Weekly Roundup: Heroes Is An Amazing Show

Print Print  

Heroes Season One DVDMy fiancée bought me Heroes: Season One on DVD a few weeks ago and it’s amazing. We’ve been watching an episode or four every few nights and basically need to pull ourselves away from watching all of them at once. We weren’t able to watch it when they were first on television because of my Monday night classes and we started falling so far behind that the prospect of watching multiple episodes via the internet wasn’t particularly appealing. Now that we are caught up and missed only episode 1 of the second season, it’s about time to keep current again!

Now, some of the characters on the show have some typical comic book character abilities: telepathy, clairvoyance, persuasion, regeneration, invisibility, flight, time travel, walking through walls, cutting people’s heads off and stealing their powers. Now, some of the secondary characters have some crazier powers like being able to locate other “heroes” and ultra-sensitive hearing, so that got me thinking… what power would I really want? (answer below) What power would you want?

I’d probably want the ability to fly. Or walk through walls. :) You?

    One of the new characters in the second season has the power to turn objects into gold. That might be helpful. (I was a little disappointed by the episode, but I guess I had high expectations.)

    I guess if I were to have a superpower, I’d like the ability to read minds, like Parkman, but less painfully.

    Thanks for the link!

    I have never seen the show but I would like the power to make politicians tell the truth.

    I think the shape-shifter girl had a really cool power. I’d either take that or the ability to persuade people.

    DVR, it’s a great value :-)

    Full episodes of Heroes are free on NBC!! http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/episodes.shtml
    my hubby and I love the show too!

    I would like to have the power to have the annual returns on my portfolio increase by 3% (without increasing risk, Duh!) Either that, or the power to turn Doctor Phil and into a quivering puddle of Jello. Both powers have their appeal.

  6. Mrs. Micah says:

    Maybe the power to heal everyone?

    I beieve that you should pay for your own education, not rely on your parents. That way you will work harder for what you want and value it more. If you or your parent want to pay for your kids education, how about placing it in a savings account every year and when the student graduates, give the lump sum to pay off their student loans or a down payment for a new home?

    I watched every episode of season one of Heroes as it came out and so I was very eager to see the premiere of season two. I was not impressed by the first episode and I wrote about that on my blog.

    The power I think I would have liked is the ability to read people’s minds.

  9. broknowrchlatr says:

    The power to read minds would only be good if you could turn it off. Otherwise, it would be unimaginably horrible.

    Flight is good in once sense. But eventually you run into a bird or somthing and you die.

    I’ll take regeneration. Have a heart attack? leave a note for doctors to cut out your heart. then you just grow a brand new one and you are fine.

  10. Blah says:

    Heroes is not amazing, it was unusual for a network show, but also completely shallow and uninteresting. The plot was garishly weak and the finale was a slap in the face, though you couldn’t have expected much more from such badly written and transparent hero figures.

    By the end I was really hoping he would just murder them all and eat their brains, saving the world from a season two of this nonsense.

  11. Jason says:

    I couldn’t agree with you more. I love that show!

    I recorded the first episode of season two yesterday, and am eagerly awaiting to have a chance to watch it.
