Heroes. Hands downn required watching for Junkies.

I've not gotten into the second season yet, so keep you gorram spoilers to yourself, but I thought season 1 was really frakkin' well writtern. The characters had depth, even the really evil, bad guy was more than just "Really Evil, Bad Guy". The fact that things didn't always work out for the best, which is my favourite type of story. The randomness and violence of Syler's killings should be enough to keep any junkie happy.

great show

rented half the first season and I love it. Good story, cool powers, cliffhangers galore.

On most shows you could blame the writers strike for the delay between shows. But Heroes has always put out like 4 new shows then a month long "Haitus" Pisses me off too. __________________________________________ These gathering hosts of loyal junkies, under the command of the great SCOTT

But I have a fascination with Sylar which means he will forever be in my heart. *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. John Barrowman has amazing teeth and he hugs well good. I love him so much. What a waste.

Its got me addicted anyway

Heroes is the only thing I watch on TV anymore, I gave Bionic woman a chance but they lost me after 2 episodes. They just don't seem able to produce much good TV anymore.

Never really hooked me. I'm not a bg fan of superpowers.

Shhhh... Promoting other Author...

Even if you don't like the superpower thing, you may enjoy http://www.playingforkeepsnovel.com . It's a superhero PodioBook, but the main characters are superheroes with seemingly useless powers. The irony is beautiful. Mur Lafferty is a great author in her genre, and is well worth checking out... her work's worth checking out... though Mur's kinda cute, too. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

super powers..

K0DA's picture
the nikki/jessica chick is probably my favorite. if only being a psycho split personality bitch were really appreciated this much irl. oh yeah, i could go places. the kid that can get free cable has a pretty bad ass power. and his cousin who can mimic anything she sees isnt bad. i think i would like to be invisible. no, not like now - ignored - i mean like see through. i think that would own... we got drunk one night watching heroes and came up with the ultimate super power - the invisible gas man. think about it.. i know, its a lot more funny with beer... ---------------------------------------------- Live every week like it's Shark Week!

heroes is crap...

K0DA's picture
sorry guys. the first season was good, but it is slowly slipping. or it just completely jumped the shark. the characters arent going anywhere. the plot is pretty much blah. i just tink it could be so much better then where i see it going. =( ---------------------------------------------- Live every week like it's Shark Week!

heros rocks

Has to be hands down the best TV there is right now and if you dont like it turn it off PUSSSIEES

ABSOFUCKINLUTELY!!!

I'm hooked! I'll admit it. It's an awesome show to get engulfed it. And yes, I agree Scott Sigler is Syler! haha.

Awesome show...

 But we all know Scott did not have to kill to get his powers... he was born with them! He jsut kills for fun! :-)

I love Heroes. does anyone

fuffy_frog's picture
I love Heroes. does anyone read the graphic novels? The one for this week is awesome. It's so funny. And it's done like Manga, which I totally love. I enjoy recieving private messages. it makes it so much more fun.

...

KnitWitch's picture
I keep forgetting to check those out. They're on the web site, right? ------------ KnitWitch

yup, they're still there.

fuffy_frog's picture
yup, they're still there. although, the season one comics are bound up in one book now. but they are still up on the net. I enjoy recieving private messages. it makes it so much more fun.

heros will do

for now...at least until LOST comes back on. Then the real stuff hits the fan.

Heroes is the best show on

kcapizzi's picture

Heroes is the best show on TV right now. That is until Lost comes back in Feb. Also, I'm really enjoying Pushing Daisies; love the style, morbidity, and dry humor in that.

 

And for true Junkie style love on TV, we're gonna have to wait until the EarthCore miniseries. Unless it becomes a feature film first. :D


Pshing Daisies?

Not sure.

Qeldroma's picture
Who the F is Clarie? LOL You mean Clair? Ha ha. Not sure on Sylar. Cant wait to find out why he lost them. Its strange. I think its cool though, he deserves what he gets.

So far Heroes is the show to watch

SynapticJam's picture
After last night's episode I was able to say to my oldest daughter, "Do you think it was alright for Clarie to lie to her father like that?" Answer: "I haven't lied to you like that yet." Rebuttal: "Yet?" It's a great show, our whole family watches it which is nice. Wonder how long it'll take sylar - oops... Gabriel to get his powers back so he can be badass sylar/sigler again...

Hereos Season 2

Qeldroma's picture
Honestly the first episode was amazing! But the second episode disapointed me. But the third one last night just made up for all the down falls of the second episode. Im hooked again.

pretty good

DougS's picture
I have enjoyed Heroes also, but this season has been a little slow to get going so far.

Hmmm...

Outcast's picture
I've really got to find that DVD where I have Season 1 saved and get to watching them.

Got my .m4vs right here...

Brad P. from NJ's picture
I think I still have Heroes loaded on my vid iPod... I should probably rewatch them before I try the whole Amazon unBox thing. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

Scott Sigler IS Syler

Northern-Junkie's picture
Scott Sigler IS Syler

Sigler=Syler... I have to respectfully disagree...

Brad P. from NJ's picture
Sure, Siggie's got the sadistic mindset of our amoral psychopath, but Siggie's just too short. It's possible that he may -develop- skills such as Syler if we continue to pick on him about his stature... but he'll cut out knees instead... ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

agree with the disagreement.

freakazoid101's picture
I love Sylar. In the very wrong way. In the way I love Adam, I love the bad guys. Murderers do it for me. Sigler... I just can't see him in that way. Yet.

I had never thought about

Northern-Junkie's picture
I had never thought about how tall sigler is. Something for the end of the third season of Heros, Sigler vs. Syler. May the worst man win.

Heroes is good but.....

Ace Bogue's picture
I really like the new season of Heroes but for a classic Junkie fix SciFi's new season of Dr. Who is right in there..The Dr. has a serious dark side, especially if you piss him off... The humor isn't bad either...
