Heroes (new series on NBC)

[Séguin]

I don't usually watch much tv (aside from all new Family Guy). But this was kind of interesting. Anyone else catch it last night?

Yeah I watched it and although it started a little slow it picked up pretty good. The little preview of what's coming made me even more interested. It showed the japanese guy reading about himself in a comic book.... so someone is writing about them already.

It looks like it's going to take the route of 'Lost' and have all sorts of strange mysteries that we need to try and figure out.

Overall I'm pretty stoked on this one.... already looking forward to next Monday!

[Séguin]

haha, the little japanese dude is my favourite.

[cubed]

The little japanese guy rules!!!

So far this is turning out to be a really good series.

I think this will go a similar route to lost where there will be some serious character development and some huge plot twists.

Hopes are high for this one.

I noticed in the credits that the series is written by Jeph Loeb who is a very well established comic book writer who has written many series in both the Marvel and DC universes. The fact that he's involved in this production pretty much guarantees a solid story line!

[Séguin]

that would explain why its available as a comic too.

I like the use of product placment in the plot of last night's episode. I laughed. Hiro demanded that he must rent a Nissan Versa. The show is sponsered by Nissan and that's what car they're pushing right now.

tonights episode was pretty rad.

who would have thought that hiro could become a badass!

[Séguin]

heh, ya. maybe he goes all yakuza on us.

This show keeps getting better. Good character development. I haven't been disapointed yet.

[Gusto]

favourite show on tv for sure.

[diva]

I'm about to start watching the first episode. Every excited about this show.

For those of you who can't download the episodes, NBC is going to air a three episode marathon on the 22nd.

Hiro was totally bad ass at the end!!

As the stories intertwine even more this series is gong to get better and better!

[Séguin]

I'm just glad the reality show craze is coming to a close to make way for stuff like this.

I couldn't agree more.... I despise reality TV with every fibre of my being. I just can't understand how so many people can be hooked on 'fake' reality shows for one.

Second, I don't see how people would want to watch a show where people break down and do nothing but nasty things to others. The competition basis for most of them turns people into back stabbers, connivers, and jerks. I really figure that most of these shows cater to the lowest common denominator of white trash America....

[Séguin]

Here's my beef with reality shows. Ever look at the credit roll? They have like 3-6 directors each. How the fuck is that reality? lol

just keep saying it shawn.

ps. i'm going to poison you.

[RiCeY]

I like Hiro (Jap guy) and the Neutregena commercial girl (Cheerleader)

[diva]

The cheerleader also used to be a child actress on a soap opera.

I'm all caught up and loving this show.

[Gusto]
