Heroes

[jack]

Several people recommended this to me; I watched the first two episodes last night. It seemed very promising.

It felt like a slightly slow start -- I want to know what's happening already. If I'd rented the DVDs I would have watched on immediately. But I loved all of the characters (especially the Indian and the Japanese man and the cop); thought the powers were well thought out; loved the brooding feeling it portrayed; loved the armaggeddon forshadowing -- here is something important to worry about; and also the other paintings, having an intermittent precognition explains everyone meeting up extremely well, without any need for weird coincidence.

I made a little graph of the main characters, and how they're connected; it's spiralling together.

It gets much better :-)

I'm glad to hear it; in which case it must be amazingly good :)

Yep :-)

I've been looking forward to seeing Heroes for ages - so many people seem to love it - so far so good. I enjoyed the first two episodes a lot and think it's going to be very good.

Likewise, though I was only recently persuaded. I'd heard people talk of it before, but there are several popular shows that just seemed a bit pointless (for me, lost, though I still haven't seen it) and only recently did people whose opinions I trust to accord with mine explain. I was going to try to rent the DVDs from amazon. I didn't know it was on until I saw the trailer on tue.

PS. I hope you're feeling ok; is the cranberry working?

We started watching Lost, I think we made it into the second series before realising that it was really not worth the effort. I like the idea of the show but the execution of it didn't work for me at all.

Veronica Mars is another one that I've heard about and want to see (that's what finally tipped me over into thinking that downloading stuff would be worth a try).

The cranberry did a lot of good, finally properly fixed with the help of Tesco Diet Lemonade thanks for asking. :-)
