    Just watched it myself. I'm amused by the fact that (SPOILER)A stick in the head can stop cheerleader girl (Claire?) from functioning but her entire chest open does not.

    Wow, I am thoroughly impressed with this show. It's nothing like I thought it would be. Yeah, the general premise and the powers aren't all that original, but they're going in a totally different direction with it than I imagined. There's definitely something to be said of such a cliche and used story to be redone in such an unpredictable way.

    My favorite at this point is Nikki. That alter-ego is INTENSE.

    (SPOILER)It stabbed her brain. That's a pretty delicate organ. Her chest wasn't as bad, it's just sliced skin thats been peeled back.

    Ok after watching three episodes I can tell that the writing and acting isn't that great. Not terrible, just sort of average. However, the storyline is intriguing enough to keep me watching.

    If this show doesn't make it the Japanese guys should get their own series. Think about it. One has the power to teleport and stop time. The other is just a regular guy. Together they travel the world saving people. What a great show that would be!

    The cheerleader annoys me. How the hell can falling on a tree stump penetrate your skull?

    Yeah, I'd be so happy just watchin Hiro and his friend go on adventures. And it's *so* nice that someone is actually happy about their powers. Not all gloomy like everyone else. Not just on the show but heroes in general. Super heroes never revel in their powers. But Hiro is all, "yippeeeee!" That's so awesome. I want to give him a hug.

    Hiro's power seems to be a bit darker than it initially seems though. By following the comic, they actually caused the near-accident from which he saves the little girl. Only because Hiro told Ando to stop the van, which he tried to do by stepping out into the road in front of it, did the van actually go astray, nearly killing the girl. She would never have been in danger if they hadn't done that.

    This of course hints that Hiro is about to smurf up big time.

    Love the show so far, and like everyone else I like Hiro the most.

    I can't wait to see how they are all going to meet up, because most of them having a small connection to each other in some way, shape or form.
    Ex: Hiro's friend having that video of Nikki on his Ipod.
    The itching sensation is a good thing.

    (SPOILER)For some reason I have this idea that her body should regenerate and push it out if her healing power is that strong.

    There is no fun in her character. She shoulda stayed dead.

    I'm excited to see how they start tying all the characters stories and bringing them together. I got a kick out of how Hiro's friend was watching Niki's webcam on his Ipod...

    This week's episode was awesome. I'd say the best so far.

    Man, these writers sure know how to make some cliffhangers.

    I cannot wait for the next episode.
