Prison break is great but Heroes is turning into a really awesome show. Love this show.

And just now they showed Nicole's father reading Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan...the same book I'm currently reading which is sitting right in front of me. Killer.

well I'm 99% sure it was Vonnegut

move along

jeph loeb is the executive producer of that heroes show, he started out in comics. I remember he had a run on Cable that was outstanding because it moved him away from being a stupid Rob Liefeld "he's like a big guy that shoots stuff with his big gun! Oh and he used to be a mercenary that's so cool!" cliche.

I don't care for Dl, his son and that blonde girl nikki? I don't know they're the most boring characters on this show and the little boy annoys the crap outta me.

My least favorite out of all the shows I watch, but I've started it since day one, and ill finish it. :[

Man. I always get jealous of people in different time zones that get to see the new eps before I do. But I agree, Meekz, Heroes is an awesome show. Although I've been hooked from day one, I wasn't going into it expecting <i>too</i> much. I thought it surely would have disappointed me by now, but it's never left me wanting anything but more. It's just too bad we get such crap reception on our tv that watching segments with Hiro and Ando are basically pointless.

I didn't care for them too much, either, at first. The little boy doesn't annoy me, but he's not my favorite by any means, either. What I started to like about their story is the potential conflict between "good hero" and "bad hero." I think it could make for some really interesting story developments. It would be boring if all the main "heroes" were good.

I think my favorite hero, though it changes often, is consistently Matt. Is that the right name? The police guy who can read minds. I love his episode bits the most.

It's not like lost where they just leave questions unanswered, they're actually explaining the why these things are happening. Hiro is the man, it's going to be awesome watching him turn into his future playa hata status. For a season that has mainly focused on character development it has been vastly entertaining.

sure looks that way. I'm thinking he may find the abnormalities in the other 'hero's' brains and he finds a way to rearrange his own brain to match their brain. He's gonna be a bad motha....

Also, I wonder how the cheerleader's dad hooked up with that black dude

A new take on comic book superheroes, WOOHOO. How many times has the concept of people acquiring extraordinary powers and then having to use them to help society, out of the whole 'responsibility that comes with power' thing, been exploited? This show seriously has some of the worst, sappiest and hollow dialogue I've ever heard, and I couldn't dream of a worse idea or name for a show. But keep watching and I'm sure everything will come together like a Harry Potter dream come true.

The dialogue's never bothered me too much so much as specific characters. Though whenever Nikki opens her mouth something ridiculous and trite usually comes out. "When I look in the mirror, I see someone ELSE looking back at me..." :erm:

The only person who I really want to murder on that show is Matt's boss, the broad with the blonde hair. God, she's the worst. I can't stand her voice and her stupid moonface.

what are the black dudes powers? the chick that can say shit and people just do it... he was in the room and the cheerleaders dad was all, fuck you i aint lettin you go.

and then he went into the hospital room a few episodes back and erased the memory of the guy that tried to rape the cheerleader.

i have no idea whats going on in this show, but i like it and keep waching it.

and next weeks is the last new episode until after new years. motherfucks. that means it's going against 24. thank god for dvr's.

^ I didn't understand your post so I assume it pertains to tonight's ep which I'm yet to see, but there are two black guys. The guy that hangs out with Mr. Bennet (the cheerleader's dad) has the power to erase people's memories. The guy that has the son with the bipolar white trash broad has the power to phase.

It's the only TV show I watch right now. I haven't followed a TV show like this since...X-Files maybe? I agree that I hate the DL/Nikki storyline (I don't care about that freakin kid), and I'm not a huge fan of Nathan Petrelli (his brother is still kind of a mystery though, so that's cool). The cheerleader is hot and it's nice to finally know who Sylar is and why he's killing the Heroes.

The dialogue and some of the acting bothers me if I let it, but I just try and screen it out, gag the cynical monologue in my head, and enjoy it. Which was working for a while. I thought it was getting better and better, all coming together well, but I've started to lose interest a bit now. I'll probably keep watching, though. The voiceover bits at the start and end really grate on my nerves, though. All that "For every wish there is a moment, every person, a place. Are we more than the sum of our parts, or does Destiny drag us round like an old dog..." type crap.

heroes is pretty good, last week's show when they showed the homecoming night was the best of the series so far.
