Cracking Heroes series

[veg4681]

Been so intrigued (& addicted) by this series since it started and it finally ended today with a cracking end. How I've always hated that blatantly brash
hooray-American type movie 'Independence Day' that this kind of American series improves on, perhaps an afterthought from 9/11?? Hope I'm not the only one watching it but just had to babble on about it .

Missed it. Was making a patchwork jacket.

Brill programme. Flawed, human, good effects, red herrings. LOved it

[Nicos]

Me too!!

So which superpower would you ask for then????
Can't decide between time travel and the ability to eat and drink without getting
fat or more than merry!!
Or...to be able to work hard on the lottie and the poor old muscles and joints telling me when to stop!
Or to be able to speak and understand any language... ( well ..English would be a start..where's that spell-check???)

Loved Heros, just loved it! Can't wait for the new series! Not sure which power I would choose, will have to think about that one!!

I loved it too,

Feeling a bit "deflated" now - no, not that much, I'm not quite that sad! Just thinking of what to do on Wednesday nights now, erm how do you make a patchwork jacket then Flum

Seriously though, it had us glued to the TV and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven't ever watched a TV series before that gave me goose bumps every week.

Roll on the next season.

Watched it all on the SciFi channel earlier this year and then again on BBC2. Thought that the last few minutes of the series were the weakest of the whole series tho, bit of a let down after such a brill build up. A few friends have down loaded the next series off t'internet and say that it's more hit and miss, one brill episode followed by an average one. It'll be on BBC2 next year so you can find out yourselves but be warned it's a short series due to the writer's strike over there.

As to which power??? Hmm, I think the flying. I am one of those weird people who likes the sensation of falling (don't ask!!!) so that would be really cool.

I loved 'Heroes' too. I didn't think I would when it first started but I really enjoyed it especially 'Hiro'. I've heard that the second series hasn't been received as well & even that the creator Tim Kring has apologised that the writing doesn't appear to be as good but that often happens with series that take off & then follow ups are rushed out if the first one is successful.I'm looking forward to it though & will give it a try. Not sure about the superpower I'd want, I always wanted to fly when I was small, was forever jumping off walls & flapping my arms!

[Nicos]

I'm good at flapping about SueA !!

i missed episode 7, then just couldnt get back into it. still there is always the repeats in the new year

erm how do you make a patchwork jacket then Flum

You start by making the fabric! Pieces of fabric cut and pieced together into 6" strips then stitched onto a foundation fabric. When it's all done you cut out the pattern pieces from it then make up the jacket and lining as usual. I realise you are probably just being polite - and everyone else is skipping this (apart from Two Sheds mebbe) but I'll put a pic on when I've finished!

..... but I'll put a pic on when I've finished!

Polite but nosy - look forward to seeing the piccy!

[Seahorse]

- and everyone else is skipping this

Not at all! I've been wondering if the beautiful coat you're wearing in the pic if you click your sig was handmade (I'm thinking yes!).

As for Heroes, I haven't watched any of it but I can't think when I last saw such a fuss about a tv prog (possible exception: Life On Mars)! I feel positively left out and will try to catch up via DVD!

Oh, piece of cake then?

Yes please, looking forward to the pic.
