Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has family issues serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita

NBC's HEROES engages in vicarious wish fulfillment and explores the fascinating nature of super powers and what it would be like to be gifted with amazing abilities. No surprise then that HEROES, premiering on September 25, 2006, quickly became one of the hottest new shows of 2006. While this show's big hook hinges on the superhero theme, HEROES doesn't come all heavy with the gaudy special effects. There are no costumes, no superhero code names (unless you count "Flying Man!" as a code name). Instead, HEROES focuses on down-to-earth storylines which ground the cast and the fantasy elements. The everyday settings and situations keep it all relatable. To pique interest, the episodes do end on a cliffhanger, and, on occasion, the show actually doles out answers to several of the ongoing mysteries.
This is a humongous cast, and each actor steps up. Plenty of compelling characters here, but the breakouts seem to be: Hiro Nakamura, the sweetly nerdy and infectiously enthusiastic Japanese office drone, played by the cherubic Masi Oka; Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), the invincible high school cheerleader; and the sexy, tortured Niki Sanders (Ali Larter, oh so sensuous). But also effective are Adrian Pasdar as the unflappable and coldly ambitious Nathan Petrelli and James Kyson Lee as Ando, Hiro's sidekick. One of the best things about the show is Lee and Oka's fun chemistry. As well, in Lee, the show provides us with a rootable point-of-view character. With the core roster being so large and varied, there are multiple story threads. But, man, do you get hooked with each one! The overriding story arc, involving an impending apocalypse in New York, manages to tie in all these subplots.
Every show like this needs a good villain, and we are introduced to several candidates. Zachary Quinto (who does look like Spock) is the very scary boogeyman Sylar, a superpowered serial killer who hunts other gifted individuals and murders them to steal their talents. There's the mysterious Mr. Linderman, who seems to have his finger in every pie. My favorite bad guy, though, may be H.R.G. (Horn-Rimmed Glasses, aka Claire's dad), who, as the season progresses, develops into a fascinating, multi-layered character.
So many things to like about HEROES. There's the obvious stuff, with the fan boy's dream of a premise. Then the well-rounded characters with whom you empathize, and their incredible powers. The writing, dabbling in the fantastic but rooted in reality, consistently sucks you in. Each episode forms a chapter in one encompassing narrative (so you can't really afford to miss one). The show drips with human drama, edge-of-your-couch suspense, stupendous action (when it crops up), and an overhanging sense of dread, of Armageddon being only one misstep away. It certainly engages in moral dilemmas, or, put another way: "Is Peter Parker cheating when he sells photos of Spider-Man?" Needless to say, the twists and turns, the shocks and revelations, when they surface, will stun you.
HEROES creates an intricate internal mythology, all credit to series creator Tim Kring and his co-horts for some well-conceived world-building. And, as mentioned, HEROES doesn't go overboard with the f/x, but when the show does indulge in f/x, it does so with ridiculous flair. In particular, the stupendous injuries which Claire sustains are of the queasy variety. In particular, one character's power of prophesy adds a darker, even more dramatic dimension to the show, giving rise to the question: Is the future mutable? Props also to comic book artist Tim Sale, whose contributions cannot be overlooked.
Finally, the high muck-a-mucks actually come thru with the special features, of which there's a walloping plentitude. To start with, HEROES - SEASON 1 offers cast and crew audio commentary on 13 episodes. This includes Tim Kring's thoughts on the unedited, semi-alternative version of the pilot "Genesis," which offers up a deleted terrorism story arc. My favorite commentary, though, is on the awesome dystopian episode "Five Years Later." Amazingly, there are 50 deleted scenes. There's the 10-minute-long "Making Of" featurette, as well as segments on the show's stunts, special effects, and musical score. An interesting profile of color blind comic book artist Tim Sale (who rendered Isaac Mendez's paintings). And you can even play the freaky-cool "Mind Reader" game.
Got nothing more to add, really. If you haven't yet, watch the dang show and get set to have your bump of curiousity nudged mightily. Oh, and pay the writers already, so Season 2 gets back from limbo.
I am writing a book about a person who possesses unusual powers but it is typical of his race and is not out of the ordinary involving humans of earth. He is not an Earthling.
This story is quite uniquely developed involving our species becoming super heroes, which if the mind and spirit do not develop along with the powers, leaves us in a predicament of responding to them in terms of how we can use them to our advantage and not to the good of our world and each other, which is the logical reason for such development. Spirit must be in the changes or they are again left to abuse and even lost.
The pondering of such a possibility is not far fetched to me probably because nothing would really surprise me at this point in my life, but this story did peak my interest because of the way it is presented and the theories behind it. Perhaps it is unrealistic at this time for humans to think that this could happen because I truly believe that we are de-evolving because of our stress and health issues involving the degrading of our DNA and the earth. Plausibly, radiation would be a reasonable cause of such mutations, but when one thinks about how life has evolved here, before the onset of pollution, plundering and the destruction of the earth, one can see how it could be possible for the "unused" parts of our brain to "come to life" with evolutionary progress.
Although I tend to relate to things in terms of possibilities with a bit of a stretch of my imagination, I do think that such a tale has a real possibility for mankind's future, if he can stop his dysfunctional determination to run towards destruction! I like the characters and how they are played so close to the edge of danger. However, it is not fun to watch them get killed off after you form some affection for them.
I like the idea of developing such abilities. This show explores how it might be if such things began to happen. The usual fear factor brings in the destroyers, the amazed creators, the curious scientists and the excited discoverers. I would hope the military doesn't get involved and that the show reveals positive integration of some kind.
It does seem difficult to believe that this genetic change should happen at a certain time in the adults because I would think that this kind of change is in the person from the beginning and probably would manifest in some ways as they grew; like Superman did! But, that aside, it adds good mystery to the show because it happens this way. Why remains to be seen! Did the government do it? Aliens? True genetic mutation and evolution? I am staying to find out. There's a lot of innuendo toward different potential culprits, but the government or human causation seems the most likely truth. Yet, it could still be based in evolutionary trends. Being educated certainly allows for some deep thinking, but as well, some good entertainment! In a way this show is brain candy! And some nice eye candy as added enjoyment. Good job, creative and imaginative. These days, new themes are hard to come by and old themes must be very unique to grab our interest because we've all seen them many times over.
I really like the show and am enjoying watching the DVD's without commercials! What a great relief it is! It ranks up there with creative, imaginative, good quality movie-making and interesting plots. It a keeper.

The first thing you notice is how great Heroes looks. The style is very comic-book like in appearance. Secondly you have a lot of really interesting and diverse characters in there, how Heroes weaves these characters together is an art to itself. There are bound to be one or two you connect with, i did with Hiro and Peter. Thirdly is a intriguing and involving story. You are always wanting to know what happens next. You think you know what will happen but you are suprised with the plot twists. So quite honestly this is the most complete and satisfying "sci-fi" series i've seen for years. Its different - its not aimed at just teens or it doesn't contain needless sex, language or violence (well not too much violence !). I eagerly look forward to the next series.
I love Heroes.
Go flying man !
So there is no problem with the show, perfectly good entertainment really. But I do find that thebplay all feature on each disc means that, when you reach the second or third episode on whichever disc you are watching, the vid and audio go out of sync quite badly. Almost to the point where you may aswell be watching a badly dubbed 70's Kung Fu movie. Not sure if it is the boxset or just my player (watching them on an xbox 360) but it's quite annoying.
But I shall still give it three stars as an average...5 if it weren't for the piss poor quality of the package itself...
However, I'm sure you already knew all that so I'll talk about the actual box-set. I recently bought this and watched all 25 episodes in only a few days - I couldn't stop myself because it's so addictive. Each disk has a few episodes and some bonus features, which are excellent. These include a full 71 minute pilot episode, many funny and informative commentaries with the cast and creators, special effects, stunts and more.
One of my favourite features, though, was the menu. I know it sounds a bit stupid but it's rare that you get an incredibly thought out and separately shot "trailer" on a DVD. It features Isaac Mendez' loft (A very important set in the series) and swoops around entering the paintings and going to different scenes of the series. It's just a small feature, I know, but makes the DVD all the more epic.
Best of all, however, is the price: at only £10.99 how can you possibly resist!? Seriously, for one of the most fantastically made dramas of all time it's definitely worth a buy. :)
