“Something is happening.”

As soon as I heard there was gonna be a new superhero TV show, the geek in me (which is a lot of me) got excited. After months of waiting, the series premiere of Heroes on NBC finally started last night. The show could’ve gone wrong in so many ways, but it was actually really well done all the way through. It’s definitely got that X-Men feel, which I expected - there’s a Professor X type, a flyer, an indestructable, a teleporter, a profit, etc - but at the same time, it still managed to feel new. The characters are all believable (well, as believable as humans with extraordinary powers can be) and interesting in their own ways. The only thing I don’t like about it so far is that it’s in New York; it seems like just about everything on TV is in LA or NY, and I’m tired of it. My message to Hollywood: DO A SHOW HERE IN P-TOWN FOR CRAP’S SAKE!

Though the concept behind Heroes isn’t original, its pilot episode was really well executed. They kept the story moving along without getting too wrapped up in any one particular facet of the show, and left me only wanting more. I’m looking forward to next week’s episode.
