This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC's Heroes Reborn Series Finale – Chapter 13 - Project Reborn Wow, what a way to redeem your show! We all loved this episode. Due to the fact it was the finale, and since we had so many voicemails, we are goin to forego the usual format and just respond to the voicemails as they came in once the final episode aired.  We respond to voicemails from Susan in Wisconsin, Shawn in Atlanta, Susan again, Lucy and Parker from Indiana (twice), and Carl in Hawaii, and lastly, an email from Steve in D.C. Thank you all for your calls, facebook posts, tweets, and emails. It was great to get to know you this season. Links mentioned: The Signal, FireflyChat. Joan of Arcadia Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, and Halt and Catch Fire, Tim Kring says there is more Heroes to be told.  Even if it's only in a video game: Be sure to stay tuned to this feed and website for a special series wrap up episode with Lilith and Ricky from PrimatechFiles (@primatechfiles on twitter)

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC's Heroes Reborn – Chapter 12 - Company Woman We got the news this week that this would be the only season of Heroes Reborn.  Even though we were told it was a one off mini-series from the beginning, we had hoped that if it pulled in good ratings, they'd renew it. We get the H.E.L.E. explanation, but too little, too late in Jeff's Opinion.  (Which can be said for most of the series) Will Matt meet his maker in the river? Ren holds the key to level 10. Emily seems like a totally wasted character, that has zero regard for her parents well being! Ashes to ashes, Joanne is DUST!  We all LOVED how Luke took care of his wifey! A fire/trash tornado blows through Union Well H.S. gymnasium. Phoebe escapes and Quentin turns, again.  Laura is hoping for the return of QRG! We have 2 voicemails this week, one from Lucy and Parker in Indiana (unfortunately it gets cut short), and another from Susan in Wisconsin (apparently a big fan of James, aka Ray), which al

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC's Heroes Reborn – Chapter 11 - Send in the Clones Congratulations to James and Laura for their engagement during the hiatus!  To celebrate they watched 144 hours of a YouTube D&D channel. None of us seemed to miss Heroes during the Hiatus, but we did all enjoy this episode.  Except James was upset he lost one of his favorite characters, Harris Prime.  It was a very cool death battle scene. Erica's "I'm Crushing Your Head" scene didn't play to well, which leads is off into a Kids in the Hall tangent. Jeff continues to knit-pick things...i.e. Grunny's over acting, and Zach's shave job.   Does Matt have a chance to redeem himself, or is he too far gone? As pretty as Carlos was, he and Farrah seemed a tad awkward.  We really liked the backstory for him, but why did they wait so long to tell it? We also think that Jose seemed to be up to something.  (Emily, too, for that matter) Phoebe has completely gone off the rails! But she's definitely

This week, Miranda and Jeff interview Toru Uchikado.  Toru, of course, plays online gamer, Ren Shimosawa.

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff ask Hiro to send us back to November 23, 2009 so we can discuss NBC's Heroes – Season 4, Chapter 10, Thanksgiving. We're looking for some voicemail feedback on how you feel about Heroes Reborn. We haven't heard from some of you in a while and we're curious as to how you are liking, or not liking, the show. Call us: 346-202-HERO (4376). This was Jeff's choice for our Heroes Rewind discussion.  His reason? Laura said pick a weird one and this one certainly qualifies!   Plus, he loves Darth Maul! Less than 3 minutes in and we have our first tangent...must be some kind of a record.  All the talk about pie reminded Jeff about Pushing Daisies starring Lee Pace.   This episode had us all fairly confused. It was definitely NOT a standalone episode. This week we dug out the actual recap segment from our Original Heroescast Podcast as recorded by Kim. Samuel discovers his true potential in terms of his ability.  Because we don't remember, we hypothesize that he must hav

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff ask Hiro to send us back to December, 2008 so we can discuss NBC's Heroes – Season 3, Chapter 12, Our Father. We're looking for some voicemail feedback on how you feel about Heroes Reborn. We haven't heard from some of you in a while and we're curious as to how you are liking, or not liking, the show. Call us: 346-202-HERO (4376). This was Laura's choice for our Heroes Rewind discussion.  Her reason? Sylar covered in blood, of course.  James now understands why Laura has been such a huge Sylar fan :) Mini Hiro makes Miranda happy,  and the scene when adult Hiro sees his mom before she dies was a very emotionally touching moment for us.       James was really drawn into the show by watching this episode. We all seem to feel that the writing from the original series, and this particular episode especially, is why we liked the series so much, and may be why we're a bit disappointed in the new series. James' thoughts on his first Peter exposure; He was a bit un

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff ask Hiro to send us back to February, 2006 so we can discuss NBC's Heroes – Season 1, Chapter 17, The Company Man. This was an interesting episode as it was more centered on a few of the "Heroes" instead of all of them. In fact, was the first episode that Masi Oka isn't in, although his character is. Ted Sprague is NOT Eric Christian Olson or the Neanderthal Man from the old insurance commercials.      We all seem to agree that watching the original run episodes has made us want to watch them all again.  They seem to do what the new series hasn't yet, which is make us WANT to watch the next episode. The Doctor Who Connection:  Christopher Eccleston and Eric Roberts have both been in some type of Doctor Who incarnation.   Christopher Eccelston was the 9th Doctor for the 2005 reboot, and Eric Roberts was in the 1996 "movie". James liked "The Little Haitian" and we were surprised by how many times the Half Helix kept showing up.   Jeff is alone (as usual) in

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC's Heroes Reborn – Chapter 10 - 11:53 to Odessa. So right off the bat, Laura is not happy with the so called "hiatus" episode. But Miranda doesn't care since she got her some Ren and Miko, and Jeff continues to try and throw logic into the mix! James is a Hiatus NEWB and feels that if he were just a casual fan, he'd probably not be back to see how it all ends. Matt Parkman brings new meaning to the phrase "giving you the stink eye" Janice and Matty Jr. are out there somewhere, but are they part of anyone's plan? Whatever Erica's plan is, we all agree that no one should trust her? Is Phoebe dying by using her power all the time?  If so, what effect will this have on Quentin? With Erica trapped in the future, who's in charge? - Harris Army (Harrisses, Harri???) The Scientist? Apparently Harris is a good tipper, and it shows:  And we see more easter egg nods to the original series, plus a funny Brit.  Micah is back...well, sort of.  And still n

This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC's Heroes Reborn – Chapter 9 - Sundae, Bloody Sundae.       We welcome Laura back, safe and almost sound, from her trip to Europe. She left Paris just 24 hours before the tragedy occurred.  Our thoughts go out to all those affected. Joanne's day at Moe's didn't include a Duff's Ice Cream Sundae, but maybe it should have because she is obviously CRAY CRAY. Caspar (the Friendly Pennyman) Abraham meets his maker and Tommy meets his sister, sort of; oh and by the way, Tommy's girlfriend is too "vanilla". Matt Parkman, the Mayor of Happytown USA, err... the director of Sunstone Manor, has become quite a JERK. He let's you pick your poison, in Carlos' case, "mind bullets", but Miranda's not giving up hope on her hero cop. Katana Girl is alive, but it's 7957 years in the future. And in case you're wondering as we were, 7+9+5+7 is the perfect number 28 (we get quick math lesson from James) and 7957 + 2015 = 9972 which is years 8000 years after the

This week, Miranda, Jeff, James and special guest host Joe discuss Heroes Reborn – Episode 8 - June 13th, Part Two   Welcome Back Joe - a founding cast member! (See the awesome timeline he made for Jeff below) HRG stepping on butterflies, or just one really big butterfly?? Shoot first, apologize (sort of) later. Joe and James question the believabilitly of the time travel in the show... James' time travel movie recommendation - Looper Notice the clock on the wall with the two HRGs! Plot devices vs Storytelling - Wonder Twins Activate Quentin is a bad guy now... results of the butterfly effect! Camera focus during news conference - on the background on purpose? Jim Carrey on In Living Color Quentin's motive - Does he have a chance for redemption or is he really a bad guy? Katana Girl's backstory is complete! Her "father" is her creator. Who's hotter - Kelly Lebrock as Lisa or Kiki Sukezane as Miko/Katana Girl Time travel "rules" - which version of time travel do you buy? That violence es

  This week, Miranda, Jeff, Laura and James discuss Heroes Reborn – Episode 7 - June 13th, Part One   Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey episode - and we loved it. Angela Petrelli's vision! Mic, the ice man Super Dennis' problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_urticaria Is Miko gone for good? Jeff is surprised about her father's involvement with Hiro's capture (we set him straight) Glen Campbell's last song:  (beware, this may cause tears) With Hiro involved anything is now possible The flying man return-ith! CGI nose tubes? Voicemail break from Encaf - Mark 88 Hill Valley... A Back to the Future reference...How did we miss that? Theorizes that Tommy is going to move the earth and Malina will handle the weather aftermath - and likes the theory of Luke sucking in the Solar Flare Phoebe is the new Sylar? Easter Egg - 9th Wonders eclipse in the babies' nursery Claire's babies and the Star Wars connections Blogs are stealing our references! http://observer.com/2015/10/heroes-reborn-1x6-recap

This week, Miranda, Jeff, Laura and James discuss Heroes Reborn – Episode 6 – Game Over Luke becomes a boat owner...not a sailor...just an owner! Another article on iO9 sent in by Rick asking if the writers are lazy. (Article has course language) Awkward moment? Boy meets girl, boy buys candy for girl, boy attempts suicide while girl watches. Facebook Q&A with Jo's actress (Judi Shekoni) - Laura asks her if we get to understand more of Jo's character progression, as to why she's gone so far into serial killer territory? Tommy's just an angst-ridden teenager looking to take out his frustrations on the people of France, especially bicyclists and cops. BREAK for Some Voicemail Feedback from Joe, Gerry, and Vanessa The old episodes of The 9th will be soon available soon by clicking on The 9th Tab at the top of this page.  You and Hiro can transport yourself back in time, but please don't step on any butterflies. Katana Girl pwns Boss level in the game just like Legend of Zelda Wand of Gamelon. Leeroy Jen

Miranda, Jeff, Laura and James the newb are back to discuss Heroes Reborn – Episode 5 – Into the Lion's Den First thoughts - We like it, why is everyone complaining about this ep? Link from Rick - Is Heroes Reborn Falling into the same exact Trap that Heroes did? Is Farah the worst protector ever? Malina is now all alone... So what is in the Bloody Envelope and Where/Who is the Baby they are looking for? The Shadow... Seems like Laura was right! Power neutralizer... bam! (She's so smart!) Luke is looking for atonement by... Burning down the house! Also anyone else notice how covered up his kid was in all the photos? Why? James is reminded of this movie, "Knowing," by the solar flare disaster that was revealed as the main plot point at the end of the episode.... FYI - Miranda is always wrong... aka the spoiler of the return of former cast members!   ---BREAK--- VM from Robert Carpenter -> Started watching because of the Signal -> Was surprised by Heroes because it wasn't a typical superhero show

Jeff, Laura and James the newb are back to discuss Heroes Reborn - Episode 4 - The Needs of the Many. Jeff is always right... never wrong. #sarcasm -> Kings (Butterfly Crown)  Katana Girl - Holy crap, Jeff and Laura like her now. What's happening? Rules be damned, VM from Mark randomly in the middle of the show. Mark asks if Heroes Reborn is trying to pack too much into the first episodes and is losing the characters. Also... Did HRG kill Claire?! Why else would he forget the past? -> Lions 2008 Season / Chargers Superbowl appearance brought up Superhuman Warehouse - Everything must go! Prices slashed! Everyone just walk on in! -> Coma             -> The Island Quentin and the SHADOW! -> The Shadow Voicemail from Reg? Comments from Robert Carpenter Tweets from @nuchtchas and @SoFire Discussion Continues: Tommy a.k.a. Satellite ears hospital escapades. Is Carlos's power similar to Sylar's? #vengamobile Vengasuit!    What do you think about it? Go to Facebook and let us know! Zach

What's Up with the Butterfly?
