Heroes on NBC - Hope You're Watching
So, I really hope you watched Heroes on NBC (if you missed it, nbc.com has the last episode that aired online available to watch and the Sci-Fi channel also airs the repeats). This show has the potential of being much better than just good, possibly fantastic. The thing that worries me the most is that people will try it out and won't stick with the show as it develops the characters. Hopefully people will see the potential in this show instead of bailing immediately. It's like the X-Men movies. Most people will agree that X2: X-Men United was the better of the first and second movie, but I don't think they should be compared. X-Men was the introduction of the series where we get to know how or why these people we are watching realize that they are mutants and discover the strength of their powers, whereas, X2 we already knew the characters and we watched them be just them. Heroes has already been compared to X-Men, so I think this is a good way to think of the show. Stick around past the development of the characters and I have a feeling none of us will be disappointed.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I have to admit that I was one of the naysayers that didn't want to be involved during the slower (albeit interesting) development of the characters. But I have been pleasantly rewarded for my patience (due to my boyfriend's insistence that I watch) and now love this show! The nbc marathon was a good move on the network's part to get us late comers engaged.
