Your thoughts on the Heroes TV series. I like it

Three episodes in and so far so good, NBC picked it up for a full season last week so we'll get at least 22 episodes.

I'm hoping that we get some atypical stories, it'll get old quick if we don't get some "villains" soon.

Tonight's episode was good. I think Sylar's identity will be revealed soon. (I also think Sylar is trying to bring all the others out into the open, but that is just my prediction..he could work for the 'bad conspiracy group')

having watched the first episode twice, the second 2.5 times and now the 3rd I have seen the same "S" pattern with the three dashes all over the series. It appeared in Prof Suresh's program, Claire had it on the spine of her textbook, and the mystery man at the barn had a pendant of it around his neck. I suspect that we'll learn more about it in the future.

I really hope that this level of detail/foreshadowing is presnt throughout the series as it continues.

Sylar had it all over his apartment as well.

The artist had at least one painting of it in his studio as early as Ep 1 as well. I'm wondering if it is supposed to be a representation of the double helix, showing the specific base pairs responsible for the "heroes".

It could be. More specific than the double-helix, it could also be an intron, with the genes marked on it.

I find myself bluring out their corresponding powers in Aberrant. I wonder if the creator ever played?

Hmmm. Good show, for now. But it has me worried. It seems built around a central mystery. That gives you two problems. First, you can't string it out for too long without frustrating people. Two, once you pop the cork, do you have something else to pull people in?

I have a feeling that we have 3 "plots" within the show.

1) Syler the Brain Eater
2) Horn Rimmed Glasses guy (aka Claire's dad)
3) The Nuclear destruction of New York

My gut tells me that they may be tangentally related at place but are on the whole, independant crisises.

In the Pilot I saw at Comic Con there was a character we have yet to meet who figured into the nuke plot, he has been hinted at in the show already. I'd also point out that the train which wrecked in Texas said "Nuclear Regulatory Commision" on at least one of the cars.

Time will tell how good the show is but so far it's the best genre show to get greenlit after Lost's success IMO.

I agree with all of you.

First Let me say that this show is refreshing and very well done. It could have gone either way, especially considering the title, it could be what it is or it could have been the Justice League Pilot, Mutant X, Superboy, et al.

Its nicely marketed and doesn't shy away from its comic root rather it embraces them and show what can be done with the subject matter on the small screen.

It is quickly becoming one of my favorites and is already on my list for people wanting to get a feel for my "Aberrant Inspired" game.

That brings me to subject 2: Watching things like this makes me want to poison the eyeliner at White Wolf Games. Considering how badly this game was mismarketed and looking at the plethoria of material selling like hotcakes that should cater to Aberrant tastes (pardon the pun).

Finally I think that Sylar is an organization or control group that is trying to keep a lid on the "Specials" either for their own interests some one elses. It would be the only way to explain the range of powers and abilities as well as the traveling between the coasts that has gone on.
