Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

taken its time. Hopefully it'll catch up if the US have a break.

and I must get round to watching the first half, otherwise I'll run out of space in my planner..

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Anyone know if this has a repeat? Clashes at the moment with other stuff.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Looks like the next episode (ep 15) is being shown on SD BBC3 at 10.30 23 Feb, so they seem to have switched the previous scheduling where we would get the BBC2 showing in SD and the BBC3 showing in HD.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Let's hope the quality is pretty good again. From looking around the net it doesn't look good for Heroes at the moment as ratings in the US are dropping rapidly.

And the worst thing they ever did was kill off my avatar.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

I've no idea how they assess these things but it appears that most viewers in the US record it and watch it later. Obviously that must knock its ratings.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

I'm really enjoying this season. My only critisism would be the producers/writers have maybe over-reacted a little, after seaon 2's slating. Seems that this season has packed in possibley 2 season's worth of story, affecting the pacing.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Very unlikely. To date BBC HD have never repeated their US acquisitions after the original two showings the week they were first broadcast.

Only watched the first series, then tuned off once the second inferior (in my opinion) series began.

Might start watching again, as it sounds from your description that they're trying to reboot the show, and get back to what made Heroes so good in the first place.

Am I right in thinking that the BBC3 episodes will not be broadcast in HD (until the following week when they air on BBC2)?

Yep, just the first episode (the BBC2 one in HD) not the BBC3 one.

Yeah I'd read that the producers aren't happy with this series at all and are going "back to basics" for series 4.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Back to basics on season 4 is an understatement - I loved heroes and got everyone to watch it - now, I couldn't really care if I watch it or miss it, it's just annoying me now...

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Sorry for that mini-grump then.

I expected so much more from this show and it's just really let itself down badly. I think it should go and sit in the corner for a while and think about what's it done until it's sorry...

agreed

the writers all need sacking

most of the characters are sooo out of character is just silly

the only character worth watching at the moment is sylar

like yourselve i dont care if i miss a few episodes whilst before i couldnt wait to watch the latest episodes

(at this rate heroes could be all over very soon - i hear US ratings is also bad...)

when you have quality shows like BSG,24,Lost,Damages - you can see why the ratings are going down hill

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Don't really have a scooby what it's all about now as chasing circles would have been a better title; however, I thought last nights HD was simply amazing, when Nat was on the phone you could count the individual hairs on his hand. don't remember much else as I was just gaga over the HD quality. beats the Mrs and her Lark rise to candelarbra or whatever its called in HD.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

What annoys me most is what they have done to Peter.

Series 1 was ace - Sylar vs Peter.

Sylar is going from strength to strength while Peter is becoming a wimp now!

Taking all their powers away was also another bad idea.

Re: heroes back bbc hd monday 23 feb

Couldnt agree more with the last two posts ! The best Heroes character was Peter and now they've raped him of pretty much all his powers .

I found myself cheering Sylar on in the last ep !
