HEROes(2006) SEASON ONE
This is really a hit and miss series for me! It started out
with a bang but then got dragged down with plots that were
really dark not very interesting to me!
EPISODES 00: UNAIRED PILOT(Set. 25, 2006):
Introduction to the many characters to come in this pretty
decent pilot: Nathan: ability - flight; Claire: ability -
invulnerability; Hiro: ability - controlling time; Isaac:
ability - to paint future events; Niki: ability - violent
alter ego; Matt: abilitiy - read people's minds; and Ted;
ability - create nuclear radiation!
These, and several others to come later in the series, have
their lives enterwined and band together to save the world!
