Ok so who else is unbelievably excited about this tonight? I remember we had a Heroes thread from last season, and that tons of people here watched it, but I'm just so stoked for the new episode tonight. I just moved and don't have a DVR anymore, so I'm gonna have to watch it live with commercials and all. But I have NO idea what to expect from the show, as I haven't read any rumors or news or anything for the show (if there even are any...)

Anyone else watching tonight?

I'll probably watch the Heroes Season 2 premiere tomorrow. I still have a couple of episodes of the Heroes Season 1 HD DVD set left to watch.

Is this a series that is worth picking up?
I normally pick up seasons after they air (since studios are now releasing them so quickly), and have not looked much into Heroes.

It is dreams that will survive, for a dream is immortal.

Season 1 is well worth it.


Not sure if I'm going to watch Season 2 or not - don't have a DVR anymore and NBC is bailing on iTunes, so I won't be getting it on the AppleTV. Not sure how consistent I can really be about sitting down to watch a show at the same time every week (haven't done that in at least 5 years).

Absolutely. It was my favorite show last season. Hopefully the new season lives up to the first.

I completely forgot that everything was starting this week. Yesterday I went into Dashboard and saw Simpsons, Family Guy, Heroes, The Office, My Name is Earl, etc, all starting this week.
I have no idea what this season's Heroes is about. Hopefully it is as good as last season.

This morning I noticed that Heroes is one small line away from Herpes. Just a random thought.

Thats why we have torrents. I try to remember to watch them, but if I miss an episode... I'm most interested to see where they go this season, considering the weird ending.

I'm 50/50 on this. Excited that it is premiering tonight, bummed that I have to wait a week between episodes. I marathoned the first season over a weekend.

That's my problem too. Last season, I started watching midway through the season and used iTunes to catch up. Then I used my DVR to record every episode, so whether I was at work, out, or just busy, I didn't have to be home at 9:00 on mondays. Now it looks like my only option for the near future is to make sure I'm free on Mondays at 9. (seeing as I don't have a PC to be able to watch the damn show through NBC's stupid website)

Since NBC left iTunes now, and they are offering their shows online for free (or some), I found Heroes, but it is only like 6 or 7 episodes. Does anyone know if they will be releasing the past seasons online? If so that would be great so I can just watch them and then be caught to watch this seasons if I so choose.

It's all already online, for free. You just have to know where to look. Thank NBC for offering no alternative.

I see 23 episodes of Season 1 in iTunes. Crappy $3 discount for buying the whole season.

If I have to buy them I will just buy the DVD so I have a hard copy and can rip them at any resolution I choose. No offense to Apple or iTunes.

I don't know what time it's on, but I will say you should watch it from the start. It's that kind of show.
