[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6715797, member: 1125"] NBC has rebirthed its superhero drama "Heroes", four years after the Cheerleader jumped off the ferris wheel and publically came out only to have the original show cancelled. The new reboot starts by showing how the world has come to terms with mutants/Evo's in our midst and then kicks things up with a terrorist attack by a mutant supremacist, the human backlash and mutants being hunted down by a vengeful/fearful public - yes its all very Days of Future Past. The show has introduced new characters and put old characters in new situations. Suresh is supposedly the Mutant supremacist and the Cheerleader is presumed dead (but maybe not). We have a few new plot threads set-up including the Odessa terrorism conspiracy which features a secret evil organisation that now owns Primatech and HRG having to investigate since his mind was wiped on his own orders. We also meet a mutant kid trying to survive as a teenage geek while being hunted by mutant haters (and being helped by another character of dubious morality) and the brother of a mexican superhero redeeming himself via the Evo underground railway. A seemingly unrelated plotline in Japan features a girl and a magic sword that is able to transport her between real world Tokyo and a Samurai-themed digital world and finally we get a vignette of another girl doing stuff with the northern lights, trying to stop whatever is coming (presumably this will tie everything together) Apparently Hiro, Micah, Parkman and Angela will be back in time They're interesting plot elements and I enjoyed the Katana girl sequences and the character development going on for the murderous Chuck. The geek boy and bully story was very cliche, but I can handle that. I liked this first episode(s) more than I do Agents of SHEILD but not as much as The Flash -as a show the original Heroes started well but went stupid as the seasons progressed. Do you think Heroes Reborn can last the distance and compete in the Superhero TV market? [/QUOTE]
