Been watching the first season of Heroes. I remember snubbing this show back in the day (I think I was in a "hating on Lost" kick and I vaguely associated the two for reasons that escape me), and now I'm pissed I did. Bitchin' show. I love how, though the show is serious and mature, the superhero connection looms over it, sort of like how in a fantasy there's always some former civilization that was bigger, better, and more magical that was destroyed by something or other, and now the present is living in a post-former civilization era that somehow makes it feel sad and yet grander at the same time by comparison.
