If you've discovered one of the hottest new shows on TV, you know how utterly addicting Heroes on NBC can be. Each episode is so exciting, it's hard to wait for the next one - it's almost as if Hiro has stretched time to make seven days feel like 70!

So what can a poor Heroes fan do while waiting for the next new episode to be aired? The obvious answer is to watch the episodes you've taped or saved to Tivo (tm). But if you have access to the internet, there's an entire world of Heroes video clips, fan information, cast and crew interviews, graphic novels and more. It will take you days, if not weeks, to work your way through all the sites, and if you have DSL or other broadband service, you can even watch entire episodes without any commercials.

The place to start is on the official NBC Heroes website, found at http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/. This site is absolutely packed with cool stuff to explore. Read Hiro's personal blog and catch on up where he is. Check out the snapshot of Mohinder's map that he grabbed before he fled his father's apartment, which lists a few tidbits on where people with special abilities can be found, most of which haven't been introduced to the show yet. The online graphic novels explore storylines not covered on the show, and you can find the entire back-story of the new character Hana in these virtual pages.

Here you'll also find complete episodes to stream if you have access to a broadband connection. You can even watch the current episode with cast and crew commentary! Be sure to check out the extensive section of interviews and appearances - maybe you'll get lucky and meet a hero face to face. Another feature is mobile device features and wallpapers for those on the go.

Be sure to visit the NBC-sponsored Heroes MySpace page, located here: http://www.myspace.com/heroesofficial. This great site has a whole different set of fun features to explore, such as heart-pounding video clips featuring the profiles of individual heroes, wallpapers, icons, MySpace skins, a personality quiz, forums and more.

Takeaways
  • Tons of links and goodies can be accessed on the official NBC website created for Heroes.
  • Discussion boards aren't just good companionship -- people often post links to rare material.
Did You Know?
Heroes creator Tim Krieg doesn't read comic books, both because he wants to keep the show grounded in the real world, and because he has a form of dyslexia that makes it impossible to follow the speech bubbles that comics use.
