Lycaon Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 ps whats that heroes one bout? someone make a thread. Ask, and ye shall receive. http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813715/ From creator/writer Tim Kring (NBC's "Crossing Jordan") comes "Heroes," an epic drama that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, a genetics professor (Sendhil Ramamurthy, "Blind Guy Driving") in India is led by father's disappearance to uncover a secret theory -- there are people with super powers living among us. A young dreamer (Milo Ventimiglia, "Gilmore Girls") tries to convince his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar, "Judging Amy") that he can fly. A high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, "Ice Princess") learns that she is totally indestructible. A Las Vegas stripper (Ali Larter, "Final Destination"), struggling to make ends meet to support her young son (Noah Gray-Cabey, "My Wife & Kids"), discovers that her mirror image has a secret. A fugitive from justice (Leonard Roberts, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") continues to baffle authorities who twice have been unable to contain him. A gifted artist (Santiago Cabrera, "Empire"), whose drug addiction is destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend (Tawny Cypress, NBC's "Third Watch"), can paint the future. A down-on-his-luck Los Angeles beat cop (Greg Grunberg, "Alias") can hear people's thoughts, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. In Japan, a young man (Masi Oka, NBC's "Scrubs") develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world… Joining Kring as executive producer are Dennis Hammer (NBC's "Crossing Jordan") and Allan Arkush (NBC's "Crossing Jordan"). David Semel ("House") executive-produced and directed the pilot. The drama is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio. If you missed the premiere last night there's a scheduled rebroadcast tonight at 8/7c, a download on the NBC weblink above, and probably torrents. I haven't watched it yet (taped it), what did yall think about it? Quote
Silent Bob Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I only caught the last ten minutes or so while I was waiting for Studio 60 to come on, but it looked intriguing enough that I'm gonna try to catch the encore. Quote
crimsonfire Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 This sounds pretty good. Any idea when\if itd be comin to irish shores? Quote
Reverend Jax Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I saw the whole thing, and I was annoyed by the first episode's total lack of closure. They did not go for the rushed origin story so as to have a brand new adventure for episode 2. Other than that, it was awesome. The story is starting off really interesting, and I recommend to anyone who likes superhero comics (particularly x-men or the ultimates or watchmen) to check out teh encore presentation. Quote
archangel Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 when is it? (please don't say it competes with House) Quote
Reverend Jax Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 when is it? (please don't say it competes with House) If only the answer lied within this thread. If you missed the premiere last night there's a scheduled rebroadcast tonight at 8/7c, Quote
archangel Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 BLAST! Guess i'm missing it, then. Quote
Lycaon Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 BLAST! Guess i'm missing it, then. Shame there's not the possibility of watching it online... If you missed the premiere last night there's a scheduled rebroadcast tonight at 8/7c, a download on the NBC weblink above, and probably torrents. Quote
soldier of fortune Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Sounds like a good concept IMO... wait and see when it comes to ireland, say probably in the spring schedule! Quote
Lycaon Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 So its almost at tht third epsiode now, and I'm enjoying it. Anyone else? If you still haven't seen it, I believe the first two epsiodes are available on the NBC site llisted at the first post of this thread. There's also been a small comic that's been going around the last two DCP torrents about this series (I believe its also available on the NBC site). So... talk amongst yourselves. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 The second episode was more of the same. More answers, more questions, more characters, more development, it's building up to something potentially very good, I hope they deliver on the potential. Quote
The NZA Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Watchin the pilot tonight, lookin forward to it. Quote
BestkeptSecret Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I have both episodes -ed!!!!! Panch and I STILL haven't gotten around to watching it. Just like the final episode of Who Wants To be A Superhero...since Panch knows the Stirpper guy didn't make it- he refuses to watch the ending. Grrrr..... Quote
The NZA Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Yeah, i felt that way about Ty. Caught the first one....its a comic, yeah, but a generic one, and i honestly wasnt left interested. Ill wait to hear from you guys to see if it delivers down the road or not before i continue. Quote

Reverend Jax Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 true dat. I'm really curious as to what the inter-character dynamic is going to be once they start meeting each other. Quote

The NZA Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 ...are we watching the same show? that pilot was weak. I cant see how this is getting compared to Watchment or any book like it. How many episodes past that is it? Are the characters somehow less generic later on? Quote
