cough It's "Heroes."
And yeah, I'm loving this show. But jesus christ, Syler is FREAKY!!!!
Ah, another fan. Very cool show.
To pad this post out a bit, Hiro's favorite manga is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Very appropriate, since he can control time and has the comic that tells the future.
Holy shit I was gonna make this topic. This show freaking rocks.
Hiro is the best character ever. I like the cop guy too.
I need to go check out the graphic novel at nbc.com
I was half expecting Hiro to shout out ZA WARUDO when he actually
! stopped time this episode
god, why do i not have a tv? I hate having to download stuff the next day
The fact that Hiro=Dio kicks too much ass but the show is really good as a whole
I was really meaning to catch the premiere of this and all the episodes but I kept missing it on NBC. That reminds me, 20 good years premieres tomorrow night which looks quite funny. Don't let me forget bastards!
I'm loving this show too. It's great to see this type of show on a big station like NBC and not being messed up at all from what I can tell.
Will this be the show to save NBC from being fourth all the time to the bigger stations? Perhaps…
I really want to see this show, but I keep missing it. ;_;
@yokaiforte:

That's interesting.. personally (IMO, not fact, not trying to force it down your throat), I don't think so.. NBC has always been big in all around family friendly shows, and let's face it, Heroes is a bit on the teen and up side.
I think what NBC needs is a nice formula for thursday nights again, I think they were doing great with My name is Earl and the Office, but then they failed to capitalize and seal the deal by not making 2 more decent shows to go alongside them on thursdays. See Friends and Frashier I think, were the shows that carried Thursdays (Mad about you before friends etc) and then whatever other shows were on thursday gained popularity because Thursdays had a foundation. Now they're just throwing any random shows into the mix and hoping those 2 shows can survive alone.
What would be nice, is if NBC kept heroes, and stopped making dumb cancellations (like Surface.. omg I stayed up so many nights pissed off when that show was cancelled..) and simply placed 2 more good shows next to it, then they could assure the monday slot at least. (Since thursdays is kind of hard at this point). Or if they moved it to another night and mixed it up with some ER or Law and Order..
You will be delighted to know that Heroes has been signed for a full season.
Anyway, so
! The bomb is supposed to go off on November 8th, if Hiro's trip to the future stays the same. So know they have to find out who is responsible for it and why. I'm guessing Sylar. But why?
the only show I bother to autotune to anymore. Hiro is too awesome for words.
Next episode title: Hiros :)

No, next is "Come Together", then it's "Hiros".
Hiros is going to kick ass based on the title alone ^^
I wonder when DL Hawkins will make his move.. (Nikki's husband)[hide]he is supposed to have the power to pass through walls[/hide]
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/
Hiro is now 1000x more my favorite character.
Hiro's blog mentions jojo's bizaare adventure like 10 times. The creator of this show is awesome.
edit:
Ok, so back to the beginning. I was looking for the ramen shop that people were recommending near Kinokuniya.
Kinokuniya FTW!
dounle edit: I should read katana jon's posts more closer =_=
Note to all my fellow gamers. In a game, you see a weapon on the floor, you pick it up. In real life, you see a weapon on the floor, probably not a good idea to pick it up.
Wow, that blog is awesome.
I love this show! Just wanted to say that.
That blog managed to convince me to watch this show. He managed to reference Jojo and Chrono Trigger in a somewhat coherent plot-summary extra type of thing. When is it on, anyway? And what channel?

Mondays at 9, on NBC.
I'm going by East Coast time, so adjust if you need to.

you can watch the latest episodes at nbc (episode 3 I think is at nbc)
http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/?show=heroes
Nbc has a lot of info on the show too.
I wonder if the creator is actually a fan of JBBA or is it just hiro's actor role playing and writing a blog. Either way its cool one of them is a fan of JJBA
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG
Episode 4 Spoilers
! HIRO TO THE FUTURE, and he comes back speaking english and with a sword and a beard…...
damn this show keeps getting better and better and better
Just finished episode 4. That was awesome.
! Finally, everyone's starting to gather. It looks like the policeman lost his powers or got brainwashed or something. But the coolest thing was Future Hiro. Man he turns into a badass. Check out the sword on his back!
Well THAT was interesting.
! Niki's power appears to be activated in a time of desperation. She has the symbol of Mr. Bennet's organization tattooed on her back. No clue what the hell is up with that.
! Claire wrecks the car of the asshole that tried to rape her. Probably wrecks him too. Good.
! Also, Hiro shows up looking BADASS at the end.
[hide]HIRO WITH A MOTHA FOKIN SAMURAI KATANA + SOUL PATCH FTW MO FOKAZZ!!!!!!![/hide]
Even though the ending wasn't as much of a "wtf?!!!" I still enjoyed it, since it was the first ending to advance the storyline. (I was sort of spoiled cause I read it would happen :( didn't think it was the very last scene though).
I'm very dissapointed by the whole…
[hide]Save Claire, zomg she'll save the world B.S. though. She's quite evil too :ninja:[/hide]
And I must say.. these people are soooo not Heroes at the moment. But by far, Nathan is still my most hated, he cheats on his wife, he's an ego maniac prick and he's quite villainy. Although I must admit the episode preview was a "good" elitist thing he did in front of Claire's daddy.
Time to read the comic!
Can we edit the title of this topic btw? Or make a new one? It's annoying me, especially now that people know about the show now.
Is clarie's father syder or that organization.
I really hope
! Mr.cop isn't dead. He was my favorite next to hiro,Future Hiro FTW. Frankly Clarie and Niki bore the shit out of me. Man hiro is by far the best on the show.
My favorite heroes in order:
Hiro
Mr.cop guy
The researches son
Heroine addict
Copying powers guy
Clarie
Flying dick (whats his name)
Niki
Nathan is the flying guy
oh and
Ando's Spiderman / Peter Parker analogy = PURE WIN
My favs:
-Tie between Hiro and Matt (police man)
Matt has the ability to be extremely powerful.. especially if he were to read someones mind during a fight and know their next move.. and Hiro is [hide]MOFOKIN HIRO WITH A MOFOKIN KATANA MOFOKA[/hide] so how could I not love him?
-Peter
Peter can suck up anyones power and he's a doctor, also he's one of the few "heroes" that hasn't done something evil'ish yet.
-Niki
While she is evil, at the same time it's not her, it's her other personality that is evil. So if she were to control it, perhaps she wouldn't be so bad.
-Isaac
He hasn't done anything worthy of love yet, but at least he is trying to save the world
-Claire
After today I'm dissapointed in her.. she did something really wrong, and I'm scared that the writers may turn her into wolverine because they know she keeps dying every episode and she is incredibly fickle so they need a gimick to make her cool.
-Nathan
He's so villainy, it's getting to be ridiculous, I really dislike big brother :/
Something that badass must be watched. I hope it appears on Youtube.
This is my first episode of Heros and I loved it. THe guy coming from the future was a big out there but nonetheless cool. I love this series already.
You can watch the episode on nbc. I want to see the part with future hiro again. Omg so cool

Do not do that! DO NOT WATCH EPISODE 4 BEFORE WATCHING 1-3.
Warning: Not watching Heroes in order may cause incredibly good surprise endings to lose their effect. Watching Heroes out of order will reduce the enjoyability factor of the show. The show will blow your mind if you watch it in order. If your mind is blown, have a friend or loved one call an ambulance immediately.
yeah seriously EVERY ending has thrown me for a loop
I actually missed the first episode. Hopefully they replay it sometime.

Yeah, I know. I'm most definitely going back to watch epi 1-3 before watching episode 5.
I really hope there's a season finalie in December. In january 24 on fox starts again at the same time. It's ratings could fail miserabley.
I never really got into 24.. and in an unbiased response, 24 has had a really good run, most shows dream of having 24 type ratings/seasons. I think it's about time they gave another show a chance and did that spinoff/movie deal that the director and Kiefer were talking about in an interview.
well the plots are running thin and now everyone is either dead or has a 60% chance of being evil (except Jack and Mini Palmer and that guard)
From Wiki, about the end of episode four.
! Later in the episode, a future version of himself appears to Peter Petrelli on a subway carrying a katana. Speaking in perfect English, Hiro tells Peter he is there to give him a message before the episode ends. The scene was very similar (including Hiro's katana) to the first encounter of Future Trunks with Son Goku in the Dragon Ball Z manga and anime. As noted in his blog, Hiro is a confessed fan of Future Trunks.
My God, this show keeps getting cooler.
My God, this show keeps getting cooler.
Yes!
Can someone confirm? I'm sure they're not lying, but hot damn if that isn't an awesome reference no one will hopefully get (because if they do this show will officially be marked as a nerds show).
[hide]
Now.. I have to wonder.. did Hiro just put on the Katana to show off and be cool, because even his future self is a nerd ^^ (his hair was kinda greasy heheh) Or is the future really so bleak, that he had to turn into a psycho ninja like the guy from Metal Gear?[/hide]
Awesome show…Hiro FT(MF)W!! Good thing they show the most recent episode online since I missed it yesterday. Is there a way to get a hold of previous episodes because I missed a good portion of episode 2.
Despite what people are saying about Claire, I think it's more realistic that she's fickle and abusing her powers like most teens probably would (think X-men). Not sure if she can get away from this situation without Daddy Bennet catching on though.
OMFG!!!?!??!@#?!?@?!!!
Hiro can speak INGLISHU!!
Yea, Masi Oka was on a couple of episode of Scrubs too..
That and he speaks perfect (Well I wouldnt say perfect) english in his interview on the heroes website.
I'm guessing he is either a Japanese American who spoke Japanese in the home or is Japanese and moved to America fairly young and affected the American accent well.
either way, Future Hiro = THE COOLNESS. I knew you had it in you, Hiro.
I can kinda understand Claire's actions (the quarterback is scum), but there is a line that needs to be drawn sometime . . . . . .
As for her being necessary to save the world . . . . . maybe it's like when Wolverine was the key to finding a vaccine for the Legacy Virus in X-men?
damn, i am glad i didnt read the spoilers when you guys posted them. I dled the episode and saw it and was so fuckin surprised. The writer of this show seems to be a big manga fan. I mean dragon ball z is pretty big but generally jojo is a niche series with a fanbase only among a smaller audience online.
! I didnt even think about Future Trunks' encounter with Goku at all. I mean it makes complete sense now that i think about it. He says "you look different without your scar" which makes me think of Gohan in the future but whatever, a manga reference is a manga reference.
! Man, on a sort of related note, the only death in all of dbz that was sad was Gohan in the future.
! Also, is peter's power actually to absorb people's power? It seems to me that his flying powers are only activated by being around people's powers… hold on, (thinking as i type, i guess) it would make sense considering the fact that Nathan said Peter got too heavy for him to hold and then Peter started flying but that doesnt explain the other time he hovered.
he just needs to be around them, he was around Issac and he could see the future he was around his brother both time so he could fly and he was around Hiro so he could move in the stop time (note he doesn't carry the side effects of Hiro needing mass concentration and Issac needing the heroin.
I think Peter has the ability to "borrow" people's powers, not absorb them. Like when Nathan's around, Peter can fly, but Nathan dosen't lose any part of his ability to fly or anything.
That is what i meant my absorb, like Rouge when she touches people. He saw the future? (god, i guess i need to focus more on the episodes) Now i see what he ws getting at. You cant be nearly as blunt as comics when none of that stuff is supposed to exist, i guess.
edit: here is an interview with Masi Oko aka Hiro:
http://www.superherohype.com/news/heroesnews.php?id=4807
Check out some of his favorite manga. I have been meaning to check out a bunch of them. He has probably read jojo, too, so he should get how awesome his character is when it can be compared to Dio "ZA WARUDO!" Brando
2 things that occured to me
anyone here remember Boingo from JJBA, the dude with the comic book that could see into the future
and does anyone recall how long before the andriods attack when Future Trunks showed up because I have a theory
