Too late to start watching Heroes?


Recommended Posts

As I have noticed more and more especially here on the forums, Heroes is a big hit. The thing is, I haven't seen even 5 minutes of an episode before so I actually have no real opinion on it. With so many episodes aired, is it worth it to try to get into the show? If I have the chance, should I go through and watch seasons 1 and 2?

I should have started late with both Lost & Heroes. Reason. The season breaks are so long you tend to forget a lot of stuff. Unless you become a hardcore geek of the show or have great memories, little tidbits are gonna leak.

So yeah, its perfect to start out now.

I just thought I would post because I saw a commercial for season three and it said something like it wouldn't start until September, is that right?

Yeah it does start in September, can you rent Season 1 anywhere like Netflix? because you really need to see Season 1 before getting to Season 2.

If you aren't hooked after the pilot then the series isn't for you - but I expect you will be

I was FAR from hooked after the 1st episode - was ready to walk away and leave it. But my GF kept watching it, and so I sorta kept watching it - and THEN got into it.

Really? Both my wife & I were hooked by the end of the first episode... Quite unusual for us to both sit down & watch cult TV together - has only happened with Buffy & Enterprise before!

We must be very dissimilar in tastes, yet also similar...

Both series I eventually loved, but not keen at first.

I finally had time to watch the second episode and once again wow, just wow. This show demands that you pay attention from the first 5 minutes of each episode. I love the concurrent stories (or so I thought :p) because they make you focus on what is going on.

Oddly enough, I think I actually picked up on a subtle hint the show was dropping. I saw that weird symbol about 3-4 times in different parts of episode two. I want to say it is that Siler guy's symbol, but I'm not sure.

If anybody has any "suggestive" hints they want to drop without giving any spoilers away, that would be nice.

Thanks :D

suggestive hint: keep watching!

I honestly love this show more than any other I have ever seen. I have always been a big fan of superhero-type stuff and this this adds so much suspense and even makes you feel like it's possible...

It's funny, I'm actually having a few friends over to watch Heroes Season 1 over again on Friday. A couple of the people have never seen it before so it will be a fun night. :D I own both seasons.

I think that is part of why I love this show so much. I have always loved a little dash of superhero type shows whether it was anime's Teen Titans or stuff like the X-Men, this show has it for me.

What makes it even better that instead of "seeing" the powers that viewers could easily make fun of for not being realistic or whatever, you see subtle hints of them. Right now it keeps everybody happy. :D

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
