Heroes...the show

Faithfulservant · 02-13-2007, 12:57 AM

Anyone love it as much as I do?

Who is your favorite?

Faith,

It's my new favorite show. I used to watch Lost, but then I think the writers got more concerned with their method than they did with the actual show, and the whole thing just got really convoluted, but I love Heroes. I never miss a show. I really like Hiro, Peter, Matt, and Isaac. For a long time I really didn't like Nathan or Niki, but since the last episode it looks like Niki's plotline is being cleared up a bit and Nathan's being given a bit more depth. With the past few episodes I'm also more interested in what's going on with Claire, and I can't wait until we start to see the lives of the Heroes start to get more and more entangled. I think it's hard for me to pick a favorite. :O

Everyone in the UK, it's starting on the 19th on BBC Two at 10pm. But it's also available to watch now for free at nbc.com.

Dauer.. Im so totally not surprised you love heroes too.. we both like games so why not..

My favorites keep switching.. I love Micahs ability haha.. imagine it.

Hiro will always be a favorite.. Me and Dor were talking about Andos unrevealed ability and we think that he stunts others abilities and thats why Hiro cant time jump when they are together..

Have you watched Jericho?? Thats another favorite of ours.

Faith,

Yeah, I thought Micah's ability was pretty incredible. I had been wondering about Ando too, (I think you may be onto something) and also about Mohinder. Mohinder may not have a power, but I remember when he started discovering all that stuff about his father and his sister, and it's possible that child was another person, but I'm also wondering if it was a latent power manifesting itself in a way his mind could more readily wrestle with, by making it appear external.

I think I may have caught a couple of the first episodes of Jericho. The only other shows I really regularly watch during the week are Smallville and Supernatural, and the whole sunday night fox lineup: simpsons, family guy, american dad when I can catch it. I had been watching Lost but I just... lost interest.

Maybe Mohinders is something like Nikki and Jessicas? I thought it was cool how Matt could hear the both of them.. I can see that becoming quite the tangle..

I love the twist on Claires father.. I cant wait to see how thats going to resolve .. it would have to be something to do with the brother and oh wow her uncle saving her life.

That show frustrates me.. I wish I could wait and just buy the season so I can watch it all at the same time because I hate it how they end the show each week and you realize you have to wait an entire week to see what happens.

I watch Supernatural religiously too.. Last nights was hilarious.. I have no clue where this show is going I think thats what keeps me interested.

I also watch House.. that guy is so irritating that I cant help but laugh the whole time.

I'm still looking forward to seeing how they all get more entangled, and what that symbol means, how they aquired it. I think it's probably similar to a tag that you'd give a wild animal for tracking, but probably more to it than that. Also can't wait to see that hero they gave a sneak peek of who took on Cylar, and also the hero from the IDF.

I missed Supernatural and Smallville this past week, but generally I don't. I think they nicely fill the niche left when Buffy and then its spinoff ended. Supernatural is a bit closer to the spinoff, Angel, I think, which was darker. Smallville is brilliant marketing because it targets the type of crowd who would watch The OC or any other teen, 20something drama, and also those who would watch it because it features Superman (read geeks like me

)

I watch House too. I forgot about that one. A while ago it was starting to get too formulaic for me and I was getting bored with it, but now that they're going more into House's character it's getting better. It almost feels like right now the writers are trying to see how crooked they can make House without turning off viewers. The farthest they went I think was faking complaince during the trial when he was still abusing drugs. That actually got me upset, but I'm glad they did it. There are too many shows whose writers are just following all the trope to satisfy viewer expectations.

House makes me mad all the time.. I got mad on the recent one where the girl was raped and got pregnant. He was pushing her to get an abortion and she didnt want to for religious purposes.. well he got his way at the end... It hit home for me personally because when I was 18 I got pregnant (not from rape) I went to planned parenthood because it was sliding fee scale and they pushed so hard for me to abort the pregnancy.. they used scare tactics like saying I would ruin my life and giving me statistics that I wouldnt suceed in life.. I finally flat out told them no on reasons of religion and that I would contact an attorney if they didnt leave off.

I didnt see clips of someone taking on sylar.. How exciting hehe. That guy is pure evil..

I missed watching smallville.. it will probably be one that I watch the seasons.

I loved buffy/angel.. and charmed of course.. Hey did you ever watch Xena? if not I highly recommend you watch the seasons of them think there are 7. I was faithful watching it when it was on and when they started packaging the seasons I bought them as they came out.. its so great watching the characters develop.. its still one of my favorite all time shows.

Why did I read this? I live in the UK and I'm realy looking forwards to the series... Ah, Xena, there's a series. Despite my age I had one hell of a crush on Calisto...

dauer · 02-18-2007, 06:51 PM

I watched Hercules first and then Xena. Those shows were great. Awesome sense of humor to them. And the way they worked in the myth was really fun. In Herc I really liked the original Zeus, the actor who passed away.

hey dont worry we barely touched on how great that show is.. its highly addictive and it caters to all types of people.. the makers are genious.

Callisto was also one of my favorites..

I love how her character played out and especially at the end when she was reborn into Eve

Hey Dauer did you know that the guy who played Aries on Xena also passed away? It was accidental on some set... I guess it happened right in the middle of the last season.

pfw · 02-23-2007, 11:40 PM

Seen the first two episodes (it's on Sci Fi in the UK). It's great. I've not been so intrigued and entertained by anything as much on TV for as long as I can remember (ok, Faescape, Firefly...). Easily the best thing on TV at the moment- it even 'dares' to have a little fun with the concept (scifi and fantasy can be so po-faced at times).

So far Hiro's my favorite character.

Faithfulservant · 02-24-2007, 01:06 AM

He was mine from the beginning.. it only gets better too!

I saw a 20 - 30 min self absorbed advert on some guy... That was enough for me.... I guess not only how self absorbed he was, but the fact that a show I wanted to see SHOULD have been on... but was delayed by this advert/biography... thing.

Faithfulservant · 04-16-2007, 05:36 PM

What guy?

17th Angel · 04-17-2007, 09:20 AM

Sendhil Ramamurthy.. To begin with he was all humble and how this was his big break and then he became more cocky and big headed as it went on and just all I saw when he was talking was; "Me, me me me me... ME!!! meeeeee, me me... me me me.... Me." Ugh... So I turned over to watch anything... And every 2mins kept turning back to see my show and it was still him!

lol... It seems like a justice league ;\
