Heroes is becoming one of my favorite shows - I think, for me, the decisive moment was when Hiro appeared from the future on that NYC train. (I've been riding trains like that all of my life.)
Heroes is mentioned favorably in the TV Roundup of the Light On Light Through podcast - also available on iTunes - and in the twice upon a rhyme blog.
I expect they'll be lots of podcasts and blog posts devoted to the show. |

| I love Heros. I have liked it from the very first show. I can't believe that anyone would really dislike it. |

Someone mentioned to me last week that Heroes is just a re-play of X-Men - which this person loves. And he said Heroes annoys him.
But I'm with you - I can't see how anyone wouldn't love Heroes. It's much more human, humorous, and charming than X-Men. Sure, some of the hero powers overlap. But there's no onel ike Hiro in X-Men, and most of the other Heroes have somewhat unique expressions of their powers. |

There is the blue guy that teleports, but he can't manipulate time.
Sure Heroes is like X-men in the beginning. There're alot of shows that are similar, but it's the differences that make them unique. Heroes, to me, is to X-men like Smallville is to Superman. Smallville is still on the air. How many years has it been? What makes Smallville unique is that the human side of the people is emphasized over the hero side. That's what I love about Heroes. We see more of the characters, and less of their heroic personas. |

Agree completely - astute analysis. It's very hard to put together a successful save-the-world and an intriguing, delightful, enjoyable individual character mix - and Heroes is doing that very well.
I like it better than X-Men and far more than Unbreakabe - which was individual in focus but too dark for me. |
