http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/
Anyone else following it? So far it seems to have a lot of potential, judging by the already aired two episodes. :lol: Hiro is awesome.
-
Yeah, it got more interesting on the second episode. Hiro's powers are crazy shit :lol:
And the schizo stripper lady has some interesting power. She seems to be the only one with offensive power at the moment.
-
I really liked the unexpected ending to Hiro's little foray to NYC. The 2nd episode gives us a glimpse of the villain powers which I think is pretty cool too. I like this show a lot, only 5 weeks left to avert a disaster!
-
yar, the show is badass. Hiro's arc for the first two eps were awesome. gonna be following this one
-
That sux, I missed the first 2 eps.
I had wanted to check this out.
-
^
Both eps are available at:
http://www.torrentspy.com/
-
Thanks for the heads up, flamingmoe.
-
So the bad guy likes BRAINS... BWAINS!
-
so..wuts it about..do they have abilities like superman and stuff ?
-
*bump*
Just watched the ep from yesterday, and dayum, I'm hooked on this show now.
I usually don't see it on Monday's cause it comes on at the same time as RAW, but then I'll either dl the ep the next day, or watch it on Fridays when its shown on the SciFi channel.
-
Is Claire's Dad "Syler"?
-
^ Hmmm.. I thought he was just an ordinary guy, but maybe he is.
In the preview writeups before the show started they were all talking about a criminal that could walk through walls and shit. I was like watching every episode waiting for him to show up. Well I guess he finally did, I think he is that black estranged husband dude. Damn both that kid's parents got superpowers, wonder what the kid's got.
-
I just started watching this series thanks to the advice from my Japanese Teacher. She's been watching it and told me that she thought it was nice that some of the things we learned in class were used in parts of the dialogue in the show. Anyway I seen ep1 and ep2. I had a copy of ep3 but is was a duplicate of ep2...so am I back on Torrent Spy...trying to get caught up.
So far I think the show is really cool...lot's of potential for this series. And what guy can resist a show where one of the main characters is a cheerleader! XD I'll come back to this thread once I am caught up...so as to not run into any spoliers.
-
I just got episode 1-6 from my friend, I'm gonna run them thru tomorrow.
I was gonna watch it on TV but I've been missing it all the time.
Cant' wait to start watching tomorrow after work
-
i just wanted to try out the 1st ep but got totally addicted and have been waiting impatiently each week. the eps are getting more n more interesting. don't really like the cheerleader's dad. what's his problem anyway? well.. there's gotta be a bad guy huhh.
hiro's gonna be a ninja XD
-
I still don't get what's so great about Nikki's powers. :lol:
Is Claire's Dad "Syler"?
I don't think so. Doesn't even seem like he's got powers. For now, I'd say he's neutral.
-
hiya.
Nikki's powers kinda suck, yeah =) Just a schizo. Not really a super power. It would be cool if she could like, split into 2 people.
Nopes, I don't think he isn't Syler either. He seems to be a bad guy, but I don't think he is. He does have a lot of power though. I believe there's still a higher power above him.
Yes, I think Syler eats brains or something. I think there's something in the brain where the superpowers lie, and probably extracts them for his own use. Notice how he had multiple powers when Cop guy and white detective was chasing him?
-
Hiro's home boy will save the day. I guess Peter's like Rogue, gains the powers of the people around him.
-
Needs more discussion. ;)
Hiro really is a hero now. He went all the way back to the past! And what's with Mohinder?
-
The storyline is advancing at such a snail pace that it's starting to get boring now :ONbored:
-
Next week, looks like they get to save the girl!
-
It seems like Mohinder has some sort of powers. Or, his sister (i'm assuming that's his sister who looks like a boy) has powers in the Afterworld/Heaven/Soul Society/Whatever you wanna call it, where she can communicate with him. Cuz really, how can Mohinder find out about the conversation his parents had? I dunno, i didn't really see how that was possible.
So, glasses guy seems to be releasing their powers, but in a shady way. Dude kidnaps them, blacks them out, then leaves them to understand it on their own =P If he's there to help, why didn't he help out cop guy or radioactive man? Kinda funny how he got the girl to make druggie take drugs again =P I'm guessing shorthair girl has some trusting power or something?
Hiro musta did something, since he was in the picture in the end. That means he was 'successful' in meeting her back in the past if that pic was taken.
The storyline is advancing at such a snail pace that it's starting to get boring now :ONbored:
Next week its probably back to boring Nikki/DL and the Brothers storyline... I don't like those ones. At least the kid has powers, and knows who his mom is.
-
Yes i love the show seen everyone so far... intresting monday episode ... i thought the memerize girl was intresting ... will be intresting to see if hiro is able to save her or how it turns out from him trying to save her... i am also intrested in seeing new people and learning more about the crazy lady/go through walls guy's son who made the phone work without money and while it was out of order.... something to do with control over electronics or something?
and on the note of mohinder... i wouldent be surpised if he did have powers every leader of a group has powers so wouldent be surprised if he did... been meaning to check out the online comic.. but been working too much but anyway its awesome show :D
-
I still don't get what's so great about Nikki's powers. :lol:
I don't think so. Doesn't even seem like he's got powers. For now, I'd say he's neutral.
i think nikki's powers are like the bruce banners (the hulk), it's a multipersonality thing, that is super strong and she can't control. i think because she can't control the alterego, she's neither a good or bad character (just like the hulk.):popcorn:
-
O.K., Lets do a rundown of people and powers in this show. I'll hide this just in case of spoilers.
Peter Petrelli - Can copy anybodys power if he's near them. Basicly he's like the Marvel Universe's Mimic.
Nathan Petrelli - Flight. And damn does this guy have some speed.
Isaac Mendez - Can paint the future. When he's high.
Hiro Nakamura - Time travel, time freeze, and teleportation. Hasn't really got a hold of the whole teleportation and time travel thing.
Claire Bennett - Quick healing. Hates herself so much I think in season 2 she'll start cutting herself.
Matt Parkman - Mind reading.
Niki Sanders - Possesses a split personality with super strength.
D.L. Hawkins - Intangibility (Phase through people and objects)
Micah Sanders - Electronics manipulation and repair. A young mutant Tony Stark.
Charlie (Waitress in the south west) - Can remember anything.
Ted Sprague - Radiation Emmission.
If there is anyone I forgot, please post.
-
Sylar? has like multiple powers. If i remember, he has high jumping ability, can't be stopped by bullets so some defense thing, can move objects with his mind, can force you to physically do things, can cut your head with his finger.
The black dude who doesn't talk. He can block mind reading, block out your memory, and can also help unleash your powers.
Ok, so I was wrong about the little kid being mohinder's little sister. I thought it wasn't, but people kept saying he was... so i just went with the flow. So yeah, that little soccer kid has powers too, can go in your dreams.
-----
Yeah, Jessica can rip people in half and is ruthless. So i guess she's super strong. She's slightly better now... Who thinks she didn't hit DL? I don't! =)
re: episode 9, i was thinking, the cheerleader isn't really saved yet. Since Druggie guy painted that image of Peter dead on the floor, that means that was supposed to happen already. So really, it could mean that nothing/fate hasn't changed yet?
-
Then there's whatsherface with the huge eyes. The one who was helping Mohinder and does that mind control/persuasion thing. (maybe only with guys?)
-
^she looks like Summer from the O.C
is she?
-
thought it was cool in the last episode the way syler just put his finger near the head and cut it open that scence was pretty cool... and i thought that it was cool when they fell off the roof... if she hadent come close to peter he probally would have died looking forward to next week!
-
great episode this week but it sucked that he couldent save the memorization chick espcially since they were in love
-
So, after seeing the flashback episode... what exactly is Sylar's powers?
-
I think he can actually take peoples powers by eating their brains.
And his jealousy of the other heroes is making him hunt them down and kill them.
I'm not entirely sure but he didn't really have any power until he killed that guy that could move stuff with his mind.
-
So, after seeing the flashback episode... what exactly is Sylar's powers?
Another way to think of is that Sylar has power that incorporated that fat guy's skill that can move objects around, as well as his own (a power that is similar to him taking watches apart). That's why he slices people's head around and takes their brains out (just like how you remove a watch by removing the circle plates from the back of a watch and then remove the components apart).
-
I think Sylar's original powers are something to do with some super sense for something that's not 'correct' or 'fixed'.
Remember before killing the fat guy with the telekenesis powers, he had an ability to look into his brain or something, he saw some gears, and he said something like, "You're Broken". Then he realized what the professor was saying, something about the brain and fitting puzzles together.
I think he just realized there's something in the brain that holds people's powers, and he could take them and fit it into himself.
-
Interesting.. Thanks for the explanations about Sylar. I was just going to ask about him since I wasn't really paying attention when I watched it :ONsad:
-
loved the '6 months ago' episode..
yup.. definitely. i think sylar's power is he could 'fix' things.. and people with extraordinary powers are considered broken..
but based on the number of people he's killed, he must have gained a lot of powers by now..
-
At the moment, the powers he has gathered are moving stuff with mind, super memory I assume (after killing that girl in the cafe) althought I guess we don't know what's going to happen with that since hiro might do something, he also has that power he uses to cut peoples heads open like he did with the cheerleader by pointing his finger at her head. The thing that I want to see though is the guy that absorbs peoples powers against sylar, since he could use ALL of sylar's powers, I know they've had one encounter already but it didn't last very long.
-
Finally caught an episode..the so-called "explain all" one haha. A little lost, but looks really promising. Next week someone dies oooh ahh
(http://img148.imagevenue.com/loc478/th_75277_larter_heroes_hq_1_122_478lo.jpg) (http://img148.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=75277_larter_heroes_hq_1_122_478lo.jpg) (http://img159.imagevenue.com/loc311/th_75282_larter_heroes_hq_2_122_311lo.jpg) (http://img159.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=75282_larter_heroes_hq_2_122_311lo.jpg) (http://img23.imagevenue.com/loc371/th_75287_larter_heroes_hq_3_122_371lo.jpg) (http://img23.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=75287_larter_heroes_hq_3_122_371lo.jpg) (http://img25.imagevenue.com/loc318/th_75292_larter_heroes_hq_4_122_318lo.jpg) (http://img25.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=75292_larter_heroes_hq_4_122_318lo.jpg)
The Japanese guy is funny. Ali Larter is :jerk:
-
so now we know that Sylar's power is somewhat the same as Peter's but Sylar consumes the power instead of "borrowing" it (like Rogue in X-Men). And this show is getting more intense and mystery as more things are coming out while others being solve!
and we know now that Peter could be the cause of the explosion (like he said and what Issac drew (the red flamming man) ) but how come? I really want to watch more!
And The Haitian's identity is still unknown to me. He talked to Claire only but it seems to me that he tries to do something. I feel like he is trying to work against Claire's father.
-
Epic cliffhanger is epic.
A whole bunch of stuff happened I don't even know where to start. Hiro fighting a dinosaur, wielding only a katana? OH SHI- I'm not worried about him stepping on a bug, I'm worried about the dinosaur. :lol: Also, it seems like Haitian guy has some kind of agenda of is his own. Cool.
I'm upset over the death of Eden, but at least she wasn't killed by Sylar. Nice move of her. And.. WHAT HAPPENED TO PETER AT THE END? Sudden blackout was weird, as well as the future explosion. Overwhelmed by all of the powers?
Sylar is free again, yay.
-
Peter's been having premonitions coming to him in dreams since the first episode. Perhaps that's a latent power of his as well? That said, the dreams he's had have been somewhat misleading so far. However, if you take them at face value, it becomes an interesting question:
Maybe by some freak accident, Peter gains the radiation guy's power and blows hisself up in the future... But then again future-Hiro knew him and commented about "looking different without his scar". And I'm assuming future-Hiro came from a timeline with the explosion occurring.
In any case, AWESOME PAINTING OF HIRO & DINO WITH SWORD!!! can't wait for that ep!
Also, lol @ Peter/Officer Parkman feedback loop of mind reading.
-
Maybe Peter gets the powers of that nuclear powered guy.
-
It's funny to see Hiro saw the drawing of himself fighting the dinosaur and said "I must look for the sword!"
:lol:
but all we know is Hiro will find it according to what we saw in the early episode when future Hiro came back, he had a katana with him.
-
Maybe Hiro mis-"jumps" and lands in pre-historic land. We do know Sylar rewrites his own DNA when he adds powers to his collection, Claire's Dad mentions it when he interrogates him.
-
They should just make the whole show about Hiro, seriously.
-
Hiro - RULES
That ending last week confused me.. I know that one guy can take on other power when he is near them,... was that trying to say that if he is near all the "heroes" he will explode?
-
^ How does kryptonite work?
(its a story!)
-
The guy who plays Peter (I think his name is Milo?), also plays as Rocky's son in the upcoming Rocky movie! Yay for shameless plugs!
-
Heard about it from a friend of mine!
He really likes it and I gonna get some Episodes from him ^^
-
yeah its an awesome show sad that i have to wait 3 weeks for a new ep
-
The next episode comes out on my birthday!
Also, I got really mad looking for this weeks episode on torrentspy until I found out it's not on this week :(
-
I love this show... I recently got hooked on it.... I mean it has Haydeen Pateniere (I spelled it wrong I think) as a Cheerleader... It's like watching Bring it On with Super powers....
-
Hiro - RULES
That ending last week confused me.. I know that one guy can take on other power when he is near them,... was that trying to say that if he is near all the "heroes" he will explode?
Maybe it's b'coz he's sucking too much power at the same time. +_+
-
It's possible Sylar will take the nuclear guy's powers, and Peter will absorb Sylar's. Because Sylar has so many frigging powers, it proves too much for Peter and he just completely loses control. Either way, I'm pretty sure the nuclear guy will be the key to it all going kablooey.
-
Yeah January is only a few days away that means i am guessing that we will be having new ep's this coming week again :D I hope
-
Waiting for those new eps, also.
Anxious to see how the storyline will continue.
Hope to see Hiro get a better handle on his power.
-
i heard about it will soon be aired in my country ..the story looks gud
-
New eps start on the 22nd. :w00t:
-
They have Heroes watching Parties in Irving, TX at the Summer Party Boba Tea Shop
-
OK i just found out Something Awesome :D
i was browsing the nbc website trying to find out when the New Episodes are coming on and I Found Something Cool You can Watch the entire Episode of all of the Episodes so far on the websites and they will be of course adding the new ones to it once they come out VERY COOL :D
ohh and dont close it if it goes to a commercial or an advertisment for heros its not over after the commercial it comes back to the normal show
also hiro was on jay leno and there is a clip of it and they show a little clip from the next episode that isent out yet
but when is the Series going to restart again ? and also dident hero's used to be Tuesdays ? cause the nbc website says it comes on mondays
-
We got 10 more days, and then the new eps for Heroes start airing. :MKgrin:
-
4 more days till the new season of Heroes starts. :yay:
-
HEROES!!!!!
So the new invisible hero made an appearance. Apparently he's a really famous actor in Europe. But yeah! He knows people like Peter! "Ah, you're one of them"
What else... They got into Sylar, but they could only find the Telekenesis strand. But, didn't he steal that one?
Also, they hinted that Mohinder could be on the list! He didn't deny that he was when he was asked the question!
-
Ah I had to be at work yesterday. Does anyone know where I could watch it, I've never found it on youtube?
-
Have you tried http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/heroes.shtml ?
-
^yes, but nbc.com usually waits for another episode before posting the one that just aired. So if I want this week eps won't be one til after next week's ep and than a new dilemna starts.
-
^ If you have access to newsgroups, 1x12 is up in a.b.multimedia
-
Ah never mind, they nbc.com just put episode 12. guess they changed their policy or something.
-
The invisible hero appears, and it looks like the guy with the radioactive powers might be getting a handle on using his powers.
Damn, gonna have to see this ep again, I was switching between 3 different channels last night, so I'm certain I missed some parts.
-
Hiro- "Ah, Flying Man!"
-
This show is so great I love everybit of it I can not wait to watch the new ones next monday I predicted most of the things they were talking about in last mondays ep so it was cool to see that you were right about things.
-
Cant wait to see Hiro in his bad ass suit
-
Heroes creator Tim Kring says Heroes isn't going to be like Lost... the apocalyptic event will be dealt with this seasonand that Season Two will have another story attached to it.
-
:w00t: Hiro's pop is George Takai, Mr. Sulu himself, I like that a whole lot.
Its nice to know that he's still in the acting game.
-
LOL Hiro's reaction to his father being the big boss was so priceless
-
Roommate's reaction to Hiro's father being the big boss was priceless.
So, who wants to start the speculation on who Claire's dad is?
-
So, who wants to start the speculation on who Claire's dad is?
There's no reason to do that when you already know the answer. ;)
-
^is it? because I have no clue at this point, indulge me.
-
Well, I have a hunch, but we've never actually seen his face. But his name pops up everywhere.
Linderman?????.
-
You mean Linderman?

Yeah cheers for that. After watching the first episode it looks quite interesting, but my mate who has all the eps out so far says it gets really boring. Like 1% of really good action then 99% of boringness. We'll see, ill get it anyhow.
-
Make no mistake, this show is a DRAMA. If intricate multi-threaded story is "boringness", I must ask: Does your friend have a really short attention span? If you want special-effects action every 5 minutes, watch a superhero movie.

Yeah I think I will take the time to make my own judgement, just curious if people do like it, as that'll give me more of an incentive to watch it.
Thanx

it is quite boring in the sense that theres no action, but i wouldnt say boring as in you dont pay attention and dose off.. something keeps you hooked ...
-

yeah i agree, there isn't a lot of action like x-men or something but it's still pretty damn good to catch my attention. i find the story with the split personality chick to be dumb though.
-
damn i hate these cliffhangers. This is the only american show that I watch since school started and top chef is over. Cant wait to see hiro and his father interact
-
Yeah New Hero's is awesome and next week i hear will be better than this weeks :D
-
damn i hate these cliffhangers. This is the only american show that I watch since school started and top chef is over. Cant wait to see hiro and his father interact
what cliffhanger?
-
Maybe it's more of a "big revelation" than a cliffhanger?
-
New ep tonight, can't wait. :w00t:
-
Dang, twist at the very last second! =P I did read a spoiler that 2 people were going to be related, but I thought it was going to be the other brother =P
-
OMG!!!
I couldn't believe the end with claire's dad!! >_<
I did NOT see that coming!...wow..just wow..
I can't believe it's nathan
the episodes rock as always..Can't wait til' next Monday night..
-
I think I thought it was him first, but discounted it. Maybe I shouldn't have, lol.
Did anyone else notice the license plate # on Hiro's dad's car?
NCC-1701
Lol.
-
^I didn't notice the license plate.
I did finally recognize that the invisible hero is the same guy who played the new Dr. Who in the first season of that new series.
-
You know the twist was good, but now that I think about it does, Claire and he have no relations so how does it play out?
-

I noticed it... I wasn't too sure about it at first so I had to record a bit of Star Trek to make sure I was right!XD

Claire and who don't have relations? Nathan? He's her dad. Or do you mean they've never met or something?
-
i'm confused about the times that peoples powers are surfacing. claire is at birth, her mother was 16 years ago (presuming she caused that fire..), yet nathan (her dad) only seems to be able to fly recently. and the other characters who seem to have been able to use their powers for a while (invisi-man & haitian)

what's there to be confusing? it's obvious that not everyone would experience and learn their abilities at the same time. think of it as people hitting puperty, but with a wider range of age haha.
-
I've only watched this till the 9th episode... I like it a lot! it keeps you hanging on every episode (annoying but nice)
-
Claire and who don't have relations? Nathan? He's her dad. Or do you mean they've never met or something?
yes i mean they've never met, obviously he's her dad. For instance a twist of this sort would have been better if Claire and Nathan actually had a history together besides genetically. Peter, though it would be less probable for him to have a child out of wedlock, would have been a better choice.

Yeah, I agree it would have been better had they had atleast a bit of interaction before they find out they're father and daughter.
-
seems some people are quite perceptive as to what's happening...
-
I've seen two episodes now, and its certainly interesting. I'm tempted to download the whole 1-14 episodes but thats 8gig ! Will take a while on 512 DSL. The fact that there isn't action the whole time doesn't worry me, its quite interesting.

it is still quite a good twist because claire's already met her uncle (peter) and their connection was very good from the get go. anyway it really seems like EVERYONE's connected one way or another..
i didn't expect peter to be able to use all of the powers that he absorbed. that's totally awesome. but he already came close to sylar and yet didn't get sylar's original ability or the stolen ones. maybe that's too much..

Maybe absorbing what Sylar had is what set him off... he was fine until he got in close contact with Sylar. And then when he was in the cell that's when he started looking and acting sick and practically coughing up a lung before passing out outside the station. Question is: will he be able to call up the powers of the people Sylar killed with out knowing what they are?

If you ask me, I think he would because he didn't know Claire's power yet he used it, so absorbing Sylar's abilities wouldn't be any different since it's technically Sylar's powers now even though he stole it. Guess we'll find out later on =]

So you're saying that he could call up a power he needed, if he had it, if he were put in a certian situation where he needed that power?

heroes is so good! i love itt!
-
So you're saying that he could call up a power he needed, if he had it, if he were put in a certian situation where he needed that power?
Exactly, although I wonder why he didn't fly when he was falling on the last episode, but he did manage to heal himself. But this is all my opinion so it could be right or wrong of course.

i thought he used Claire's power the first time because he was near her (like he does with everyone else). and the second time because he suddenly remembered the feeling of being with her seconds before landing on the car. then they were saying later that maybe that's the way he could use the absorbed powers at will..
i'm not so sure if Hiro's really going to get his powers back just by getting the sword though. maybe it's just going thru a temporary off period because he used it too much..

heroes is awesome i jut hope they dont over complicate it , entwining everyone with everyone , like with peter petrelli and clair now , i dont liek that kidna of stuff , it ruines the show imo... i dotn want it to be some kind of lame soap drama where everyone is related to each other in some way ....
-
how i can download episode 6 and next? Did u see Prison Break... It's good too...
-
i liked the first season of prison break , but i stopped in the middle of season 2 , it became too stupid and repetetive ,they were trying to hard to give new riddles and cliffhangers wich imo destroyed the show for me... I hate it went tv networks drag out teh shows too much destroying everything in the end . that show should have just ended on the middle of second season , and not try to make it so that they can go on for like 5 seasons.... it will just be to ridicolus...
-
Sylar has the liquid touch!
-
I heard Hiro won't be seen with the cast when the second season starts.. His character is going to be cruising around in another century.

What a twist!
I'd never expect Simone to die, since she was in Peter's vision just before he went KA-BAM. :lol:
-
I thought that vision was more symbolic, since Claire was still in her cheerleader uniform and stuff...
-
Yeah, most likely.
Am I the only one who thinks Mohinder is an idiot? :lol: Sylar was acting just like what the super-hearing lady described the day before.
-
What a twist!

Are we sure she's dead? But she did look like she took one in the heart... how ironic.
I had heard though that one of the people in the love triangle wasn't going to make it to the end of the season.. Never thought it would be her.
Yeah, most likely.
Am I the only one who thinks Mohinder is an idiot? :lol: Sylar was acting just like what the super-hearing lady described the day before.
Not only that, Sylar acts pretty creepy most of the time yet Suresh doesn't seem to notice. And he barely knows Sylar yet agrees to take him along to find the others.:doh:
-
I just started watching 'Heroes' this Monday... all I can say is... wow, I'm hooked to the show now... I have to find a way to catch up with the series somehow... any suggestions?
p.s. "Heroes" = :ONcool1:
-
The official Heroes webside on NBC has all the past episodes in streaming format:
http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/heroes.shtml
Really, that's the easiest way to go if you don't mind the relatively low quality or don't want to bother with torrents.
-
peter is turning into neo from the matrix..
and now hiro can also reverse time?! cool
Am I the only one who thinks Mohinder is an idiot? :lol: Sylar was acting just like what the super-hearing lady described the day before.
yup. for a supposed professor/genius Mohinder is a slow idiot since episode 1 XD
-
peter is learning how to control his powers far he might b the next sylar or something.. lol ^ mohinder sure is. completely didnt even knw thinks sylar got an 'headache'
-
mohinder sucks! seriously stupid for a scientist.
super hearing lady was cool. peter is pretty awesome about now.cant wait to see this weeks ep :D
-
thx Slack for the info on the main site... unfortunately i can only find the 1st esp and the most recent esp... but i did manage to finish reading the entire wikipedia site on Heroes... so i have a better idea of whats going on now...
anyways.. Mohinder must be very dense or lack any common sense that Skylar is in front of him... I wonder what's Peter's limit on how many abilities he can use at the same time?.. also... how is Hiro going get the sword that seems to be destined to help him save the world?
-
I don't like Peter's floopsy hair. He's reminding me of Little Nicky, the Adam Sandler film. They both have powers too, which makes it even more of a comparison.
(http://www.miloventimigliafan.com/gallery/albums/Heroes/Episode%20Stills/normal_Heroes_12.jpg) (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/entertainment/movies/images/littlenicky.jpg)
-
Huh, how about that. I thought mistakenly that they had all the episodes from the beginning, but instead they only store ep 1, and eps 12-16.
I guess they don't expect complete newcomers to watch the show from the beginning on their site, so they only keep the 5 most recent episodes.
If you use this address:
http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/heroes.shtml?show=heroes01
and replace the "01" at the end with "12" - "16", you should be able to get those episodes playing.
And yes, Mohinder is a big dumb dumb head. It's not like he can help it though, since he's basically operating without any information other than what he's given. And most of what he's being given is false, anyway (at least by Sylar). I don't think he'd even seen Sylar's face before he went to the liquid-guy's apartment. It'd be child's play for Sylar, with his super-memory and who knows what other powers, to pull the wool over Mohinder's eyes.
And for Peter's powers, I think he can only use one or two powers at a time, otherwise he'd be invisible while flying around and such.
Edit: Maybe Peter's powers COME FROM HIS HAIR, lol. Naw, in all seriousness, I think they want him to be the brooding emo type to his brother's buttoned down scandalous politician. You have to admit, the hair contributes to about half of that image.
-
wow awesome, a heroes thread. I'm a big fan of the show...even though i gotta admit second season isn't as good as the first...but i'm still wathcin haha
-
Pretty awesome episode this week. It answers a lot of questions re: Glasses Guy, and reveals a lot of cool stuff.
Its still considered first season, btw =) It just had a little break. They did confirm that the end of the world storyline will infact end this season and not drag out.
re: last weeks ep, anyone notice Mr. Marvel himself Stan Lee as the bus driver? =D

^ wat episode was this 16 or 15? i wanna see him too!
-
it was 16 he was in.
17 was amazing! i liked the intrigue/story behind mr bennett.
-
Yesterday was epic.
-
spoilers if no one watched ep 17 yet
but, remember when glasses guy was talkin to haitian guy, and he asked him why he didn't erase Claire's memory? Then he said someone higher than glasses guy said not to do it, someone that knows Claire. Then it went to a flashback with Glasses guy "killing" invisible guy. So, who told him not to erase Claire's memory? Invisible guy? I think i have to watch it again.
Oh, anyone did you see the previews for next weeks episode? Black girl is still alive? =P
-
woo hoo...last episode was crazy...soo many scenes made me stand up with a feeling of "wow, wut's gonna happen next"
ok i know this is kinda late, but two eps back, maybe eps 16, hiro was saved from a shot at point blank.
Could there be another hero that saved their lives, or did hiro stop time or at least slow it down?
-

It looked like he reversed time somehow, because the bullet actually went in the reverse direction. Yet, time was still going in a forward motion because technically the bullet shouldn't have been fired since its reversed. It would just be in the barrel again unfired, not hit the gun out of her hand.
So really, he moved something in normal time, which is more like telekenesis... which doesn't make sense cuz he controls time.
Right? I'll watch it again.
Honestly to me, storytelling about controlling the 4th dimension has flaws. Sometimes I just accept it.
Unless there really is another hero around. but no one was around.
-
Maybe he created a localized time distortion around the bullet... Damn that's geeky.
-
Mr. Bennet got da hand! He was a nice guy afterall.

actually if you notice the exact same gun motion happened when mr. bennet shot the invisible dude, he didn't pull the trigger but it shot, just like when hiro was about to be shot the bullet went back in, but was shot again without her pulling the trigger. i think there is a mysterious person at work.

wow I noticed this too. I wonder.... damn answer questions and raise morer questions. Cant wait till next week.

I don't think she's still alive... I think Issac might be so torn up about her death that he'll start using again and it's just a hallucination.

i'm assuming the black girl is isaac's ex rite? well in the previews she did look alive...cuz she have super powers to and be part of the heroes?
i love this show...so many twists
-
Or maybe it's a dream? Or maybe some kind of vision? They've done that kind of thing before.
-
too bad for Mr. Bennett... but where would Claire go to now?... how about the sword Hiro's suppose to get?... any speculations on what it can do? and who he might have to go up against to claim his sword?... there's a lot of questions that the last esp. made me think about... can't wait to watch the next week's esp. :ONdunno:

Maybe the Haitian's got some people of his own and Claire is going to join them.
As for Hiro's sword.. I think they mentioned that it's supposed to help him focus his power, but how it does that I don't know.
-
Sylar gets away again!
-
Next episode is on APRIL 23!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!
its good Mohinder isn't as stupid as we thought he was. But then Sylar has powers so yeah. I like the Sylar character. He's a good villain.
They're just packing the show with stars now, eh? First George Takei, then Eric Roberts, now Malcolm McDowell.
So, the Petrelli mom knows everything? Who is connected to The Haitian, who was chasing flying man in the first few episodes... So, i'm assuming Glasses guy didn't know about this relation.
Missy Peregrym is sexy =)
re: the Preview for next ep
Sylar vs Neo!
They go into the future! Claire with the long brown hair! That was her, rite?
Future Hiro!
-
ah damn it! why must this show hook me to much and then make me wait so long.god talk about a cliffhanger.
-
does anyone know the brown hair girl in the skirt & boots powers? the one that works for that secret organization that Mr. Bennett works for too? My friends and I were trying to figure out her powers... I think her powers are the ability to create illusions around her.
besides that, is the next esp really going be in April 23?! :ONcry:
-
epguides says there is another one on 12-mar:
http://www.epguides.com/Heroes/
And the girl is ' Missy Peregrym': http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1335291/
-
nice tvseries...i like it alot
group od individuals with different skills n power
love sylar or what he is called~
-
Yeah, next episode is on 3/12 if going by the intarweb.
Yesterday was another epic episode. Ando is an awesome sidekick. :lol:

I'm thinking its creating illusions. At first I thought she could morph into other people, but I remember when she turned into the black girl the real black girl wasn't dead on e-sacs bed.
Missy Peregrym was in the movie Stick it

I mentioned it on H!O but forgot to here that I heard in a couple months that Peter was going to be bald and have a scar.. presumably from Sylar trying to take his brain out.
As for the Petrelli mother.. didn't the Haitian say he was taking orders from someone higher up in Claire's life? So she probably knows everything that's been going on and all about Peter and Nathan's powers.
-
gotta say, yesterday's episode was hella crazy...i was shocked that we have to wait till april 23 to see wut happens next
man...i hope i can still remember everything that happened in season II
i barely remembered that claire was related to peter
-
yeah the episodes have been awesome last nights was really crazy with the syler/peter part near the end sucks that i have to wait till i think april 26th or around there for a new episode but i havent missed a single episode so far i know that the first season is almost over, but i hear that the next episode will be set in the future which sounds intresting if you guys listen to podcast i would defintly recommend the10thwonder.com excellent podcast that i listen on the way to work every week :D
and to reply to usugi i dont think they ever said that peter will be bald but future hiro did mention peter having a scar in the one episode when they were on the train he said " you look diffrent without your scar" i presume that he got a scar from the slice that syler did across the head in the end of this weeks episode but somehow gets away is my guess cause i dont think they would kill peter off at least i hope they wouldent he is one of my favorite chars. ohh yeah i wanted to say Missy Peregrym was hot and evil ! but she is just doing her job i guess but still very evil!! whether she is as hot as the cheerleader i am not sure i will have to see more of her :P
-
Miss Peregrym is pretty hot... too bad wiki doesn't have much info on her yet... I wonder what they are going to do with Mr. Bennett... also would the next be devoted to peter vs sylar fight? it would be fun to watch... :ONxD:

I heard about Peter being bald on E! News Live. They've been right about everything so far... they even revealed who would be playing Sylar even before his first appearance on the show.
Peter will get away... I've heard that both he and Sylar will be regulars next season.
-
i'm sadly not up-to-date with this series. i stopped at epi10. i'm thinking of a heroes marathon when i finally have time again.

I wonder what Sylar do with those brain...

re: next season (highlight)
Tim Kring reveals: The upcoming second season will constitute a new volume in the multi-volume series, with new characters and an entirely new storyline. "If you remember, the opening of the pilot pronounced the episode as the beginning of Volume One," Kring said in an interview. "Volume One comes to a conclusion at the end of episode 23, and Volume Two starts with the opening of season two. And Volume Two is a different story." Kring added: "We could have new people and new storylines and new ideas and new threats and new bad guys and new heroes. So I would prepare the audience for that idea, that it's not just a continuing serialized storyline about only these people. It's a little more the 24 model than the Lost model." Kring also confirmed that some of the current heroes just might not survive this season, but added: "Many of your favorites will live to fight again."
So yeah, its not going to be a continuation of Season 1. Entirely new everything.
and re: the haitian, i concluded that he's a "double agent" of some sort.
-
^ Hm, so something like 24 but different?
-
After the loss of my job, it's hit me.
Would I be better off Happy or a life with meaning?

love this show! but i'm hating the way they decided to end it again, all so they could air the remaining of the first season during may ratings! :evil: bastids!

I'm pretty sure that many of the heroes won't make it but I atleast expect Peter, Sylar, and Mohinder to continue on into the second season if not further although they won't necessarily be main characters.
(Spoiler: Highlight to read):I heard in an upcoming episode that all the heroes were going to die.. although the episode is set 5 years in the future.
-
I've watched this till episode 6 (since it has started airing 6 weeks ago here). It's a really nice show along the lines of X-men meets X-files. Hiro Nakamura's power is awesome and so is the cheerleader who is indestructible. I'm beginning to think Nikki's son might have a power too since both his parents have powers. Definitely my favorite serial to date.
-
^ Nikki's son has powers over electronics. Waiting for new eps. in Apr.
-
just gotta say, mondays aren't the same without an exciting episode of heroes
also makes u realize how much free time you have haha
-
I heard that Sylar is going to escape and will be promoted to series regular next season and that he's going to "eat" the brain of a "very important" hero whose power will be needed in the "future".
-
you know what would be crazy, if sylar ended up changin his ways and becomin one of the heroes himself
-
yea sylar is quite the psycho. you would think he's stolen enough powers to satisfy anyone by now..
if he managed to steal peter's powers would he still open up people's brains to see what's inside?
-
I get the feeling that while trying to get Peter's power Syalar is going to be the one that actually prevents Peter from exploding.
-
Just a little over a month away for new episodes!!
-
^ Nikki's son has powers over electronics. Waiting for new eps. in Apr.
Heh I saw that he managed to "repair" an out of order public phone to call Nikki.
The weekly anticipation for it to be aired on TV is killing me. Damn I hope the DVDs will be out soon.
-
the wait is killing me... :ONgyaaah:
-
i found this earlier Enjoy :D
http://www.mininova.org/get/622662 Edit that link doesent work anymore so just go here and dowload the third from the top one http://isohunt.com/torrents/heroes
you can also go to the hero's section of nbc.com and watch the ep's that have been aired so far on the site.
and yeah sucks about the haitus i wish they had reaired the other ep's that have already been shown while they are on haitus, but the next ep will be based in the future which should be intresting,
but hey i dowloaded "Parasite on Itunes so i could put it on my Ipod :D and watch it anywhere i go on my 80 gig ipod :D
-
I;ve never this drama........ Is it good?? ;D

I;ve never this drama........ Is it good?? ;D
i'm guessing you forgot some words saying you haven't seen any of it. To answer your question, yes its good =) Very good.
AND ITS BACK IN 19 HOURS FROM THIS POST! ^___^
-
Heroes reminds me of the film by M.Night Shymalan called "Unbreakable" where Bruce Willis discovers he has got invincible powers. What a cool premise, that ordinary people start to discover their supernormal powers but the movie blew it (I think) and just got too hung up on the interplay between Willis and Samuel Jackson's character.
Anyway glad someone has finally taken this premise and do justice to it. I like Heroes and long may it prosper!
-
Haha oh wow, Suresh you stupid fuck! :O He really is useless.
-
oh my gosh that was awesome
i had no idea how much i missed heroes during the short break.
-
Hiro meets Hiro!
-
Finally saw it. God why must I work on Monday nights? It wasn't as good as I was hoping for a come back episode. Most of the stuff was too predictable. The thing that left me hanging though is not the Hiro/Hiro part. Its what did Isaac mean when he said "I have left a way to stop you."
-
hiro meets hiro?? no , hiro meets his father
-
hiro meets hiro?? no , hiro meets his father
nope, it's Hiro from another time.
-
^Unless he/she is way behind on the show.

I think he discovered a way to stop Sylar and put it in the sketchbook that he gave to the delivery guy.
-
Or it could be in the final issue of 9th Wonders
I wonder what future-Hiro meant when he said Peter looked different without his scar... Especially since he can just heal himself like Claire.
-
You guys do realize that the time line has been altered already. Maybe thats why Peter no longer gets a scar.
-
^Unless he/she is way behind on the show.
yes i am :( , hiro and ando was captured by hiro's dad
-
Four of the stars of 'Heroes' are on 'Larry King Live', but there's only 15 minutes left.
-
^ not just 4 , about ten stars was there , i see the preview too when hiro meets hiro and ando becoming police(wearing police uniform)
-
nice, i gotta check out the larry king episode
-
dang. Just watched it. Best episode so far. I'm talkin about the future episode
so good. Sylar. Peter. Hiro. Too good.
I won't talk about it yet, cuz they show it an hour early here.
-
It's really short this season.
Awesome episode tonight.
-
Fucking epic episode.
So, any theories about this Molly girl?
-
man, heroes is almost over, last episode was soo crazy. I don't want it to end haha
-
I'm sure they got a second season. But I hope it can keep up with the momentum of this one. Loved this episode. Peter with the bad ass scar.
-

Pretty sure there's going to be a second season as I've heard things about it such as the focus being on new heroes, Sylar becoming a regular, and Hiro being in another century.
-
'i'm the most special, i'm the most powerful...'
>:D
heroes powers... gotta get them all~

i hope Hiro goes to fight dinosarus (like in the painting)
-
^already happen , he only poses at the replika dino in the museum ...
-
woot i discovered this thread last week, so i d/l all episodes untill no. 20. So many cool things happening.
is 20 supposed to be the last one?
i kinda browsed the whole thread about sylar's true power besides 'eating' brains. i always thought he could control his heartbeat , because he's profiled as a clockmaker > time> heartbeat. Wasn't there a sccene where he pretends to be dead and then his heart started ticking again after confirmation of his death!
-
I'm up to episode 5 now I think. The site I was watching them on isn't working at the moment though. Apparently they're on TV here but I can't find them.
I'm just disappointed that Hiro started speaking English :P

There are still 3 episodes left in the first season.
Sylar once mentioned that he's had the gift to be able to figure out how things work by looking at them which is why I don't think he eats the brains but needs to look at them to figure out how the power works. As for the stopping his heart, I don't think he did I think he was sedated and was about to be killed by Mr. Bennetts' order but killed the doctor instead. He seems to have some resistance to sedatives like he showed when Mohinder had him tied up in his apartment.
-
The actor playing Sylar is pretty cool... he can look evil and like a good guy too. Mohinder was smart enough to trap Sylar with the drugged tea but dumb enough to let him escape. Lame! :-[
-
there's trouble in NY...peter finally gonna blow. This episode wasn't as great as last weeks but it left me excited to see this season finally come to a conclusion (even tho i don't want it to end).
-
one of the creators of the show said he eats brains, but who knows, it hasn't been filmed, and he's just a creator, not a writer.
-
cool sylar has ice powers!!
i wonder how many brains he already ate/ how many powers he already gained~
-
I tell you what's scaring me about this series. I keep noticing how hot the guys are (I'm a straight guy) and I keep talking about Mohinder's lovely hair......
I think it's because Hayden's playing a young girl and I've never been keen on Ali Larter. Still it's worrying though.
-
Pretty sure there's going to be a second season as I've heard things about it such as the focus being on new heroes, Sylar becoming a regular, and Hiro being in another century.
Hiro being in another century.. hmm i'm jus wondering that
it might actually be that Hiro is Takezo Kensai himself? haha
-
Actually, they changed the idea of having a 2nd season with all new cast.
Producers thought that since the current cast is such a hit, they'll be brought back next season, of course there will be new Heroes though.
-
Mohinder could've killed Sylar when he knocked him unconscious saving Peter, and Hiro blew it by not acting quick enough.
-
anyone knows where can i direct download heroes??? anyone know?? thanks!!!
-
^ If you have access the usenet, try alt.binaries.multimedia or alt.binaries.tv
-
Sulu trained the HELL outta Hiro, hope nothing bads happens to Ando! Ted got his brain eaten by Sylar.
-
training was so DBZ
anyways, can't wait, and dammit Ando, running to your grave!
hope next ep pwnz
-
Ohhh.. New heroes episode was wack.
I just dont get jessica. WTF is with her power. She's just a psycho for god's sake...
They should kill her off the show.
And mohinder is beginning to irritate me too. Sylar plz if you would do the honour.
-
One week to go!
Ando totally went on a suicide trip, and DL headphasing Linderman was the bomb!
-
I want to see it too
-
training was so DBZ
anyways, can't wait, and dammit Ando, running to your grave!
hope next ep pwnz
Maybe Ando thinks the only way Hiro would gain the fortitude to actually kill Sylar is if he dies.
-
Anybody have more information about the fall spinoff, Heroes: Origins? Looks like six episodes have been planned.
Jessica's in the show, I believe, to keep us horny guys interested into watching the show.
-
^stoneden, i heard each episode introduced a new Hero, and after they all air, we can vote to see who will be in the main cast in the 2nd season.
-
great episode!
such a waste of the linderman character! he could do so many good things with his healing hands~~
woot! a spin-off? i hope we get interesting new characters!! And hopefully they got all scenario's ready before the voting, so they can immediately start filming 2nd season aftwerwards!!!
*Xmenfanmode on* i want a Jubilee-like character!!!
-
I'm worried about Ando, all the future telling has come true so far. I can actually see the bomb going off anyway. I'm sure there's gonna be twist overload in the final episode :) (I hope so!)
I really don't want another series. It's taking up too much of my life :D
-
about the spin-off
[...]
The "Origins" series will consist of six stand-alone episodes, with each one introducing a new character and telling his or her back story. They'll take place within the "Heroes" universe but won't be tied into the main arc of the series, although one or two regular characters may pop up.
It will also carry an interactive element: After all six "Origins" episodes air, viewers will be able to vote on which character joins the main show the following season.
[...]
-
is the black guy gonna die? that sux, he barely got to do anything except kill that old man
-
I think DL("the black guy") was spotted in the preview for next week. So he may live.
Anyway, I got the May 21-27th issue of TV Guide and it has an article about the season finales of the big shows and this is what it has to say about HEROES:
The massive cast and sprawling plots finally collide in Manhattan, but does anyone really think they'll see that much-prophesied nuclear apocalypse? Nah. "But how it all winds up is pretty unexpected," says creator Tim Kring. "I don't think anybody will say 'I saw that coming.'"
The episode's final 90 seconds will reveal next season's theme, focusing on the hidden ancestry of Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka). As for who stays and goes, Kring says, "I have to make room for new characters, but I'm easing up on the slaughter---not everyone's going out in a casket. Some will simply go away, others are still around but we just won't see them. Sorta like life."
-
Tomorrow is the season finale. As to the above, the "original Heroes (Linderman, Petrelli's dad, etc.) want NY to be blown up. It's part of their plan in re-shaping the world. To have Sylar or at the time Peter, not detonate, would be counterproductive to their goals.
-
Pretty unsatisfying ending, but the new season sounds cool.
-
Indeed.
Everyone who thinks Peter and Nathan are dead, think again. All Nathan had to do is let of Peter before he exploded and used his jet-boosters we seen in Las Vegas and he'd be fine. When Peter exploded in the alternate future, he was still alive, so that wouldn't affect him. Although his landing will be rough (since he fell from the frickin' sky) he'll be fine.
As I see it...no one died :/
The producers who were commenting that the "surviving" cast will be back in the 2nd Season were either just messin with us, cuz all the Heroes in the finale survived. If they want us to believe Nathan and Peter dead, they might bring them back late in the 2nd season or early for some epic return or some shit.
-
Peter isn't dead, but I'm pretty sure Nathan is.
Even if he'd escaped before the explosion, he'd die out of radiation. Besides, the sacrifice isn't really worthwhile if he comes back.
-
The thing I wondered about was why Peter didn't just fly himself away. Very noble and all for your brother to fly you away so you won't hurt people, but seems a bit unnecessary when you could just fly away yourself.
-
i dunno if it's just how it is but... well from so many episodes i've only seen both Peter and Sylar only using one power at a time... so about Peter trying to control his radiation power and fly away by himself... hmm... one can only wonder
-
Either that, or Peter was too focused on not blowing up.
-
The thing I wondered about was why Peter didn't just fly himself away. Very noble and all for your brother to fly you away so you won't hurt people, but seems a bit unnecessary when you could just fly away yourself.
I think the whole idea is that he couldn't control himself, that's why he couldn't simply "fly away" when he was going nuclear.
Personally I really enjoyed the ending. It was a lot different from where they could've gone, and it setup the course to the next season perfectly.
-

That's pretty much my thought as well. It probably takes a lot of concentration to do a power that originally wasn't yours and is probably the reason why they can only do one at a time.
-
i dunno 'bout everyone else, but i enjoyed the ending. I wanted nathan to go out like a hero anyways. and yea why did peter have to depend on his bro, he can fly too haha
-
Peter couldn't fly because he was out of control, that makes perfect sense. Nathan couldn't really have dropped Peter in the air and flew away because he didn't know exactly when Peter would blow up. Nathan needs to be dead because it was a big plot point that he was sacrificing himself after sort of turning into a bad guy.
I'm happy with the ending because I can find answers for everything that happened. There's no actual plot holes, just theories.
As for setting up the next season, that was awful. Hiro would have seen the guys aim their arrows and teleported straight out of there.
-
Thought I'd give this show a go, since you guys have been saying how good it is. (well, I only read the first few comments, so it wouldn't spoil it for me..)
So after just watching the first episode, gotta say it's not bad.. Kinda ripping off the 4400 though, but that's ok..
And I have a question... Does Hiro keep speaking Japanese, or does he speak English from now on since he's in NYC??
Asking because I had to read the English subtitles to my wife, since his Japanese is crap and my wife couldn't understand what he was saying a lot of the time.. (sad considering he is Japanese)
-
as long as season 1 is concerned, present-day Hiro speaks mostly Japanese with the English subtitles, only future Hiro speaks in English... *spoilers* and since he travelled back to 1600s Japan at the end of season 2, I suppose he wouldn't be speaking in English would he? haha.. *spoiler end*
-
And I have a question... Does Hiro keep speaking Japanese, or does he speak English from now on since he's in NYC??
He'll only communicate in Japanese with his sidekick Ando, and broken English with the others.
And Hiro's accent isn't too bad, I think Ando's is harsher.
-
well Ando's case is so because he's trying to mimic the sound/intonation... after all he doesn't know anything about the language... but kudos to him for trying!
-
And Hiro's accent isn't too bad, I think Ando's is harsher.
Harsher?? The wife didn't understand anything of what he said..
My wife thought both these actors were Chinese since their Japanese was so bad, and was surprised to find out Hiro was actually Japanese.
But he did leave Japan when he was 6, which would explain why it's pretty bad.

I heard last night that Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar are signing on for season 2 meaning that Nathan somehow escaped or will appear in flashbacks or like Charles did in the last episode.. could it be another of Peter's powers, communicating with the dead?
I also heard that Parkman and DL's futures were still up in the air.

Remember guys this is made for a American audience who are most likely too ignorant to know any Japanese words besides sushi, so why would the creators care about authentic Japanese.

Wait until you get up to where George Takei's character comes in, his Japanese sounds even worse. Although that might just be because I couldn't stop myself form picturing him in his Star Trek uniform while he was saying his lines.
-
great ending, but too bad sylar had everyone against him at that specific moment. Yay , he escaped! But no one saw him escape ??
i hope to see molly and Mika as teenagers in the next season!
-
so,,,when the next season started? I'm just curious what will happen to hiro,,,
-

Next season starts maybe in September? But there is going to be a short spin-off in between called Heroes: Origins thats going to run for six episodes with the chance for viewers to vote one of the characters to be in the second season of Heroes.
-

They wouldn't, and their Japanese really wasn't that bad. They do it on Japanese tv shows too, every time they have a character speaking English on a Japanese show it's always really bad.
-
Finally finished watch it and i like the ending,i thought nathan really gotta escape but he return,oh the brotherly love.
Kinda strange way to start the second volume,definitely looking forward second season! I hope Ando appears at season 2 even if he dont have special ability.

I'm pretty sure Ando will make at least an appearance seeing as how he's still got Hiro's sword and all. :)

i loved the ending, i'm just glad they kept hiro around for next season.

An article in my local paper:
Miss Universe auditions for role in sci-fi T series
Less than a month after being crowned Miss Universe, Riyo Mori is hoping to land another job- a role on the NBC sci-fi series Heroes. "As soon as I won Miss Universe I had this big chance," Mori said in an interview Monday. "I've never acted before. I went to the casting audition and read a script in English and Japanese, and they said it was really good. So I hope I can be in the show."
Mori said the role of Yaeko would be a love interest for one of the main charaters on Heroes.
The 20-year-old dancer won the 2007 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City last month. The only other time Japan has won the pageant was in 1959, when Akiko Kojima became the first Miss Universe from Asia.

aww man. no offense to miss universe, but i thought they wuda picked someone hotter

-
haha it wud be funny if they hooked him up with claire, but i think that's illegal. I heard a rumor that it mite be miss universe, but she looks to tall for hiro
-
yes it comes back on September 24th i have a timer on my myspace page hehe
-
yes it comes back on September 24th i have a timer on my myspace page hehe
That's second season though, right?
But don't forget the six-episode spin-off that will happen before that.
-
no according to some of the podcasts i listen to there wont be a spinoff till the haitus of the second season
-
I can finally talk about this show here! I purposely avoided the topic like grim death, in order to save myself from being spoiled, but they just aired the finale last night!
I liked the finale a lot. May have dragged in some places, but at least everything was all tied together whilst leaving further storylines open. Peter couldn't fly himself cause we've only ever seen him use one power, never a combination of say invisibility and flight. Although I remember in the Five Years Later episode he was invisible and used telekenisis to make a glass come to him, but you can always say he's had five years training. Foreign language is always a problem when it comes to Western shows. In Lost for example, Jin and Sun speak Korean either on the island, or mostly all the time in flashbacks, yet the actor who plays Jin, is known to have been mocked by Korean fans for his poor pronounciation. I don't speak a word of Korean, so I wouldn't know. But also with a flashback of Sayid in Iraq, everyone was speaking perfect English!
As a whole, Heroes is a great show, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, with some episodes being right up there as TV genius (the character focused episode of Mr.Bennet for example). Sylar's still alive (yay) and the promise of an even worse 'boogey-man' is always intriguing. As for Hiro in the 1600's, do you think this could mean that: Hiro could actually be Kensei, Hiro's Japanese sword-wielding hero? :lol:
EDIT
Well there goes my theory! (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=21150) Eriko Tamura eh? Possible love interest for Hiro?
-
Not reading any spoilers until the season starts again. If Miss Universe does join Heros that maybe she and Hiro could get together LOL. I think Miss Japan last year was prettier than her but oh well. At least she didn't fall like Miss America
-
I'm glad it's finally airing on terrestrial TV over here now. I can talk to non-geeks (people who haven't already gone out of their way to watch it) about it.
-
Ahh yes I did like this season very much. Dieing for the next one though. Hiro being my favourite character (for obvious reasons). Was interesting how Hiro went back so far after been knocked away from sylar. I just hope season 2 will be just as good if not better.
I didn't really like sylar through the start but I liked him more as the shown went on. He made me laugh right at the end. I was expecting Peter to be able to control the power at the end but then the show changed lots of my suspicions.
Overall would have to be my favourite english drama show.

12 more days, y'all, and Heroes starts up with season 2. :rockon:

i've been waitin all summer for this

I have to wait longer than you guys for the second season to show here in the UK :(
IGN has posted 7 videos from the series, and from what I'd expect, the first episode (http://uk.media.tv.ign.com/media/827/827560/vids_1.html)
Some spoilers so you might want to steer clear.
In Heroes related news, seems like Hayden Panettiere may not be as sweet as you think:

I think she still rocks :thumbsup

Heroes season 2 premiere's tonight. :rockon:

An alright premiere, I'm confused over what the hell happened to Nathan/Peter.
Oh, and Mr. Bennet still kicks ass.

yay new characters with new powers!(aside from the boy)
that man with $$ power was the best!

Hiro's got something of a dilemma in next weeks ep, and guess who didn't bite the big one. ;)

I love the second season so far. But I can't understand why Peter would want to hang out with those crooks or put up with them in the first place. All that Irish guy did was hit him.. then suddenly they're like brothers.. peh.
-
spoilers!
Monica can learn off the TV! She did the fucking 619!!!!! Rey Mysterio Jr.! Thats awesome! That's like in the Matrix where you can learn anything by downloading it in seconds!
Parkman's DAD! What's funny, I have this game called Condemned on the 360, and Parkman (the actor guy) is the voice actor for the main character who, is also a cop and has powers! =D
Sylar is soo good! =D I'm glad they kept him alive.
Dang, Heroes is sooo not gonna get the sophomore curse
-
I think that girl Monica can learn anything she sees done at least once.
And there's that other guy who can fly, Claire's new bf.
Wonder whats up with Sylar, and how he lost all those other powers he stole.
-
woohoo new characters are cool so far, except for West. Couldnt they think of another power for him?
I hope hiro stays in Medieval Japan like Peter stays in Ireland, so that the story can focus more on new characters. Both people were my less favorites anyway..wuahaha
damn parkman acting like a pathetic baby/ He should have listened to suresh/
cant wait for next week!
-
Dammit I just learned the new season started and NBC won't let me watch the older episodes since I'm not in the US. Where's a good place for the torrent for Eps. 1-now? I'm too lazy to look. OK torrenting porn instead.

Heroes S2E5
http://www.twitter.com/?d=HFL5AHP0
*credit to Got Heroes*
I just got hooked on Heroes and I fucking loved the first season. So well written and some of the plot twists were truly :shocked: Anyways the beginning of the 2nd season has been a bit disappointing. I'm not a big fan of the "Peter in Ireland" storyline and the new heroes have been kinda boring so far. Good thing they added Kristen Bell (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=2446.0) to the cast to spice up the things. Monica will probably become interesting as soon as she watches a few more kung fu flicks.
I'm afraid that they are gonna add too many new characters and that the old heroes get shafted. For example Niki ain't done shit so far, which really sucks since she just learned how to control her power. However I'm not really worried about the 2nd season cause they are still setting up the story arcs and I enjoyed the last two episodes (not fucking with Season 1 tho). Things will get even more interesting when Sylar gets his powers back......
Hiro in feudal Japan is pretty cool and there has been some visually amazing scenes but I hate it how they didn't show Kensei fighting against the angry ronins. However I hope that Hiro doesn't spend the whole season in Japan cause I wanna see him interacting with the other heroes.
I just watched the 5th episode and it's probably the best episode so far (even without Claire and Sylar). Parkman's dad has got one of the craziest powers in the show and I sure hope he doesn't get killed anytime soon. That whole nightmare scene with Matt and Nathan was sick as hell! Makes me wonder if Matt will become as powerful one day and how the other heroes will evolve. I hope Peter gets out of Ireland as soon as possible cause that storyline has been boring so far. Elle's appearance has been the most interesting thing so far but she didn't even meet Peter (at least not yet). I'm not really feeling the New Orleans storyline but I gotta admit that Monica's future could be interesting. But like I said, she needs to watch a few more kung fu flicks. Oh yeah, Mohinder is a moron and he will be so fucking lost if Claire's dad gets killed like the painting predicts.
:thumbsup to adding Kristen Bell to the cast, she was cool in the latest episode. I hope she sticks around for the rest of the season.
Shiiiet, I almost forgot. Y'all guys better check out the epic Hayden Panettiere (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=13291.0) thread :pimp:

And yeah, Mohinder is still an idiot.

^I totally second this post
guess Kristen is Golden guy's daughter ?

Hiro needs to get some balls and kick the the other guy's ass to the curb, he's the real hero! Obviously he's not geek enough to figure out that maybe HE IS the real Kenseii!

Not sure what to think about the "twist", it's like season one all over again, just without the bomb and with more casualties. And the new character, Adam Monroe, same Adam that left a note for Peter, I guess? The current cast barely gets any screen time, enough with the new ones.
And yeah, Claire's storyline still sucks.

Heroes creator keeping head high (TV.com)
Tim Kring not bugged about criticisms of hit NBC show, says episodes seven to 11 are "best episodes we've ever done." Heroes has been on the tips of television-viewers' tongues a lot this year, but not for the same reason as last season. The superhero show was a breakout hit last year, but this season it has been the target of critics who cite disjointed storylines, too many characters, and a lack of direction for disappointing fans. Viewers have also tuned out; last week's episode rang in the worst numbers in the key 18-49 demographic ever for the series, according to Nielsen Media Research. But there's one man who isn't fazed and thinks fans shouldn't be worried either: series creator Tim Kring.
Speaking with The Los Angeles Times, Kring dismissed the numbers much like many other television executives have: DVRs, online episodes, the Internet. What's more, ratings drops are taking their toll on almost all shows, not just Heroes. As for the rest of the criticism, Kring is promising that it will all make sense. "It will all be paid off by episode 11," Kring said. "From seven to 11 are the best episodes we've ever done." The Heroes crew has always said that this current season would be split up into "volumes," with the current one, titled "Generations," concluding midseason.
"One of the things that we found is that, by the end of the (first) year, we were dragging a tremendous amount of story behind us that had to be paid off in that final episode," Kring said during a conference call, according to Salt Lake City's Deseret News, "which made for an episode that the (audience) expectations are so high that it's hard to meet everybody's expectation."
But that didn't stop the writers from adding several new characters in the offseason, and the result is too much story to pack into one hour of television per week to satisfy everyone. "Part of what happens on any show is that you enter a relationship with your viewers where you teach them how to watch your show and they teach you what they seem to be responding to," Kring said, reports the Deseret News. "And we, I think, are in this process right now of teaching the audience how to get used to the idea that not everybody is going to be in every single episode."
Some think that Heroes is just undergoing a sophomore slump. However, Kring may be thinking that viewers are looking at season two a bit too harshly by elevating season one unrealistically. "People tend to look at last season and see things in it that were not in it. We haven't deviated that much [from last season's formula]."

Heroes: Origins Canceled
Fears of a writers strike may have already contributed to a decision NBC made Wednesday to pull the highly anticipated spinoff miniseries of its hit "Heroes" from a midseason launch.
NBC declined comment, but "Heroes: Origins" is not going to get its six-episode run, which was expected to start as early as late April. While the network hasn't officially canceled the spinoff, producers of the series have been given no indication of when it might get a spot on the schedule. Sources indicated "Origins" may be just the first of many projects lined up at the broadcast networks in 2008 that will get downgraded as a result of the potential strike, which could severely affect the TV industry. Budget allocations made months ago for a range of scripted programs, many of which will not be feasible without sidelined writers, will likely be reconsidered and potentially shifted to strike-proof material like reality and news programs.
"Origins" had been highly touted as a midseason addition since NBC's upfront in May, when then-entertainment president Kevin Reilly envisioned spelling "Heroes" when it took a late-season hiatus. The network had been promoting "Origins" well in advance of its premiere, noting the enlistment of such top directors as Kevin Smith and Eli Roth to write and direct select episodes.
However, it is also possible that NBC, now under the creative direction of Ben Silverman, may have seen its enthusiasm diminish for an expansion of the "Heroes" franchise given a pronounced ratings drop-off in recent weeks for the flagship series. It is unclear at what stage "Origins" was in the preproduction process, though it is unlikely scripts had been completed. In other NBC news, unscripted series "The Singing Bee" has been yanked from the schedule for the upcoming November sweeps period in favor of expanded two-hour installments of "The Biggest Loser."
:banghead:
Not sure what to think about the "twist", it's like season one all over again, just without the bomb and with more casualties.
At first I was like "What? Again?!" but since this is only the 2nd season of the show, I don't really mind having another epic threat. However I hope that the 3rd season has a bit smaller threat cause saving the entire world every season will get old really fast. Too bad the writers will most likely come up with another threat that threatens to wipe out the whole mankind :P

Not posting here to discuss Season 2, not showing over here in the UK yet, but I thought I could maybe drop this in here. Wendy and Lisa (from Prince's band in the 80's, the Revolution) score the music for Heroes! (http://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN0163978420071102) :w00t: Funny how everything I like seems to swing back to Prince in some way :D

Just begain watching the Season One DVDs after hearing the raves from my friends today. Just finished the first two eps and I am very captivated. I don't watch much American network television but this material makes me think of returning to the fold. Sucks that the Powers That Be aren't in synch with the members of the Writers Guild.
-
I SERIOUSLY hope the writers come up with a compromise with the producers soon because I want eps 12-13 of Heroes. This "Generations" arc isn't very good. :(
-
Damn... stayed up until past TWO A.M. plowing through about half of the first season box set. Remind me not to do stuff like this the night before a work week begins.
-
Wooooo, episode 7 showed early here in Canada! They said that episodes 7-11 were the best eps in the first season, and it looks like its following in season 2! Everything is starting to piece together, and stories are getting more interesting to watch.
Adam Monroe! Well, i read other people's comments on him and who he is, and they were right! But it was still kinda a shocker to me when I saw him.
Here's something interesting, Adrian Pasdar has a youtube account. He uploads really really random videos of the heroes actors between scenes.

Heroes' Creator Apologizes to Fans
Tim Kring admits mistakes were made at the beginning of season 2, but promises to get back on track
On the chilly Monday morning that Hollywood's writers went on strike, Heroes creator Tim Kring called from the streets outside the Hollywood studio where his NBC series is shot. ''Yes, I'm picketing my own show,'' says the 50-year-old writer-producer. ''So surreal.'' But Kring wasn't calling to discuss labor woes — he was calling to explain why Heroes, suffering a creative decline and a 15 percent ratings drop from the same period last year, went from Human Torch hot to Iceman cold. The good news? A turnaround appears to be under way. After weeks of sluggish storytelling, the Nov. 5 episode recaptured some of last season's fanciful energy. We've also seen the next two episodes — and we like them, too. The cliff-hangers are back. Narrative purpose has been discovered. Old favorites like Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and Horn-Rimmed Glasses (Jack Coleman) take center stage. Even more encouraging: Kring himself is keenly aware that Heroes is broken. Here's his candid critique:
THE PACE IS TOO SLOW ''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''
THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER The premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter's vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ''We took too long to get to the big-picture story,'' he says.
THE ROOKIES DIDN'T GREET THEMSELVES PROPERLY New Heroes Monica (Dana Davis), Maya (Dania Ramirez), and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) ''shouldn't have been introduced in separate story lines that felt unattached to the show. The way we introduced Elle (Kristen Bell) — by weaving her in via Peter's story line — is a more logical way to bring new characters into the show.'' (That said, Kring says a few newbies won't make it beyond this second volume, which wraps Dec. 3.)
HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG Hiro's (Masi Oka) time-bending adventure in 17th-century Japan — where he mentored samurai hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders) — finally came to an end on Nov. 5. But Kring says it ''should have [lasted] three episodes. We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.''
YOUNG LOVE STINKS Kring regrets sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ''I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''
Yet while Heroes has finally found some dramatic traction, this second volume is pretty much a wash. The Dec. 3 episode has been retooled to function as a potential season finale — a move inspired by the writers' strike and a desire to give the show ''a clean slate'' when it goes back into production for Volume 3. At that point, Kring wants to craft a rebooted Heroes that can attract new fans and win back those who've tuned out: ''The message is that we've heard the complaints — and we're doing something about it.''

Word. Great episode even though Parkman learned how to do that nightmare thing a bit too fast. He definitely shouldn't have been able to beat his dad so easily. One thing still hasn't changed: Mohinder is an idiot. The highlight of the episode was Peter leaving that irish bitch in the future :lol:
Adam's identity was long figured out, but it's good to have it confirmed.
I must be the only one who was surprised when Adam revealed himself :P

Alright the latest episode wasn't as epic as I expected but it wasn't bad either. I loved the Peter/Adam storyline and Kristen Bell was definitely the star of the episode. I sure wouldn't mind getting electrocuted by her..... :P
Too bad the other two stories weren't nearly as awesome. It's impossible to make Maya & Alejandro interesting and the Sanders family story was even worse. The way they killed off D.L. was lame as fuck :banghead:

Heroes = the hottest show on TV :drool:
-
First off, Kristen Bell is FUCKING HOT.
Second, Masa already read my thoughts. :P DL saw a punch to the face coming, but not a bullet?
And lastly, Kristen Bell is FUCKING HOT.
-
^ I've never even heard nor seen her before this show, and as for "FUCKING HOT", I think not... Not even close..
-
You're no fun. :lol:
To be honest, I had absolutely no interest in her before this episode.
-
this episode was alright.... Sure, some questions were answered, but I didn't really care for some of them.
DL dying by a bullet was ghei. He saw the punch, and he even survived a Sniper Bullet out of nowhere last season. Dude has lightning quick reflexes. But to doe this way? bleh.
And how come Adam isn't in the Company picture?
Kristen Bell is alright. I thought that Maya chick was hot during the wedding scene. Too bad all she does now is cry
-
Besides Kristen, this show needs more Missy Peregrym:

Sorry to disappoint you, but her character died already =(
-
^ Seeing they are re-hassing things including back/forth to the future/past who knows :)
-
^ Can't remember if she dies or not (also don't save the shows, so can't check), but according to the official NBC page..
Niki finally finds a way to use Jessica's superstrength and knock Candice out cold.
Doesn't sound "dead" to me..
-
That was season 1. They whacked her in season 2.
-
^ ah...stupid IMDB only listed her as being in 6 episodes, but she was in 7..
(her character had 7 IMDB entries though.... someone needs to update that shit!!!!!)
-
Looks like she is now in 'Reaper', time to check that out...

I watched about 15 minutes of ep 1 of that and then gave up. Was curious because of the Kevin Smith connection, but just couldn't get into the show. Vaguely reminded me of the show Dead Like Me, except not interesting.

I have seen the preview and also thought it wouldn't be anything, but I'll give it one more shot with ep8. Dead like me was interesting for its concept and novel start, getting hit by a toilet form space?? :)
-
Chapter 9, its gonna be done in about 5 mins from now. Another dope episode, again without Sylar! Parkman is like a fucking Jedi Master.
edit: Just watched the last 5 mins!! Dang! This show is awesome! I don't wanna spoil it for you all until Masa has his episode review =P but wow, thats how they kept that character alive!
Only 2 more episodes until volume 1 is done! They showed next week's preview. Hiro versus Hero ;)

The best episode of the season so far and it didn't even have Sylar! HRG's death scene is already one of my favorite scenes and I'm happy that they finally made Claire relevant. However HRG's revival happened a bit too fast, they could have saved it for the next episode or something. Anyways I wonder who brought HRG back to life and most importantly why. I doubt it's Adam cause he probably doesn't even know HRG. Mohinder is too stupid and he probably wouldn't be able to do something like that behind Bob's back. I doubt that Bob would bring his enemy back although he did say that HRG is "loyal to the end". It could also be Elle, who seems to be having second thoughts about Bob & The Company. But then again would she really betray her dad just because HRG revealed what The Company did to her? Besides the next episode seems to have an epic Elle vs. Claire showdown....
At first it was cool that Parkman's powers are evolving but dude's becoming too powerful, too fast. His transition from a useless cop to a jedi took like two episodes. At this rate he's gonna become a fucking god during the 3rd season. Now that he's a jedi, I hope he turns to the darkside in the future :P
Oh yeah, the episode also had a fair amount of fanservice. Elle in bikini & Claire as a cheerleader :drool:

Actually the IMDB entry is correct. Her character was played by another actress in the episode where they killed her off.
anyone read the graphic novels?
Not yet, even though I did download them. I'm just too damn lazy to start reading :lol:
how could mohinder betray noah, i think he's one of the good guys
Cause Mohinder is still an idiot :P
-
Claire is one whiny bitch, "omg i hate u dad!". Did she totally forget about the bullet he took for her? :lol: Oh, and for once West didn't go on my nerves. After seeing the preview, I'm kind of bugged about the urn that Claire is holding... Whose ashes is that? O:
Also, Mohinder is forever the idiot of Heroes.
-
i can see parkman turning evil. The Petrelli mom already she he's like his dad. He is already abusing his powers =)
And what's momma petrelli's power? I dislike her.
-
No comments about the latest episode? :lol:
Lots of useless crap I'd rather leave out. Quite a cliffhanger, though.
I hope they don't kill off Hiro.
-
Claire punching the car window. Hott.
Sylar killing the brother, then making out with Maya. Awesome
They keep switching villains back and forth btw the Company and Adam. Meh.
Peter is reminding me of Mohinder. Idiot.
Peter vs Hiro, settling with violence. Its the way the world works =)
I don't like how they don't show people's powers, like Victoria, or the mom Petrelli.
Monica got caught. Haha. Well, she can kick ass, but i would be scared too if there was guns pointed on me.
-
I do hope that one or more of the main characters will 'leave' the show, making room for new characters.
And i think mom petrelli has some power with her voice, making people remember forgotten stuff, just like peter.
as for that women who dies quickly, she may be super smart for making that deadly virus?
-
No comments about the latest episode? :lol:
Lots of useless crap I'd rather leave out. Quite a cliffhanger, though.
Honestly, the episode made me stop caring. This season has gone from me really liking the show after season one to not carryting about what happens to almost any of the characters. I do for some reason like watchig Claire interact with Kristen Bell, but that's more out of Veronica Mars love than anything else I think. If there was more than one episode left I'd probably just stop watching, but since it's just the one I'll watch the last episode. It's just kind of sad that I've gone from LoveLoveLove~ to "meh, might as well."
-
I agree soveryshiny. I really liked the first season but this season has been very disappointing, badly written and based upon too many marvel comics storylines (Legacy Virus) and characters like taskmaster, and shadow king (screw you Jeph Loeb) I am happy that there is only one episode left. The producers need to figure out what they want to do with the show and the characters instead of throwing things at the wall to see if it sticks.
They need to get rid of characters and toughen up others because there is too much whining and not enough great characters or truly evil ones on the show. Sylar and Adam bore me. Sylar has no real motivation besides " I want to be special" and mmmm brains good. Linderman was a better character then adam and sylar and having a great actor like Malcolm Mcdowell helped alot.
-
end of volume 2.
Ending was predictable.
Sylar is "back"
-

Agreed. They got some fixin' to do next year.

CAAAAAARPP!!
-
The next volume might be worse then this one. This was just another bad episode in a bad season. They need new writers and a fecking clue. Did the producers have any damn idea of how they were going to produce this show? I don't think they did.
-
What's frustrating for me (and I am a late bandwagon fan) is that there are pockets of greatness in every 2nd season episode I've seen. But those moments were overshadowed by predictable elements that were probably a result of its own success.
I AM somewhat reassured that Kring was made aware of the series' shortcomings and will get to work on it in the next season. Somewhat...
-
Dissapointing final battles for the season. Come on Hiro and Peter's and Hiro and Adam's fight should have been somewhat epic, but they sucked. I don't like the conclusion of the finale in any way. It could have been a lot better.
-
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3343/daniabr8.jpg)
Alright the season finale wasn't as epic as I expected it to be but it wasn't that bad. My favorite moment was definitely Hiro owning Adam, that shit was ruthless as fuck! I was happy to see Niki dying cause she was completely useless this season. Too bad they didn't kill off her whole family. The whole New Orleans storyline was wack and pointless from the very beginning till the end. Claire's miracle blood is starting to piss me off. Deaths don't mean shit anymore cause people can be brought back. I didn't even care about Nathan getting shot cause they will probably bring him back in the next episode. I sure hope that we won't get more fake deaths during the next season cause that crap is ruining the series.
Overall the season was really average, despite some good moments. The first half of the season was slow as hell and the second half felt rushed. Most of the newbies were boring and they got way too much screentime. Most of the storylines were crappy: Peter's adventures in Ireland were boring, Claire's romance with West was the corniest thing ever, Sylar & The Twins was a waste of time and everything related to Niki & New Orleans made me cringe in pain. The villains were average: Sylar was MIA for most of the season, Adam ain't threatening at all and Parkman's dad got owned way too fast. Basically if Peter wasn't as dumb as a rock, Adam wouldn't have been shit. The Company fell off big time during the 2nd season. At first it was cool that they introduced Elle and Bob but damn, is that all they got? An organization that seems to consist of two people sure is threatening :roll:
Despite all the shortcomings, I gotta admit that there were some great moments and one truly great episode (Cautionary Tales). Nathan & Matt Parkman confronting Maury Parkman was classic and so was HRG's death scene. Elle ended up being my favorite newbie and Hiro and especially HRG were the best veterans. Hiro is finally becoming a man and HRG is one of the most gangsta characters on TV right now. I still have high hopes for the next season because Tim Kring seems to acknowledge the flaws of the second season and I doubt he will do the same mistakes twice.
Exclusive: Tim Kring Explains Heroes' "Generations" Finale
Will Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) die by an assassin's bullet? Was Niki (Ali Larter) truly blown to hot, blonde, gorgeous bits? Will Adam (David Anders) spend eternity six feet under? And — say it ain't so! — does badass Elle (Kristen Bell) really have an inner Girl Scout? The Dec. 3 episode of Heroes, the conclusion of the show's second volume "Generations," left us with lots of big questions. Creator and executive producer Tim Kring has the answers. And, whaddya know, he's even sharing some of them!
The fate of Nathan, who was shot during a TV press conference, and of Niki, who may have died in an abandoned building explosion, are "up in the air and will be determined when we come back after the strike," Kring says. "Things are fairly dire for them both." Immortal Adam was teleported by Hiro (Masi Oka) into a coffin buried in the same Japanese cemetery where his father Kaito (George Takei), who was slain by Adam, is also buried. "It's poetic justice to have Adam end up in the same graveyard as Kaito," Kring notes. "We've given the audience no reason to believe that Adam can figure a way to get out of there. The fact that he can live forever makes this the most gruesome of internments. If this happened to any of us, at least we'd know we'd soon have the mercy of death. Not here."
Witchy, bitchy Elle, who wound up saving the lives of Mohinder (Sendhil Ramamurthy), Maya (Dania Ramirez) and little Molly (Adair Tishler), clearly sparked when Mohinder called her a hero. "Kristen Bell gave us the perfect reaction in that scene," Kring says. "For a moment there, Elle sees she's been given an opportunity to use her powers in a good way. And she absolutely likes the sound of that word 'hero.'" Not to worry. There are plenty more baddies coming after the writers' strike concludes. In fact, the title of Volume 3 — "Villains" — says it all.
"We've introduced a cadre of them over the course of the show and we're going to see them rise up," Kring says. "Just as the heroes have found each other to save the world, the villains will do the same with the opposite intent." And their numbers may be legion. "The Company has catalogued many of these people over the years. There may be more of them down in that basement than we have alluded to so far."
Will Sylar (Zachary Quinto) be their ringleader? After being electro-zapped by Elle, Mister Eyebrows escaped to a back alley and skeevily injected himself with Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) blood. Then, in a wicked salute to Popeye, he telekinetically grabbed a can of spinach and said, "I'm back!"
"Sylar getting his power back does not bode well for our heroes," says Kring, who admits there is one upside to the writers' strike: Originally, Quinto was not going to be available for much of Volume 3 because of his commitment to the new Star Trek film. Now, with the strike dragging on, he'll likely be done playing young Spock by the time Heroes returns to production.

I was happy to see Niki dying cause she was completely useless this season. Too bad they didn't kill off her whole family.
No way, not when there's a chance that Micah will go all emo and snap at the world. :lol: He's a damn Cyber God!
-
I think the only thing I liked about this 2nd volume was KBell.
Thank god they didn't kill her off.
-
No big final battle = fail :(
still hoping for an improvement for volume 3 though.
Only thing that's cool was Hiro Putting adam in that coffin. that's real cold-blooded!

this seasoned failed for sure, towards the end it got interesting, but the season finale was anticlimatic. i blame the writers strike, but i dunno either from the way things look now, i can just see season 3 being a repeat of season 1. :( they really need a new villain i'm tired of sylar, although he's badass. they can't keep killing him off and bringing him back each season.
-
^ well Tim Kring has promised to bring more villain in season 3 so we'll see..
If season 3 is even as good as season 1, then I'll be happy
-
I hope Kristen Bell will still be around for the whole volume 3. :heart:
I wonder why Hiro not stab Adam's brain or something instead of putting him in a coffin, because that's just... so much cruel-er than killing Adam. :lol:
And I was so hoping someone will kill Mohinder because he is such a whiny boy in this season. And Parkmeat should get Sylar'd before Peter gets to absorb his new mind power. Hopes Niki stays dead and not get revived by some Miracle blood, Jessica was fine, Gina is a no-no.
I'm kind of not thrilled hearing Sylar will return as the main villain, the same villain can be boring.
-
I wonder why Hiro not stab Adam's brain or something instead of putting him in a coffin, because that's just... so much cruel-er than killing Adam. :lol:
that's the whole point! that's wayyy more satisfying than just killing the guy :twisted:
after all adam did kill Hiro's dad..

That's exactly what I was thinking. This way, considering Adam will live likely forever he has a lifetime to struggle trying to get out.

Make em suffer rather than killing em, that's my method too!

Some comments from me about the spoiler... XD
How reliable the spoilers are actually? :D
1) Ali Larter will return to the show (as Kristin at E!Online has already reported) but are planning to wrap up her storyline up in Volume 3. (editor’s note: Also, there are rumors floating around that Ali Larter’s evil alter ego Jessica will be a part of the Volume and not Niki.)
Gawd, how in explosion she will be able to survive?
I'm all for Jessica though, I hate Gina and can't stand whiny Niki.
2) Micah’s storyline will end also
Why?! :( How about Monica then?
3) David Anders (Adam) will return and will meet a new friend
No way, I am hoping he will suffer in that coffin for eternity. No Kring, you now have disappointed me. :(
4) Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) well thats it up to the fans and he “might be back so don’t worry.”
Hope he stays dead, because there are too much fanservice of Nathan/Peter in volume 2. XD
Anyone thought HRG is the one who shot him on behalf of the company?
5) Zachary Quinto (Sylar) will be more bad ass then ever and when we come back he will kill a star on the show
I hope it'll be Officer Porkmeat or Maya. Or Mohinder. Or West. Or Bob.
--
By the way, now that Peter gets too overpowered, I'm kind of hoping he'll get murdered by a sniper aiming for his brain. XD

Volume Three "Villains" trailer

Bought the latest issue of "sabra" today, and it came with a special "HEROES" DVD which contains the first episode, interviews and CMs...
Can't help but wonder how the Japanese market will take to it...
And hey, remember when I said Hiro's Japanese was crap, well they have dubbed him into proper Japanese.. :lol:
-
I don't believe the creators and writers can make heroes better. After seeing the new preview, thinking about how much I disliked the last season and feeling like Loeb has no idea about how to write stories and create characters that are not from comic books. I have decided to not watch heroes when it comes back unless I hear that the show has stopped sucking.
-
I'm finally able to watch the last series of eps.
-
NBC announced that it won't be back until the fall. Hayden confirms that here http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35569

Not reading the past comments as the first 4 episodes of Season 2 have aired here in the UK so trying to avoid any past discussion. It's good so far, don't dislike Hiro's story as much as others did, and yes it is rather slow paced, but then so was Season 1 in the beginning. But there is one thing that's particularly grating.
The 'o-irish' accents. God, they're sooo bad. I'm surprised they haven't thrown in some leprechauns into the mix somewhere. Although it's still early days...

Heroes Season 3 Trailer
http://uk.media.tv.ign.com/media/827/827560/vids_1.html
Milo Ventimiglia has revealed that an evil force "worse than Sylar" will emerge in the next season of Heroes.
"I think everybody is confronting something worse than Sylar," the Peter Petrelli actor told E! Online. "It's something that is going to strike a chord and be close to Peter."
Ventimiglia refused to elaborate on pecific details, but stated that the new villain is "a threat to everybody... a threat to everything. I'm not going to say it's four horsemen or one horseman, but there's gonna be a power that comes in that everybody has to kind of band together to make sure it doesn't run wild".
Heroes Webisode : Going Postal
Episode 1 (http://spoilertv-heroes.blogspot.com/2008/07/webisode-going-postal.html)
Episode 2 (http://spoilertv-heroes.blogspot.com/2008/07/webisode-part-two-house-guest.html)
*WEBISODE SPOILER*
Is anyone else a bit disappointed in the webisodes? Having a guy that can super power screaming is pretty cool but this villan, the Constrictor, is quite lame and to me, a bit comical. If the company knows what Echo can do (a black character on a sci-fi drama called Echo/Eko, where have I heard that before? :D) why send in a lackey with no powers and a villan who can't do much about it. And in episode 2, why go in there unprotected and threaten his girl without even some, I dunno, earplugs? If I was that constrictor guy I would have tightened up the guys throat and mouth but hey, what do I know?

Season 3 kicking off in an hour and a half. :rockon:
-
interesting premiere... I spent a bit of it trying to remember what happened last season. :lol:
Looks like lots of crazy shit is about to go down.
And might I add, the ladies are even hotter than they were last season. :P
-
I am giving up on the show. The writing is horrible, and the plot holes are huge. How many ways can Hiro screw up, Jeph Loeb ripoff comic book stories, and the special effects look bad? It looks like the show will be Days of Future Past, secondary mutations, breakout at Arkham Asylum, Xmen and the copying of tons of other comic book stories this season.
-
Spoilers?
i like it. First episode was better than all of season 2. Its more like comic books now. More action packed. They don't drag it out either. Right at the beginning, BAM! They show who shot Nathan. It doesn't feel like filler stories anymore, everyone has a main story.
I thought the special effects were cool. Like when Hiro "Stopped Time", and you saw the speed trails from the fast running chick. I kinda don't like the girl tho. Or when Nikki/Tracy or whoever froze that reporter guy. Its like SubZero!
Hiro, i wanna know when he turns into future Hiro. Well, i guess its soon since he traveled into the future and saw himself get electro-hadoukened by Ando, which was unexpected and cool. He's always been like this since season 1, and never knew how to use his powers right.
Mohinder got pimp powers =P
-
Both episodes were pretty entertaining even though they were filled with all kinds of retarded shit. Anyways I think I'm gonna keep following the show no matter how stupid it gets XD
:thumbsup
+ Sylar is still badass
+ Sylar vs. Claire was intense as fuck! Definitely one of my favorite Heroes scenes ever :yep:
+ Future-Claire was fucking smokin' :drool:
+ Future-Peter is way more badass than Peter.
+ Interaction between Hiro & Ando :lol:
+ Claire finally realizing how lame her power is. She better start training some martial arts shit or else she will stay useless.
+ Kristen, Hayden & Dania were all looking as hot as ever :drool:

- Nathan surviving and finding God
- Linderman's ghost

Thanks for the details/spoilers/plot summaries. Maybe I'll watch 'em all later if/when things get more interesting...

By the end of last season I was ready to give up. Still won't take much for me to quit. But Ill hang in for bit.
That flimsy louvered closet door wouldn't have withstood my superpowers to get to hayden panettiere. :-)

Finally got to watch the new episodes.
Both were kind of shitty, but there's nothing better to watch so I'll keep following this. :lol:
-
^ Eureka, NCIS, Flashpoint, Terminator the sara connor chronicles, Stargate Atlantis
maybe: CSI (Miami, New york), Smallville, True Blood, Numb3rs

Epic failure! The latest episode is as bad as the worst episodes of Season 2. The first two episodes were entertaining despite being stupid but the latest episode is straight up booooooring....
:thumbsup
- Hayden is still smokin' hot :drool:
- "FBI-agent" Sylar :lol:
- No Spider-Mohinder
:thumbdown:
- Tracy's storyline
- Hiro's storyline & his nemesis. Hiro's stupidity is making me wish that the apocalypse really happens this season.
- The lamest villains ever! Two of them got already killed and one was captured. What the hell happened to "12 Sylars"? Apparently it takes one Sylar to stop all these lame ass wannabe bad guys :doh:
- Parkman's spirit walk
- Bennet family drama
- Milo's acting

Ouch! Jeez, I thought the people in charge learned their lesson regarding Season Two's shortcomings.
Anyway, thanks for the episode reviews. Saves me the trouble of leeching and watching and being let down. But lemme know if K. Bell shows up in something skimpy...
-
I know Heroes wasn't the most original series to start off with, but there's major storylines happening from the opening two episodes I watched last night that were downright carbon copies from other TV or film. For example, Nathan/Linderman's 'is he there?' relationship = Baltar/Six from BSG. And Mohinder's story is almost as if they remade The Fly by David Cronenberg (and knowing Hollywood's love of remakes, it's probably already in the works as well. Great movie btw). Don't be surprised if later in the season, as Mohinder continues to degenerate, Maya announces she is preggers and begins to wonder how the baby will turn out.
Other than that though, a decent opening. Will have to watch the whole Season to pass judgement obviously, but it's entertaining, not so much enthralling. Also, you heard it here first from me, I think in that confrontation between Hiro and Ando, Ando was the 'hero' and Hiro the 'villain'.
-
Sylar was the only thing I enjoyed the last episode... I'm personally not that attracted to Hayden, so the lack of Elle and Maya in the episode was a big letdown. I'm beginning to question if I want to even continue watching. I really just want to see what Sylar does next.
-
Yeah season 3 is like all over the place!
I wish the story would just focus on one thing instead of a million different things, trying to connect them all at the end.
And the whole story of Hiro is just so flawed, the guy can travel into the future but he can't stop a girl from taking one half of that formula thing? WTF? have the writers forgotten what he's capable of? He's like pretty much able to do whatever he wants with his ability.

Masi Oka talks Heroes Season Three
CBR: Last week, we saw Ando kill Hiro in a future flash-forward. Do you think they’ll get back to being friends soon, and are the writers making an effort to make all of the characters darker this season?
Masi Oka: I think so. I think the writers want to introduce a little bit of a different dynamic between Hiro and Ando, just to start things off. We will see them back to their regular selves, hopefully really soon. I think because it is the volume called “Villains,” we want to put in seeds of doubt in terms of every relationship we’ve had and shake up the status quo. I think that’s definitely an intentional part by the writers to put that in.
Is it possible that “present” Hiro misunderstood what he saw and that “future” Hiro is bad and “future” Ando is good?
I think it got edited down to be a little bit more ambiguous. Originally, it was going to be Ando actually on the evil side. Ando, Knox and Daphne vs. Peter, Clare and Hiro -- that was the original vision of it and we shortened it for time’s sake. The way it was edited, the fight between those two, “future” Hiro and “future” Ando got edited as well. The way it was explained to me was that Ando was like Lando Calrissian. There was a betrayal. I guess he got money for the formula or something. That was the back-story that was given to me. The way it was edited was left up to interpretation. When we were filming it, the intent was that. But of course this is a future that we are going to prevent from happening but you never know what is going to happen. It could be reversed.
“Volume Three: Villains” premiered at Comic-Con International to great reviews. But after it aired last week, some critics weren’t so kind. What do you attribute that to and how do you deal with fans’ disappointment with season two?
I don’t know? Every critic is different and people look for different things. What we premiered at Comic-Con is the exact same thing we aired on the broadcast. At Comic-Con, there was this great buzz and everyone loved it. I think after not seeing it for nine months they were so excited to see something great. I think the season three premiere was an answer to the feedback we received from the fans. They wanted more story, they wanted a faster pace, a lot more action and a lot more focus on the original characters. That’s what we focused on. The writers and the production staff, we all feel that we delivered based on what the fans wanted.
So I don’t know if the critics are bashing for the sake of bashing, maybe it’s just a continued feeling they have from season two. So I’m hoping that as the episodes progress, the show will go back to doing what made it great in season one. I think season three is headed towards having people seeing it as pure entertainment for the whole family again.
My reaction to season two, I think the writers made bold choices. There were a lot of expectations and the writers decided to go a different route than expected by the fans, to shake things up and make a bold choice. I don’t think the fans reacted the way the writers hoped for. And we make the show for the fans, that’s what’s really important to us. So we took that to heart. The back half of season two was back on pace to what we originally intended. Which is what made season one great with fast storytelling, and a lot of twists and turns. So season three is going back to what the fans wanted.
Are you happy with the season three scripts that you’ve seen so far and with the relationship between Hiro and Daphne?
Yeah, I’m very excited. We’re actually shooting episode twelve already, so we’ve gone pretty far. There are a lot of great shocks, twists and turns. The pacing is overall really fast and has a lot more action, so it’s a lot of fun. With Hiro and Daphne, you know Daphne is kind of like the quintessential nemesis for Hiro. As Batman gets his Joker, Hiro gets Daphne. It’s a joke I use all the time but I see them more like a Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner scenario, except she says more than meep, meep and doesn’t use as many Acme gadgets. Although you will see Hiro fall on his face a lot.
Do you like the direction the writers are taking Hiro in this season? And how open is the door to the Writers Room for you and the rest of the cast?
The writers are very collaborative. They’re very open to discussing characters and they let you know where you character is going. They’re very collaborative in that sense, very open to it. A lot of it also gets done in the editing as well. You think you shot something and when you actually see it on screen it looks a little different. As an actor, they’re constantly challenging me. Having to balance the drama and the grounded heavy stuff with the light stuff, as an actor I think it’s always challenging. As long as they keep on challenging me, it’s a great learning experience. For me, it’s difficult to find the consistency of course, because you need to drive the plot and move things forward. At the same time the character action gets compromised because of that. We are slaves to the plot. So if the plot dictates that we do something, sometimes we have to change what the characters do. For me, I’m watching the first two episodes and I’m like, Hiro you’re so stupid, why are you defying you Father’s orders and doing that? But we needed that for the plot, so it makes sense.
As Hiro goes on more adventures and experiences tragedy in his life, is it hard to strike the balance between the enthusiastic person we saw in the beginning of the series, and who Hiro is now, with out it seeming too forced or unnatural?
Oh, absolutely. I think there is an important balance to have and the writers are very conscience of that. That’s what makes Hiro great, his enthusiasm. One thing we know about Hiro is that he’s always going to be pure. No matter what it is he’s going to do, what he feels is right in terms of saving the world. So his naivete may have gone away because of all the tragedy he’s experienced, but his purity and his sense of morality will always stay the same. So that’s something we’ll see along with his childlike sensibility. There will always be some sense of wonderment. We’ll see him go to various locations and he’ll find some wonderful discover where ever he goes.
Also, the writers have actually come up with a very creative way of finding the rediscovering of the power and we’ll see that later on in the season. It’s definitely difficult to balance Hiro’s storyline. Hiro and Ando have always been the comic relief. We want to make sure that we have some of that entertainment and fun side, light side of saving the world to balance the dark tone of the rest of the storyline.
What type of challenges has this season offered you as an actor? Has there been more stunt work?
There’s definitely a lot more stunt work. It’s a lot of fun being put in a harness and walking in the air, I feel like Mary Poppins. It’s definitely fun. I think on these issues, also I try to engage where it is appropriate, in terms of putting in that humor. That’s where I rely on the directors and writers to kind of say, you know, that’s a little bit too much, that’s grounded but probably inappropriate here. Also, the level of English that Hiro has mastered because I don’t want him to be completely masterful of English. We want him to have room to grow, but at the same time, time has progressed. Hiro’s timeline is so out of whack. Hiro’s biological time hasn’t moved as far, even if he’s gone to feudal Japan and back, for him it’s still been three weeks or a month. Keeping that continuity is the difficult part.
What will happen the next time that Hiro meets Adam Monroe?
I think the promos have already given away that Adam Monroe will be coming back. So we know that he’ll be coming back. How? Why? Well that we don’t know yet. That one I probably can’t spill too much of. There will be a Hiro [vs.] Adam Monroe round three, that much I can say.
Will you be using your sword this season?
I haven’t used my sword yet. Hopefully there will be more opportunity to use it. As of now there is no swordplay.
Now that Sylar is working for Angela Petrelli and the Company, will we be seeing Hiro face-off with him any time soon?
They’ll be a lot of face-offs this season. Not just with Sylar but a lot of villains vs. heroes, heroes vs. heroes and villains vs. villains. Match-ups you don’t expect, you’ll definitely see.
What has Hiro’s sister been doing since we last saw her, will we be seeing Hiro’s Mother at any point and how important is the role of family in Hiro’s life?
Yes, family is always important to Hiro. There are so many things but the most important thing to Hiro is definitely his family, Ando’s friendship and of course being a hero and saving the world. That’s what his family has taught him. His father in particular, and his Mother taught him the values of being a good person, a good servant to civilization and sacrificing himself for the world. He dos not have his Father there to give him advice but fortunately we saw that advise come through a DVD (in the premiere). We might still see various fatherly advise come from his father, kind of like how Obi-Won came back in “Return Of The Jedi.”
To be honest with you, I don’t know what Hiro’s sister is doing. I would presume she’s very busy running the company. Hiro’s the CEO and I think she’s the President and is actually the day-to-day hands on person. So we haven’t seen her yet but we will see Hiro’s Mother. When? I don’t know? It may be season six but we will see Hiro’s mother.
Hiro’s had a love interest each of the last two seasons. Is he going to have one this year?
We don’t know yet, I mean that’s always up in the air. Personally, as a fan, I kind of like Hiro and Charlie’s love story and just want to leave it at that. In some senses having him fall for Yaeko right afterwards [was too fast] because in Hiro’s biological timeline it was literally two weeks after Charlie’s death, when Hiro spent six months with Charlie. So I think that love story is something that is pure and I don’t think we want to compound on that too much. That being said, you never know what’s going to happen. There could be a love story up ahead for Hiro. We don’t know. Everything is kind of up in the air. Ultimately, if there were an end for Hiro, my poetic ending for him would be to have him live in an infinite time loop. Living his time with Charlie over and over and over again. There’s definitely something sweet about that love story. I think it’s very hard to top that.
Many characters on the show have developed their powers in new and unusual ways. Will that happen to Hiro this season?
The writers are definitely very creative about how Hiro uses his power. It’s a very strong power, you know. Theoretically, Hiro could go back in time and fix everything. It’s very difficult in terms of plot devise. Okay, Daphne stole the paper, why doesn’t Hiro go back five minutes earlier and make sure he doesn’t have it? There’s always ways around it, unfortunately. We’re pretty much at a point where Hiro doesn’t go back into the past because he knows that he’s going to destroy the time-space continuum and something bad will happen.
In terms of powering up, I don’t know how much more Hiro can really power up teleportation and time-travel. I think he can become more accurate with his time travel now. So that’s definitely something. With the teleportation maybe he’ll go further. Just having more control over them. There might be a couple of things that are different in terms of how he uses his powers. Maybe he can do a dimensional warp? Maybe we could have Hiro transport to Mars or something? That’ll be season four.
This season is called “Villains.” What would you do if Hiro ever went bad?
I’d go knock some sense into Hiro. I think Hiro’s very pure. The naivete has gone away. He’ll do what he believes is right. Sometimes what he believes may not be the right thing. I would think that he’s very susceptible to a lot of things and gullible. But he would never do anything that is morally wrong in his mind. He follows the basic conduct of heroism. He goes by the bible of the comic book. That being said, we’ve seen what happens to those heroes that have gone to the dark side. It’s interesting because villain and hero are very relative terms. What is good and what is evil? In the villains mind, what the good people do is evil. From societies perspective it’s clear to see what’s good and what’s villain. From the villain’s perspective it is very different, how they see the world. It’s an interesting moral question. I have faith in Hiro that he’s always going to be in his heart a good guy, no matter what he does.

And the whole story of Hiro is just so flawed, the guy can travel into the future but he can't stop a girl from taking one half of that formula thing? WTF? have the writers forgotten what he's capable of? He's like pretty much able to do whatever he wants with his ability.
Yeah, that shit was just fucking stupid. It would be understandable if Hiro didn't wanna go back in time for some small thing but losing that formula could destroy the whole world. It doesn't make any sense that Hiro would rather risk the future of the whole world than travel 5 minutes back in time.
I really hate it how the writers are 'dumbing down' some of the most powerful characters of the show. Hiro has been one of my favorite characters since Season 1 but if the writers don't let him use his powers then they might as well kill him off. Right now Hiro is pretty much as retarded as Peter in Season 2 :thumbdown:

That's a problem I've had with the show. Some characters are ridiculously overpowered - like Peter and with the healing abilities of Claire's blood and Hiro's time travel, none of the characters could ever really be in danger.
-
I hate that Hiro is like comic relief/ or a punchline. The show has to get back on track and all of the time travel stuff is getting...bleh. Also Mohinder is starting to irk me. I think he screwed up more than Hiro has.
-
What the? I thought these new villians were meant to be 'worse than Syler'. Instead 2 die in the first batch of episodes? Hope they're not the only ones or things could be quite dull indeed.

The problem is the writers have no more clue than anyone else what the plot is. Literally.
From what I read a while back, they're writing and (more importantly) thinking only a little ahead. Enthusiastic monkeys with a keyboard. And a big budget enabling a slick production.
And hayden. ;-)
-
So it is revealed that some people have manufactured powers and some were born that way, sounds like that old X-Men storyline written by Grant Morrison
-
Wake me up where there is some good shots of Hayden or Kristen :dozing:
-
HEROES Spoilers! ^___^
Just saw episode 5. i think its 5.
How did Maury escape? I found it weird how "Lindermann" was explaining Matt's powers.
I wasn't surprised with hearing Mr. Petrelli. Looks like they brought him back to life or someting?
Claire is hot
Black Hole guy was pretty cool. I think Knox sucks. Not that great of an actor, but who on the show is? =P His fear power sounds cool, but all he does his open his eyes wide =D
wtf happened to the copycat chick, and The Irish girl Peter left in the future?
-
I was too lazy to write anything about the previous episode but basically all the future stuff was cool but the present day scenes were forgettable. The latest episode is alright but most importantly the story is finally becoming interesting.
:thumbsup
- Hayden just keeps getting hotter :drool:
- The Company vs. Pinehearst could be pretty epic.
- Hiro, Ando & Adam had some funny moments.
- Explanation behind Lindermann's ghost.
- Doyle is fucking creepy.
- Claire finally being badass...
:thumbdown:
- .....but then she got all emo again.
- Peter turning evil way too fast.
- Sylar being able to control "the hunger" too easily.
- Vortex dude.
- Spider-Mohinder! Maya shoulda killed him when she had a chance.
- Every scene with Angela Petrelli is like straight outta Bold and the Beautiful. Fuck dat soap opera shit!
- Sylar not being able to hear HRG. What happened to his super hearing?
Episode #6 preview

Evil-Peter vs. Goodie Two Shoes Sylar will be interesting.....
wtf happened to the copycat chick
Nobody cares about the Irish chick but this is what happened to Monica:
PW: The last we saw Monica, she had caused Niki (Ali Larter) to “die,” when does the season premiere pick up?
Dana: We pick up right there.
PW: Do you play a large part in season three?
Dana: Well, I would just say to fans of Monica’s, I don’t want to disappoint them, but her storyline wraps up fairly quickly.
PW: Why?
Dana: “Heroes” didn’t get the same critical or fan acclaim in season two, so I think the creators felt a lot of pressure because the ratings dropped and it wasn’t nominated for any Emmys. And with the strike, I feel like the writers had a lot of time to sit around and think. They wanted to come back really strong and go back to what the show was in season one - less drama, more action. And they took it in a different direction that didn’t really include Monica.
PW: That’s terrible, I thought there was a lot of potential there.
Dana: Yeah, me too. I loved the character and I love the power - but I totally understand and it makes a lot of sense knowing where the story goes.
PW: And heroes return all the time - it’s a small superpowered world!
Dana: Absolutely! Tim Kring [creator] and I have talked about that, you never know when I’ll show up again!

Edit: The official site of the Pinehearst Company: http://www.pinehearstresearch.com/
I'm gonna send 'em my CV! XD
-
Ando better not be dead.
-
Fuck Hiro. There, I said it. I'm pissed off, what was my favourite character has suddenly became the most idiotic (a title I held for Mohinder). Opening the formula, pissing off Ando at every second not realising that this could lead to Ando's 'betrayal' and the final straw that broke the camel's back, fucking stabbing his best friend Ando without hesitation cause some bad guys told him to.
And not only that, there's continuity issues all over the show here. Hiro gets knocked out and loses Adam? Reverse time. No problem. Sylar can't hear HRG from a distance? Sylar's got super hearing since Season 1. Peter all of a sudden gets Sylar's power? What about the times he's been near Sylar in say, Season 1? Was Peter having an off day all of a sudden? And I don't know how many more times I have to hear HRG tell Claire he's doing it for his family.
They said Lost Season 2-3 was a case of writer's just thinking on their feet of the next episode ahead, no overall structure or anything like that. Heroes at the minute is just becoming so ridiculous.
-
you watch episode 6? Spoilers.
- hiro didn't really stab Ando. He also met the african Precog. That was a funny scene, when he went back 1 minute in the past =) They've messed around with time travel though. 1, he can't go back in time to change things because the outcome will always be the same (they proved that in season one, when he tried to save the memory girl). But! 2,Future Peter went back in time, but there was the butterfly effect, so everything changed... i thought things can't change cuz of #1? I dunno, but i dont' really care =P
- I'm fine with the continuity of tings. It's not really based on real life, so i've accepted it. Its been always like this since season 1.
- Can't believe Adam died. Mr. Petrelli's power is he can steal them.
- Puppet guy was pretty creepy. Kinda obvious what was gonna happen though, with shooting claire.
- What is Sylar doing to supress the hunger? And why did Peter take Sylar's powers in the first place?
-
Killing Adam was wack, they should have left him in that coffin :thumbdown:
Anyways my biggest problem with the current season is that it has made me stop caring about my old favorite characters. Hiro has been one of my favorites since S1 but he needs to be killed off so there would no longer be time traveling. HRG has lost his swagger completely and dude hasn't done anything worth mentioning this season. Sylar has been reduced to a confused little boy who wants to be loved. Elle has changed for worse too but she is barely getting any screen time anyways. Elle and Claire are pretty much the only characters I don't wanna see killed off but that's only because I like the actresses :P
The latest episode is nothing special but it does have lots of sweet female bonding between Elle & Claire :wub:
:thumbsup
- Elle is back!
- Female bonding between Claire & Elle.
- Maya is gone!
- Parkman actually used his ability.
:thumbdown:
- Milo's acting is getting worse in every episode. He might be the worst actor on TV at the moment.
- Sylar & Peter switching sides in every episode.
- Elle vs. Claire catfight was lame.
Episode #8 preview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDzi7-BTobM
And why did Peter take Sylar's powers in the first place?
Because the writers are dumb? :P
-
I really don't get why Claire thinks her powers are broke just because she can't feel any pain. She seemed pretty happy about Elle's electrifying her not having any effect. :lol:
Also, this has been bothering me since the start of the new season, but apparently Hiro and Maya has the ability to improve their English over time. All of a sudden Hiro went from "flying man" to complete sentences and random comic references...
- What is Sylar doing to supress the hunger? And why did Peter take Sylar's powers in the first place?
Theories says it's a lot of strong will and meditation. :lol: And Peter took his powers to understand the future he was in and how he could change the outcome of it. Obviously that didn't work out.
-
I........Also, this has been bothering me since the start of the new season, but apparently Hiro and Maya has the ability to improve their English over time. All of a sudden Hiro went from "flying man" to complete sentences and random comic references.....
Hiro has been making comic references since the first episode, and even in that same season his English improved a lot.
We can also say because they are "special" beings they can learn languages faster than normal >_>.
Or even better, the script "decided" they could speak proper English now ¬_¬

Big Shakeup Behind the Heroes Scenes
Variety says there was a big shakeup behind the scenes of NBC's "Heroes" on Sunday as writers/co-executive producers Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb were fired.
The duo had been with the show since its first season and were known to have led the day-to-day production operation under the direction of creator/executive producer Tim Kring.
"Heroes," produced by Universal Media Studios, has struggled in the ratings its third season. It's understood that Alexander and Loeb were let go because of NBC executives' frustration with the creative direction of the show.
The trade added that the show is also said to have been dealing with hefty budget overruns this season that are going well beyond its already sizable $4 million per-episode pricetag.

Also, this has been bothering me since the start of the new season, but apparently Hiro and Maya has the ability to improve their English over time. All of a sudden Hiro went from "flying man" to complete sentences and random comic references...
They never explained how Maya's English got better but Hiro's English improved during the first season when he spent a few months in the past trying to save that waitress chick. Anyways Heroes has the most inconsistent writers ever :thumbdown:
-
Hiro's & Ando's Japanese have also improved a lot, and I know don't need to read the subtitles to my wife.. (They were both dubbed into proper Japanese for the 1st season DVD release here... not sure about the 2nd season, or even if it's out)
Hiro (Masi Oka.. マシ・オカ (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/マシ・オカ)..his Japanese name is written in Katakana now, and not Kanji), said on an interview here, that he was asked to speak strange Japanese and not fluently, because Ando (Korean) couldn't match it, and would sound very wrong if one was fluent and the other wasn't..
Ando's Japanese has now improved enough, that Hiro can now speak kinda normal..
-
I would be interested to read script drafts that were rejected by either NBC or the "Executive Producers" of the show. It seems to me when a certain American TV show becomes popular and trendy the people in charge begin to fuck with what made it good in the first place.
I haven't watched an episode since the conclusion of Season 2 and I'm very grateful for all the updates here because I can't imagine spending any time with characters that I actually cared for a year ago. Characters whose lives are in the hands of TV executives whose creative output is limited to the number of toppings ordered at Star*ucks for their sugar-loaded "coffee" beverage.
Lemme know there's an edit put together of scenes with only Kristen Bell. Thanks!
-
Based on Masa's review of ep07 I downloaded it, watch I think a total of 5 minutes of it, and am back to hibernation... Man this is not interesting at all! Kirstens character started to look interesting and now? She can't control it anymore?? Needs to hold hands in the airplane?? Bleeh.
(Yup yeah for Masa doing summaries :) )
-
Ok so after Episode 06, Hiro's not a complete tard. I thought the shovel scenes were nice comic relief. But does anyone actually care for Mohinder's story? I haven't seen a positive outlook on it from fans.
-
Spider-Mohinder!
-
I really hate "let's rewrite the history" kind of episodes and the latest episode of Heroes is no exception. Easily the worst episode of the season so far. I hope the Haitian comes back and kills everybody :P
:thumbsup
- well.... the dude with metal arms was kinda cool
:thumbdown:
- The episode was booooooring, I almost stopped watching after 10 minutes.
- They basically rewrote the characters of Sylar, Elle & Angela.
- Flint is a retarded hillbilly.
- Sylar's hunger, that shit was introduced two seasons too late.
- Hiro is the slowest motherfucker ever despite the fact that he can teleport. Dude just freezes whenever something bad is about to happen.
- Elle has completely lost her S2 swagger. I guess the current writers never even saw the 2nd season.
- Every scene with Elle & Sylar made me cringe in pain.
- Arthur, Angela and Lindermann were on some soap opera bullshit.
- How the fuck did Arthur manage to kill a guy who can see the future?
Episode #9 'It's Coming' preview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_isVBm-cGFE
If this show doesn't improve soon then cancellation is the only thing that's coming :thumbdown:
-
Guess they decided a bit late they needed a plot.
-
Bit of a disappointment S3 has been for me so far. The thing I used to love in S1 was how grounded these people were. Despite the powers of flight, strength, stopping time, these people still had to pay the bills, save a failing marriage and these people were unique. Now in S3 it seems everyone has a power running around in this chaotic world full of superpowered villians with the normal people completely oblivious to what's going on around them. To me, Heroes should be more personal, what does their power mean to each of them, how it changes them, and how they decide to use those powers, and less of the secret company plotting world destruction stuff. Instead it has turned into a "what if?" drama. The incessant time travel also takes away any feeling of consequence. Just feels like the writers are making it up as they go along.
I'll still continue to watch it, I just personally don't like to see the show go down this route.
-
As always, thanks to Masa and the crew for all the reviews and plot summaries!
I'll always have Season One...
-
Man, I haven't watched any eps since the first 2 for this season.
I could always download them, but I'm just not feeling it anymore.
-
there was a dude with metal arms? Dang, i didn't even notice. Then again, i wasn't really paying attention. The "Villains" title was pretty cool, how you saw the symbol and it turned red.
I think Heroes lost its appeal.
I'll still watch it though.
Well, at least they're gonna talk about the eclipse now. I always wondered about that.
-
Watched the Villains episode last night. Some good moments in there, mostly the throwbacks to the 1st season, but I was so annoyed with how Elle's character was treated. Now apparently, so I was lead to believe from past episodes anyway, she grew up a nutjob during childhood. And then suddenly, a year ago, she was a super happy, super caring, super sane, superbunny. Then, five months after that, she was back to being psychotic without any idea of social norms or behaviour? How random.
And I should have seen it coming, but now the blue flame guy is also a distant relation? Claire's gonna find out that she and Ando have the same great-great grandfather's sister's 2nd cousin at this rate.
As for Arthur killing Usutu, perhaps like Isaac, he decided he was going to accept his fate if it leads to the greater good. Maybe? Here's hoping, otherwise that's yet another plot hole in this season.
-
It's possible Usutu was too occupied with Hiro and thus didn't paint anything during that interval. :lol:
-
Claire's gonna find out that she and Ando have the same great-great grandfather's sister's 2nd cousin at this rate.
Touche. That's exactly where the creativity on this program appears to be going these days.
-
I am 2 episodes behind, stupid work. -.- But good thing there's the intarwebs. :w00t:
-
It's all about the genetics man! When Ando's powers manifest the show has officially jumped the shark.
-
If this show doesn't improve soon then cancellation is the only thing that's coming :thumbdown:
....and it's not getting any better :doh:
:thumbsup
- Hiro's officially retarded :lol:
- Hayden's still hot
:thumbdown:
- Please no more scenes with just Peter & Claire. They might be fucking behind the scenes but they have absolutely no chemistry on screen.
- Peter being smarter without his powers
- Petrelli family soap opera bullshit
- I hope Mohinder suffers the same fate as his guinea pig
- Lame ass love story between Parkman and Daphne
- Bonding between Elle & Sylar :bleed eyes:
Episode #10 preview

-
I wish they'd just kill claire off (after disabling her powers) and dump hayden from the show. Then I could quit watching.
-
^ NO WAI!! Hayden and Kristen are my top 2 reasons for watching :P
Well while this eclipse idea sounds like a good 'reset' button to put into the show, it just opens up more plot holes. For example, in the first season, an eclipse didn't affect their powers at all! Hiro was still using his to teleport to New York and after the eclipse happened. Raises questions as well about the time travellers. Say if future Peter went back in time and was caught in the eclipse, would he lose his powers, or keep them? If so, then all Arthur Petrelli has to do is time travel into the future at the convenient time of an eclipse and kill everyone that's powerless. Simple :P And two eclipses in as many years seems rather implausible. Argh, no, bad Tuffty, stop being so picky! XD
Also a bit peeved at how they worked all season to turn Sylar to a good guy and yet he goes back to normal at the first smile and a wink from Elle (though I'd do a lot for Kristen if she wanted me too!). Still not liking how Elle has a different personality from her anarchical, psychotic former self.
-
Gotta admit I wasn't paying that much attention (to anything other than hayden at this point) but how much of the earth's surface did the eclipse cover and how long did it last?
-
I'm just hoping they get things in order. I'm tired of Hiro being the joke of the show instead of the alternate future bad ass.
-
i actually missed the first half of the last episode =P dang, i thought i'd never miss it cuz i forgot. The show must be really bad to me then =P
But i saw this weeks =) I was thinking the same thing, Glasses Guy is the strongest out of all the powerless heroes =)
Haitan guy was cool, getting his brother. Buttttt.... wasn't feeling peter and nathan in the jungle with guns.
Claire died! then came back to life... which was predictable =\
Evil Sylar =)
Dead Elle =(
Crippled fast chick wasn't a big twist. i was like, so what...
I like 10 year old Hiro better than old Hiro. 10yr old Hiro doesn't need to think, just does, and gets shit done! I still wanna see Future Badass Hiro. Damn Hiro hasn't used his sword yet...
i was really hoping that Seth Green would have werewolf powers =P
-
Yawn. Here I was hoping the Eclipse would be the reset button to tone down some character's powers, but it just turned out to be a temporary off switch. If anything, Hiro regained all his powers back as he couldn't travel through time before, just space, but well he sees a pretty blonde and I guess now he suddenly can. And I hate to say it but it's a good thing Elle's gone. Complete character change from Season 2 that made her far less interesting and the relationship with Sylar was beyond tedious, more so than Maya and her brother from last season. Elle hates him, then loves him, then hates him, then wants to turn Sylar to the company or Sylar saves Elle then minutes later kills her. They've both done complete 180's so many times this season it's ridiculous.
And let's go over more things shall we? If everyone lost their powers in the Eclipse, then how come Arthur didn't? Surely if he lost Adam's power of being immortal, he would have been hospitalised once again? And for all the hype of 'It's coming', what actually happened? What significant event happened that changed the series? I don't think of anything.
There's a lot of inconsistencies with the characters it's hard to really care. What happened to Peter's sudden bloodlust from gaining Sylar's power? And Sylar's new found power from learning other abilities from empathy is now pretty useless seeing as he's bad again. And no more Kristen Bell! Things are looking bad for Heroes.
-
i would think technically since Arthur stole Peter's powers, Peter doesn't have Sylar's power anymore. The urge is extra baggage with the power.
re: Adam, Adam had fast healing like Claire, not immortal powers. So, it would have completely healed Arthur's poisonous wounds and infections.
-
^ Which is how he lived for over 400 years? :?
-
yeah, heal his bones/cells from breaking i'm guessing =)
-----
So, i guess people stop liking the show? =P Anyone watch this weeks? Arthur Petrelli died. Sylar is pretty cool again.
-
Just fucking stay bad Sylar! Means the whole good/bad switchovers were a waste of time but oh well.
And a returning writer has taken a pop at Villians
Returning Heroes writer Bryan Fuller has taken a swipe at 'Villains', the current volume of the show.
Fresh from his stint on the recently-axed Pushing Daisies, Fuller told Entertainment Weekly that the show recently "became too dense and fell into certain sci-fi trappings. For instance, in the 'Villains' arc, when you talk about formulas and catalysts, it takes the face off the drama."
"I thought the 'Villains' arc started out very interestingly, and then became sort of muddy and dense and I couldn't get my hooks into the characters to understand their motivations," Fuller continued. "I also started to feel confused about what people's abilities were. One of the great things about the first season is that the metaphor for their abilities was very clear. Those metaphors seem to have gotten complicated in the past two seasons."
Fuller, who wrote several acclaimed first season episodes of Heroes, confirmed that his work will be seen on the current season from the 19th episode onwards.
-
So, volume 3 is done. Volume 4 "Fugitives" is next.
Spoilers, of course.
mmm, was an ok Season finale. Not liking how everything pretty much happened in this episode though. Super charger Ando was interesting, but when i think about it, he's still pretty useless by himself.
Hehe, i think its yet another star trek reference, but it looked like Michael "Colonel Worf" Dorn is the President in Heroes =) And Nathan wants to gather all "Heroes" because they're threats to society, ala X-Men.
I'm kinda interested in Volume 4, since there's new writer's again.
-
I officially don't like anything about Heroes but evil Sylar.
-
Worf and sulu in the same episode is amusing.
(Ironically I have joked about obama being elected head of the klingon high council.)
And claire reminded me of Homecoming Queen's got a Gun. :-)
But that whole window fire bullet claire thing was pretty lame. But then it's probably more efficient to stick to mentioning what wasn't lame.
We'll see where they take it.
-
Finale wasn't too bad, and yet..god I hate to sound like ComicBookGuy on a rant, but do the writers not at least read through the script first for any possible plotholes. Take this list for example:
Why did Peter just happen to get flight after injecting himself when it's proven with Ando that it could be anything, not just what you want the most?
Why didn't Nathan just fly out himself?
Why didn't they just knock Meredith out or put her in the cell Hiro was in that blocked abilities?
Why didn't Noah just shoot her and use Claire's blood to revive her?
Plot devices used earlier in the series but completely forgotten about here. Heroes isn't being criticised for one or two gaffs. It is consistantly contradicting itself to an extent where you can not possiblely turn your brain off due to the flashing siren and wailing siren screaming "But hang on a sec..." every two minutes. Oh I dunno. Only thing that made sense was Ando's new power as the support guy. And with Fugitives looking very X-Men esque and with the promise of new writers, I hope for a more consistent season this time.
/Rant over XD

Sorry for double post but:
Could Ali Harter be going for good next season?
Those clinging onto Heroes, hoping for a miraculous recovery from the twisted storylines and ragged characters, might actually be happy about this one.
Toronto radio station Z103.5 announced this morning that Ali Larter has reportedly been asked to leave Heroes at the end of this season.
Producers apparently feel there’s nothing left to do with Larter’s newest character, Tracy Strauss. They don’t necessarily want to release her from contract, but will potentially kill off Tracy at the end of Volume IV.
Pre-Tracy, Larter played dissociative identity disorder sufferer Niki Sanders, whose alter ego Jessica displayed super-crazy strength and power.
Niki was killed off at the end of Volume II when she ran into a burning building after her son, Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey), and his cousin, Monica (Dana Davis), who was notably absent throughout the entire third volume.
If Larter is written off the show, it would come as no surprise. The Tracy character has done nothing but annoy loyal fans who want to see the actress’ acting chops put to better use.
And it seems as though fans aren’t the only ones unhappy about the series’ lowered expectations.
A blind item posted on E! Online claims the show has finally succumbed to the behind-the-scenes squabbles usually spawned by ensemble casts, and now one major character wants out.
As with all blind items, no names are mentioned, but the actor or actress in questions feels he or she is not getting enough screen time, and is asking to be let go of his or her contract at the end of the season.
There’s more: The actor has been on the show since the first season, has “more name recognition than others in the cast” and could be revived from a death scene (which could pretty much mean anybody).
Are these two news items one and the same? Could Ali Larter be asking for a show release, rather than the other way around? Before the series began, Larter was definitely one of the more established cast members, and Tracy has had little-to-no screen time in recent episodes.
-
Seems they can kill off any character easily. There's still the last sister to make a story around, but i guess they can just ignore it and *poof* it's gone =P
-
New Episode of Heroes tonite!
That was a pretty fast break. There wasn't much hype on it.
-
anyone watch it? I actually really liked it. Its like they pressed the reset button. Totally diffrent vibe now. Sylar is kick ass.
-
Aw dammit. The one time, in a long time that I as excited for a Heroes episode, only to find out that it won't be shown over here for a while yet. Shame. I've heard universal praise for it including good acting from Peter? That can't be right can it?
-
The first episode of the new batch didn't impress me too much, but the second has things finally getting interesting and was even ever so slightly coherent.
(BTW The aerial shot of costa verde is actually dana point california.)
-
So, Peter lost his powers, but then he stabbed himself with the formula. I assume he has Rogue powers now, cuz he has to touch people to get em. Or do you think that he got his dad's power, but just doesn't know it?
I'm actually glad they killed off Daphne. I wasn't a big fan of her. Plus, that relationship with Parkman was weird, like he could be her dad. Parkman using his mind powers to kill soldiers was cool.
-
Haven't seen any of the new season yet, (starts on Mon here in the UK) but I read about the latest episode and fan reviews appear to be universal, it's one of the worst episodes ever :lol:
-
i still like it =) Its better than last season.
Next episode is dedicated to Bennett!

NBC: 'Heroes' will return next fall
NBC plans to bring back “Heroes” for another season, said entertainment president Angela Bromstad.
The action-drama’s ratings decline has caused some media reports to speculate as to whether the show will return next fall. As part of Hollywood Reporter’s annual Q&As with the five broadcast network chiefs, Bromstad was asked if “Heroes” could be considered “on the bubble” for a renewal. “No,” she said, and added that the network plans to order 18-20 episodes of the show for next season.
That's fewer hours than "Heroes" first (23) or current third season (25), with season two having been cut short due to the writers strike. For all its headline-making audience erosion, “Heroes” is still tied with NBC's “The Office” as the network’s top-rated series among adults 18-49 this season.
Also being factored: NBC's pilot project “Day One,” about a group of survivors in the wake of a catastrophic global event. If the serialized “Day One” goes to series, having an established sci-fi drama like “Heroes” could help the new show in a few ways, including possibly airing as part of the same Monday night block. "'Day One' is a big event and we're looking at that to come into the 'Heroes' spot," Bromstad said. "It's right now being looked at as a 13-episode run -- something people could commit to and we could make a big splash with."
If “Day One” does launch in the “Heroes” time period, “One” would get the advantage of its strong sci-fi-established slot for a number of weeks. With a slightly shorter episode order, “Heroes” can then continue its usual pattern of airing with few breaks by virtue of debuting later in the season. A second potential home for “Day One" is on Sundays, she said, where quasi-futuristic “Kings” will premiere March 15. Another point in “Heroes” favor is the show performs well internationally. Bromstad said she experienced the drama's global popularity first-hand in her previous NBC post, heading the network’s international efforts based in London.
"Every single place you go has heard about 'Heroes' -- whether you’re in China or Japan or Russia," she said. "And to me, that is global content." The network has privately discussed setting a series end date for "Heroes," which would followed the creative model used with critical success by ABC's “Lost,” Sci Fi's ”Battlestar Galactica” and FX's “The Shield.” But even if NBC ever made such a move, Bromstad said, they wouldn't want to make next season the conclusion.
"Heroes" fans aren't entirely in the clear yet: a renewal isn’t a deal until it’s a deal. If the show took a sudden dire ratings turn, the network still has time to reevaluate this strategy. But barring something dramatic happening, NBC is not deterred by the current ratings and will bring back "Heroes" for a fourth round.

Hooray?
-
Um..is anybody still watching?
Have to say the finale was the biggest letdown of all Heroes, and this from someone who liked S1's finale! No real drama, no tension, didn't care when Nathan died and plotlines still left wide out in the open (Is Hiro dead or what?). Plus, the whole 'let's turn Sylar into Nathan and hope no-one notices' plan kind of goes out the window once they see he can't fly! What's even worse is, they didn't give Nathan any of Claire's blood, blood which, as seen in S2, ressurects dead people!! :banghead: And what we wanted to see, a Sylar v Peter showdown becomes another huge letdown. :thumbdown:
If it wasn't for Hayden, I'd given up a long time ago. Kill the cheerleader, kill the show :P
-
meh, they nerfed peter, Sylar would kill him easily.
I was kinda intrigued with the whole turn Sylar into Nathan. It was something i didn't think about, so that was interesting.
re: Hiro, nopes, he's not dead. he was at the end at the bonfire.

Claire May Have a Lesbian Storyline on 'Heroes'
July 06, 2009 07:13:49 GMT
In the fourth season, the cheerleader is now a college student who shares more than just a room with her new friend. More and more spoilers are coming out for the fourth season of "Heroes", especially the ones circling Hayden Panettiere's character Claire Bennet. In a recent scoop, EW's Michael Ausiello gives a "that's true" to the question whether or not there will be a lesbian storyline for Claire and her new roommate. In the new season, Claire is graduated and heading to college. She will live with another girl named Annie which is played by "Days of Our Lives" actress Rachel Melvin. Words are, they will share more than just a room.
The hint about the same sex relationship made its round last month but it was never this close. "I'm not sure about a full-blown relationship, but I can confirm that the college roomies will engage in a little sapphic experimentation. At least that's the plan," Ausiello revealed.
"Heroes" will be back on NBC on Monday, September 21. Hayden Panettiere said that a new mysterious group will surface as opposite to The Company. "The next season of Heroes has a lot of characters that are coming in," she told MTV News. "There's something called The Carnival... which is kind of the opposite of what The Company was. There's a lot of new, cool characters."

Heroes just got interesting again XD
-
I can see the boardroom meeting now:
"Ok so the criticims of late have largely focused on our unclear narrative, too many unnecessary plot points, Hiro/Ando being virtually useless, Claire constantly making dumb decisions and shifts in character behaviour that goes completely against what fans have come to expect. Now, how do we go about solving this"
"I know! Make Claire a lesbian!"
XD
Don't get me wrong though, this is actually the best decision the Heroes writers have made in the entire series :lol: :drool:

Oh, why the hell not...
Tentacles are next. Why the hell not...
-
I hope the lesbian scene comes early, once it's done, I may just give up on Heroes altogether.
-
Heroes sucks, but why the hell do I continue to watch it. Hiro has become a fucking joke, and not the potential bad ass of "future Hiro" as appearing in season 1.
-
^ he has always been a fuckin' joke!! Haven't like him from the start..
I'm really not diggin' this Sylar store line.. And Bagwell pisses me off!!
-
This season isn't as bad as last season, but it's still lacking that special something. Hoping for a pick up and lots of hot hot Sylar-murdering-bitches action soon
-
sylar needs to get his body back! :lol:
-
Done, he needs to get his mind straight now. Yay Mohinder is back!
-
Yay Mohinder is back!
And the recent shoot location in india is right around hollywood. :-)
I got a new dvr a while back and forgot to program in heroes so I missed the first eight episodes of the season. After so long away it was nice to see it again with all its flaws.
-
Best line of Heroes,
"....He's repeating the opening of Quantum Leap."
-
Best camera angle of Heroes,

Season Finale last night was pretty good. I have a feeling that the next season might be the last which hopefully not lol I just started liking this show and I don't want it to end lol.

NBC Cancels 'Heroes' As A Series But Plans Finale Event In Midseason
I toldja there were 3 ways NBC was going to go, and we'd know as soon as today if series cancellation was the option chosen, and it's now official. But NBC sources now tell me that the network is "working on a way to wrap up the show. That will be determined after the upfront." Other insiders explain to me that NBC will soon commit to that 2-hour or 4-hour special event in midseason to reward Heroes fans.
