Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has family issues serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita

I am writing a book about a person who possesses unusual powers but it is typical of his race and is not out of the ordinary involving humans of earth. He is not an Earthling.
This story is quite uniquely developed involving our species becoming super heroes, which if the mind and spirit do not develop along with the powers, leaves us in a predicament of responding to them in terms of how we can use them to our advantage and not to the good of our world and each other, which is the logical reason for such development. Spirit must be in the changes or they are again left to abuse and even lost.
The pondering of such a possibility is not far fetched to me probably because nothing would really surprise me at this point in my life, but this story did peak my interest because of the way it is presented and the theories behind it. Perhaps it is unrealistic at this time for humans to think that this could happen because I truly believe that we are de-evolving because of our stress and health issues involving the degrading of our DNA and the earth. Plausibly, radiation would be a reasonable cause of such mutations, but when one thinks about how life has evolved here, before the onset of pollution, plundering and the destruction of the earth, one can see how it could be possible for the "unused" parts of our brain to "come to life" with evolutionary progress.
Although I tend to relate to things in terms of possibilities with a bit of a stretch of my imagination, I do think that such a tale has a real possibility for mankind's future, if he can stop his dysfunctional determination to run towards destruction! I like the characters and how they are played so close to the edge of danger. However, it is not fun to watch them get killed off after you form some affection for them.
I like the idea of developing such abilities. This show explores how it might be if such things began to happen. The usual fear factor brings in the destroyers, the amazed creators, the curious scientists and the excited discoverers. I would hope the military doesn't get involved and that the show reveals positive integration of some kind.
It does seem difficult to believe that this genetic change should happen at a certain time in the adults because I would think that this kind of change is in the person from the beginning and probably would manifest in some ways as they grew; like Superman did! But, that aside, it adds good mystery to the show because it happens this way. Why remains to be seen! Did the government do it? Aliens? True genetic mutation and evolution? I am staying to find out. There's a lot of innuendo toward different potential culprits, but the government or human causation seems the most likely truth. Yet, it could still be based in evolutionary trends. Being educated certainly allows for some deep thinking, but as well, some good entertainment! In a way this show is brain candy! And some nice eye candy as added enjoyment. Good job, creative and imaginative. These days, new themes are hard to come by and old themes must be very unique to grab our interest because we've all seen them many times over.
I really like the show and am enjoying watching the DVD's without commercials! What a great relief it is! It ranks up there with creative, imaginative, good quality movie-making and interesting plots. It a keeper.
It takes a unique mind to be able to tell eight separate stories and draw all those stories into one large story. This is what Tim Kring's goal seems to be in Season One. The odd and unique thing is that Kring really doesn't seem to put this whole fable together in an awkward and disjointed manner; as a result Kring accomplishes the goal in a spectacular and wonderful manner. It has been said many times over that good science fiction comes more from the characters than the premise. Such is the case here. This is a story that has an amazing ensemble of actors working with brilliantly fleshed-out characters.
As a result of this, to me no one character of the heroes sticks out over the other--as many people love Masi Oka's wonderfully sweet Hiro, others love Hayden Panetierre's coming of age with Claire; or Greg Grunberg's Matt Parkman, and Matt getting used to hearing the thoughts of other people. Other's love Adrian Pasdar, who channels a little bit of his old Jim Profitt character into Nathan; while others love Milo Ventimiglia's Peter because of his uncertainty as his powers develop but his belief in doing what's right.
The one performance that knocked me off my feet in this season...of all people...was Ali Larter, and her split personas of Niki and the super-strong Jessica. Just when Larter seemed destined to be remembered for the Final Destination movies and her whipped-cream bikini in Varsity Blues, she effects a dual role that left me wondering at times if, in fact, Jessica was the real person instead of Niki. Plus, her work with Noah Gray-Cabey and D.L. Roberts stood out to me.
But again, all the performances in this freshman season. Santiago Cabrera's tortured Issac Mendez. George Takei as Hiro's father. The absolutely brilliant James Kyson Lee, whose Ando was Sancho Panza to Hiro's Man of La Mancha. Zachary Quinto, who gave depth and danger to Sylar. Gray-Cabey and Roberts. Tawny Cypress. Sendhil Ramamurthty, who ties all the protagonists together as Mohinder Suresh. Jack Coleman, who had to effect two separate personalities (Noah Bennett and HRG) much in the same way that Larter did.
Again, I pay all credit to Tim Kring. He had characters starting off in all separate places, introduced them and their skills, and slowly brought them together for a wonderful climax at the end of the season. Also, I would be remiss in not mentioning Tim Sale's wonderful artwork. His paintings, which were used as Issac Mendez' future-predicting visions, were incredible. Plus the music score for the series--wonderfully done by Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, or as they said in the special feature about the music for the series, "THAT Wendy and Lisa..."; the former members of Prince and The Revolution back in the day.
I really wanted to be cynical about all the hype about "Heroes". Simply put, I really didn't believe it could be as good as everyone thought. But more times than not through Season One, it was better than good--it could be great, brilliant, heart-wrenching (If not heart-breaking)...
In short--and if you read the title of this review, you knew this was coming--Heroes: Season One was all that...
