Yes, that's much better.

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.

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.

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!

*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.

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!!!

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?

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...

Synch from Generation X??

...man, I loved that comic...

*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.

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.

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.

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.
