Heroes...TV show Conversation (Spoilers Included)

[Variol (Farseer) Elmwood]

Well, nothing like a little spoiling eh Larry.

I was thinking myself that is definatly my fav. for TV shows right now.

<font color=skyblue>Sorry about that. I figured that anybody that cared was watching it for they'd not have the chance to go back and see it again until the DVD comes out...or reruns begin...and people gotta know what happened last night to be able to understand next week.

Thanks for calling me on that, though. I marked my post just now as Spoiler'ish.</font>

SPOILERS

You're right Larry - the ending rocked with both Hiro and the cheerleader segments. Hiro rocks! I really love the nods they give to comic fans with the two Japanese guys - "Is Peter Parker cheating when he sells pictures of Spider Man?".

The only complaint I have - and it has nothing to do with the actual show - is that they completely gave away the ending with the cheerleader on the previews. Still, that was pretty cool. Mr. Prick's reaction when he saw her alive again at school was classic.

Larry - one question for you: Do we actually know that the guy blocking the cop's powers was Siler? I watched the show in somewhat reverse order (caught some live, some I watched later), so I could have missed something. However, I was thinking Siler is still a mystery man, sort of a ultimate "super" with all powers working on his own and Cheerleader's Dad's organization was completely seperate.

EDIT: Two questions, actually. Can we just mark this whole thread as spoilerish and have at it for discussion purposes?

No biggy. I did not catch on about the younger brother though. Pretty obvious now though. It definatly throws a neat twist into it though.

<font color=skyblue>That's correct, we do not know for sure that the black guy that can block the cop's powers is actually Silar, and now that I think about it...it would be too easy if that indeed was him. Therefore, it cannot be him because the show is better at hiding him than that.

You know what makes me sit on the edge of my seat and scream for more? The way the scenes play out, where you'll see the life of one person and just when it starts getting into it, they change on you so you can see a totally new scene with a new person...and you have to wait like fifteen minutes just to make it back around the block for each hero. That way...we do not get "used to" or "tired of" one hero.

Yup; and you'd think people would crap on a mutant spin off, but there's been none of that.

I just finished watching Battlestar Galactica. I'd have to say it's at least tied with Heroes as a fav. (update from my early comment)
