Have to admit, it got my intrest.

Watched the trailer, it looks good. I hope it is good, and that it makes it. I am slowly running out of shows that I want to watch. And by slowly I mean I am down to one.

The cheerleader is the little girl from Remember the Titans except she's grownsed-up a bit (okay, that's where I know her from - she's done other plenty of other work according to imdb. Titans is one of my favorite sports movies evaR). Turned out to be pretty good looking, too which I guess shouldn't be a shocker cuz she was a cute kid.

Ahem. Back on track... I loved the look on her face when she said what "take" it was of the experiment/test. It would be cool to skip the whole "she learns her powers and freaks out" thing and concentrate on her and the other folks dealing with the powers. We can learn the origins via flashback. Let's get right to the plot!

Looks great! Can't wait for this one. Although if it conflicts with 24 and Prisonbreak on Monday nights, I'll be in trouble. Between this show and 4400, the superhero thing seems to be being handled pretty well so far on the small screen. Can't wait to see more of this. It reminds me of an old comic that I can't remember the name of. The concept started with a bunch of random people on a trolley in San Francisco getting zapped and all ending up with powers. They didn't realize till later that the common link was the zap on the trolley ride.

Anyway, I look forward to this show since the world always needs more...heroes.

The Ultraforce people were the ones on the trolley, and I think Nightman's origin tied in with it as well.

Looks good and converges nicely with my newfound Mutants and Masterminds kick. Hopefully this will catch enough of a mainstream audience that it will not be a victim of mid-season cancelation.

Just the sort of angle on the Superhero 'thing' that apeals to me too. Definately going to be watching for this to hit the schedule.

I'm in total agreement, I always prefer the "Hit the ground running and Flashbacks for filling-in" system. You've got a very limited shot at hooking people, and if you start with a slow build-up you're done for.
