I've read that she'll be "killed" by Brody.........she'll come back to life on an autspy table right in the middle of it with her torso wide open!! :shock:

TV Guide's description "teases" that we will learn the true extent of her powers.

Gargy · 10-05-2006, 12:00 PM

Well, having watched "In the weeks ahead" preview at the end of the pilot........and seeing her eyes fogged over and then un-fog as she gasp for air............I'd say we will get to see the "tease"!! 8)

Her head smashing against rocks when she's being raped.

Rape??? You must be joking???

Gargy · 10-05-2006, 12:40 PM

No joke.

Rich Johnston appears to be the Lying in the Gutters guy who gave the spoilerish info about ep 3. I thought it would be appropriate to verify (and give credit to) the source before making a new thread, but to each their own. 8) He also gives a review of the show here:

Quote:

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT HEROES

I reviewed the pilot episode of "HEROES," the new NBC show, back in June.

Well, now I've watched episodes two and three, thanks to a pre-broadcast (and in some cases pre-effects) DVD. There will probably be a few spoilers as I waffle on, so flip to the next bit to avoid them.

"Keep things light and frothy as long as you can."

Everything basically... continues. All the characters are coming to terms with their lives and acceptance of their powers. There's one exceptionally interesting plot twist with Hiro, who teleported from Japan to New York in the pilot episode. Seems he also went forward in time five weeks. The events that he sees, including the main character death that's been trailered, are now a future he has to change. Especially since he handily has a copy of the future, his current story turned into a comic book by the clairvoyant artist (and drawn just like Tim Sale) bought in the future, with which to guide him. This may allow him to change his own destiny... and make continual geek references.

The comic book feel of the show continues - the use of hand lettered style captions for people and places, the Sin City black-and-white-then-colourised look and we now have a comic book within the show itself. The telepath policeman knocks heads with and FBI agent played by the actress who used to be a telepath in Carnivale. We've also got an actual proper bad guy villain to contend with as well wiuth fingers all over the place. Oh and there's a cool bit with a kid in cape while Peter Petrelli (dig that alliteration) is trying to fly.

"It's New York. Everyone runs into one another sooner or later."

And the characters continue to intertwine, their plots screaming out for someone to connect them even as they walk past each other. It's definitely got that "Lost" vibe as if it were all the back story (and the island is the upcoming nuclear apocalypse) but it also suffers from too much of the stupid-stupid-people syndrome.

Oh and Indestructible Cheerleader Lass is incredibly clumsy. It's what her power demands, but come on girl. Does your neck have to snap every time you fall over? Still, she does allow a particularly gruesome ending to episode 3 that should be youtubed shortly...

It's fun. It's got that "This Is Going To Be A Five Year Series Sit Down Get Comfy You're Not Going Anywhere" feel so common in US TV Fiction of late, in such an obvious sledge hammer fashion that could be really off putting, if it wasn't just the kind of soap-opera-eyness that I'm a total sucker for.

TIP: During the show we see the web address: www.lasvegasniki.com. Going there takes you to the "Heroes" fan site, dressed up as the comic-within-a-show...

Nice find, Hero! Well, I think it would be interesting to see her powers be revealed to someone else, but there's one thing I don't get: how would she come back to life on the autopsy table? She's shown in the first 2 episodes that she heals up almost instantly, so I think that she'll probably completely regenerate before the autopsy even begins.
