Heroes
 
Hmm...I don't know what I'm going to watch until the new Lost episodes start being airing again on February 7, 2006. Maybe I'll give NBC's Heros a look.

Barkworm 11-15-2006 10:30 AM

Yeah, you should definitely check it out, a very interesting show so far!

Anarky 11-15-2006 12:35 PM

Heroes is awesome. It breaks a lot of taboos firmly established by the comic book industry and it has an awesome story to tell so far. Besides, we still don't know who the goodies and the baddies are.

Barkworm 11-17-2006 02:42 AM

The only major problem with Heroes is that some of the actors are just plain out horrible. Especially Mohinder and his fake Indian crew... :dead: The less we see of them, the better.

Duke 11-22-2006 07:48 AM

Okay...so I caught up on heroes and I must say it's pretty good. I love the style of the show, and most of the characters are very interesting. I say most because as of now I really don't like Nikki/Jessica, I kind of just find her annoying. Although, I think she probably has the most potential as a character, so I'm sure I'll like her eventually.

Barkworm 11-22-2006 08:19 AM

The show has lots of stuff that annoys me like bad acting (I think Mohinder is getting even worse) and cheesy dialogue (the "save the cheerleader, save the world" line is sooo awful). Still I really, really enjoy the show. Especially Hiro and Ando!

Raven 11-22-2006 10:46 AM

Its the only show I watch right now, it has a very interesting story that keeps you guessing every week. Hiro has to be my favorite character at the moment, he's just so funny (plus he looks really bad ass in the future).

Duke 11-22-2006 01:24 PM

Yeah, Hiro is the greatest. I love his positive attitude.

Anarky 11-22-2006 03:23 PM

Fake Indian Posse for the win! "Yoooh ollrrreddy haf yooorrr ansurrrr!"

Anyways, I can't wait for the next episode. Damn them and their "To be continued"-bollocks.

Hiro is fun, but his japanese-speak annoys me. It's hard to listen to him for longer periods of time, since he's getting very annoying quickly. And whatever were they thinking when they gave Micah powers? Nobody likes kids on adult superheroteams. Just look at Justin, the Blue Ranger from Power Rangers Turbo, or the new X-kids who were at the Xavier school at some point. Blarh, kids shouldn't be allowed on telly.

Barkworm 11-22-2006 03:58 PM

Hey, I LOVE that kid! I think his acting is totally awesome.

Anarky 11-22-2006 04:14 PM

I say we replace the kid with a rock which has a face drawn on it and let a guy on Helium do his voice. That would make the FIP even better.

Barkworm 11-22-2006 04:25 PM

Anarky, you're a monster... :cry:

either that or we replace him with meatwad from aqua teen lol:lol:

Mandi-chan 11-22-2006 04:59 PM

Heroes is pretty good, not fantastic...but pretty good.

I hate the Nikki/Jessica storyline and all the crap connected to her, she's so dull...

I love Hiro and Claire (Hiro's the reason why I even watched the show in the first place.)

And the other characters are likeable (even though the acting's kinda weak).

It's worth checking out.

Raph's Girl 11-22-2006 08:34 PM

I love Heroes... It's one of my fave shows right now.

And each episode has a comic connected to it that u can get at heroes.nbc.com

Also in Heroes news George "Sulu" Takei has joined the cast as Hiro's father (which in itself is hilarious since Hiro is a major trekkie) and the 9th doctor, Christopher Eccleston has joined the cast as well.

Dunno what Chris Eccleston's role is in it but perhaps it has something to do with time travel?? :lol:

Spike Spiegel 11-24-2006 10:24 AM

Sigh...the one black guy on there is in prison, how stereotype is that?

As an African American, I am not sure if I really like this show...and please DO NOT flame me for that.

Actually, he isn't in prison. He's an escaped convict.

Barkworm 11-24-2006 02:20 PM

There's also another black guy but we haven't seen much of him, yet.

Yes, that's much better.

Brodie 11-24-2006 03:32 PM

This show is awesome. People shouldn't get hung up on the black guy thing. Its not a very bad stereotype, he escaped prison, yes. Was a criminal, yes. But he's also a very good father, who's trying to protect his son.

I dig the Brother dynamic between the kid who can use the powers of those around him, and the one who can fly.

I also love the 2 asians.

"Waffles! Hooray!"

Barkworm 11-24-2006 03:37 PM

Exactly...

Raph's Girl 11-24-2006 04:26 PM

There are 3 black people in this show...they all have powers:

The escaped convict has the ability to walk thru walls like Kitty Pride.

His son, Micha, controls electronics.

The other black guy is a strong telepath.

yea and he's a bad guy also..lol I guess it's now ok for african american characters to be bad guys now what with baxter finally being the right color and character after all these years on turtles and whatnot.

Actually I'm not sure either of the black guys are really that bad. The one planned a heist but never actually went through with it. He was framed. And the other one still has all the potential to be on the good side.

I really don't think they would do that though...not trying to be a jerk but don't see the lackying becoming a good guy any time soon.
remeber *save the cheerleader save the world* haha god thats so lame!:lol:

Duke 11-24-2006 07:45 PM

I didn't say he would be a good guy. I'm just saying that we really don't know yet. So, to assume he's going to be bad is only one of the possibilities.

Anarky 11-24-2006 07:52 PM

Okay, let me see if I get this straight. An escaped convict on a TV show is a bad character when he's black, but when he's white, he'd be awesome? That doesn't make any sense at all. And why can't the escapee be black? I don't think crime is limited to a skin colour. Besides, if he was white, someone would need to come up with a damn good explanation for Micah's skin tone.

And did you know that I didn't even consciously notice that the escapee was black? I mean, seriously, he was just "another guy on the show", not "that black guy who is a felon who is on the TV-show". If people in general would stop thinking about people being black and racial discrimination or the possibility thereof, we'd all get along way better.

Mr._Mutant_Man 12-01-2006 10:40 AM

I'm really liking this show, it's like a live action weekly comic book. Hiro is easily one of the best characters on TV these days. I think the cop has some potential too (I hope he isn't the one getting offed next week).

Kind of bummed about what happened to Charlie. She was a real cutie. But it serves as character development for Hiro.

Barkworm 12-06-2006 02:48 AM

HAHAHAHA, they just dropped Mohinder's Indian accent! He now speaks in a fake British accent!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, and the last episode was excellent.

Anarky 12-06-2006 10:50 AM

Mohinder is a godawful character anyways and should die in the season finale. After explaining everything. Maybe the nuclear guy can blow up in his face or something.

But it was a damned good episode. Too bad the next episode is six whole weeks away.

I like how suddenly cuz Hiro now knows he's going to travel to the time of the dinosaurs (the Cretaceous since he's gonna fight a T-Rex with the Katana he doesn't have yet) he's all worried "I hope I don't step on a bug!"... Oh Hiro...you silly Japanese man...did you see that ep of The Simpsons too? :P

Yes his accent is fake.... Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder) was born in Chicago... *L*

Jo Dawn 12-06-2006 09:11 PM

I always meant to watch this show, but I work during most of it, and I missed the whole 'catch up' night they had for it, showing all the episode up until the new ones... I realllly must catch this show. You'd think I'd remember to TiVo it or something... :P

Synch from Generation X??

















...man, I loved that comic... :cry:

Mr._Mutant_Man 12-09-2006 01:17 AM

I was thinking Peter was more like Mimic from the X-Men. Never really knew a whole lot about Synch.

Raph's Girl 01-17-2007 02:35 PM

Heroes renewed!!!
 
The hit NBC show Heroes has been renewed for a full second season, NBC President Kevin Reilly announced at a press conference at the Television Critics Association press tour on Jan. 17.


Raph's Girl note: WOOHOO!!! *JUAD*:evilgrin:

Mr. Snackpants 01-17-2007 03:08 PM

Well they'd be stupid if they didn't.

Roseangelo 01-17-2007 05:51 PM

I feel like the only geek in the world not in love with this show. No, wait.. I have one friend who feels the same as I do, which is "meh." I still watch it, though. And I believe we get to see Doctor #9 starting next week. 8)

It's not a bad thing. Like I could never get into Doctor who. I keep waiting for my geek card to be revoked because of it.
