Hi there, I'm pipkins, I'm french and I live in Marseille in the Southeast of France. I'm 24, jobless and with way too much free time on my hands.
How did I discovered Heroes? By a friend of mine...french too. It was a day like any other day, I was posting on my favorite messageboard (french too), when I notice her signature....mmmmm well well well my dear marli (her username) had found a new fandom, I should try it. And now I'm here.
I love Peter, I'd like to have his powers. But Hiro and Isaac are both in my favorites.
I'm lazy, I can be a little sarcastic, and I'm really really shy. |

Joining the live chat surely would be nice, but there are two major problems:
- We can not receive any TV channel from the US in Europe, that's why Heroes is officially not available here, and it may take a year or more, before any European country will show it in a dubbed version (oh boy, I hate dubbed stuff, it's so unreal, you have no idea, as if the persons dubbing the actors are sitting in a cabinet doing some other stuff in the meantime).
- The different time-zone would make it difficult, because Heroes on NBC starts at 9pm. 9pm EST = 3am CET, and 9pm PST = 6am CET.
It would be pretty pointless joining the chat, if not being able to watch it at that time. That's one of the disadvantages when thinking globally...  |

| Superhiro writes a synopsis as the show is airing and posts it immediately afterward. You may wish to read it and join the chat after it or avoid reading it so that you can see the show at your leisure. |

No way! Reading the synopsis before watching the ep would be *THE* spoilerfest you never wish to be part of...
It is, as it is, so I'll even have to avaid being here in this forum for the whole day tomorrow, until I finally can watch it in the evening (which means 24h from now). I already read too much about "Homecoming", saw the 8 min preview, saw the pictures, ARGE!!! |

Bonjour Pipkins. Thats all the French I know. Sorry. Nice to have you here.
Can you get NBC.com? They air Heroes over there within one day after the show airs. I lurve that site because I can watch the show as many times as I feel like it. |

Doesn't work here in Europe. NBC (as well as all the other US networks) check on IP adress, and only IP ranges from the US can take part in online-viewing.
I just checked, when I try to view the full episode of Heroes online on nbc.com, it tells me "We're sorry, but the clip you selected isn't available from your location. Please select another clip".
At least the website of NBC can be accessed. Take Showtime, their website www.sho.com isn't even available from outside the US. If I try to access www.sho.com, it just tells me "Sorry - We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, these pages are intended for access only from within the United States."
What a nice global world it is...
P.S. ATM the only way to be able to watch Heroes here in Europe, is to download the episodes in an "unofficial" way. |

That is really unfair! Why call it a world wide web, if only one teeny part of the world has access to it? Surely unfair!  |

"Teeny part of the world" is a good one....
But it's true, it's totally unfair, and the whole copy- & broadcasting-rights laws would have to be revised to change that matter. It may never happen, that an American TV channel can legally be received all over the world. It's all about money, as always (they wouldn't be able to sell a show to a network in a foreign country, if exclusiveness can't be assured). |
