NBC really added some good shows this year to their lineup. I'm loving Heroes. It's the new LOST as far as mysteries and unknowns and solid characters.

Hail the Conquering 'Heroes'
NBC series is season's first pickup
October 6, 2006

LOS ANGELES -- NBC has a mixed track record so far this season, but one show, "Heroes," has been as close to a breakout hit as any new series on the air.

Not surprisingly, then, the network has decided to stick with the show for a full season. "Heroes" becomes the first new series on any network to get its back nine episodes picked up.

"'Heroes' has delivered exceptional ratings since its premiere, and we're even more impressed with the quality of the upcoming episodes," NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says. "We have complete confidence in creator-executive producer Tim Kring. The best is yet to come over the course of a full season with this newest drama sensation."

...

Through its first two airings, the series has averaged 13.5 million viewers and a very solid 5.7 rating among adults 18-49. The 18-49 number is the best in its 9 p.m. Monday timeslot and tied with ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" for the best performance of any new show this season. "Heroes" has also been more of a self-starter, building substantially on its lead-in ("Deal or No Deal" each week, whereas "Brothers & Sisters" has the advantage of airing after "Desperate Housewives."

...

"Heroes" has been easily the brightest spot among NBC's new shows thus far. Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" had brought in only so-so ratings following "Heroes" on Mondays, and the net's other two dramas, "Kidnapped" and "Friday Night Lights," are struggling. Two new comedies, "30 Rock" and "Twenty Good Years," debut next week.

There have been two scenes that had people with missing brains that Sylar was at (one was in the future with the artist).

I wonder if Sylar has the Rogue-like abilities, but he has to eat their brains or something similar (he's apparently killed lots of people with power already).

And is Sylar the black guy (he had that symbol on his chest)? Wouldn't think a network would make the the bad guy a black guy in this day and age of Political correctness.

I doubt the black guy is the bad guy and I'm assuming Silas is cleansing the human race of his kind. Good show so far, the Japanese guys crack me up specially Hiro.

I was hesitant to watch because i figured it would just be an X-men rip-off.

However, the characters are likeable (especially Hiro) and the backstory (or link) is interesting. I love the guessing game so far.

And Silar is creepy as hell.

I love the possibilities for moral ambiguity among the "heroes"

Basketball Fan

I think Sylar (however you spell it) is the "patient zero" that the indian doc was tracking down. I think he has all the powers that the others have combined. The Heros will have to get together to defeat him.

It's a cool show.

But what is with the tortured wall writings?

Can Siler/Sylar not control himself? Does he have an alter ego/split personality as well?

The writings indicate he is sorry afterwards for what he does.

I thought the first couple of episodes were OK, but last night's was great. It got me hooked to the show. I'm glad NBC is starting to get the ratings back.

I don't think he is either, but I'm thinking he has some kind of power because the cop could not read his mind in the bar. I guess he could just have not been thinking anything, but it seemed different. Like *total* silence.

Right now, Tail has me sold on his explanation. I'm hooked as well.

Gotta love Nissan getting a Versa promo into the show.

This was the one show that I told myself I wasnt going to watch because I thought it looked stooopid (with 3 O's) then the other day the pilot came on USA and I made the mistake of watching it...

Now I'm hooked. It may move slow but I think that is part of the charm. They make you think you can figure it out, then right before you think you have it...BAM...they change it up!

This is my new LOST, although nothing could ever replace LOST...

Maybe Syler is being forced to track down the Heroes (by cheerleader dad) and feels bad about it.

Edit. I need to think about that more, because he's pretty brutal to say the least when he kills folks. Maybe I'll just keep watching....

I am beginning to believe the cheerleaders dad is a good guy...

Other than him doing a little BNE, has he done anything wrong?

I believe Sylar killed the Mohinders dad

And, the Cheerleaders Dad, is working to learn more about these guys for one reason or another.

What is so special about the little girl? There is a reason they want her so badly and a reason that the cop could hear her voice so strongly?

Thoughts on her importance or is she just another "human"?



Let's Hug It Out B*tch - Ari Gold

There might not be anything special with the little girl, maybe she saw Silar(s) face and he wants to get rid of her. Maybe she has some sort of powers.

MY question, is who are the kids parents? Did they say, or will we find out later?

A few thoughts:

Silar wanted the little girl because she is genetically linked to her dad. I think Silar is trying to eradicate all "mutants" and potential "mutants."

Why is Suresh trusting his neighbor so much? His dad was murdered and someone tried to bug his apartment. "Little Miss Sunshine" shows up and he spills everything to her. I don't trust her.

Which character is going to have super strength? You got to have someone with super strength! My guess is that it's the black guy from the first photo who has not been introduced yet.

The little kid who is traveling with his mom will play a big role later. Remember how they showed him fixing/soldering something in the first show?

Does the black lady (far right in the photo) have powers?

If you read the Graphic Novels on the website, you will see that Mohinders father was killed by a "monster" not by the Mr. Bennett.

Isn't the black guy in the picture of the first post the same black guy as the one in the bar before the cop passes out? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to go to nbc.com and check.

Also, the black lady in the far right seems to not have any super powers, but she is romantically linked to the little brother that can fly and the drug addict artist who can see the future.


dam

Is the black guy in the bar, "lasvegasniki"'s baby's daddy?

Me thinks so.

Ooooohhh... I bet you're right, Ingo.

I imagine so...and hes on the picture starting the thread next to both of them so....

anyone know where you can see any of the missed episodes?? i missed it yesterday.

The guy that was in the bar and the guy in the picture on the first page are not the same guy. All the people in the picture on the first page are the Heroes.

I agree with the poster that said that guy we haven't seen yet will have super strength. You can't have superheroes and not have someone who is strong.

Episodes are available on ITunes, and I think you can get them at nbc.com

You can catch it again on Fridays at 6:00pm Central Time on the Sci Fi channel.

do you have to pay for it on itunes or nbc?

6 pm thanks i will try to remember

ITunes yes, its free on NBC.com if they are still doing it.

i just watched last night's episode, & holy crap. that was a great episode.

i think the black guy in the bar is working w/the cheerleader's dad to find these "special" people, but i don't think they are good guys.

i think sylar is the ultimate one, who has an alter-ego, like ali larter's character, & kills off any other mutant type people. the little girl must have some sort of power that sylar knows about, thats why he wants to find her.

i don't know, but its awesome.

so i wonder what ali larter's character son has going on & what the grandmother has going on? she thinks her husband killed those people, but i think she did & just doesn't remember.

how is the cheerleader going to explain being alive????? or does she just flee???

love this show...

Holy hell that show is allsome!!

I think the black guy (the guy from the first page) is that kids father too!

The girl is def gonna have to run. No other way to explain that one. She is done with her life there. She will get help from her computer nerd.
