Ok, so this is for people who watch Heores (from America at the moment)

Thoughts on the first few episodes so far? Absolutely incredible show, Hiro has to be my favourite character :D

Dan Dare
23-10-2006, 06:50 PM
elaborate. Whassis all about, eh?

AshMat
23-10-2006, 06:55 PM
It's a bout a group of people, who all have special superhero powers.
For example, Hiro can bend space and time with his mind, alowing him to teleport himself, etc.
Isaac can see into the future.
and Claire is indestructable.
oh and there's Niki, not really sure about her power yet.
and i forgot the flying guy's name...

Heroes is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives. The relatable superheroes include Peter Petrelli, a 30-year-old male nurse who believes can fly, Isaac Mendez, a 28-year-old junkie who has the ability to paint images of the future when he is high, Niki Sanders, a 33-year-old Las Vegas showgirl who can do incredible things with mirrors, Hiro Makamura, a 24-year-old Japanese comic-book geek who literally makes time stand still, D.L. Hawkins, a 31-year-old inmate who can transport himself through walls, Matt Parkman, a beat cop who can hears other people's thoughts, and Claire Bennet, 17-year-old cheerleader who defies death at every turn. Not only are they discovering what having superpowers means to them but also the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Eventually their superpowers draw them together when they try to evade the series' antagonist who wants to harness their super-DNA for himself. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world. The series will star Greg Grunberg (Alias), Leonard Roberts (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls), and Hayden Panettiere (Ally McBeal, Guiding Light). Tim Kring (Crossing Jordan, Chicago Hope) is the series' creator. The pilot is set to be directed by Dave Semel (American Dreams, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Beverly Hills, 90210). Heroes will be produced by NBC/Universal/Tailwind.

Hiro is F'in Awsome, espeically the End of Last Weeks Ep, but I won't spoil it, people who saw it know what 'm talknig about =D

Wasn't a Fan of the painter guy but he's growing on e now, and the Mimic Guy those two are pretty cool.

AshMat
23-10-2006, 07:14 PM
Ok, i am very, very confused by the end of Ep2...

BGS
23-10-2006, 07:16 PM
To put it very briefly... It's a bit like smallville meets xmen meets lost.

To put it more briefly than that - It's chuffin' awesome!

Is this sort of like 'Unbreakable', where they're superheroes in a more subtle way, and clean up the streets more realistically (or, as far as it can go).

If so, then I might just check it out when it's shown over here (or before, wink wink).

BGS
23-10-2006, 07:20 PM
Ok, i am very, very confused by the end of Ep2...

Hiro's warping to America for some reason also transported him 5 weeks ahead in time. He sees some kind of apocolyptic (nuclear ?) explosion and then transports himself back in time to the moment he originally came from.

AshMat
23-10-2006, 07:45 PM
Yeah.. i know that. Im just confused.

I will obviously discuss it here with y'all but if any of you want more in depth discussion go here (And join me...Lol, I seem to be the most active member! Trying to liven it up - www.Heroes-Forum.com )

And yes the end of Episode 4 ;

SO good. This > lost for SURE.
Can't wait till the next ep. Getting better and better.

Only one problem.

how did hiro go from barely speaking a word of english to talking to Peter quite fluently? lame!

AshMat
25-10-2006, 02:26 PM
He came from the future. So he's obviously learned a good bit of english.

I heard a nice theory about Hiro knowing english to talk to Peter was to talk to him,. if he messed up, go back in time and try again and again until he got it right which does sound pretty col, amknig Hiro more awsome.

Currently downloading ep 5, shall probably watch it tomorrow!

I am hating that Sci Fi picked this up - It will get next to no exposure and they blatently wont advertise it well AT ALL.

KingJoe
26-10-2006, 07:55 PM
Matt, the psychic cop, is my current fave.
I used to like Peter Petrelli, but he's SUCH a wet lettuce that I've already had enough of him. Nathan, despite being a bit of a wanker, is a cool charcter. I'm pretty fond of claire too, as well as being very purtee, she is nice and likeable.
And word up to the smack-head.

Probably the weakest episode like booker said but It pretty much explains what the womans powers are, and her husbands.

I watched it last night and KNEW that

Eden was part of Claires Dad's group, from the start she jsut seemed weird and now we know, as well as Claires dad getting stand ins for the Bio Parents he's fishy, is he on the good side or the bad side or what? when eden told him that theyhad to save the cheerleader he was taken back a bit"

and does anyone know if theres a Preview for ep6 anywhere was looking last night but nothing showed up

McPhee
01-11-2006, 10:57 AM
This show is brilliant! just away to watch Ep 3 now!

Shame Sci-Fi got it over here. I was hoping 5 would snap it up for 5 US, they desperately need to get something worth watching on there besides CSI and Stephen King's NM & DS.

Watched first 2 episodes and I'm still not really feeling it. All you internet people are in a state of euphoria about it, and I can see why, its enjoyable and I will end up watching all of it. (if it concludes in less than 3 series)

I do like it, but as people have said it seems a bit cheesy and just X-Men minus the suits.

Neverless, I'll hold real judgement until at least episode 5.

Dan Dare
01-11-2006, 03:50 PM
I have a feeling the cliffhanger to this next episode is worth putting in italics it's going to be so immense

Dante
01-11-2006, 04:08 PM
Next episode: Nothing To Lose
Niki opens up to a friend when her son becomes the subject of a crisis. Hiro begins to question his heroism after failing to act like a superhero in the face of danger. Nathan and his wife come up with a strategy to win the election. Claire finds out what happened to her missing video tape, and her father gets some surprising news from an associate. Matt and Audrey continue their investigation of the serial killer Sylar.
Airs: Monday November 6, 2006

Hiro & Ando are meeting up with DL, Micah, and Nikki?

Yeah looks it. I'd say they meet up between Vegas and New York before meeting Peter and the others. Question is- how does the cop get from L.A to N.Y?

Dante
01-11-2006, 05:24 PM
How do you know that Dan Dare? :wtf:

Dan Dare
01-11-2006, 06:00 PM
Just a guess. Hiro is already trying to get there, and Niki is in the same area as him. It makes sense

the bomb and everything.

Dante
01-11-2006, 06:39 PM
I was talking about Matt Dan.

I guess that NotNikki finds DL & Micah and cause a car crash as Hiro & Ando are leaving L.A

Bluejay
02-11-2006, 07:51 PM
Up to ep. 5 now, I can finally see it. Great show, glad I percefered.

Thank you internets for shouting about how good Heroes is. Would have passed me by otherwise.

Should I read the comics? Are they seperate sid stories or do I need them to understand things.

Shorty
02-11-2006, 11:16 PM
Peter's power is that he can use the powers of the people around him?

Dante
02-11-2006, 11:45 PM

yes & maybe can used everyone powers at the same time as well. :yay:

Peter's power is that he can use the powers of the people around him?

Thats the conclusion that I came too!

Dan Dare
03-11-2006, 09:31 AM
same here. He's basically like Rogue without the side effects.

McPhee
05-11-2006, 04:55 PM
yes & maybe can used everyone powers at the same time as well. :yay:

Thats what im thinking.

He needs to save the cheerleader because in order to defeat Syler and stop the explosion he needs to mimic all of them at the same time. Without invinsibility he'll die.
What do people think Niki's power is? Split personality isnt exactly a superpower.

Shorty
06-11-2006, 05:32 PM
What do people think Niki's power is? Split personality isnt exactly a superpower.

Her other personality is obviously super strong. She threw her hubby across a room, and ripped a dozen armed mobsters into bits

Dan Dare
06-11-2006, 06:21 PM
I think she's like The Hulk. she has a super aggressive split personality, super strength and when she wakes up she has amnesia. exactly the same as Bruce Banner. Course, the difference is in what triggers the change. the hulk comes from anger, while evil Niki looks to me like a personified survival instinct. If you think about it, every instance of her taking over has been while either her or her son have been threatened.

AshMat
06-11-2006, 07:27 PM

Dante
07-11-2006, 08:21 PM
power is technopathy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technopathy) and I think the fella with radiation powers gets killed or Sylar kills him used his power in New York.

Shorty
09-11-2006, 04:57 PM
Ep 7 was pretty decent, though I wish they would start to condense it down a little so you can follow it a bit easier. A lot of plots means little plot progression....

Dan Dare
09-11-2006, 07:41 PM
Yeah I'm thinking either episode eight is going to be incredibly intense, or the series is just going to be an elaborate set up for a more dramatic series 2...

Daniel

I agree with Shorty, there seems to be very little plot progression in each episode and i find it a bit frustrating at times but i'm still hopelessly addicted to the show :)

19-11-2006, 10:58 AM
Just caught episode 8, good but still moving a little slow... eps 3-5 were definitely where it really got going, now it's like they've had to hold back a bit so they don't rush straight through the story. Also seems like we haven't seen much of Peter and Nathan for ages.

Dan Dare
19-11-2006, 11:27 AM

Three more episode then six weeks break. :sad:


"Homecoming"
As Mr. Bennet tries to protect his daughter by any means, Claire's high school homecoming turns into a frightening night. Meanwhile, Nathan and Simone work together to find Isaac's painting for Peter. But could this key to the future lead to tragedy? Elsewhere, Hiro travels back in time to right an upsetting wrong. As Niki puts a goal in sight, Micah spends time with his dad. Still experiencing strange dreams while in India, Mohinder learns of a boy that might pull him back into his father's research.


"Six Months Ago"
As the clock turns back six months for all of the "Heroes," Mohinder's father, Chandra Suresh (guest star Erick Avari), arrives in New York to begin his quest to find individuals with extraordinary abilities, and meets someone all too eager to be special. Peter celebrates his graduation from nursing school and learns that Nathan plans to prosecute a case that could mean trouble for the entire Petrelli family. A surprise visit from her father brings out the worst in Niki. Hiro attempts to be a hero and change the future for someone important. Claire joins the cheerleading squad and makes a curious discovery. Mr. Bennet and the Haitian meet someone special.

"Fallout"
The tragic events in Texas have sad, serious repercussions for many of the "heroes," their families and friends. Meanwhile, shocking details about the moments leading up to Issac's predicted New York City nuclear bombing are revealed. Later, Issac's newest painting has fascinating future implications for a hero in crisis. Mohinder takes the first steps along his new path. Matt and F.B.I. Agent Audrey Hanson pursue a break in the Sylar case. Horrified by Jessica's recent actions, Niki makes a tough decision to protect her family.

EX-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston has landed a top role in a hit US TV show.

The actor, 42, was snapped up for sci-fi drama Heroes after the success of the Timelord revamp in the US.

Heroes tells the story of normal people with superpowers. But bosses will not reveal whether Chris will be a good or BAD guy.

Also Sylar is played by Zachary Quinto.

Dante
22-11-2006, 01:17 AM
Just remember something Dan Dare.
If Eden's power came to Peter when he meet Mohinder, which cause Peter to make Mohinder not believe anything about powers by saying you dont believe me in EP4.

Dan Dare
22-11-2006, 11:09 AM
ah that sounds a bit too intricate for Heroes. Thankfully, we're not in Lost territory and this show has, so far, chosen not to hire writers who spend more time giving each other rim jobs than trying to come up with good drama.

on the subject though, she is so incredibly beautiful. rawl :)

Heroes is coming to BBC2! After it's aired on the sci-fi channel but it's still great news, this show deserves all the exposure it can get.

Wow, Episode 10 absolutely rocked. Thought it went quite a way in explaining a lot of things, just by going back 6 months to the first few moments of each of our Heroes discovering their abilities. I won't spoil it for anyone, but after watching this, Sylar is one scary dude.

Ep 10 was Awsome, Charlie though...;-; She was awsome





and We find out Hiro's power is pretty limited now then, can't change the past himself if he does he teleports, so thats why Future Hiro told peter to savethe cheerleader to save the world becasue he can't do it.

Syler, now that surrpised me, I do liek the I can sense peopel who are broken thingy, and I do like 2 therioes one being the brain eating.

Other I read was that he takes the brain, uses his power to find out how the brain makes the user do what they can do and clicks the thing in his own brain to be able to do what they can do much better then the brain eating even though that would be cool.

Ep 11 looks epic but damn why istherra break afterwards and they weven said their going to end it on a bloody cliffhanger...bastards >>

Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears January 22. “He’s been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he’ll give us a different view into this hero world,” [Heroes creator Tim] Kring explains. “He’s big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter - albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He’ll help Peter learn to use and control his powers.”

I think they were trying to establish that there is only one timeline in this series, not multiple ones. Because the girl didn't survive first time through means hiro couldn't have gone back in time and saved her because if he had then they'd never have seen her die in the first place!

The way things were, if he was able to go back in time and actually change the past then that'd create multiple timelines that would branch away from each other, one where his buddy has already witnessed her dying and one where he sees that hiro saved her.

The only problem with this is regarding future events because hiro travelled to the future, saw issac dead and saw some kind of explosion heading towards him which hiro presumes is the nuclear blast.

Either this means issac will die and some sort of explosion will occur or it means that when Hiro travels forward in time it is merely a shadow of what could be. The past is set in stone because if Hiro were to go back and change it then he'd only experience the changed present and never the 'original' present which in effect, never existed.

That's how I interpreted it anyway.

For popular examples, Back to the future has multiple timelines whereas the time travelling bit in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban only had one. The sole timeline is much more 'perfect' but a lot harder to write well which PoA covered brilliantly.

Ep 11 looks epic but damn why istherra break afterwards and they weven said their going to end it on a bloody cliffhanger...bastards >>
It's just the way American TV seasons work. Most take a Christmas break. It's weird for us to understand because their popular tv drama type shows work in a completely different way to ours. Most of their shows will be constantly in production and being filmed as episodes go out. Sometimes even random weeks are missed without any new episodes because they're simply not ready to be aired and need time to catch up (this happened a lot with lost season 2 in particular).

Our popular series usually have fewer episodes (6-9) and are all filmed before any are aired which is why they can be shown in uninterrupted streaks.

It could be a full episode that isnt episode 12. Its happened to me before...well a wrongly labelled episode.

Edit;/ I can clarify 11 was definitely the latest.

Arse, ive got episode 11 twice, wrongly labelled!

Not read any of this thread incase it has spoilers...

I forgot about this show until I saw the title of this thread, I remember when I first heard about it I wanted to see it but never got round to it. I've just seen the first 4 episodes and I think it's absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately the site I'm watching them on doesn't have episode 5 so I'm gonna have to look around for it...

Is Heroes on tv on any uk channels now or soon?

[edit] I've just found http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/heroes.shtml where you can stream episodes - but only if you access it from America by the looks of it :( anyone know a way around that?
I think it's good that tv companies are allowing episodes to be streamed, the bbc does it too with shows like Extras.
