My thoughts on…the return of Heroes
I’m a big Heroes fan. Ever since the show began, I’ve been faithfully keeping track of our favourite superpowered team of misfits, watching them slowly master their powers, become a team, encounter their first threat and discover their destiny. That is, until the first break. Then I got used to the show’s absence, and watching Heroes became lower and lower on my list of priorities, until I stopped watching it altogether. Star Trek: Enterprise mondays on Sci-Fi din’t make things better either. But now Heroes is back, and I can finally catch up with the series. I know I’ve missed them saving the cheerleader (shouldn’t have been too hard given the fact that she’s indestructible and all), but now I get to see them save the world.
Hopefully there’ll be more action, as they’ve passed through the awkward phase of superty, and perhaps the question I’ve had since the show aired will be answered: tights or no tights? That question wasn’t answered in last night’s episode, but that didn’t make it any less interesting. The plot has advanced a lot. I can barely keep up, but that’s nothing an hour or two on YouTube can’t fix. Issac fell by the hand of Sylar, Peter’s saved by Claire, Hiro and his sidekick visit 5 years in the future and Niki and D.L. are still arguing over Micah, making it an episode more thrilling than most. As usual, they end with a cliffhanger, raising questions about what would happen should the heroes fail. One thing’s for certain, I’m back on the Heroes train. Sorry Enterprise. Besides, you’re cancelled anyway.
Somehow i feel my blog entry fueled this post hehehe

That might explain why its return ratings on NBC were softer than usual (although they were down across the board, plus it was on opposite that dancing show I never, ever watch).
Ahhh yes spread the Heroes love
been following Heroes from the first episode and loving it.
Hiro and Micah are destined for greatness!
I think the reason why it was on break so much was that they never realized it would do so well. If memory serves me correctly show don’t usually break for 3 times in the season.
You should also give the graphic novel a read… it fills some gaps the show itself misses. They give you better understand of certain things.
What you can do… IF ur strong enuff that is :D, is wait until the season done and watch them in shot shot. That way the suspense doens’t you hold u so bad.
I’ve tried to do that with 24… but no luck.. ohh welll.
I”m contemplating not watching hereos till its all done as well. might watch prison break and my anime in the mean time.. then just watch it all at once when it finishes.. thing is i’m gonna miss out on the discussions.
I’ve only seen half of this week’s episode but it’s been pretty exciting. Hopefully that will continue through the rest of the season.
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
you should check nikki’s inkblotter blog, she has a heroes forum where we discuss the show. think its one of the links near the top of my bloglist
