I'm watching every episode for her. Sweet. Fucking. Jesus. Have never seriously considered stalking before now...

Yeah...I also like Nikki and her (so far) completely psychotic blood-drenched maniac alter ego. Being a kill-crazy mirror ghost is a wicked super power :D
Im loving your appreciation for righteous anger as expressed by mindless, vengeful comical violence! First Die Hard, now Nikki!:)

(Oh, she gets better!)
 
yes, really liked it. It's not particularly well written, especially the narration, but it's intriguing alright and I want to find out what happens and how the characters develop
 
Am I the only one who didn't like it?

I thought the characters were all pretty undeveloped - apart from Nikki who seems a bit more spooky than the others.

The cheerleader (wolverine anyone? amazing ability to heal) who always has accidents like getting rugby tackled and her neck broken....

... the japanese guy was slightly interesting but it's a much used narrative in sci fi.

I tell you what, compare this to say, battlestar galactica and compare the craft of well written scripts, developed characters ... nah it seems to be from the Lost type of programmes.

pish

From the first episode you're wanting complex characters and multi-threaded plots with topical commentary (and need I add large dollops of sex) ? :confused:

BSG never got onto the beeb and it started in 2003. (even though I say BSG is by far superior...to just about anything on TV).

Anyway..that cheerleader is younger than Boomer, so up yours. :D

nah, just some characters that 'got' me that interested me.

this just wasn't it.

it seemed overhyped (have the BBC shelled out loads of money for it) and rather uninspiring.

I'll give it another couple of episodes though, at least charlie brooker in screenburn gave it a bit of a thumbs up so I'm hoping my faith will be rewarded ...

that cheerleader ... don't you think she's got a bit of an orange face? bit too much satsuma tan / grout-like foundation dontyathink?

a) I didn't see any hype, just this thread so i watched it. I'm sure I've flicked through it on cable before.

b) Charlie Brooker is back on?? I always bloody miss that

c) nah..she looks like Mena Suvari in American Beauty :p

I thought it was very slow but hinted at good things to come, everyone I know that loves BSG loves this (and they mainly aint Lost fans either) so I figure I'll give a chance...
 
it's not bad...

i downloaded it all and watched it in a weekend...

unfortunatly i though a lot of it was kinda crap

but hiro and ando are fun ... (if a little clichéd in places)

first time i have ever seen "dai pinch" translated as a swear word though

oh and mr bennet is cool

pity peter sucks
 
For those that missed last night the 2 episodes are repeated slightly later on bbc2 tonight.

We're actually watching the entire thing again. :) Bound to notice more things the second time round.


Also, I don't remember the first 4 or so episodes being fabulous. Some of the initial characters didn't hook me (and the bloke was worried it would be executed like lost) but it totally sorts it self out I thought.

I don't trust her at all. It was a little too convenient when she turned up to save the day.

Fuck I know!

She's like Audrey Tutu crossed with Summer from the OC.

and yes she's up to know good, but i wouldn't care!
 
I'm lack a must-watch TV show in my life at the moment, but I think this could fill the void. :cool:

I also <3 Hiro, and mirror-killer woman definitely has the most gripping "power" so far.

Exactly! Stick with it, starts a bit slow but gets really really good.

*cough* The Wire *cough*

Charlie Brooker is always saying the wire rocks, I'll have to d/l the feckers and watch 'em .. .unfortunately the gf doesn't really do cop shows, even though she has been slightly wavered by me insisting on watching The Shield (or "Mr Angry Testicle" as I call him)

Anyway I'll stick with Heroes and watch a few more episodes and see how it develops...
 
*cough* The Wire *cough*

Not ANOTHER one on my back about The Wire :p

I tried watching one episode, couldn't understand a word anyone said, then fell asleep about 10 minutes in. :rolleyes:

But it's a bit of a challenge now - I'm going to watch it dammit!

And anyway if I don't start watching it it's probably going to be grounds for divorce (or the other half is going to run off with Charlie Brooker or something).
 
I'm just a Wire pusher :D

You could always put the subtitles on if it's unclear, I think other people on here have done that. I've never found it that hard to understand personally, but my other half is always asking me what they're going on about.
 
Did they cut a scene from the first episode? I'm sure I remember a bit where Claire was having dinner with her family and she tells her mum about walking through fire, and her mum misinterprets it. It's the scene that introduces her brother and that stupid dog.

Maybe I was just out of the room at the time. :confused:
 
I can't remember which episode it was in, but i thought it was at least in the first two, been so long since watching them originally i can't remember.

Might have had something to do with this but i doubt it, since that scene was still in there.
 
I remember the dog fromone scene in last nights eps, he licked Claires blood from the floor, but was that the only scene with the mum?

Surely there would be no reason to cut it.
 
Just had a look at the iMDB forums and it turns out there were loads of short scenes, etc cut or shortened from the episodes shown over here last night (including the scene mentioned above).
 
Just finished the series two days ago wicked:) slowly grows on you!

anyone can pick holes in something, its great suspense, really reminded me of saturday morning cinema where you get a recap of the last weeks episode with some extra details sometimes thrown in:)

quality show roll on series two!
