Title: Heroes
Post by: Cardcaptor Takato on September 26 2006, 02:02 pm

Did anyone catch the premiere of NBC's new series, Heroes and what were your thoughts about it?  I saw it tonight and it was totally awesome.  The plot is a little cliched, about a group of ordinary humans discovering they have superpowers and how it effects their lives, but the execution is just handled really well and I like how it so far seems to be a more character-driven series rather than a show that's simply about action.  If anything it was worth watching just for that Japanese guy, Hiro.  I loved how they subtitled all the scenes with him in it and he looks like a really fun character.  I loved the scene where he teleports to New York and he shouts in Engrish, "Yatta!  HALLO NEW YORK!"  This is the first American TV show I've actually looked forward to watching in a long time and it was really enjoyable.  I'm definetly looking forward to the rest of this series and if it's ever released on DVD, I'm so buying it.  I just hope this show lasts for longer than a season because it looks like it'll be a really great show.

I tuned into it per the recommendations of another forum I frequent. It's off to a decent start and I hope NBC commits itself to the series. I really hate it when a network starts a series only to end it after a few weeks because of ratings. If given a chance, Heroes has the capability of being a excellent series.

The encore of the series premiere will be tomorrow night and then catch new episodes every Monday night at 9 pm ET/ 8 pm CT on NBC. Encore showings will also air on the Sci-Fi Channel. Check local listings for channel and time.

Caught the latest episode and loved it! This is the ONLY show I'm watching from the original 'BIG THREE' networks (ABC, CBS and NBC)

I was only able to catch the last final parts of episode one, but even before that, the "Heroes" trailers had me hooked already.   :D   I hope to see a re-run of episode 2.

"Herooooo New York!!" 
*sighs*  How I would love to have a power that has some control on time and space.   Dang, that guy gave himself a free ride just to go from Japan to NYC.  >_>

It's a fun show.  I don't know why everyone's supposed to save the cheerleader though.  Couldn't we save Hiro?  The cheerleader is annoying.
