I'm loving this series. First show in years I make specific plans to catch, or watch online after the fact.

Same here. It gives great excuse for nerd moments. "That's totally Psylocke's power! You see, she was..."

yeah i haven't actually watched Lost but it seems this show has a clear goal in sight, which is always good

[iamdonte.livejournal.com]

yeah, i heard somewhere that they plan to have a specific arc for the season with a clear conclusion. since when is having an ending such a novel concept?

[purgatorius.livejournal.com]

The creator, Tim Kring has planned out arcs not only for this season but 4 more!

The last new one was totally a rip off of Wolverine #-1

Did you see the one with Future Hiro?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

Yes. I think Hiro is my favorite b/c he is not a big depressed whiner.

Although neither is DL and he's got the Kitty Pryde thing.

What I love about heroes the most is the obvious way they've planned this show out. From episode one, it's filled with foreshadowing and the storytelling is brilliant.

Best show on television. Although my dad hates it.

AWESOME!!!!

Best show in the history of television! I love the way Hiro smirks and pushes up his glasses :)

Oh, and it only gets better from here.

That's been this week's crack for David and me. We got eps 1-15 from his brother. We've only got the last three left. And apparently, we need to request another disc of episodes already. Ack. It's the first time I've been able to watch multiple episodes of something back-to-back with David, because 1. it's an ensemble-cast series, and 2. much less episodic than Buffy, VM or Lost (which isn't as ensemble as it seems, since each episode has a few focal plotlines... going on roads unknown). It's like reading a novel rather than an anthology of chronologically-organized short stories about a character or group.

Getting him to watch two episodes of VM involves serious arm-twisting.
