first season....but then it got beyond me...I can't keep up with serials, can't dedicate myself to not missing a program. I watch sporadically and either my brain is insufficient or you need a regular dose of this stuff to understand it. (had the same issue with lost, ie I was.)

I hope I can catch it tonight, but I may miss some of it. I'm meeting up with my parents and sister for some yummy Thai food.

Re: Heroes!

'The Stand...' By Steven King is the ultimate Good Vs Evil battle....

I watched a few of the heroes, and just it didn't take on me... :/

Re: Heroes!

That was awesome. The lines are becoming so much more ambiguous, between right and wrong, good and evil. I lurv it. The characters are evolving. I thought that thing with Suresh was an allusion to The Fly, when he climbed up the wall and all that, that is the one with Jeff Goldblum, and based on what happened later I think I was right, though it's still unclear what he's becoming.

Re: Heroes!

We're getting Series III 'coming soon' as they say — part of the Autumn (Fall to you) Schedules ... can't wait! To say we're hooked in our house can sometimes be an understatement.

Sometimes, with just a minute to spare, someone will call out "Save the cheerleader!" and it's a race to the sofa ...

What series will you be watching?

Re: Heroes!

Season 3 starting without us Brits? Typical!!

Loved Season 1 - the build up was excellent, but the ending was a bit of an anticlimax - Peter is the most powerful "hero" but excepting for "save the cheerleader", never seems to have really tried to do much heroic (especially in the Season 1 finale).

Season 2 kind of dithered for a while, but luckily managed to recover itself towards the end. It was a bit worrying what happened to Mr Bennett, because now they have the ability to resurrect anybody, and that's a dangerous precedent.

But...I'll be hopeful.

Re: Heroes!

Oi! Brian!

I'm in London, mate ... we're getting trailers for Series III, which I assume will be BBC 2?

PS: (Have you ever heard that standup routine that's just a bloke shouting to someone off-stage: "Dave! ... Dave! ... ... ... Oi, Dave! ... ... Dave! ... (sadly, doesn't work too well in print, but I laughed like a drain!!!) very cockney, not sure if it travels)

Not my cuppa tea Heroes. I like Lost though, and looking forward to the new series.

Re: Heroes!

I'm pretty sure the UK run starts on the 1st of October on BBC 2. If you don't want to wait, all the episodes go online the day after they air in the US: Heroes | Watch Episodes Online for Free - Heroes TV Show on NBC: NBC Official Site

There are two episodes from last night, actually. They played back to back. They're bringing in quite a few apocalyptic themes it seems. I'm not going to say anything more than that on account of spoilers.

Re: Heroes!

I clicked in for a minute early on it was three hours...it appeared the first hour was a discussion with the cast and a synopsis of the story so far and explanation of the characters and powers (an attempt to get me to watch more that didn't work) I think the second hour was the end of last season and the third the beginning of this one?? (assumptions I made during my brief stay in hour one)
