Hey, Heroes is back!
Tonight’s episode: “Godsend.”
If you’re looking for 24 discussion, you can find it here.
The most pressing question I have is — can Heroes withstand the onslaught of Jack Bauer? I know it’s losing out in my apartment. I’ll be watching 24 live and Heroes on the DVR.
Still, I’m looking forward to it.

I’m really excited for these and Prison Break. They will all be on the dvr though because I don’t do commercials
I watch nothing live. Everything is dvrd. I enjoy 24 more than Heroes, but Heroes will probably get watched first, simply because my wife and I watch 24 together and it usually takes a few days before we are home at the same time and have the time to watch it. She watches Heroes too, but we don’t wait to watch it with each other.
There’s only a few shows that we make sure to watch together, and they are our favorite shows: 24, Sopranos, Lost. Everything else gets watched whenever either of us have time. I’m lucky in that our taste in TV shows is very similar so pretty much the only shows we watch we both like. Although she won’t watch Battlestar Galactica, but that’s just because she dislikes sci-fi on principle. I know, I know, Heroes is sci-fi too, but that’s real-world sci-fi, not hard sci-fi. It makes a difference to her.
Finally. I have something to do besides play Guitar Hero.

Guitar Hero 1 & 2 are the tits! I can’t wait for it to come out on the 360….downloadable songs….I gotta go change underwear.
You may proceed with Heroes talk.
I so can’t wait.. 🙂 I think I will watch the other episodes now on my dvr. 😉
I just saw “Google the Waitress” on the commercial for that damned Epic Movie again. I might actually make myself go through the torture of that movie so I can see poor Charlie again .. 🙁
Guitar Hero 2: 360? Hecks yeah!
I just saw “Google the Waitress” on the commercial for that damned Epic Movie again. I might actually make myself go through the torture of that movie so I can see poor Charlie again .
Tolly, I want you to listen here: there is no possible way that movie can be good. Our scientists have devoted much study to this, and it simply cannot be. What you need to do is go to Google Images and find some pictures of the nice young lady and save her as your wallpaper. Take the $8 you almost spent on the movie and put it in an IRA and/or some delicious candy. Or, oh!, that manga about the ramen noodles! That way, everyone wins.
about fifteen minutes to go…finally good tv again, now if only Lost would hurry up
Holy Moley! I take it all back.. I just saw that extended commercial for Epic Movie and I seriously almost puked….. ohh me belly *groans*
I was trying to be hard to get at the beginning of this episode. I was thinking it felt kind of cheesy but within 10 minutes I was really all the way back in. Seems that if I was a girl I would be the one that wouldn’t see her boyfriend for like a month and then he just comes back with flowers and says she is pretty and he is back in like flyn.
Guitar Hero 1 & 2 are the tits!
I find this offensive on so many levels. first off Guitar Hero is not a very good game, I played it thinking it would give me some real life guitar skills, and it has not. Second there is nothing in this world comparable to a nice pair of tits.
The point of the game isn’t to make you a better guitar player. I’ve played guitar for years, believe me, the only thing the game could help with is timing and dexterity. But damnit if it isn’t a blast rocking out with a friend.
WHY CAN’T A BIG METEORITE FALL ON MICAH AND NIKKI AND THE EX-CON DAD WHOSE NAME I CANNOT REMEMBER?!?
I like the idea of Hiro needing a sword to focus and control his power. That’s badass.
Someone needs to smack the smugness off of HRG’s face.
Damn Linderman and his fake swords.
“I’m gonna take it back.” – Genius.
After that special sneak preview I officially cannot wait for 300.
I volunteer as the designated smugsmacker. It’s sort of a calling of mine.
I can’t remember ex-con’s name either, but I remember him always as Forrest since that was his name during an ancient season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Claire’s got Peter Petrelli fever.
“I met a waitress in Texas. She teach me many things.”
“Good for you.”
*******
“You are flying man. WHOOOSH!!”
“Would you keep it down?”
“wooosh.”
Nathan and Hiro are the new odd couple comedy all stars.
Quick! They are all together in the jail! WHERE IS THAT METEORITE?!?
Did anyone call the Primatech Paper number?

Between Heroes and 24, Monday night is quickly becoming nuclear holocaust night.
Invisible Christopher Eccleston!
Shit! I saw Eccleston’s name, but I didn’t recognize him. Then forgot.
Quick quiz: who the hell was in charge of Nathan Petrelli’s hair this time out?
Why did the guard standing DIRECTLY behind Nikki not see him put his hand through the glass?
Who OK’ed those New York destruction GFX?
Was the Hi Def 300 Trailer the best thing I’ve ever seen? Yes. Yes it was.
I have no comment other than it was awesome. I spent half the show with my wife going, “Wait, what happened to him/her last episode?” but it was worth it.
I’m waiting for one of the Heroes to do a Seinfeld homage, instead of saying “Neuman!”, saying “Linderman!” That guy has his hands into everything: crime, blackmail. Swords.
The whole PyschoChick & Family storyline better pay off soon, or I’m officially rooting for the meterorite.
And yeah, that 300 trailer is dominant.
It was a good episode of Heroes. Not great, but good. Death penalty for Nikki? Yes, please. I say they kill her twice, just to make sure both personalities are dead. She annoys the hell out of me. Micha and DL are much less annoying, but if they have to go to get rid of Nikki, so be it.
The reaction of Eccleston when he realizes Peter can see him is great. But you think that a guy who was invisible would have learned to be more quiet. He’s shouting at Peter the whole time. Is it possible he can’t be heard either? I can’t remember if they were audible during the shot where they are invisible knocking over the stuff on the table. Anyone still have it on DVR?
Does Hiro need the sword, or does he just think he does? Anyone remember the Great and Powerful Turtle?
Very minor gripe, but I didn’t like Claire screaming as she jumps. That shouldn’t be scary for her anymore.
I never read 300, but why are there monsters in ancient Greece? I know it’s Miller, but that seemed really out of place.
Downloadable Guitar Hero songs? Will PS3 have this capability? This must be looked into.
Maybe the electric chair will get Nikki’s mouth to shut all the way…
it won’t
her jaw will actually rattle as she shakes from the electricity
I read 300, and I have to say the presence of a LOTR rock troll in the trailer did seem highly suspect. There is a hunchback in the book. Perhaps they just grew them a lot bigger and scarier back then.
As for Heroes: awesome, but here’s hoping for that meteorite.
Did anyone call the Primatech Paper number?
I read that if you call the number and press 3 for personnel, it gives you the code for the “Jobs” section of the website.
Yes, I called it and that’s exactly what it gives you. Once in, you’re prompted to give them your e-mail address and fill out a personality quiz (“If you saw a woman stealing something would you a)…”), and they’ll contact you if you’re a suitable candidate.
I’m not much for e-publicity games.
If the level of enthusiasm and discussion in this thread is any indication, Heroes didn’t fire up the base like it did before the break.

totally on point there. I didn’t want to say anything because it’s still good but I did find myself drifting during the episode. I think I might attribute it to fatigue from watching 24.
I blame 24. I watched Heroes and taped 24. Seems like most others did it the opposite way.
Yeah, I also consciously felt myself having a harder time getting into it: elements that didn’t bother too much before – clunky dialogue, PyschoChick talking to herself – felt sore thumb-y all of a sudden.
know what you mean, I was trying to figure out if they switched DL out because he didn’t look right to me; he probably just waxed his eyebrows or something
I thought the not-gay kid was swapped out with a different actor but then I just realized he got a haircut or something…
I thought the same thing. Especially after all the turmoil with him leaving the show.

I knew it was him but he did look different. He had this odd touched by darkness thing going on that I assume was intentional
So like, was that the guy with the crazy eyes from Legend of 1900?
Because his crazy eyes fucking suck
I thought I would be the major Heroes party pooper with the nitpicks, but this last episode had as many nitpicks as clever lines:
“Why did the guard standing DIRECTLY behind Nikki not see him put his hand through the glass?”
Thought so too. Also, the episode’s title was a REALLY bad translation — “Godsend”?? In the museum, Hiro’s friend (speaking with a heavy Korean accent) takes two letters that have 6 strokes each, and then, with his finger, only makes a two stroke “plus” sign (or sign of the cross) in the air, and that’s supposed to look like a stylized DNA symbol? That’s like saying, “Hey, if you combine Superman’s ‘S’ and the Green Lantern symbol (make a plus sign in the air with your finger) that looks like a strand of DNA! Holy Alphabet, Batman!”
“Ten” (heavens) + “Yo” could be “God Chosen/Send,” but just “Yo” (as in the show) is just “to be the recipient” (or) “hit” as in “the arrow ‘hit’ the target. ” (“Yo” is a common word and used in many ways). Yo+Sai (talent) is not a word, so I guess the real name of the show was “Get.”
Yes yes, major nitpick maybe to the monolingual English viewers, but if Tarantino in “Kill Bill” can demonstrate masterful, accurate, idiomatic, and funny use of the Japanese language that is totally spot on, and if “Lost” can feature REAL Korean language being spoken natively, then Heroes doesn’t slip by either. What, there are no Japanese people in LA the producers of “Heroes” can’t hire as interns to check this kind of thing?
Or figure out the guard might see the guy put his hand through the glass? Or make sure the name “Takezo Kensei” is spelled the same in the subtitles as it is in the display case? (oops).
Sorry for spoiling the magic of the sword, Connor, although I did like the slow motion theft and that the sword in the museum was a fake — nice touch…
