Re Heroes

LOL. I take that last sentence to mean that you found the episode more enjoyable than you thought you would, even if it was just the Milo Ventimiglia eye candy?

Re Heroes

No, just to mean in general that I find a badass sexier than a wimp. I think they wasted an episode, though I think their wasted episode is still ten times more informative than a wasted Lost episode.

Well, what did y'all think of the season finale? Molly set the stage for a new bad guy.

BTW, did Nathan and Peter's mom ever reveal what her power is? Or am I just assuming she has one?

Re Heroes

She's never revealed having a power. I'm assuming that she has one but I guess it's possible that the boys got their Heroes mojo from their dad's genes and she's just along for the power-trip.

I was almost thinking that she's the one who's so bad that Molly doesn't dare look for her. But, I'm pretty sure Molly said the new bad-ass was a guy.

Re Heroes

I liked the finale, but felt it was lower-key than I expected. It still feels like it's building.

I wasn't too attached to Nathan, and Sylar is still dangerous... so it's really a semi-cliffhanger.

Re Heroes

Because Peter is a whiny git.

Adrian Pasdar better not be dead. He's the only hottie on there with a spine! G surmised that Mama Petrelli's superpower is Supreme Bitchiness. Of course, the then went on to say that would make me a Hero. Grar.

Also, who else is signed up for all the extras? We got a call on election day to go vote for Nathan Petrelli. :-D

Re Heroes

I cried when Peter and Nathan blew up. 'course, maybe they didn't blow up (just like Edie's maybe not dead ). I thought it was pretty darned good for a finale, even though EW panned it bigtime.

I loved the last little clip tossing Hiro into the 1600's....Jeremy swears the samurai is his father. I'm not buying that theory.

Jeremy may not be so wrong. Look at the link on Wireless' blog.

Re Heroes

I'm pretty sure that it was George Takei. The question then is whether Hiro's dad is 400+ years old or was that samuri an ancestor.

Re Heroes

TONITE! TONITE! TONITE!

My predictions:
1. Hiro's dad is indeed the old warrior. He's a time traveler too.
2. Peter is alive and will return.
3. Nathan didn't make it.
4. The boogeyman rescued Syler and is putting him back together again.
5. The Heros will all move to a single compound where they can live together figure out what the boogeyman is going to do next.

Okay, some of those are pretty silly, but I think 1-3 are pretty good guesses...I can't wait until it airs tonite!!!!

Re Heroes

I saw the previews and am trying to decide if I want to start watching it. The episode or two I caught last year I really liked. And I read all the recaps online, so I know (more or less) what's going on. I just don't know if I want to tie myself down to the TV another night more than I already have to (Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday are a MUST). I'm thinking I'll just stick to the recaps. I just hate that the full ones never come out until the next Monday.

Re Heroes

I believe the episodes are going to be viewable online, once the premiere airs. So you can watch them whenever you want if the player is compatible with your computer. I think NBC is going to give people a week to see each episode.

Heroes TV Show on NBC: NBC Official Site

Re Heroes

Yeah, they had that last year too, I believe. If I wanted to do that I could just tape it as well, but there's still the issue of making the time to watch it. Maybe I should just get some headphones and watch it over lunch at work.

Re Heroes

That's an idea.

It's a great show. I hate missing it, which is one reason that it's okay that my Monday night committment got cancelled.

I get tied up in stuff too...fortunately, there aren't that many things new this year that I think I'll get hooked on. I still like my Tuesdays (Biggest Loser, Boston Legal) and Thursdays (Grey's) but with both, I sort of give them up once Jer starts going back to karate. Wednesdays are free until Lost starts back up again. I don't generally watch TV on Friday or Saturday.

What a great start to the new season! Something new, something old...I thought I had lost interest since last season ended, but now I have to watch. Fascinating.

Re Heroes

Well, hahaha my predictions were all off base, eh?

In the previews, Claire is looking at something and saying "No Way!" and I never saw that scene. Did I miss it (I don't know how I could have, I was GLUED to the TV)???

Loved loved loved the Brit Samurai. Cracked me up. Poor Hiro has to go back in time to save his hero from himself!!!

The "no way" might be from later in the season.
I can't wait to see what happens.
Hiro's dad isn't really dead, right?

Re Heroes

I'm thinking he is.

But who, or what pushed him? He said something when It came onto the roof, but I couldn't make it out.

Do you think Peter is really dead? Or is he hiding somewhere???
Is Maya good or bad? Jeremy thinks Alexjandro is the Boogeyman, I told him he's full of it.

I think Hiro's father might come back. We don't know what powers he has. I won't be sad if they kill off Peter's mom.
Peter will be back - Nathan said so - and boy does Nathan look terrible!!!
Maya is good. She killed the men who wanted to rape her. She just doesn't know how to control her powers. Alexjandro is good too.

Wasn't Claire's mom killed last season? She and that Mr. Muggles are annoying!!
