Heroes for me. Although I have a slight concern that the fun factor may die off in the second half of the season, what with the campy casting of Sulu and the latest series of ads. I look forward to Mr X giving us an early thumbs up or down tonight.
Does anyone know anything about the new Hero they advertised as adding? Mainly what actress is playing her? Not really looking for spoilers but curious about casting.

I don't know about that. Whenever I recommend something, everyone hates it. It may be best for everyone if I don't review it before everyone sees it.

Does anyone know if the episodes of this show usually show up on http://www.nbc.com the day after they air?

I'm not sure when they put them up, but I did notice that 24 has recently been added to itunes.

itunes started that last season. That is pretty much the only place you will get reruns of 24. Heroes has been playing on Sci-Fi channel.
Edit according to Sci-Fi.com they are showing the Episode Godsend on Friday at 7. Is that the episode that airs tonight?

Eric Roberts just joined the cast. He will be working for Claire's dad.
I thought this last episode was decent, got better in the last half hour. The next one looks wicked. I love this show, screw 24.

Heroes will probably be much easier - it's already on NBC's website. I liked the episode, although I hope they don't have more clips from Peter's little dream - it's already getting on my nerves.
I'm not sure how I feel about them all being three weeks since last episode. It helps move the story forward but it feels somewhat weird with the time limit they have. However, I really like where things seem to be going - and that multiple personality woman is safely locked up away from everyone else, WOOHOO! Claire looked way different. And I was really happy Zach isn't just gone - wouldn't have made much sense. Although the Haitian still hanging out with her doesn't make much either. It wasn't a great episode but I still can't wait to see the next one.
Favorite moment? The brief appearance of radiation man. Least favorite? Hearing the crappy narraration at the end creep back in after I thought it had left for good.

Three weeks since the last episode, my mistake.

Ali Larter and her character have passed the point of annoying and has gone to just awful, that storyline needs to just die.

Am I the only one who kind of likes Nikki/Jessica's storyline?
At least she's more interesting than Mohinder.

Ali Larter's storyline is such a waste of time... she's not even a hero, she's a crazy schitzo with superhuman powers when she goes nuts. They better end up making her a villian or something, or else this would be the most pointless thing ever... she isn't interacting with the other heroes at all, she has nothing to do with the save the world storyline, Claire's dad, or the exploding man... it's terrible. Not a huge fan of DL or the kid either, though I think they could improve if they met up with the others.
Claire and Hiro were really good in this last episode, as usual. Radioactive man is looking more promising. Like the idea of an invisible guy only Peter can talk to too, though I think he'll bite the dust by the end of the season.

Mohinder is the worst character on the series by far. I hate him and his dull storylines.

I'm no fan of Mohinder, but at least his character means something to the story, he helps push the overall thing along... Niki is completley friggin useless, no connections anywhere. Oh wait, she had random nutso sex with Nathan Petrelli, hehe.

I like Mohinder, and I enjoyed his time in India and all the stuff with his family. I'm getting tired of Claire's dad though, he's the stereotypical type of bad guy, like something out of Desperate Housewives or 24.
Nikki is boring but she was less boring this time, by the end it appeared that her personalities were merging? It was a bit confusing.
Was the invisible guy Christopher Eccleston, the current Dr Who? And yeah radiation guy seems interesting, I hope we see more of him.

I just watched the episode from last night and it was EXCELLENT! The ending was great, IMO. I can't wait for next week's episode.

I'm pretty sure Nikki is going to start interacting with the other characters, by the way, considering the fact that her/DL/Micah show up in Peter's dream.

It was a pretty good episode.
It felt as though the last 11 episodes built up this incredible momentum and now, we're starting all over again.
I really hate that Zach can't remember anything and that they have to start that frienship over again but at least he's still in the show. And why do they both look different (Zach and Claire)? I know it's been two weeks and all but...
The Nikki storyline is in serious need of some kind of infused energy from the other Heroes. I think why so many people find the storyline annoying (including myself) is that it's so disconnected from everything else and is VERY repetitive. Also, we don't really care for her character. Solution: start showing some freakin connection with her and the other Heroes and give us something to make us care about her.

You're not. I have never really understood the outright hatred of her character(s). I like her. She's not my favorite hero, but she's not my least favorite either. For me, I don't care much for Mohinder and Isaac. Isaac is only good when he's hopped up on goofballs, paintin' the future and what-not.
But, I don't hate any characters, either. They all have on and off moments. I found Nathan to be ten times more interesting when he was with Hiro.

Claire looked different? How so? I don't think she looked different at all.
