Am_I_Evil Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 And whats up with the policeman who can hear peoples mind???? Is he going to be added as a main character? he's always been a main character...he just wasn't introduced in the first episode.... the pilot was originally 2 hours but they split it up....had they kept the original pilot we would have seen him in the first episode....

quigley0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Who reads comics? Anyone ever read Rising Stars? This show reminds me of that, in a way..... Well, maybe not totally, but....I give it two thumbs up! So far we've seen a psychic, time manipulator, telepath, super-reg, split personality person, and two people who can fly. Anyone else with powers I am missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwanders Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I saw the show for the first time last night. I think the show has promise but it was much darker than I thought it would be. Some of the gorier scenes were a bit of a turn off. Whats up with removing people's brains? Whatever happened to letting the viewer use their imagination? How exactly do you depict a brain removal without showing it, besides just having some cop walk out of a room and saying "his brain is gone". In the age of CSI:, Law & Order, 24, etc. that just won't fly. It's not really gory, either. Pretty standard for TV corpses. I quite liked the frozen dude. His head reminded me of those frozen scooped out oranges they use for sorbet at fancy restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Shake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I liked it and it's keeping me interested. Like someone else said, it's a lot darker than I expected. I keep thinking about the brain thing and then the explosion at the end was unsettling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Versaw Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I noticed this last night: If any of you looked at NBC's site, you may have noticed that Hiro has a blog: http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/ There was an entry after the pilot, that has since been removed from the blog, but is still accessible here: http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/09/...date_17428.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibutteryboy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 veeerrry boring. Too much going on with everyone to concentrate on each individual enough. The second show was worse yet. snore Too cut up. Not enough explanation as to when they developed thier powers. Claire Bennet They start her out showing her falling from a bridge and living. ok, that's cool but what lead up to that point in the first place? I mean, why didn't they show her first encounter with this power? It seems that the writers/producer had to cut something out and unfortunatley it was that. Who's that guy she's with and why does he know? It's not like they are a couple so what lead up to her telling him about her powers? This portion juts seemed to be spliced together from a bigger portion. Very mumbled. Hiro Nakamura Another cut up piece of filming. One minute you have him staring at a clock and the next he's transported to NewYork. Sure didn't take him long to figure out his powers. One minute he's talking about how eventually he'll be able to teleport and the next he is teleporting. I mean, seriously, let's have a little development of thier abilities and how they struggled to fine tune them. He seems to have just went from stopping a second hand clock which took tremedous effort to transporting across the globe just by closing his eyes. I give this show the standard 13 episodes before it goes off the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 3, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2006 Loved last night's episode. Did anyone else notice the typo when Hiro was talking to his friend over the phone. They had everything spelled as "everthing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootWind Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What I am confused about is Hiro. It looks like he transported to NY 5 weeks later, and he went back to where he started when the explosion was coming, meaning everybody is a live again. Doesn't that turn back the clock on everyone else's plot development so far? Or is his scenes not taking place in the same time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Yeah...Hiros storyline jumped ahead when he was in New York. Presumably everbody else is back in the same timeline as when he was on the subway. Did anyone watch it in HD? The newspaper article at the end about with the headline about the guy winning the election was a bunch of repeated text about some collision involving a comet. Anyways...After two episodes I'm hooked. This show will last more than one season. I bet they're just gonna throw out all this stuff now and get people wondering wtf is going on then possibly go through the back stories LOST style.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 4, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hiro has the ability to bend the space-time continuum. That gives him the power to teleport and go back/forth in time. The dude with the brother can levitiate. And the girl has tissue regeneration powers. The indian guy pretty much sums up the abilities we've seen so far in the first episode. Oh, and the cop has the ability to hear people's thoughts. I almost forgot.. another guy can predict the future through paintings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted October 4, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2006 It's drawn by Isaac, the guy who can draw the future. Didnt he die tho? the artist...or was this in the future :unsure: He died like that bloke did with his skull cut open (which I thought was gross) :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonhead Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 It's drawn by Isaac, the guy who can draw the future.So the guy goes from going crazy and painting the future while high to publishing his own comic book in, what was it, 5 weeks? :huh: My prediction is The guy is eating their brains to gain their powers What? :D They already showed just how dark the show is...

Doesn't that turn back the clock on everyone else's plot development so far? Or is his scenes not taking place in the same time period. Hiro's scenes in the second episode take place 5 weeks after everyone else's scenes. You'll notice that the newspaper shown to Hiro just before the explosion shows that the politician brother (who can fly) had won the election, meanwhile the brother, in his scenes, is still preparing for the election. Hiro had teleported through both space AND time, from Tokyo on October 2 to NYC on November 8. He then teleported back. Everyone else's stories took place on October 2.

spacey Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 ^jack is right. hiro was ahead of everyone by 5 weeks. i like this show, lots of stuff is going on. but it knida sucks how there's only enough for like 5 mins of each character per episode. i still don't get what is going on with the mom tho, what is her power?
