I’ve always loved superheroes. I can remember watching Superfriends on Saturday morning when I was a kid. And whenever there is a new Spiderman or X-Men movie, I fork over the dollars to see it at the theater instead of waiting for the DVD. So I immediately liked the concept for the new NBC show Heroes, which has a bit of an X-Men vibe to it only without the black leather suits and Professor X. The idea is that there are people out there whose genetic mutations give them “superpowers”. There’s the teenage girl whose body regenerates itself anytime she gets injured, the guy who can fly, the guy who paints pictures of horrible occurrences before they happen, the guy who can bend space and time to teleport himself to other locations and times. I missed the premiere because I thought it was on an hour later than it was, but NBC.com had the video up where I could watch it yesterday. Very handy. So it goes on my weekly viewing calendar, right after Prison Break on Monday nights. Check it out if you’re a superhero fan.

You KNOW I loved Heroes. *g*

I was really into it when I heard about the concept. I was an X-Men cartoon fan and always love superhero movies (until I see them…seems most are only blah). And I’m finishing a superhero novel!
I enjoyed the premiere, though it was a lot darker than I’d originally hoped. A little too much desperation for me. But I’m going to continue watching it.

LOVED Heroes! We’ve been waiting and waiting every since they first started showing the teasers. I liked it. Just hope they know where they’re going with it.

Wanted more chicks who weren’t blonde bimbos. Alas, I did not get what I wanted.
