Heroes - a new addiction?

[straycat]

Well - during my convalescing period, browsing the web, I came across this new series, which was getting some nice reviews.

So, being a true geek, I downloaded an episode, and watched it.
Then another. Then all of them. Currently on episode eight - there've been nine so far. Anyone else seen anything of this? So far, I'm seriously, seriously impressed - and completely hooked - I can't think of anything else which has drawn me in like this since Firefly. (OK - so it's not quite THAT good, but it's good...)

No idea when (whether) it comes out in this country though.

I thought this was about chocolate.

Was gonna talk about my packet of Cadbury's Orange Snaps I'm eating at the moment.

Aren't Snaps the best - I love Pringles but sometimes get a chocolate urge and Cadbury Snaps are the perfect combination of both

and here was me thinking it was about Warwick

will have to check out your link.. looks "interesting"

[Yliander]

oooo looks interesting - wonder if it will make it on to TV in the UK - will have to download the episodes

[Freya]

My Brother gave it to me after he downloaded it!

Now I'm addicted! Unfortunately can't download it up here in Elgin!

[straycat]

Small update - I've now downloaded and watched all nine episodes (next one is on Monday)

Completely, utterly, absolutely hooked. Forget Lost - this is waaay better
A lot quicker at handing out answers too...

First episode on SciFi tonight at 10pm - then on the Beeb in a couple of months I think...

Thanks for the link. I'll look out for that.

Seems its about everyday people who discover that they have special powers, for example: "In Japan, a young man develops a way to stop time through sheer will power"

Its amazing what some people will do to get noticed.

I can sometimes go for 1-2 hours without eating through sheer will power.

Guess I'll have to set my sights a little higher if I'm to achieve any kind of recognition.

Seen the first 15 episodes now, and I've managed to get more than half my office hooked (and a few others) - to the point where I get threatened with violence if I don't deliver new episodes on time ('on time' sometimes being before they're aired, which is a little unfair...)

Looking forward to the BBC2 debut - the pressure might be off then

Still the best series since Firefly.

Apparently this "Heroes" thing is something that I should be watching. I might get around to it at some stage .

The first episode is on the Sci-Fi UK web site.

I missed it on Monday, so I hoped I could catch it either on the web site, or in a "re-run" during the week.

But there seems to be two episodes on tonight at 9.00 and 10.10 – "Genesis", and "Don't Look Back".

Did the Sci-Fi channel show two episodes on Monday?

I'm confused.

[Gadget]

yes they did

[David Bailey]

Did the Sci-Fi channel show two episodes on Monday?

Yes, they showed the first two as a double bill - was repeated yesterday, and I guess tonight as well.

I love the scifiuk.com heroes registration options:

• I've already registered with scifiuk.com, because I'm clever.
• No worries, I'll register now. Bring on the Heroes goodness!

[ducasi]

yes they did

OK, so just watching the first episode on the web isn't enough.

Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight... (That's right! Working out how to work my video recorder again! )

(Thanks Gadget and DJ for the info. )

Woohoo! New series started in the States yesterday....

And I now have the first one. Where's that oh-so-smug smiley when you need it?

[TA Guy]

Great series. Like a lot of US shows, the back plot is quite weak and goes on and on with nothing much happening, but aside from that, my 2nd fav show ATM. Episode 1 of series 2 is just out as well Doh! Straycat beat me to it.

'Eureka' is quite a good sci-fi'ish show as well, tho not so action'y.

I quite like the backstory of Heroes - I think it's very well thought out and executed.

The latest one to have hooked me though is Dexter. Extremely dark, twisted, but wonderful. Hope it makes it over here.

Just to add to the excitement Greys anatomy, House and Bones have Re-started this week Too!
