Default So heroes isa bit pants then

Just downloaded the whole first series and watched it. Was slow to start, good in the middle, but tedious near the end.

I don't want to spoil it for other people, but there were just so many holes in the plot. Just what were hiro and peter doing, not to mention the ultimate "non" ending with sylar.

I done the same. I watched the first couple, and couldn't be bothered. But now its on BBC2 one night in the week, so I'm catching glimpes of it again.
I done it to fill a "Lost" shaped hole, but now I'm like "Lost who?".

Its okay but its not in the same league as Lost or Prison Break. I could watch Lost forever and still wouldn't be bothered if they didn't answer the questions. I just love the twists and turns.

Cool

I really liked Heroes, I thought it was a very good concept, didn't find it dull at all.

However, without wishing to give the ending away, I did find it a bit odd that no one noticed/checked that a certain person had dragged themselves away at the end of the last episode......

Also, Is Hiro the guy with the sword from 15th century Japan?

I saw two episodes of Lost - apart from the obvious attraction of fabulous totty I thought it was contrived and tedious.

Lost = ****
Heros = demi ****
Prison break = uber ****

Only american series I like is House MD 'cos it's so un-PC and witty.

I don't have Sky, but I thought the new series wasn't starting until Feb08. Hopefully I'm wrong though. Perhaps its just repeats to rub it in for Virgin customers?

MAJOR SPOILERS MAJOR SPOILERS MAJOR SPOILERS

That was the failed future they were portraying. The one in which Syler had killed Claire as Peter did not go to save her. Hence it was Sylar with the healing powers who was able to survive Hiro's attack. Peter never came in contact with those powers so has the scar. Hence the "save the cheerleader, save the world" message.

And since we are on with spoilers...why the hell Hiro did not just teleport in behind Sylar and stick him with his sword there and then I have no idea. He manages to teleport to his friend to save him, so he could have done the same to kill Sylar so much sooner.

Not to mention Peter who was oooh sooo ghey in his first fight with Sylar. It was obvious what was happening with the glass, why he just stood there so he could get hit by it I have no idea.

Series like this should let enemies die, then find a new one. Otherwise it just gets a little tedious and annoying that obvious solutions are not taken....ie the crawling bit at the end.

ahh i see so they were in the alternative future, the future if claire died, which means unless you chop syler's head, or stick something in it, he's invincible

i reckon its because hiro and peter, are wuss, they have no killing instinct

Let me guess.

You aren't really a lesbian, you just have a girlfirend that you like to play around with. You like men too, and sometimes you all join in together.

Oh, and you have enourmous knockers and definitely don't have shaved head/wear DMs.


Am I close?
