I am – Hercules!!


Here’s a crazy thing! The first hour of “Heroes’” third season screened at Comic Con -- but nobody wrote in with a review that told us if it was any good or not!

Attendees did send in spoilers for the first hour, which can be found in invisotext elsewhere in this post.

Note that George Takei turns up in the first hour, William Katt and “The Wire’s” Andre Royo apprear in hour two, and Malcolm McDowell and Bruce Boxleitner are in both.

And it looks like we’ll be seeing a less of Micah and his cousin Monica this season.
