Heroes

Minor spoilers ahead. 

Until recently I was only watching one tv-show regulary; the third season of Lost. Now I've stumbled upon another one, called Heroes. It's about a group of people who discover they have super powers, one can heal her wounds in seconds, another can bend time and space, a third can fly, etc. The show is a continuity-hell, mostly when following this Japanese guy, Hiro, the one who can bend time and space. It's also got a lot of plot errors, that are supposed to look coincidental but are too unrealistic to be convincing. Still, Heroes is actually a lot of fun, it's about super heroes, and that more or less says it all. What you may call super villains have already been revealed, so I'm really looking forward to some exciting battles when all the heroes, hopefully, gang up.

[update]

I just finished watching the latest episode, no. 6, and I'm so hooked! As mentioned Heroes has some continuity and plot flaws, but I don't care. Especially one scene stands out in my mind at the moment, the Japanese time/space guy (picture) comes back from the future all suited up with a katana and everything, being all cool and slick (he's a bit of a geek in the present), which means they'll probably all join up together and create a Justice League/X-Men/<random superhero group>-like gang in the future, and I can't explain how much I'm looking forward to that. Also…

… this guy is hilarous.
