I wonder if NBC at first dibs on this show or if other networks passed on it. Anyone know?
It looks like they are working closely with the SciFi channel on this. SciFi is showing reruns on Friday nights and I noticed there was some SciFi advertising on the show tonight.
I don't think that they are working together, but it is some sort of
corporate synergy. Sci Fi aired Surface last year, and I think Heroes is probably being cross promoted as part of the same deal.As for tonight's ep, I was mostly thinking that this ep wasn't quite as strong as the first one, but the finale with Hiro blew that thought out of the water. Very nice ending.
I'll watch it again, but I'm assuming everyone caught the painted symbol they flashed in Isaac's loft was repeated in the pool in L.A. and in the data flashing across the screen of Mohinder's computer. Was it anywhere else?
Another note I will mention is I think the scoring for this show is outstanding. It adds a nice emotional tone to the show that isn't a Super Hero Action Theme.
Story wise, Claire's is still hitting the right tone to me, and is the most complete. It even gives her a reason to turn Super Hero as she seemed very happy to hear she saved someone's life. Mohinder's also working well, if a little vague. The cop seems forced in right now, the brothers are still annoying, and the artist is way too stereotypical for psychics. Hiro is an unknown this week, as he got a lot of screentime, but it was all story based, not character intro. But it does give a good future motivation, which works.
Based on the strength of these two eps, this will be one of only 2 shows I will definitely watch the night of regularly (Lost the other), rather than Tivoing 2 or 3 weeks for a marathon like I do on some others.
