            I've never seen it. When my DISH gets installed, hopefully I'll be able to pick it up through DVR (slowly).

                Yeah, guess I didn't make that clear.

                  Re: the actor who plays Hiro

                  This isn't Oka's first time in the spotlight. He landed on the cover of Time magazine at the age of 12 for being an Asian whiz kid. With an IQ of 180, he majored in mathematics and computer science at Brown University, where he also minored in theater.

                  "It was just me trying to break out of my own comfort zone," he says about his turn to performing. "It was a great way for me to learn about human nature, learn more about myself. ... And I love the idea of using both sides of the brain."

                  After graduation, he went to work as a digital special-effects artist at George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic studio.

                  "I got kind of burnt out after my first big project, 'The Perfect Storm,' " says Oka, "and I was thinking, I've got to give acting a try while I'm only responsible for myself. If it doesn't work out, I could always tell my grandchildren that grandpa gave it the old acting try, and look at me now, I'm a couch potato."

                      About time!! They left us hanging with two good guys seemingly slated for imminent death for far too long.

                      I can't believe either will die tonight though

                        I don't think Peter is going to die, as the previews are making me believe. I think the guy telling his mom he's dead in the preview is the chick who can make illusions. I think Peter kill Syler.

                          What is the show like? I read it's about people with super abilities, but I've also heard it allegedly being similar to LOST. So what is it really like and how worth watching is it?

                            It's very good, well worth watching.

                            It's about people with super abilities, it's like LOST in that it's an epic story (better than LOST's too) that unfolds slowly with lots of twists.

                              What are the premises of separate episodes normally built around? I mean, LOST was (at least for starters) where one episode dealt with one new aspect of the island. On Heroes, is it a save-the-world-each-episode show like Stargate?
