Anyone watch the premire tonight?

I fell asleep this afternoon and woke up about halfway through so I only caught the last half. I liked what I saw. A bit heavy handed with the whole "destined for something greater" vibe, but I'll definitely try to remember to watch in the future.

I haven't watched it yet, but I'll just wait to download it. Commercial-free videos are the way to go

I saw a little and it seemed alright. The problem is there doesn't seem like enough to pull me back in. Once you see that they are superheroes in the Unbreakable since (about as realistic as you can make them without going over the top), there's not a whole lot go off of once you see and accept that they have powers. The idea's cool, but I really wasn't feeling the characters enough to care beyond that idea. After the trailer for the remaider of the series you pretty much can piece everything together from there, at least that's how it feels.

Part of the problem is they may have too much to introduce in the first episode or two. You can't really flesh things out enough and have to hope the sheer quantity makes up for it.

I'm extremely curious. But I just hope it doesn't take a Lost season 2 turn.

Xessive · « **Reply #4 on:** Tuesday, September 26, 2006, 12:42:46 PM »

I just watched it, and I like it so far! I loved the end of it too!

scottws · « **Reply #5 on:** Wednesday, September 27, 2006, 09:49:41 AM »

I thought it was pretty decent. I loved the Japanese dudes!

Xessive · « **Reply #6 on:** Wednesday, September 27, 2006, 12:25:19 PM »

Oi Spocku! Death-Grippu Spocku! Death-Grippu!!

Haha they were cool

I can't wait to see how Hiro's powers develop.

I haven't watched Lost, but Evangeline Lilly has been on my top 10 list of sexy ladies for a while.

Antares · « **Reply #9 on:** Wednesday, October 04, 2006, 07:01:24 PM »

I thought the second episode was better than the first. The characters all had to deal with the consequences of their actions. Interesting stuff.

The first season was awesome. Just great. Then the second season just....lost its spark or something. I just didn't care anymore. But that's just me, though.

gpw11 · « **Reply #11 on:** Thursday, October 05, 2006, 01:25:17 AM »

Ok, I'm watching the second episode right now and I really need help. Minor spoilers:

In the scene with the cop who can hear the kid or something, who is the blonde fbi agent/cop/cia whatever. The one with short hair and freckles. It's really annoying me that I can't figure oout what she's from.

gpw11 · « **Reply #12 on:** Thursday, October 05, 2006, 01:28:48 AM »

Nevermind, it's the chick from Carnivale.

MysterD · « **Reply #13 on:** Thursday, October 05, 2006, 06:56:07 AM »

I liked the pilot of this show Heroes. It was good -- and one of the better shows on TV.

Too bad I miss'd this past Monday's new episode. I wonder when it'll be replayed...

Xessive · « **Reply #14 on:** Thursday, October 05, 2006, 12:12:40 PM »

You can always download it

I caught it on TV, but I figure this is one show I'd like to keep on disk COMMERCIAL-FREE!

Antares · « **Reply #15 on:** Friday, October 06, 2006, 03:36:34 PM »

nbc.com had the option to stream the premire. Not sure if they did it for the second episode. I never tried it, so I have no idea how many commercials there were and if the quality sucked or not.

Xessive · « **Reply #16 on:** Monday, October 16, 2006, 11:48:03 PM »

Has anyone seen the 4th episode yet? It's entitled "Collision." The end of it was awesome! Not that much was going but we get a bit of foreshadowing! Holy monkey!

Antares · « **Reply #17 on:** Monday, October 23, 2006, 08:14:08 PM »

Anyone still watching? Best episode ever tonight.

Xessive · « **Reply #18 on:** Monday, October 23, 2006, 08:34:50 PM »

Oh man, I just watched the 5th episode.. Awesome. Awesome to the MAX!

gpw11 · « **Reply #19 on:** Monday, October 23, 2006, 10:09:34 PM »

I think I like the show more than Lost right now, and that says quite a bit. Fuck, tv got a lot more awesome since the reality phase dropped. I went from only watching hockey games to watching pretty much at least one show a night.

You must motherfucking save the cheerleader.

Cobra951 · « **Reply #20 on:** Tuesday, October 24, 2006, 07:40:49 AM »

OK, my curiousity got peaked enough. I found a torrent with the 1st 4 episodes, and I'm getting it now.

I do hope this doesn't follow the Lost formula too closely, meaning plot development so slow that watching buns rise in the oven seems like a blur by comparison.

Cobra951 · « **Reply #21 on:** Saturday, October 28, 2006, 06:14:35 AM »

OK, managed to get & watch all 5 episodes. Definitely interesting, although I see cliches already rearing their ugly heads. The obligatory dark conspiracy in particular irks me, although this one seems not to be so one-dimensionally evil. Maybe it will pan out. I'm definitely watching more episodes. So, when's the next one?

I know what you mean

I'm beginning to see a Xavier VS Magneto sort of plot! I never really considered Magneto purely evil, he's reacting to a hatred and a fear.

Next episode should be out on Monday. I think the first season will only be 8 episodes, and based on the ratings of the whole season NBC will decide whether or not they'll continue. By the looks of things so far, there will very likely be more seasons.

Cobra951 · « **Reply #23 on:** Sunday, October 29, 2006, 08:37:04 AM »

8 episodes? Shit . . . That means they won't get anywhere, at the rate it's going. I'll keep watching though, for now.

ren · « **Reply #24 on:** Monday, October 30, 2006, 02:27:25 PM »

I just finished the 5th episode, which means that I'm all caught up, right?

Future Hiro was badass with his little goatee and huge samurai sword!

Oh yeah! I even like the little geeky Hiro

HxCeddie · « **Reply #27 on:** Monday, October 30, 2006, 06:50:22 PM »

I really really really want to watch this show because everyone is talking about it, but I need to catch up.

ren · « **Reply #28 on:** Monday, October 30, 2006, 08:52:40 PM »

I liked today's episode. The show seems to get better as it goes. If it wasn't for the hype I would've stopped after the first 2, which are only mediocre.

gpw11 · « **Reply #29 on:** Monday, October 30, 2006, 09:57:46 PM »

Starts here in about 3 min. I"m pretty pumped.

gpw11 · « **Reply #30 on:** Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 01:11:08 AM »

Awesome. By the way, I had no idea about this before, but apparently every time a new episode comes out NBC releases a free 'graphic novel' for download. They aren't recaps, but rather fill in the back story a bit. Check them out here:

You can get pdf files at the wikipedia page as well:

Sweet!

ren · « **Reply #32 on:** Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 03:10:51 PM »

I'm not that big on comics, but free comics to support the show is just cool.

and just for bragging rights, rotating my monitor into portrait mode lets you see the whole page at once at a readable level, it's awesome.

WindAndConfusion · « **Reply #33 on:** Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 08:03:21 PM »

What is this, network television? Eh, I'll grab it off bit-torrent, but I'll probably just come back after it's over with one of those crotchety-old-man "TV is the collapse of civilization" rants.

WindAndConfusion · « **Reply #34 on:** Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 11:23:01 PM »

That dialogue is amazing. I can't find hideous invective strong enough to describe it.

gpw11 · « **Reply #35 on:** Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 11:57:32 PM »

invective....word a day calender?

I don't think I've heard anyone use that in a sentence since a 200 level english class....and probably only that once. Impressive.
