Do you have any idea when it will start airing on BBC2?

Are there any plans yet for a r2 boxset?

I haven't heard anything official, but I'm pretty sure the series will make it over here in Europe, just like "Lost", "24", "Rome" etc etc.

Cool. Seems like a show that I would like. As I mentioned before, I downloaded a few episodes, just havent gotten round to watch them yet.
LD, do you download the 300-400 mb sized versions?

Yup. Will get the DVD box set, though as soon as it is released.

Same here, if I like it. If I dont like it, I will probably stop watching it after a few episodes.

I think most of the people on this site will still get the official release of a movie/series, even if they've already seen a bootleg. We're addicted to buying stuff :D

I dont buy music though. (but hardly download it either...)

Ooo the ending was great, really want to see next week, but please tell me, they are not killing off Suresh!!. The fight should be good, as both people have the same powers :)

Errr... they're having a break again! D'oh! Until late April. :cry:

Last episode was very good.

Oh and Kurgan, you only assume you know what 'Previously on Heroes...' is in Japanese. :D Who apart from Japanese speaking people know that Hiro isn't actually saying, "If you speak Japanese don't tell the stupid idiots who don't that I'm cursing them right now"? :lol:

I'm glad that Isaac is dead, he was annoying.

Has Nathan become a "bad guy"? He may try to prevent the others from stopping Peter going nuclear.

I don't have a good feeling about Nathan. Seems like he could be too easily corrupted by power. I guess we'll have to wait and see, though. . .

I was not surprised that in the end Linderman was funding The Company (or whatever that shadow organisation is called). Since he had his hands in every other cookie jar.

I wonder what power Hiro's father, Cmdr Sulu has (if he has any that is)?

Does the power not have to come from the mother?

Still, would be neat to see George Takei time-travelling, or doing something other than being the asshole dad he plays. :P

This week's 'future' episode was outstanding. I mean, a lot of the other episodes are well written, but this one... very impressed.

Yeah, I think interest in the series has really spiked with this latest episode. So many possibilities . . . .

Can't wait for the last eps of this season. From what I understand, everything with this season's storyline should be concluded to viewers' satisfaction, with season 2 beginning a different storyline. At least I HOPE that's their intention. I don't want this drawn out the way LOST has been. The characterization just isn't stong enough to sustain that kind of spreading thin of the plot.

Good news about next week's episode! I don't know if Sulu has any powers, but if the trailer for next week's ep is correct, he's back . . .

Quite a nice level of characterisation for Sylar in this week's episode; the fact that he attempts to differentiate between the killing of 'special' people and the innocents that would be involved in his 'explosion' does show a little depth. The events of the episode then push him fully into nutjob territory which is, again, a decent rationale for what he 'could' do.

Not seen the trailer, but Takei coming back does sound good.
Not been a bad week for TV in general, actually. :)

Wow... just saw the first 2 eps today on the internet. Just gotta say: Awesome show! Thanks for recommending it to me, guys. I used to be a huge superhero-fan when I was younger, so this is right what I needed :D Great show. Most definately will get this show on DVD when it gets released over here. :D
