You know, I think that if there was a person you didn't like, and you handed them Wasabi Peas and a Vernor's ginger ale, and told them to inhale the smell of Vernor's through their nose and then take a bite of the Wasabi Peas and then exhale through their nose, you could kill them and totally get away with it.

This has so much potential.  I hope they don't screw it up.

There are ten people on the first look frontpage.  That bodes ill.

However, Heroes is still my #1 "to watch" show of the year.

That said... ReBurn, they're going to screw it up.

I tell you one thing that bothers me right off the bat from watching that trailer: they're already introducing a conspiracy to the show.  Shady government types and such.

To me, the interesting part is how these various individuals react to becoming extraordinary and how they choose to incorporate that into their daily lives.  Trying to shoehorn a conspiracy in, especially right away, worries me.

Yeah, I would think that the course for the series to take would be to have the first several episodes focus on how the characters deal with their newfound abilities.  Obviously someone is going to go bad as some point.  Then bring in the conspiracy.  But now that I think about it, that is rather predictable.

Well, it does have Ali Larter in it.  Perhaps her character is a whipped cream fanatic...

What I had originally read is that it's not a conspiracy against them (at first), but a worldwide/world-ranging "problem" that they all have to get together to solve.

Guess they changed it.

Conspiracy sells these days.

You've obviously read more than I have, so you may be correct.

Well, I haven't read anything.  I mostly just saw the trailers on tv and thought "that'll be cool."

Saw the pilot.  At least, the pilot that was filmed, before being edited down to 40 mins (unless they do a "presented with limited commercial interruption by Sphincterene (www.mintyass.com) or something).

Very interesting.  Some really funny moments with the Japanese guy.  They only covered like 6 of the people in the original treatment I read, which means there's another bunch of superheroes waiting to be discovered.  A lot of the hyperbolic connections between the people in the show a la the flashbacks of Lost -- Desmond and Libby, Bernard and whatshername seeing Sun and Jin at the airport cafe, etc.  It COULD get confusing.  But the large cast, I think, is what's really going to do it in. 

The show will last maybe two months, which sucks, because it has potential.  I hope NBC puts it on SciFi -- since they own it.

Aw, dude, I forgot to wear superhero colors.

Oh well.

Tonight is the night.  Despite the fact that I've seen the pilot, I'm still going to watch it again, just to see if they've tightened/sharpened anything.

My favorite Hero so far is the Asian guy.  I also love the way they treated the Japan part of the pilot in the DVD I saw.  I hope they didn't change that.

It was okay.  It has potential, both to become something really spiffy and something really terrible.  I'm betting on the latter but hoping for the former.

Ali Larter is still astonishingly hot.

The best part of the whole thing was that it led me to watch Studio 60 last night, which was really, really good.
