My younger brother was telling me about it just last night...I guess it might be good, but my reservations were about the title of the series...far too simple. But I guess if LOST can manage it...

I only saw one. It was really cool though because it was the sort of thing I could easily see myself daydreaming about. I guess it was sorta more like a "save the princess" type episode than anything else. I sure hope the rest of the show isn't the same thing over and over but I'm glad I caught that episode.

It's an awesome show. I love the acting, the characters, and the plotlines.

The variety it displays is a BIG plus.

Am I the only one who thought it started out strong, but got a bit weak near the end?
I loved Hiro though. He's such a cute, typical Japanese person. Still, I'll probably watch season 2 if I can find the time.

Saw Episodes 2 and 3 last night (from Season 1), and I'm loving it so far. Hiro is amazing! Haha, I loved in the first episode, after he teleported, "Yataaah! I did it! Hello New York!"

Hiro embodies all that asian cuteness. No-one does cuteness like them asians. *squee*

Heroes is my favorite show on TV in a long time!

I'm not a big TV watcher - usually find it rather mind-numbing and senseless, but this show seems a bit different from the rest.

Seen all except the last episode in Season II...need to try to see that, but it's hard as we don't get them here in Northern Ireland...maybe I'll try to pick it up when I get back to the 'States this summer.

Episode 20 ("Five Years Gone")....AAAAH! Wow, talk about plot twists...

EDIT: I saw Episode 21, and realized I had actually caught part of it a while back on TV, randomly. Good thing I hadn't kept watching...

Done with Season 2, and it was some good stuff. I've also read through the webcomics, so now I'm good and ready for it to come back on air in September.

I'm somewhere half-way the second season. It's a bit slow, but finally getting interesting again.

It gets that way, unfortunately. But I think it's got some great setup, and I'm expecting a lot out of Season 3.

Yes, it can be rewarding in the end, but it does require your attention constantly. And since all episodes are so entwined, you miss a lot if you miss one episode.

If you miss one, fortunately, there's sites like Got Heroes that have the episodes. (and in low-quality, so it loads fast and is (I think) essentially legal, because it's like somebody videotaping the thing)

But yes. The recaps help to refresh your memory. And the last episode is great.
