Anyone else geeked out on Heroes?

Honestly, I didn't really love it until maybe the 5th or sixth episodes.  I stuck with it as I'm an uber-nerd (example: I'll most likely be seeing the FAntastic Four sequel even though the first one blew...why?  the Silver Surfer), and it definitely paid off as the story revealed itself.  Of course, there are still storylines, even this late in the game, that I hate.  But the rest of the show is just awesome...in my nerdy opinion.

worst set of characters by far, i guess her kid was necessary, but the rest was awful

Love the series, too. I agree that it started shakey but has gotten stronger with each episode. And now it's really addictive. I like a series that keeps me guessing! I also like programming that thinks beyond the TV, so I completely geek out on the phone calls from Nathan Petrelli (got one, too), text messages about voting scams, and hidden codes on web sites. I'm a little worried about who they are going to kill off. Somehow I suspect it won't be who I want to die (Jessica!) and will be someone I like (not Nathan or Ando please!).
 
 Oh and I also abandoned 24 at the start of the Audrey storyline. There are enough good shows coming in the Fall (Bionic Woman, Pushing Daisies, IT Crowd), so I feel okay about dropping it.

Maybe they'll reveal more later, but as far as I'm concerned, that's called having a split personality, not being a superhero.  That whole storyline is so bad I've actually grown to love the absurdity of it.
 
 Speaking of 24, I burned through the 4 episodes I have on tape last night.  I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but they definitely picked it back up a bit.  It got me a little hooked for the finale next week, since they pretty much always end on a good note.
