Seven Minutes to Midnight

Heroes continues to impress as the story unfolds. I'm looking forward to the next episode and wondering how long the show will maintain its pace and style. I am looking forward to seeing some of the characters interact a bit more; up until now, they've only crossed paths occasionally and momentarily. Still, good show.

Yes, it has really been good. It almost feels though they need a two hour show next week for everyone to be able to come together.

I am incredibly eager for the next episode. I really wonder what the pacing will be like if we have most of the characters on screen at once.

I want to know who the super powered serial killer is. And I have a theory or two about the future apocalypse, but I'll save that for a later LJ post.

I like it, but it frustrates me with how up-and-down the episodes are. One episode is full of Holy Shit Moments ("I'm Hiro Nakamura, and I have a message for you") and the next is just people wandering around.

I can't decide if I like the whole "little snippets of lots of characters" approach better than the "each episode has a focused mini-story" approach. For example, two episodes ago we saw Matt and the FBI agent investigating Radiation Guy, but only for about 15 minutes. Would that story have worked better if it had been an X-Files style superpowered investigation, with the whole episode focusing on hunting this guy down? I dunno.

Still, next week's episode looks to be super cool.

i love the show, it is one of the "smartest" shows on TV , I think. I cant watch it when it runs normal time because i cant stand to sit throught he comercials =)

The commercials for Heroes are intriguing, but I've become gun-shy of television shows with ongoing story lines. It can be SO frustrating when a network pulls the plug on a show you've committed your interest to, and suddenly the thing disappears without even a token attempt to wrap up the loose ends.

The last time this happened (for us) was with the sci-fi/conspiracy series Surface. Scott and I loved the show and adjusted our schedules to make sure we would always be home to watch it each week. Then it just vanished. No warning. No explanation for what the creatures were below the ocean's surface, or how they came into existence. Nothing.

So now when watching American television I pretty much limit myself to shows that can explain everything in thirty minutes or less.

i forgot about that show....i did remember seeing the season finaly of the show, but it never came back....hummm.

And the season finale was just that, an ending for the season, not for the show. We were left hanging at the edge of a cliff. Once again. It's happened to me often before, but I think Surface was the straw that broke this camel's back.

That must limit your options somewhat.

Perhaps when Heroes is out on DVD or in reruns or something and how the series (or at least the season) ends is a forgone conclusion, you might want to check it out.

>>Perhaps when Heroes is out on DVD<<

That's my plan.
