I watched this show when it premiered on Monday night and came away from it puzzled as to how they obtained their supernatural abilities and where the plot was going to go. I’d seen the preview of the cheerleader surviving a nasty fall and got the general gist of what this new show was going to be about. My interest was lukewarm, so I didn’t give it much thought or attention until the premiere, which I watched on a whim. Here’s a short summary from Kendra on WordPress:

Heroes will chronicle the lives of these people and the lives of others like them – whose destiny just might be saving humankind and themselves as they come together to evade the series’ antagonist who wants to capture them so they can be studied and experiemented on in order harness their super-DNA for himself.

The premiere episode involved introducing the main characters and their backstories, which intrigued me enough to want to watch next Monday’s episode. I’d like to see how the writers of Heroes connect all of the subplots they have going on right now.
