Just a heads up on the new series of Heroes, a little under 2 weeks away.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/heroes/

Erm, not much more to add. I know some of you watch it/download. It's just over a week behind the US (22/09)

errrrrrr, i've still not seen the last two of series 2. :P

woop

I gave up 1/2 way through the 2nd.

I enjoyed the 1st lots but its the classic American thing of dragging it out to the point of stupidity

Can someone remind me what happened at the end of Season 2 please?

Same here, I'm not sure I can be bothered with Heroes anymore.

I've not even seen an episode.

It think I got up to episode 10ish (about half way through) of series 1 before I got bored. It's on my list of things to catch up on again, but it's gone down the list since nobody had much good to say about series 2.

Well that was a waste of a thread then.

No its not Batch!! I have Wee gushing out everywhere in excitiment

I still want to call my children Hiro and Syler

Hiro Hand-Cureton does have a certain ring to it.

Be thankful she isn't a fan of Joseph Desire-Job

LUSH  :D

move with the times, surely it's now Hiro-Hand Vincent?

euwwwwwwwwwwwww not its most defo not!!

Ive decided Id quite like to marry Peter Petrelli in real life

milo italiansoundinglastname? you take him, i'll go for hayden paniteieeirree, they're currently going out together tho. damn pretty hollywood types :(

I saw the first one... each to their own but I didn't like it.

There's plenty of American television I really enjoy but I agree with Yeovil, I find it annoying that they allow shows to become stale/shite all in the name of $$

Talking of l shows that go stale, what were they thinking when "they" made Lynch/Frost reveal who killed Laura palmer in Twin Peaks? Fools.

OK, so the thread title gices a spoiler warning so tough shit if it is spoiled for you.

Regarding Episode 3. I got distracted trying to remove XP SP3 from my PC following remote desktop issues.

Did the Haitian capture Ando and Hero?

Did Sylar kill present day Peter Patrelli (trapped in other dudes body), or did he manage to 'escape' the body?

Thanks.

Batch.  answers:

Yes

No

Yes

I tried with every fibre in my body not to look at the spolier bits but as I have already accidently read the review in this weekend Heat I thought "oh well"

Im still calling my children Hiro and Sylar

do you think they would get bulled at school though?

Yes, but Si Pie can be cruel. ;)

I'm going to teach Hiro and Sylar how to bully their mother  >:D

OMG heroes is A.mazin - Im loving it so much now it kind of makes more sense

I heart Sylar

Really JFW.

I think it has descended into a mess of a show with no clear plot lines or direction, too much 'padding' and to few new ideas. I also want to punch Mohinder repeatedly.

ummmm I thought last nights was really eerry (sp!) although I too wish to punch Mohinder - maybe its just cause I understand it better now?

Has anyone else noticed how lopsided Peter Petrellis mouth is? is beginning to annoy me - Its all about Sylar now - I too am like Ell as I get electric shocks off everything - like my car and the filing cabinet!!

The one on BBC3 was particularly good last night.

I wonder how and when Peter is going to get his power back though.

just me who thinks it's lost the plot then. Oh well.

Batch you loved it the other day? why the change of heart?

Anyone see the Louis Theroux in Philadelphia last sunday? Apparently it is repeated tonight on BBC3, can this be confirmed/denied please?

I don't watch much telly but I find his programmes quite interesting.

Where has the Beeb go too? Has the eclipse happened yet?

I think Series 2 was the one that ruined it a bit. Wasn't really any point to it at all, except to fill between series 1 and 3.

I quite like how series 3 is developing. I know it's not massive in terms of plot, but we're starting to understand some of the characters through the story, rather than having snippets of back story. I think this way the series is constantly moving, although I guess tiem would tell if it has a direction.

I think the only thing that annoys me is how they use Hiro to tell the story, by making up some lame excuses why he has to go backwards and forwards in time. Oh and Parkman is an utter arse.

Oh and Daphne is a cripple!! that was a shock!

Hiro is cute as a ten year old!!

On BBC2 it's during the eclipse. Beeb 3 is the one where they eclipse passes.

I still enjoy watching it, though it's off the 'must see as soon a possible' list.

In my opinion:

It's moving the plot too slowly and in a way which seems to indicate the writers don't know what what happens next.

Some of it is getting a bit repetitive. HRG tries to get the 'baddies' . Save the world lots of times, Sylar loses his powers. Gets them back. Peter loses his powers.

They have made Hiro into an ass. He was good light relief, now he is boring.

They seem to be nicking the plot line off The 4400 and elsewhere. No originality.

To me they seem to be leaving to many loose ends. What happened to the Oirish bint that went to the furture that never was. Can I even remember which possible future reality they are trying to prevent. More to the point do I care.

I think it is suffering from Lostitis (tm) - in danger of dissapearing up it's own ass. Lost recovered because they now have a definite timeframe to resolve things in, I think Heroes needs to recover somehow too.

hmmm I can see you point - there is too many boring characters they could do with getting rid of -isnt there like 22 episodes in this series? and we are only on 10??

I think if they tried to tie up all the loose ends it would be pretty boring. I mean, do you really care what happened to that Irish girl? I think things get left like that because of the way Heroes is meant to be.

The whole point of the show is people using their powers for good and for bad, which is the classic comic book scenario and homage to comic books is always present. Precog paintings, The 9th Wonder comic book, even the writing when it introduces who they are and where they are in certain scenes looks like that in a comic book. It's never going to be more than a save the world/destroy the world scenario I think.

I suppose that's going to annoy people (and often it annoys me). Obviously the way it's written is a ploy to keep it going, but I think the way it's written is the bit which makes it original.

Edit: There was a double negative in there somewhere.

saw this, was quite interesting. The coppers weren't as horrifically stupid as you might expect.

Season 3 has been pretty shocking so far in terms of plot, or lack thereof.

HEROES is trading on past glories.

I nearly did a bit if wee last night - it was good - except I knew Claire and Sylar would come back to life when the Eclipse past

I got a bit Jealous watching Sylar and El podge! has he killed her then?

I hope Nathan and Mohinder die soon

Yes he has killed Elle ... shes my fave too ... Kirsten Bell :)

That's soooo last week JFW.  

The answer to the Elle question is shown at the start of the next episode.

No sign of Nathan or wankhinder dying, but it wasn't a too bad episode on BBC 3 last night. Though I did think 'oh no, here we go again' when the Hiro plot developed.


Do you fancy Elle too. Great!

I know Im a week behind but I cant stay up till 11 o clock!

I think Hiro was quite sweet last night - magicing everyone about

I want Sylars babies - imagine how lush they would be - dark eyes and hair! wowoooo

I bet Fatbury watches Veronica Mars

damn my secret is out!! SHHH JFW

ive managed to stay away form this thread but i am finaly upto date with this now.

its mental how they keep twisting it about, but im enjoying it.

i do hope this is the last season tho, i dont want it to turn into lost.

wow it was ace last night BUT I cant believe we are only on epsiode 12 of 25!!!! Im not sure how much longer they can string it out?

Sylar gets more lushious every week

Yesterday (BBC) was one huge big fuckoff reset button, with only Hiro not getting in on the act. Enjoyable though. Onto chapter 4 we go.

right is it all back to normal today?

I havent watched it since it was on Monday night before Christmas - I havent missed any have I? are we starting chapter 4 or whatever it is?

There was an episode on a Monday?

yeah cause Wednesday was Christmas eve it was on the Monday night instead

Hmm, I think I remember. I think there wasn't one on BBC3 that night, which is why I ignored it.

ahhhh so we are all on the same episode now then?

I'll probably get ahead again tonight. It's not easy getting the telly at 9pm in my house.

for me its not easy staying awake past 9pm!!

I think this is on a mid season break isn't it?

OH!! NO Batch your right - its not on tonight??

poosacks - I love my Heroes

When's it back on? Otherwise I will innevitably forget to watch it ever again.

I dunno - just went on the official BBC website and it doesnt even say

how ultra gay just show it all at once!! grrrrrr what am I supposed to watch now??? huh?? tell me???

Lost, starts again january 25th! or Celeb BB

and Ive ordered series 1-5 of peep show off Amazon today!! mwwuhuhuhu!

Heroes kicks off again 2nd Feb in US and the next ep is 23rd Feb (according to TV.com), so just after then on BBC2 I'd guess.

BSG is back in January too. Yippee.

This is outrageous.

I just did too. Be rude not to at £16.

This is contageous.

I see what you're doing there, Jeremy.

*bump* Start again tonight at 9pm!! woooooooooo

well except Im working till 10pm at the sports centre

Thank the lord for Sky plus

Don't be an iplayer hater JFW.

Good start. Coherent plot even if most of it has been nicked from The 4400, and first enjoyable episode for ages

Missed 3x15 as BBC HD didn't show it, only BBC3. Grr.

When does this appear on iPlayer?

I managed to watch a Setanta match stream at the same time as watching 24, now I'm going to try and watch The Wire and Heroes at the same time :)

It's on there now

dont give anything away please - havent had a chance to watch it?

why would I want to watch something on the computer when I could just watch it on the TV?

You can get iplayer on the telly too you silly girl.

God I watched it last night and nearly did a wee at the end! I love Peter with his funny lopsided mouth that seems to get more lopsided every episode

It was quite scary though I thought

He's soooooo dull JFW.

Parkman, Peter Patrelli and Mohinder.  Insomnia cured.

Oh I agree Monhinder is the worstest - I think Peter will be in this one more!! ahhh but hes soooo pretty Batch

raaahhhhhh Sylar is getting eviler and eviler

Who was texting Claire?

Hiro is boring without powers and Peters speech was getting on my tits

but apart from that it was good!

Good twist to the Beeb 3 one this week. I think it's going to make Claire even more annoying though.

Also, it's taken me this long to realise that Ando probably didn't kill Hiro in the future, he was powering him up or whtever it is that he does.

Oh yeah you could be right - or else they wouldnt keep going on about it

I hope Mohinder dies soon but I dont think he will

He died last night in the beeb 3 episode

I didnt watch that one you total minger

Not my fault JFW.

I may be on a wind up though.

you had better be you little bum munch

He is, it was Peter that was killed.

Not a bad series this I picked up a couple of the first series found it a bit meh and managed to accidentally see most of the new series and it’s improved greatly.

*BUMP* OMG this was amazing last night!! Alice is scary!! I want her power though controlling the weather

Back to its best defo!

I thought that episode was a very bad one.

This week's Beeb 3 episode was pretty cool, links in to the twist at the end of the one JFW is posting about.

Yeah, wasn't too impressed with the Alice episode. But in general Heroes is much more enjoyable than the timeline jumpathon mess it had become.

Haven't watched this weeks BBC3 recording yet.

It's got better because the original writer returned for the last 3 episodes of this series, and is doing the writing for series 4.

and Sylar is getting acer

And Leon's getting laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrger.

[url width=641 height=400]http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z35/royone_bucket/Airplane%20captures/johnny-plug2.jpg[/url]

I've heard they're prone to problems too.

Im afraid I dont understand that

The laptop reference or the airplane! reference?

ummm either!!

Someone get JFW a copy of Airplane...

Simon Cox as "Ace Striker"  :D

Surely you can't be serious?

Take a look at the Laptops around your office tomorrow and I'm sure you will find an Acer.

Also, rent or buy Airplane!  Classic!

Sorry but how lush was the ending!!!!

God Im so in Love with Sylar

I thought it was a crap ending and just an excuse to prolong the story.

Dissapointed with it.

I mean OK Patrelli bought it,  but oh look, Sylar effectively has no powers AGAIN. Until he remembers anyway.

And oh look, Hero can't use time travel. AGAIN.

Still enjoy it, but it seems to be recyling storylines.

it was so obvious the Sylar would start remembering how he really is again but heck! Im loving it!

Peters mouth just gets more and more lopsided every week!

That ending was toss.

I will no longer be watching Heroes.

I think Charlotte is the only person who liked it.

How many more series are they going to do? It's really lost its way now, too many back stories when we already know the characters, the show can't decide whether it wants a Sylar take all situation or company/government vs the 'heroes' situation. Also, too many characters who have interesting abilities are sidelines to the story more often than not. For instance, Parkman has a quality ability but is just about the wettest and most disinteresting character there is.

The mystery is all gone and I fear my interest in the show is waning.

maybe if you took Sylar out of the question I may like it less
