    Anyone watching this? I'm not sure what to make of it yet ...

    Me neither. I'm a little disappointed right now, but superhero stories are always a bit tired at the beginning ... it could certainly get better.

    But it being an NBC show, I'm not betting on it. I keep wanting to compare it to Heroes, which had a better beginning but tailed off into incredible crappiness.

    I watched 25 minutes and dubbed it The Crap.

    Didn't watch, but they put capes on statues all over the place near where I live to promote it. It was odd.

    Thirty-five minutes in, and our "hero" is wrestling a midget.

    WTF.

    I'm waiting for it to come on out here in the Rockies. I'm betting it's going to be gone after four episodes but I will always give a comic book/superhero shows a try.

    I gave it the full episode, but I wasn't impressed. At least they could have put Summer Glau in something more revealing.

    I didn't watch it because I had a feeling it would suck. My roommate watched it at his girlfriend's house last night and told me today that it sucks.
