I watched the first four eps of Heroes: - the two main women heroes being a stripper and a cheerleader is annoying, although I like them and find them more interesting than the men. Gah, the men are also annoying. That said, it is quite enjoyable plotwise and I hope it will grow on me, but dear god it's seriously lacking in humour-- well, okay, Hiro is funny, but more in a laugh at him rather than laugh with him way. I loved the moment at the end of episode four when he came back from the future, and there is the hint of future tragedy and badness. Though probably not any jokes.

I'm frankly just enjoying the...enjoyable-ness (is that a word?) of the whole thing. And the fact that it's not all about who is sexing up who, you know? I mean, sexing is all well and good, but sometimes other things happen.

How specifically do you find the male chars annoying? *curious* I don't find any of them particularly grating..although it is extremely weird that all the people with powers are from the US except Hiro. I mean, if it was ALL Americans, that would still be self-centered but at least I could say, "Well, maybe since this is a crusade to save NYC maybe the enemy is inside the US government or something and at any rate only American heroes are going to become involved." But then they throw in Hiro as an attempt at multiculturalism, and I go, "Bzuh?"

Finally, I hate to bring us back to this whole issue, but I must know- Am I alone in thinking Suresh's accent is like aural sex?
