I've still got ~6 minutes for it to start.

I knew I recognized that girl from somewhere ("Everwood") - liked her w/ the short hair.
I'm digging this show quite a bit. I had goose-bumps towards the end.
Was that the symbol from "Threshold"?

Season Pass for me after tonight. They do need to dump the Ali Carter storyline or perhaps explain how the heck a murdering alter ego is going to help this group of heroes.
Did they change the actor for the cheerleader Dad? I could have swore a different guy was in the pilot.

I also enjoyed it, and, now that we see the date that the bang happens, 5 weeks away, I wonder HOW MUCH show they are going to make before that is wrapped up?
Is the bang the focus of THIS season? If "Heroes" on next year will the focus be the guy the black family is keeping in the basement next door?

I thought it was better than the pilot, but that's not saying much. Other than looking hot I don't know what Ali Larter or her character bring to the show.
Right now all these big twists are more "WTF" than "Holy Shit!"

Anyone else notice how much older everyone was than last week? It was especially noticeable with the cheerleader, who got even hotter. It seems that the time between shooting the pilot and the second episode was pretty significant, maybe 9 months to a year.
Love the show. It was better this week than last and I think that they have things well planned out. A "don't miss" show for me.

Mmm...I guess I'm in the minority, but I feel mildly disappointed with this show so far. The major problem for me was that I had once wished someone would create a show like this. Right after I saw "Unbreakable". The concept is a great one and it has so much potential. But I feel like the writers for this show are mediocre at best. There definitely are some good parts, but the show lacks coherence. Plus, there are just some parts that seem gratuitous and really strain believability. (Yes, I realize this is a show about special abilities).
I'll spoil my criticisms for those of you who enjoy the show and would feel like this is raining on your parade:
So far, I only like the Mohinder and Hiro storylines.
Ugh. I'll keep watching for a little while, but it's more out of hope that the writer will pull it together. Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams, he is not.

I'm not sure about the time difference. If I remember right, this was shot as a 2 hour premiere and NBC decided to split it, so it should have all been filmed at the same time.

as you can see in the pics.. Well, ok the girl has the gun but it's the -bug spray guys- gun after he dropped it, that's just a better screen shot of it... blah you know what I mean, being I think most of you saw the show..
gun on the floor near the telpath.. same sort of mod'ed wep..
over all I really liked this ep and show being everything about it seems new. Nice to have something different and not just another legal/CSI/doctor show.
even if I have no clue how a DNA switch of any sort of makes a mirror person or whatever it is she has. Heck for all we know she IS a "one of the bad guys" or at least the mirror version could be.

The hour has been flying by for the 2 eps I've seen, and a reality-grounded superhero story (ala Unbreakable) is something different with lots of potential for good stories. I just hope they don't get too caught up with Lostitis and make storylines stretch on forever. The producers seem to be keen to comic book stories so maybe they can adapt that kind of pacing -- somewhat self-contained "arcs" of 4-8 episodes (with occasional standalones) but with overarching continuity from one arc to another. Carnivale, Surface, Invasion, and Threshold have made me rather wary of these new shows with gigantic stories -- it's really frustrating when they get cancelled leaving you hanging. Makes me hesistant to get started until I know they lasted long enough (and DVDs make it easy to catch up).

Otherwise, Heroes has promise to become an excellent show. I'll be sure to tune in for the rest of the season to see what happens.
