Well, with the best show in TV – NBC’s Heroes – being on yet another hiatus until April 23rd, its pretty hard to come across new dirt on the show, but not impossible.

For whatever reason, the man behind marketing for NBC decided that Heroes wasn’t popular enough on its own and decided to start a rather sad attempt at a viral campaign. Though I have to give him credit, willingly making a parody of the best show on your network to try and further pump up the shows ratings was a ballsy choice, to say the least, and on that has appeared to have paid off.

For those that don’t know yet, Heroes has been joined by a new cast, the Zeroes. Zeroes are a group of “ordinary people with relatively pointless abilities” and that really, pretty much says it all. With over 220,000 views, the Zeroes promo video can definitely be considered a success, even if it is incredibly stupid. By why taken my word for it when you can watch it yourself? Enjoy!

Heroes Episode 19 “.07” Spoilers and Preview

Unfortunately our friends over at NBC seem to think going on hiatus is a great way to build suspense, which certainly explains the cliffhanger ending in Heroes episode 18 “Parasite”, but still doesn’t excuse the fact that we’re all going to have to wait until April 23rd for another episode of Heroes!

Heroes episode 19 “.07” will be the beginning of the end for Volume one of, what has been, one of the best TV series in recent memory.Unfortunately the series is only 23 episodes long, and as much as I wish it were longer, I really want to see how everything ties together and comes to an end.

So, since we’re going to be going without the best show on TV for another seven weeks, I’m going to try and spread my spoiler and preview posts out so people don’t lose interest in the show, though I highly doubt that will happen. Albeit, this first Heroes episode 19 “.07” preview video is short, it certainly provides some insight into what we can expect to see when the series returns on April 23rd. Enjoy!

NBC Heroes Recap – Episode 18: “Parasite”
March 5th, 2007 – Just as I thought it would be, tonight’s episode was a good one. Though not as action packed and mind blowing as episode 17, tonight’s episode definitely shed some light on different areas and the Heroes stories are all really starting to come together. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this show? If I have, it still hasn’t been enough. Heroes is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single best show on TV right now, and that really is something coming from a reality TV junky like me. The sad fact is that I’m a great deal more entertained by the creativity and innovation behind Heroes than I am that of any reality TV series. Reality TV is becoming stagnant with old and played out ideas and is in dire need of a serious change.

But enough of that nonsense. NBC Heroes episode 18 “Parasite” was chalk full of gooey awesomeness and bursting with tasty surprises, so lets get down to business. Find out what went down in episode 18, after the jump!

What can I say, I have a new found love for the people behind Global TV in Canada. The fact that we are privileged enough to get to see Heroes before anyone else is just plain awesome and it sure cuts down on the competition for having recaps done first. 🙂

Anyway, enough of the pointless gloating, lets get down to business. Heroes episode 17 “Company Man” was one for the ages and, without a doubt, the single best episode of the series thus far. Its going to be really hard to top last weeks episode, but I think this week should come pretty close, for a few key reasons: Hiro is finally going to get his hands on the illusive samurai sword – but will he keep it?; Mohinder and Sylar are going to make even more progress with “the list” but its going to cost them – big time; D.L. is finally going to clue in to things not being right with Niki; Isaac is going to paint yet another picture – only this one will be more horrifying than ever before; A new Heroes character, Missy Peregrym, played by Candice Wilmer, will make an appearance; Simone, who everyone thought to be dead, will come back to life! No doubt revealing her powers as a Hero and last but most certainly not least, the true identity of Mr. Linderman will be revealed and he’ll meet up with Nathan in some capacity!

With all that put out there, you know Heroes episode 18 “Parasite” is going to be good! For an even closer look into Heroes episode 18, including sneak peak videos and spoilers, check out whats after the jump!

NBC Heroes episode 17 Recap: “Company Man”

February 25th, 2007 – Oh. My. God. Wow! I know I have said this a number of times in the past, and I can almost guarantee that I will say it again in the future, but that was by far the absolute best episode of the series to date. I knew episode 17 of NBC’s hit TV show Heroes was going to be good, but I had no idea it was going to be that good. Tonight’s episode offered insight into so many things, I’m still trying to figure out how everything connects. I really am overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of information that was revealed in episode 17, it was fantastic.

From what I can tell, Heroes episode 17 was only aired on Canada and/or on Global TV, so anyone that isn’t in Canada and/or doesn’t have Global TV won’t get to see the amazing episode until the usual time, tomorrow night. Having that kind of a jump on everyone else is awesome, especially when the episode was so damn good.

Hiro and Hiro’s father make an appearance and are tied into the HRG and Claire storyline; Claude shows up and we find out what role he played in HRG’s past; Matt changes his mind and his alliance; Ted runs into troubles; Claire reveals all and so, so much more happens in episode 17 of NBC Heroes.
