I couldn't bear the thought of watching someone solve another murder case in a slightly different way to last week with no story telling needed. Kring was right, people who are still watching the shows in the old fashioned ways are dipsticks and in turn holding back the change in the way we are watching TV. The sooner broadcast TV dies the better. Apart from lost, bsg, and sometimes 24 there isn’t anything that comes anywhere near heroes in terms of quality.

I was so unprepared for it that I couldn't watch the whole trailer until now. BUT you should have heard all those little teeny bopper girls there for Twilight wimpering and screaming. hahaha.

I enjoyed every episode going to either future or past. Maybe it's the viewer and rating problem? It's another show that hasn't gone far. If you compare this show with Bionic woman, there's really one central role. Is that because nowadays tv dramas favor a huge list of main and supporting casts??? Oh well it's sad that a sci-fi show like that got cancelled... I thought Journeyman was a pretty cool show. I enjoyed every episode going to either future or past.

The rating system is used by the network to sell advertising time (which is what actually funds the show). So if they could find a way for you to not skip the commercials, then they'll count the DVR numbers. Network TV here in the states is almost totally ad-supported. If the companies don't think you're watching the ads, they won't buy the time to air the commercials. Personally, I'd like the whole thing switch to Internet-based video on demand. Since the whole of TV is going digital in February, why not take the model they have on the website (full episode with one or two commercials you can't skip in each break), and stream them directly through the cable companies to the TV.

I don't think he was trying to slam the fans. He knows the majority of the people who watch genre shows are smart and intelligent. He also knows that they tend to watch shows via the internet or DVR. His frustration seems more to be the fact that the studios still look at "normal" TV viewing as the benchmark, and shows like Heroes and Lost don't fit that benchmark well. It's almost impossible to get people to sit down and watch a serial show if they haven't caught up. If they have caught up, they do it online (and thus fall into the non "sap" crowd). From that point of view, trying to keep a serial show going for the non-techies is near impossible. You have to cater to a crowd that isn't your core fans, and those are the ones who complain because a show isn't brain dead boring like your average sitcom. He could have chosen his words better, but I think his frustration is valid. Until the gauge of a show's success moves away from the traditional "bottom in seat at 8pm" metric, shows like Heroes will continue to be considered failures. I wonder what ratings would look like if the industry actually seriously considered DVR recording/watching and online hits.

He was sued out of existence by Superman (DC/NPP), then 20 years later was acquired and re-introduced by the same.. during that time Marvel Comics had created their own Captain Marvel(s) and still hold (most of) the rights to the name, which is why you see the name Shazam more than Captain Marvel when referencing the Big Red Cheese.

Usually when I impulse buy a dvd, I end up disappointed and have to go donate $10 to slice/dragon page as an act of contrition but I felt this one was well textured for a super hero story.

This thing *exudes* originality. And I quote from the episodes page: "The fantastic story of how the crew of Unity came together and their adnventures before Unity's construction was complete." I hope this fanfic turd is made by a bunch of junior high school kids trying out what they've learned in computer graphics classes in school (if so, I'm sorry for calling it a turd and congratulate you on your hard work), because if it is a bunch of jobless nerds living in their parent's basement, well, it shows.

And I've been a Trekker (not Trekkie) since the 70s. I'm like J.J. seeing the Enterprise for the first time in the Motion Picture was a real rush. I'm thinking I may feel the same again after seeing the new trailer. Love it. And I’ve been a Trekker (not Trekkie) since the 70s.

SciFi channel is all about cheap and we all know it. Farscape was scrapped because it was too expensive. Stargate in all its incarnations survives because it is mostly filmed in the forest with minimal visual effects each episode. And Sanctuary is so cheaply green-screened it makes me cry.
