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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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).

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.

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.

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.

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??

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.
