Anyone else on board with this yet?

First two episodes were a little bit of a snorer, but it's getting untracked. Last week's was pretty great.

Not Crap a few points for the slow start.

Not crap.

Not crap. There are moments where it seems kind of hokey but the ending of last week's episode was pretty gnarly; I was worried that Hiro was always going to be a dork.

Last Sunday I watched the replay of episodes 2-4, then I watched 5, and downloaded 1-5 to watch them all again. So many things to take in, but I'm really liking this show so far. Trying to figure out who's good, and who's evil! Who is Syler?!? And so many fan sites to geek out on!

NOT CRAP!


By the way, has anyone been keeping up with the online comics? They provide some decent back stories for each episode. This weeks comic gives some of the back story for DL.



2 - One for making stupid mistakes mixing present/future, and one for that awful, awful "Save the cheerleader, save the world". It just sounds so terribly corny.

I'm a card carrying comic book geek, so it's going to take this show a lot for me not to like it.

I think it's doing a pretty good job so far. I agree it took a few episodes to get going, but I'm enjoying it now. I really liked how the guy just took off into the sky at the beginning of the last episode.

They did screw up an xmen reference. Hiro said something about xmen 143 being a time-traveling issue. Everyone knows it was 141-142.

Not Crap.

I just saw that Sean Bean(!) is playing a character named "Paul Sylar" in future episodes.

Edit: This has turned out to be false, damn!

Sean Bean is listed as Paul Sylar on imdb. Is that where you saw it, or somewhere else? That would bring the show up another notch in my book!

Yeah, the problem with IMDb is a lot of idiots can just edit erroneous info. into it like the Wikipedia; his agent has denied that he will be in the show.. or so they say at 9th Wonders.

I see, I did not know that about imdb. Ah well....


So what did you fine folks think of this past week's episode? I was pretty intent on thinking that Mr. Bennett was somehow tied up with Sylar, or was just plain evil. But after this weeks episode, I'm not so sure.

Maybe he works for the government? What do you think?

The twist they put in mid-way through the episode was capital. As for Mr. Bennett, his concern about the "save the cheerleader" comment certainly had me thinking maybe he's not as sinister as he acts.
