by
- 7:53 AM
- 7:55 AM I’ll be liveblogging the much anticipated season 3 premiere of Heroes tonight at 8pm ET/7 pm Central. Please join me!
- 7:50 PM Hello? Anyone here yet?
- 7:51 PM I am running a little late…have to feed my family and silly stuff like that…but I’ll be back shortly.
- 7:59 PM I’m here, and will be during all the countdown.|
- 8:04 PM Oh my goodness, I’ve been freaking out because I was having trouble logging in - but I’m here now!
- 8:08 PM Yay. I’m sorta here. I’m in the process of moving to the other room. Just shoved food down my face as fast as humanly possible.
- 8:08 PM Lol. You know, you don’t have to stop eating to write
- 8:09 PM I have trouble multi-tasking. Heh
- 8:09 PM Yeah, and your kids are old enough to feed themselves.
- 8:09 PM I left them sitting at the table. Bad mom
- 8:10 PM So glad you joined us Diego. Are you getting to watch in Mexico?
- 8:11 PM Hum…I’ll watch it in a not so legal way.But hey, when the episodes get here, I’ll watch them
- 8:11 PM I just think it’s unfair to wait until like…May next year
- 8:11 PM The Countdown is on YouTube already…I’ll be watching at the same pace as you.
| - 8:11 PM Yeah, it is unfair. Especially when everyone else is talking about it and spoiling it
- 8:12 PM yeah. Once the Countdown is done, I’ll continue with my homework ’till the episodes appear online.
- 8:12 PM So…how was getting to talk with Ken Lally?
- 8:13 PM He was really great. Super nice guy, easy to chat with.
- 8:13 PM I just got the audio file finished but I’m having trouble with the sound on it. I was really hoping to have it posted by now but the day has been busy.
- 8:14 PM Yeah. Don’t worry, we’ll forget about it once the episodes start xD. Btw, I’m also recording How I Met your Mother. Do you watch that show?
- 8:15 PM Yes. HUGE fan of that show. I am trying to get a blog started with 451 press for that show. Hopefully soon!
- 8:15 PM I am recording it and Big Bang Theory. Do you watch that?
- 8:16 PM I’ll also keep an eye on that. Although I saw the first 3 minutes of the show, and already know Stella’s answer. I do have tried to get into Big Bang Theory, and I’ve watched the first 9 episodes…but it hasn’t hooked me yet. I’ll give it another try later.
- 8:17 PM I think I love it because I know some guys just like them.
- 8:19 PM I am actually kind of them. I’m a geek, but meh. Hum…a friend is bragging he’s got sattelite TV with NBC, and will watch it live. ¬¬
- 8:19 PM OK, this liveblogging thing is an experiment for me. I just noticed that when it crossposts to the blog, it doesn’t show who said what. It just looks like I’m talking to myself.
- 8:20 PM Hahaha
- 8:20 PM I actually don’t see it updating. You know, you could do live audio blogging…is what the folks at 10 Wonders podcast will be doing.
- 8:22 PM Huh, now I saw my comment in there. Perhaps everyone can see just theirs? It’s weird…
- 8:24 PM Oh dear - waking up at 4:30 this morning was a VERY bad idea
- 8:24 PM Who wants to be responsible for keeping me awake until 11? :p
- 8:24 PM If I audio blog though, then my Texas accent, whiney voice is heard. LOL
- 8:25 PM It’s still better than a Mexican accent
- 8:25 PM OK, AnnieB, I’m sending you a virtual slap to keep you awake
- 8:26 PM Haha, thanks Debbie
- 8:26 PM OK thanks..
- 8:31 PM So…why is everyone so quiet?
- 8:32 PM I was trying to fix crossposting
- 8:32 PM Oh, okay
- 8:32 PM Sorry - I was just having a minor stroke over Noah and Sandra bringing Meredith to try to keep Claire safe
- 8:32 PM How do I get an icon by my posts?
- 8:32 PM Right I wonder why Sandra thought that…agg!!! All this clips are just from the first two episodes, right?
- 8:33 PM I’m behind on the special. Watching a little delayed on DVR. Should catch up soon
- 8:33 PM I hope so!
- 8:33 PM AnnieB you should see an Upload Image thing at the bottom
- 8:33 PM At thhe top right, there’s a link where it syas “profile”. There you add it
- 8:33 PM Yes it’s a wordpress blog
- 8:34 PM Thanks!
- 8:34 PM Nice one!
- 8:35 PM Thanks, it’s from TV Guide
- 8:35 PM I finally got my People mag tonight
- 8:35 PM Oh good!
- 8:35 PM Debbie (can I call you like that?), how long have you kept WatchingHeroes? I only discovered it recently…
- 8:36 PM Sure you can call me Debbie.
- 8:36 PM I’ve been writing for about a year on the site. Just btefore last year’s premiere
- 8:37 PM So…about the time were a new Season 2 episode was expected with excitment…
- 8:37 PM Yes. LOL
- 8:38 PM I took it over from another writer. I think it’s been around for right at 2 years. Started just after the show
- 8:40 PM Cool. Heroes is the very kind of show that deserves online following.
- 8:40 PM I agree. It’s really the first show that is perfect for multi-platform I think.
- 8:41 PM Yeah. Although Lost also kind of is. Without Lost, serial dramas like Heroes, that stand on hype, wouldn’t exist.
- 8:42 PM That is true. Lost paved the way.
- 8:42 PM Another of my favorite shows
- 8:43 PM Indeed. Although for now, Heroes takes the spotlight. I don’t know how I’ll hold my geekdom when Heroes and Lost are airing the same week (something I’ve never experienced :P)
- 8:45 PM Ack. Again? I can see all the posts.
- 8:46 PM I’ll try to figure out what’s going on
- 8:46 PM OK. Thanks!
- 8:48 PM AnnieB - you still awake
- 8:48 PM Yup - I’m here
- 8:48 PM
- 8:48 PM Thanks for checking, lol
- 8:48 PM Just checking
- 8:50 PM Gonna grab some cookies… I actually bought some popcorn for when watching the episode
- 8:50 PM Just to the part about my BFF Greg Grunberg in the special. I’m still about 10 mins behind I think.
- 8:51 PM You better catch up before the episode starts!
- 8:52 PM I will! Commercials usually give enough time.
- 8:52 PM I will stop the special if I have to and watch it later.
- 8:52 PM I quite like the special. It didn’t felt, you know, forced, or a clip episode. I actually laughed out loud several times of something the narrator said, or something he said, and then the next clip was in the joke too.
- 8:53 PM I agree - they did a really good job with it.
- 8:53 PM By the way - if you’re seeing this at WatchingHeroes and want to join the chat, click on the ScribbleLive logo!
- 8:53 PM Yes it is very well done. Love the cast participation. Much better than usual recap specials
- 8:54 PM Yeah. The 3D titles look great, kinda like Fringe’s.
- 8:54 PM Lemme know when the true episode starts, so I’ll leave. Sorry, but I don’t want to be spoiled
- 8:54 PM That’s the best part of Fringe…the titles. LOL
- 8:55 PM Yeah. Watche dthe first episode, haven’t got around to watching the second one. But now with Heroes, How I met Your Mother, Prison Break, and Chuck, my tuesdays will be pretty busy to notice Fringe xD
- 8:56 PM Sylar!…I’m still behind I know
- 8:57 PM When Maya Ramírez showed up I was split in half. She seems a very nice person, but her characters sucks. At least until now.
- 8:58 PM I am hoping Maya will either become interesting or die very soon. Is that bad? LOL
- 8:58 PM Nope, I feel the same way.
- 8:58 PM
- 8:59 PM Yeah, we do. I feel she is gonna die after she “serves her purpose with Mohinder” (Don’t wanna spoil anyone)
- 8:59 PM And I meant the scientific part, not the other that might be interpretated… xD
- 8:59 PM That’s one way to put it…
- 8:59 PM Well you see where my mind is…
- 8:59 PM LOL
- 9:00 PM The new episode just started.
- 9:00 PM Hahah. Lol indeed.

Great episodes! I really liked the new villains. They were evil just for the fun of it. Although I wonder were are the others who escaped (not Knox, the German, or Flint). And I wonder were Peter body is? FP moved his consciousness to another body, but where is it? And where is Jesse’s consciousness?
