Why You Should Watch NBC'S Heroes

Haha . .. EXACTLY, Charlotte! :)

You just outta watch cause it's good, excellent, fantastic, super, great, superior, wonderful; Oops I ran out of superlatives. I just happen to love this show!

Oh, but you learn sooo much, Jon! Sooo much . . . haha . . . at the end :) (didn't feel like logging in to make that statement)

Thank you for sharing this article. I however think that the show is tooooooo slow. 1 hour and I hardly learn anything new :(

Thank you for sharing this article. I have heard a lot about this show, and I am bound and determined to catch it and sit down and see if I enjoy it or not. This article contains a lot of valuable information.

Thanks for your comments, Hiro (any relations to Mr. Nakamura?) I understand the complaint with Niki's abilities; however, remember that we still have yet to see the full extent of any of the heroes' abilities. I'm sure Niki's goes further than just a personality disorder; remember Jean Grey-vs-The Phoenix (though I hate to perpetually draw these similarity points between "Heroes" and "X-Men")

Last night we saw Niki Sanders "power" come out. She was one person, then she became another person and beat a guy up. While it was slightly good acting, I think she was just playing someone with multiple personalities. Since when is mental illness a superpower?

Thanks for your comment, Barefoot! That's certainly what I'm hoping for. And I'm sure a lot of criticism may arise in days to come, perhaps already have, about the show's apparent similarity-- or, what some would call blatant copying-- of other superhero classics (namely, X-men, and more recently "The 4400"); however, it's important to note that writer/creator Tim Kring has already established that in the creation of this series, he needed to note two things: 1) He was not a comic book hero reader, and needed to consult comic book writers to determine how to go about creating these figures, and 2) He did not read any comic books/superhero related books during the writing of this series, just to ensure that if any similarities DID exist, he could honestly say they were coincidental! CHEERS! :)

I caught the opener replay on the Sci-Fi channel. This one does look like a winner. My first thoughts were that it's a poor-man's Fantastic Four, but Khara, you're right when you say it's about the characters. They will make the show. This may be a reason for me to get Tivo.

Oh, and I forgot to mention; if you're not too worried about spoilers, and want to see what's coming up on "Heroes", check out tvguide.com, where you can find a short episode briefing of the pilot and the next two upcoming episodes; just search for Heroes! :)

Thanks for the comments, early morning users! (Glad we have that in common!) The show airs at 9/8 central on NBC Mondays; the next episode airs THIS Monday, entitled "Don't Look Back". If you missed the premiere, you can check it out (for free) at NBC.com or download it now on iTunes ($1.99)! Thanks again for the comments and your votes! (PS-- to Ben J.-- I like Ali Larter, too . . .though I'm guessing we're talking in different ways!) :) CHEERS!

yeah, you need to say when it comes on. sounds like a cool show, tho; i love ali larter!

So, now I'm def interested in the show! lol But, did you say when it comes on? I wanna watch!
