Heroes, yay!
Just watched the first episode of Heroes. DUDE! ♥ ♥
Okay first a little backstory; I heard about Heroes in Kati's lj. I checked out the summary and going through the storyline and reading about the characters I was like 'okay this is a mix between The 4400 and X-Men with a bit of Lost thrown in the midst - bored now!' But there was a trailer and because this is me we're talking about I couldn't resist watching it.
In the brief moment of time that it took me to watch it I'd completely changed my mind. Yes, saying I'm easy is actually an insult to all the easy people out there. But seriously that trailer? Totally did it for me. So I was ready to wait til september when the show would premiere, right? Except the internets being what it is... turns out I didn't have to wait that long.
So! That premiere rocked! Man, that's what I'd call a show premiere, all right. And I have the feeling it's gonna be another series where I'm going to enjoy pretty much all the characters - I foresee a lot of squeeing. Well, if the rest of the series is anything like the pilot, that is :-) Speaking of the characters, can anyone guess who's my favourite among the male characters? Come on, try. I guarantee you there won't be any surprise if you'd seen the episode lol
Peter! Peter is my fave. And look! Two new siblings in the neighbourhood! With issues but also a lot of love and oh man, if they keep that up, I'm going to have yet a new family to add to my Favouritest Family list!
But I thought all the characters were really wonderfully introduced - what I mean is, usually when there's a bunch of characters and we need to follow each of them I sometimes get bored with at least one or two and I just want the scene to be over so that we can go back to my favourite kthxbai! But it didn't happen here and I loved that.
Loved how we entered their lives and what is better yet is that their powers were already there and kicking for most of them - no slow introduction to show the slow discovery of their talents. Here everything was quick paced and it was like no one was getting a break. They weren't losing any time... I really enjoyed the rhythm.
Oh and I squeed at the very last scene, heee such a lovely little twist! The moment when we realise that it never was Peter who was meant to fly but his brother and Nathan saves him... dude, I might have squeed a little lol
It also made me smile because there was this moment at the precinct during the convo between Peter and his mom and he's talking about how he always had a connection with Nathan and I thought 'no wait, is he going to have the flying power or the mental power?' but I forgot about it afterwards because I was so sure that he was speaking about him when he mentioned the dreams and, of course, when we saw Isaac's painting... so I really thought it was nothing important, that little line, right? And turns out he was channeling his brother! And then Peter jumped off the building and he was falling and falling and Nathan flew and saved him omg! I just adored that scene...
Like I adored a lot of other scenes. And the rest of the characters, like I said.
Hiro is so very endearing! He's so cute and he's a geek and he wants to be special and have a different life and he's the cutest thing ever!
Claire was awesome too and I just love how that little cheerleader is the one with the regenerating power. It kinda kicks ass, you know? Though maybe not as much as Niki's own power, though that one is definitely freaky - hi violent Alter Ego Girl!
I quite liked Isaac and his paintings though the whole cutting his hand off? I could have done without - though I liked the whole... well, saying 'gore' might be a bit too strong but it was still a bit gore, anyway, what with Isaac and Claire and Niki and the blood and mutilation, you know? They didn't try to sugarcoat it, it was nice *g* In a bloody way, I'll admit, but still.
Me, I always had a preference for mental powers as opposed to physical powers, but they're all interesting to see anyway.
I also thought Mohin was really interesting - motivated, dedicated and super smart, what's not to love?
Oh and yeah, the Bad Guy has been introduced... and look at that, he's Claire adopted father! Should be interesting too. Hopefully :-)
Also, apparently there are more characters that still need to be introduced? Come to think of it, I hope it won't become 'too much', you know? *fingers crossed*
But yeah, I tremendously enjoyed that first episode. So hey, if you're curious? You can a) check out the trailer at the official site and if you like what you see then b) look for the torrent? And you'll find many familiar faces too - I know I did :-)
Since it's too hot to sleep atm I think I'll - actually I'll take yet another shower and then I'll watch Heroes again and then I'll start with Eureka. Tonight is New Series Night *g*
PS: Hey Kaja, I did say I'd let you know if I liked it, didn't I? lol

Mwahaha! And that's where I thought of Mousey and how she'll squee about the brothers. *eg*
It was such a wicked little setup. We were all meant to think Peter was going to be the one with the flight power, and to remember the little "we've always been connected" line later and marvel at the foreshadowing. I admit I fully fell for it, and enjoyed it. I also admit to a certain amount of squeeing and flailing at that final scene. :D
In a way it's so cruel to Peter, who thought he'd finally get something of his own, only to turn out that it's still his brother who got it. And he was needed as the catalyst, because I believe it's for his sake that Nathan suddenly discovered his power. ;)
I also adore Hiro. He was so ready for his superpower thanks to his geekiness! And he has an awesome power. ;)
Maybe we'll get to see some mental powers too, who knows? All I know is that now I have to wait until September to find out...
And like you noted, so far I like all the characters. Unlike you, I was a bit thrown off-pace by the fact that there was, for the most part, no slow revealing of the powers, but in the end it's refreshing. There are still lots of issues, after all, what with Isaac being completely freaked out by his ability (I could *definitely* have done without the gore) and Nikki only glimpsing it.

Lol Being predictable has its perks :-)

It was a great set up; I adored it too *happy sigh*

I was a bit disappointed for a moment for Peter, yeah. In particular in light of the whole 'you always lived in my shadow' thing. Like you I thought, okay now he has something special, something of his own - and turns out it was his brother's. But do you think he's going to have some kind of telepathy/empathy himself? Or was the whole connection to Nathan just something between the two of them? Or really just the catalyst for Nathan's discovery?
Hiro was too cute for words; so happy about his own power, so eager. And all those geek references... they sure do know how to play us, don't they? lol
I think we should get some mental powers too; I mean, it's not complete without those, is it? *is hopeful*
Yet another reason to look for September, whee!

And yeah, I'm thinking Peter could be the empath, so he could get a power and a mental one at that. :>
no subject
And I'm totally going to send good vibes so that Peter does turn out to be an empath, cause it would be so sad
for meif he didn't have any powers!no subject
Heh, yes, you did and I'm very glad. Guess there's another show I'll be watching, huh? Oh, the hardship. :p

YAY!!!!!!! MORE HOT GAY INCEST ON TV FOR ME TO ENJOY!!!!! For serious, Peter and Nathan are like 70 times worse that Sam and Dean because Peter RILLY RILLY wants to fuck Nathan and he's not even trying to hide it, whereas Sam occasionally tries to pick up chicks.
And with that, I blow you kisses and FLAIL because JEBUS, that was fucking GOOD TV!
no subject
Because just - please! Peter isn't even trying to hide it. Oh no. It's not even subtle, it's all but spelled out to us! God, I'm already in love, you know?
