Heroes: Great Powers, Great Show

"With great powers comes great responsibility." - Stan Lee, Spider-Man

HEROES (Mon 9/8c, NBC) is/are finally among us. I've been looking forward to this show more than any other new show this fall - and for the most part, it delivered.

The pilot episode may have moved a bit too quickly, but overall it was very satisfying. I particularly liked the way the characters are intertwined without realizing it. The script was intelligent, and handled a lot of exposition with ease.

We haven't met all our heroes yet - there are plenty more to come as the series unfolds. I'm looking forward to seeing how the characters choose their paths, good or evil, or somewhere in between.

From 'Super' Hiro to the surprise twist ending, this little show charmed its way right into a Season Pass on the family TiVo.

Talk about great responsibility....
