yes, i love Heroes, and agree completely about reality tv.

The Japanese guy is my favorite character but I love The Cheerleader the more we get to know her.

the cheerleader, is a good character yet she’s to mature at this point….to the point of teetering on disbelief, yet she pulls it off pretty well…(my problem with her is undoubtedly a personal problem.

ali larter(though extremely hot) is a weak link, yet the alter-ego thing doing your bidding is pretty fun to ponder.

the scientist, what a bozo….too heavey handed in evolution yet in denial of change. his acting stinks and the writing for him needs to improve.

the painter could be awesome, but for some reason they chose a link between heroin and his ability? i find this a stretch of stupidity and arbitrary nonscence…..i ask….does he have powers or not?

the little boy intrigues me

i think the elvish chick next door to the doctor, like you michele, is in on the doctor’s murder.

the main character guy and his power to mimic the hero’s powers around him are cool, but he’s a weak link too.

i love the show!

Yeah, I normally don’t like it when my rape victims get up off an autopsy table either.

(I wonder when the first porn will come out with this premise in mind.)

well, i was thinking more on the lines of, her desire to be unnoticed and a normal child, yet filming her attempted self mutilation all while being a cheerleader. all she has to do is ignore her power and be normal, yet she’s acting all grown up in helping people. obviously she’s a “herotype” and wouldn’t be in the show if she quit so you got me there.

but the question i have is, what does “save the cheerleader, save the world” mean? they have said it in the show, but does the cheerleader need saving? or is it save her from choosing the bad guys versus the good guys? her little redemptive action last night pushes her into the dark side so-to-speak in the wotld of good versus evil. if we allow vengence to rule, are we becoming more able to do anything depending upon what our point of view is? isn’t the idea of right and wrong intended to be a larger than one’s self issue and the action of a vigilante one that should be condemded?

i don’t know anything however

Perhaps she’s key somehow? It’s interesting and not that this answers your question but while she is, in fact, super and has this power to heal herself she is unable to do it (all the time) alone. She needed to have the stump removed before she could heal herself. Is that a brain thing? Does this have something to do with the odd brain freezing/brain extracting taking place? I have no idea.

Does her father know what she is? Is he going to destroy her since he apparently does? Is that who she needs saved from?

Oh, and I agree with what you said earlier, the little boy is intriguing as well.

It seems Siler has all the powers of the group?

To me it looks like Election time gig.

Bush used to be a cheerleader back in college..

Save Bush.. Save the fighting world.

Save the Girl

She’s getting depressed and she wants to commit suicide. However, she can’t so she gets hold off a bomb and tries that..She probably gets the bomb from her dads office

Peter

I don’t think Peter absorbs everyones power but he has everyone’s power. Why would the hikaru guy contact him?

The whole thing

the interesting thing i find is that everything the painter paints comes true. Hiro and his friend have been so amazed by the comicbook of their lives that they have NOT tried to prove the book wrong. so i think new york city is a gonner! hence, hiro meets Peter in the subway, otherwise the bombing would have been prevented.

btw Damn fine cup of coffee;

As far as powers go, the split-personality gal’s husband seems to be able to alter his molecular structure to pass through walls/ hide in them etc. Pretty cool power.

Now, if two mutants mate and have a child, what are its latent abilities.

Hand’s down, Hiro is my favorite character. The Trekkie with the ability to warp space and time. He is his own warp core. I wonder how they will handle his transformation from clueless happy hero the the sword-weilding man in black.

I am hooked

The guy who can hear voices is really fascinating for the fact that he will appear completely mad to most and an absolute God to his wife. Interesting. He’ll have to learn how to deal with this. He should watch Wings of Desire. ;]

The little kid will most certainly play a part. He has to.

Diane, I love the show.

but back to her, she thinks her husband is dangerous, but maybe he’s wanted for murder, not because he’s a bad guy, but maybe because he’s trying to protect something as well??? his son maybe, just like the mom is doing….? or….the dad met the mom’s alter-ego and is scared shitless and wants to get his son away from the raging split-personality bitch! hehehe

I have to join the chorus of suspicion about the pixie chick, and I think Peter is a empathetic—he has the powers of whoever he is near. I don’t know if I agree with Dave that Claire (the cheerleader) is suicidal, but rather that her father is attempting to kill all of the special people in New York city in one gesture. Although, if he wanted them all dead, why didn’t he kill the cop when he had the chance?

fun fun fun … it’s always great to discover a new show. it’s like new love. you look for the things that are promising, read into things, and overlook the blemishes and shortcomings. i was at the NBC site today and found myself thinking about heroes as i drove into work. it was the top-rated show last night, and that made me happy :)

I’m glad you liked it! I think about it often as well.

What more can you ask for in a show? I haven’t seen this many pretty people in one show since Twin Peaks come to think of it.
