Holding out for a

[kingandy]

Just watched Heroes ep 1.

It's excellent, but they lose major points for the simultaneous solar eclipse in New York and Japan. (Hiro's powers are not a viable explanation. Somebody else on the roof would have noticed it was noon when it should have been night. I won't allow them that unless it's later explicitly referenced as unusual.)

Spotted the rather obvious cliffhanger-twist quite early on.

Second ep is on now. Could do without the constant evolution/destiny voice-over.

Science guy is pretty.

That is all

ETA: Banghra Magnum PI chase music is AWESOME.

ETA2: I am all for easing back on "Previously..." reliance, but I fear for the deja-vu inducing re-use of footage that is going on here. Put it in a "Previously..." or don't use it.

The "Previously"s for this show are horrible imo. There's also a really unbelievable reflection of the eclipse on the back of the taxicab that made me go "oh, come on" when I saw it. Fortunately, other bits of the story are good.

Cuts please!

Our household still hasn't seen them.

There are no spoilers in this post.

Unless somebody wasn't aware that there was a solar eclipse, but since that is an integral part of the series logo I figured it was safe.

Also there is a man called Hiro; he has powers and at some point in the episode is on a roof.

I have now cut this vital plot-spoiling information.
