Heroes

i like the brother and sister from mehico. allehandro and maja. maja, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


:drool:
 
I do much like Hayden Panettiere, but recently I've decided that Ali Larter is probably better looking (y'know, Nikki). Hayden Panattiere just has that look of a fifteen year old about her, whereas Ali Larter actually looks like a woman.

Also, Maya (Dania Rameirez) is fecking hot, so I'll be pissed off if Sylar kills her.
 
Ali Larter? She's okay, but her appearence in this programme is unforgivable. Totally useless character.
 
After watching the latest episode, I see, well kind of, the point for the Kenzou Takeshi 'saga'. It was a long, drawn out, cliched, melodramatic, b-script, d-list fantasy novel, boring feckball of a story though. Heroes tends to have shite b-movie moments like that (like that part when his father came to bring Hiro back to japan and it ends up with him supporting hiro all the way and seeing the light by letting 'nice obedient sister who surpressed her ambitions' take over... melodramatic fake shite with fake acting and rubbish writing...). Such moments are cringeworthy... videogames have better writing than this.

In the first season, Hiro's story was the most interesting for me. The start of his story in this season is shite.

Thank god he's back to the present again.
 
Heroes do tend to be inconsistent in terms of storyline but I think its novelty is what attracts us all. And yes, Hiro's story is terrible.
 
On the chilly Monday morning that Hollywood's writers went on strike, Heroes creator Tim Kring called from the streets outside the Hollywood studio where his NBC series is shot. ''Yes, I'm picketing my own show,'' says the 50-year-old writer-producer. ''So surreal.''

But Kring wasn't calling to discuss labor woes — he was calling to explain why Heroes, suffering a creative decline and a 15 percent ratings drop from the same period last year, went from Human Torch hot to Iceman cold. The good news? A turnaround appears to be under way. After weeks of sluggish storytelling, the Nov. 5 episode recaptured some of last season's fanciful energy. We've also seen the next two episodes — and we like them, too. The cliff-hangers are back. Narrative purpose has been discovered. Old favorites like Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and Horn-Rimmed Glasses (Jack Coleman) take center stage. Even more encouraging: Kring himself is keenly aware that Heroes is broken. Here's his candid critique:

THE PACE IS TOO SLOW ''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''

THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER The premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter's vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ''We took too long to get to the big-picture story,'' he says.

THE ROOKIES DIDN'T GREET THEMSELVES PROPERLY New Heroes Monica (Dana Davis), Maya (Dania Ramirez), and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) ''shouldn't have been introduced in separate story lines that felt unattached to the show. The way we introduced Elle (Kristen Bell) — by weaving her in via Peter's story line — is a more logical way to bring new characters into the show.'' (That said, Kring says a few newbies won't make it beyond this second volume, which wraps Dec. 3.)

HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG Hiro's (Masi Oka) time-bending adventure in 17th-century Japan — where he mentored samurai hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders) — finally came to an end on Nov. 5. But Kring says it ''should have [lasted] three episodes. We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.''

YOUNG LOVE STINKS Kring regrets sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ''I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''

Yet while Heroes has finally found some dramatic traction, this second volume is pretty much a wash. The Dec. 3 episode has been retooled to function as a potential season finale — a move inspired by the writers' strike and a desire to give the show ''a clean slate'' when it goes back into production for Volume 3. At that point, Kring wants to craft a rebooted Heroes that can attract new fans and win back those who've tuned out: ''The message is that we've heard the complaints — and we're doing something about it.''

I can see the copycat girl being booted out.
 
That's where they're going I guess with the Adam character and Matt's father. When Sylar reincorporates back into the storyline I guess it'll be alright.
 
Good point, sexy. Although that Adam character's a bit odd. . . I mean he became a total cnut after watching Hiro with the princess. Too much of a change of character. You'd have thought he would've been on the saki instead.
 
Guess so, pretty. Well, revenge and vengeance is always an inspiration for a lot of characters ain't it??
 
I fecking hate the guy who plays Hayden's boyfriend, he gets to kiss her and everything and he's a fecking shit actor.

He'd better hope I don't see him walking around Clitheroe

:lol::lol:

You just hate her because he gets to kiss Hayden, not because he's a shit actor.

I agree with all that, it's still a great show though.
 
The last 10 minutes of the last episode was simply amazing. Season 2 has started out quite slow but is getting more exciting by the episode as of late, good stuff. Just wish Suresh can be a little more clever when taking sides.
 
When it appeared they had killed Noah off I was ready to kick the show in to touch, killing off the second best character (sylar being first of course) is not good. That final scene drew me right back in though.

As the man himself said "Holy shit!"
 
I was so gutted when Suresh shot Noah and I was even more gutted when that flying bastard was copping off with Claire.

How can I compete with a lad who can fly :confused::(

I don't mind wearing a blonde wig and cheerleader outfit and i'll even get breast reduction surgery to complete the look :D

I expect to be romanced though
 
Last night's episode was great, I dont' know who's fighting for the good though, Peter wants to stop the virus as does Adam (but I think he may be lying to Peter) and Hiro doesn't give a feck he just wants to avenge his father's death. I don't know who to support :(

But Peter's my favourite character (apart from Claire of course :drool:) because he has so many powers, he's pretty much invincible. I reckon in the final episode Hiro & Peter will find out that Adam wants to release the virus so they join forces to stop him.

Claire >>> Peter >>> everyone
 
Peter's got cool powers but he's a very poor actor. At least he got rid of that gay haircut he was sporting in the first season.
