This week saw the end of the first season of Heroes on UK TV. And it was frickin' ace! It's been a long time since the BBC has given a US show such a prominent slot and such a large amount of publicity. It even made the front page of the Radio Times. God only knows how long we're going to have to wait to see the second season over here. The BBC have the exclusive rights to show season 2, so people without satellite won't have to wait until it's been shown on the Sci-Fi channel this time. The trouble is what with the US writers strike, it's likely to be some time before the season finishes in the States, and British broadcasters prefer to show series in one go. However, as Heroes is split into 'volumes', (and volume 2 has finished stateside) hopefully the Beeb won't make us wait too long. There's been some negative press surrounding the direction of volume 2, but personally I'm looking forward to [SPOILER WARNING, HIGHLIGHT TEXT TO READ] Hiro's adventures in Samurai-era Japan. I can't wait!
