I loooove Hiro.
And I love Jess! I mean. Not Jess. He used to be Jess on Gilmore Girls. What's his name on this show? Peter? The dude who thought he could fly but... you know.
I liked the twist at the ending, I didn't see it coming. And that's pretty rare for me. I kinda feel bad for him though, cause he was all, "yay! flying!" and then it was all, "oh wait, nevermind". I think his gift is that he's an empath or something along those lines that's not flashy like his brother's gift/power/thingy.
I can't wait until Greg Grunberg shows up in the next episode.
PS. I think by "cool" you mean hugely geeky.
I caught this show and I thought it was pretty awesome. My two favorites are the same as Miriel's, Hiro and the flying-but-not-flying guy.
I'm really interested to see where it all goes, what with the painter's prophecy of huge booms and all.
I'm curious about the mirror lady too. Her power seems to be "freak out on everybody".
HIRO ftw.
I saw the replay on Sci-Fi tonight...AWESOME. The girl with the fire was really cool too...thoug I cringed with the garbage disposal...UGH.

I am just wondering what the bad guy's are going to be like. They'll have to be pretty uber to challange the heroes once they get organized. Because they set those heroes up with some deadly powers. Especially time/space travel, that is a tough power to beat.

For real.
What happened tonight? I missed it...had to work. :P

Wow. I just saw the second episode and had the first one explained. That's seriously more gruesome than I would have expected for prime-time non-cable show.
But it was awesome. Hiro rocks.
For those who want it, here is the first episode, courtesy of NBC.com. It's in three parts.
I really like this show, and it seem to surprise me at every turn, which is pretty awesome. But yeah, like Void said, I was surprised by how graphic it was at times, especially in tonight's episode. (SPOILER) Missing brains and sawed off skulls = O_o. Still, very interesting and very cool. The mirror lady's scenario really freaks me out though.
So now I have another show to keep track of. Man I wish I had Tivo.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
one word: awesome.Originally Posted by ValkyrieWing
I think this second episode kinda didn't work as well as the first episode. But I think this might be cause the first two episodes, the pilot and this episode, were originally supposed to be aired back to back last week. Maybe it would have worked better that way.
But I'm still interested to see where this goes.
*sigh* I'll have to watch it Friday, then. If work calls me in, I'll tell them I'm having a religious experience or something.

Telekinesis was evident, That could explain the freezing too. Heat is caused by increased movement of molecules, cold is caused by decreasing movement. Silar mentioned "hunger" in his message to the Prof. I got the feeling he (SPOILER)ate the frozen guy's brains just like the victim intended to eat those Fuit Loops in front of him. Blah!
It's a decent show. The main problem with it, I think, is that none of the 'heroes' have powers that are at all fresh. Of course, I guess it's hard to come up with a superhero ability these days that hasn't been done in comics already. The premise is all right, but the show isn't nearly as well done as, say Studio 60. But it's hard to be as good as Aaron Sorkin, so maybe that's unfair.
um...
I hated the pilot... but the pilot made the second episode look like genius.
The truth of the matter seems to be that Aaron Sorkin is making a show about making an hour long drama and not really about live TV or SNL or anything else. Not surprisingly, Sorkin doesn’t seem to have the slightest grasp of how live TV works, aside from a few trips to 8H in New York on fact finding missions. I can forgive stupid details, like all the offices having floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the studio (the green room at SNL does look like that… but it is the only space that does). But the misunderstanding of the writers and the talent is horrible.
Worst of all, his cast of funny people are not funny. And they aren’t non funny in the way some comics are all serious in real life and turn it on for the camera. They are dramatic actors… all except D.L. Hughley, who seems to be trying to give up his comedy roots.
This is a bad, completely self-indulgent – it’s more about Sorkin and his genius than it was last week – crap that may win an award for the most actors who have unpleasant looking skin damage from the sun.
This is sort of what I thought as well. We don't really know everything about all of them, but yeah it's kinda been done before. But then again, when I sat back and tried to think of an original superpower, I couldn't think of anything. Comic books and other forms of media have sorta snatched them all at one point or another X_x. Or I'm just not creative, which is most likely the case.
I think my favorite is Peter. I'm glad to see he can fly as well and his brother didn't steal the whole deal. He's so nice
