Um, you know...
...if someone had bothered to tell me that Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale were involved with Heroes, I would have made more of an effort to watch it as it aired.
We bought Season One Saturday evening, on our way back home -- and we're already thirteen episodes in. Last night, I almost fainted when I realized I was looking at a very scruffy, very hairy Christopher Eccelston. George Takei was another surprise.
Also, I love Clea DuVall, so I squealed when I saw her name appear in the opening credits.
Character-wise, it's kind of all about Hiro for me, but I'm also adoring Matt the Mind-Reading Cop. Though it should be mentioned that I'm liking Leonard Roberts MUCH more as D.L. Hawkins than I did as Forrest Gates, the Initiative Jackass.
More on this later, when we've finished watching.
