Set your calendars. Heroes Season 2 returns on September 24, 2007

Heroes is an American science fiction television drama series created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The series begins by telling the stories of apparently ordinary individuals from around the world who mysteriously develop superhuman abilities, and who then seek to use them to prevent the end of the world as foreseen in images produced by a precognitive painter.

"Heroes - Season One" DVD Review 

by Paul Gaita (Amazon.com)


Heroes - Season One

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 and personal.

Season One 

The series begins as a disparate group of people gradually become aware that they have special abilities. Events illustrate their reactions to these powers, and how the discovery affects their personal and professional lives. At the same time, several ordinary individuals are investigating the origins and extent of these abilities. Mohinder Suresh, a geneticist, continues his father's research into the biological source of the change, while Noah Bennet represents a secret organization known only as "The Company".
Genesis
Various people around the world discover evidence of real superpowers. Claire Bennet can instantly heal physical injuries to her own body. Isaac Mendez can precognitively paint future events (only through added means). Hiro Nakamura is able to manipulate time, travel through it, and teleport. Mohinder Suresh tries to continue his recently deceased father's work by finding these people.
Don't Look Back
Los Angeles cop Matt Parkman is introduced, with the ability to hear other people's thoughts. Mohinder meets his father's neighbor, Eden McCain. Niki Sanders finds some brutally murdered thugs in her garage and leaves town with her son, Micah. Nathan denies flying, despite Peter knowing he did. Hiro travels five weeks in the future from Tokyo, Japan to New York City in a second.
One Giant Leap
Hiro seeks the help of his friend Ando Masahashi. Matt is questioned by FBI agent Audrey Hanson about suspected serial killer Sylar, who Mohinder learns had a connection with his father. Matt and Audrey confront Sylar but he gets away. Claire is nearly raped and suffers a fatal head injury, but awakes to find herself undergoing an autopsy. Matt later falls unconscious in a bar after seeing the Haitian.
Collision
Matt is kidnapped by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian. Claire escapes from the autopsy table and seeks revenge on Brody. Hiro and Ando gamble in Las Vegas and later get trapped by four men they gambled with. In the same casino Niki meets Nathan. Peter finds and tries to convince Mohinder of Peter and Isaac's powers, and later meets Hiro from the future.
Hiros
Mohinder gives up searching for superhumans and makes plans to return to India to lay both his father's remains and his research to rest. Matt uses his abilities to impress his wife. D.L. Hawkins appears, and is wanted by police. Peter receives a life-changing message from Future Hiro.
Better Halves
Hiro questions his own heroism. Mr. Bennet sets up a meeting for his daughter Claire with her biological parents. Isaac receives calls in Japanese from Hiro and doesn't understand them, but Peter is there this time to pick up the phone and tell Hiro what Future Hiro said. D.L. arrives at his wife, Niki Sanders', home. Mohinder bids farewell to Eden as he heads back to India to bury his father.
Nothing to Hide
Matt assists Audrey's investigation into another odd murder, but their pursuit of mysterious serial killer Sylar takes an unexpected turn. Nathan and his wife, Heidi, strategize how to win the congressional election. Determined to see one of Isaac's paintings that Simone sold, Peter asks Nathan for help. Micah's power is revealed.
Seven Minutes to Midnight
A mysterious boy visits Mohinder in his dreams, which makes him reconsider giving up his father's search. Hiro and Ando stop at a diner and meet Charlie Andrews.
Homecoming

Nathan and Simone work together to find Isaac's painting for Peter. Claire reveals her power to Mr. Bennet.
Six Months Ago

Fallout
Isaac seeks to paint the future without using drugs. Matt and Audrey investigate the Homecoming disaster. Niki makes a move to protect her family from Jessica. Peter fears he is responsible for the explosion of New York City.
Godsend
While in a coma, Peter has another vision. Hiro begins his quest for his sword and Claire begins to rebuild her life.
The Fix
Peter continues to follow the invisible man while his brother, Nathan, seeks help from Mohinder. Matt's wife comes to terms with Matt's thought-hearing power. Hiro and Ando kidnapped by men working for his father. Claire searches for her biological parents. Micah Sanders uses his powers to take large amounts of money from an automated teller machine. It is believed that Sylar's storyline takes another unusual turn.
Distractions

Unexpected

Parasite

.07%
After "helping" Suresh search for more people with special abilities, Sylar's rampage continues with two "heroes" being confronted by the stronger-powered serial killer. Nathan must factor what he's learned from Linderman into difficult decisions that will shape the future--for him, his family, New York City and the world. As Thompson uses every tool at his disposal to find Claire, Linderman drafts Jessica into his far-reaching plans. Meanwhile, Hiro's resolve to "save the world" strengthens in the face of a grim reality.
Five Years Gone
Hiro and Ando find themselves five years after the destruction of New York City. People with abilities are labeled as terrorists and are being registered, hunted, and killed.

The Hard Part
