Didn't the first one kind of fall on its face due to terrible writing?

Absolutely correct. Which is why this surprises me so much, that they are basically continuing the storyline. But maybe they wrote in enough time separation, that they can rehash things? Still, the first Heroes series started so freakin well, I loved that show. Then it just flopped and almost became unwatchable.

I REALLY hope this is good. I want to like it! But I'm surprised so many of the old characters are back. I hope thats a good thing and not a bad thing.

Yeah, funny they didn't call it "Heroes Reboot" instead.

Ya! I love the X men!

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Lilithia.

I agree, the original was well done then all of a sudden they went on hiatus, came back and started smoking that "problem of the week" hydroponic pot laced with "durrr, wut's continuity" crack.

I'd never seen the original show but watching that trailer, wow does that story seem done already... and done... and done.
