Too late to start watching Heroes?

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

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
