carinab Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This show debuted on September 25th but unfortunately I didn't catch it until the 2nd episode. One of the writers works in comic books and the show flows in sort of that serialized, comic book manner very well. There are also some references to popular comic and science fiction icons woven into the scripts. For example, there's a scene where the horned rim glasses guy asks Suresh, a genetics doctor, if Suresh isn't the Indian last name equivelant to Smith or Anderson. And he's says it in his best Matrix Agent voice. Anyway, I don't watch a lot of TV but I'll be making the effort to follow this show. NBC will run the first three episodes back to back Sunday night starting at 7pm central. Be warned that there is striptease scene and some graphic/gory content - not something you might want the kiddos to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I missed the first two but caught them with Bitorrent. Seemingly an X-Men rip-off at first glance, but it ends up uniquely cool. Just putting things together at a really nice pace and throwing in some awesome twists. I wonder if they're going to make it a kind of Groundhog Day in which Hiro bends time if they don't succed by November 8 in NYC. Speaking of pacing, they haven't revealed the Vegas woman's power. It's like she has blackouts in which her kick-ass alter ego (warrior goddess?) takes over. Any theories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm more intrigued by the younger brother .. Does he have any super powers at all? Maybe his super power is that he can clone those of others around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just for info, they repeat the shows on Friday on Sci-Fi channel It's one of the most original shows on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 BADASS!!! Ninjatimetravelingsuperdude!! When I got the Dillon 550, the wife got Tivo, and up until now, I have NEVER been a TV watcher! Heros kicks ass, and the time traveling ninja made me a freakin' fan forever! Gotta love the X-Men/X-Files/Millenuim flavor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Pharaoh Bender, I think you've got the most original screen name I've ever seen. I LOVE it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Pharaoh Bender,I think you've got the most original screen name I've ever seen. I LOVE it! Thanks brother! Any show with a multitude of old sci-fi references and an alcoholic robot is groovy in my book! A close second, however, is any show with a time/space traveling ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Did everyone see that in the first couple episodes, when the Suresh guy is in his father's apartment, the guy comes to kill him. He disarms the guy. The gun the guy came to kill him with is an STI/SV variant, looked like and open gun with no C-More. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The gun the guy came to kill him with is an STI/SV variant, looked like and open gun with no C-More. Later he has that gun and raises it when someone comes to the door, but it's the girlfriend. The gun looked like it had a magwell and a single port comp.

carinab Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Good episode...I am betting that Mr. HRG (horn rimmed glasses aka Bennet) isn't actually a bad guy...well, not exactly. He isn't Sylar for certain. If he were the one collecting freeze dried brains, he would have taken Matt's. He let Matt go (after giving him the "total recall" treatment) and he wiped Brady. Did he kill Papa Suresh? Don't know on that one but he knows the same gun smith as the "exterminator" who was planting (rather than killing) bugs in the Suresh apartment...that was another comp'd SV Mr. HRG was pointing at Petrelli.

dajarrel Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Mr HRG is a lot like the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on the X-files in that you don't really ever know who's side he is on or what he is up to. Other than the characters being developed (those with powers), he seems to be the one to watch. dj edited because my grammar sux :-) Edited October 25, 2006 by dajarrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTOSHootr Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) I watched four episodes I had Tivoed last night. I loved it. My wife isn't into comic stuff at all, and she found herself staying up to watch them all with me too. That's good, the other recent show I've been watching, Dexter, on Showtime, isn't her cup of tea at all. It is pretty dark. BTW, it definitely looks like an SVI to me.

carinab Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) {HRG} Don't know on that one but he knows the same gun smith as the "exterminator" who was planting (rather than killing) bugs in the Suresh apartment...that was another comp'd SV Mr. HRG was pointing at Petrelli. It's the same gun! It just dawned on me why HRG had that comp'd SV when kidnapping Nathan Petrelli. Eden (the one hanging around Suresh) had access to it because as she has a key to Papa Suresh's place. She gave it to HRG so I'm gonna say she's working with/for him. But if I remember, Hiro finds that gun on the floor when he visits Isaac just before the big KABOOM...Hmmmm....not certain how that works.

Micah Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Do they repeat episodes at a different time/date/station? My wife filled the DVR with so much Dr.Phil, Oprah, and The View that Hero's got bumped off the recorder (she's going to love coming home today to the 50 tivo'd SPorts Centers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Pretty sure it is on Sci Fi. Can't remember what time though. Love the Sports Center Idea!!! You can also watch it online.
