Heroes Unmasked S01E01 HDTV XviD-PVR

is this a heroes special or is it a new show? details anyone?

these are a series of short 10-minute (i think) character pieces, featuring
interviews with the heroes cast. shown after each new episode on bbc2 in the uk

they are 10-15 minute features on the episode, how stuff was done, cast
interviews, seems like a nice little feature after each episode,

this is 8:13 (so 1/10 cd)
s01e02 is 15:50 (so 1/7 cd)

s01e01 aired last week. s01e02 just pre'd today.
this is about a 20 part series (i've heard)

series 1:
23 heroes regular episodes
23 heroes unmasked shorts (bbc2)[according to my digital cable tv epg]

is this the same as the "inside heroes" online series on nbc.com?

and on that note, whatever happened to that "origins" series they promised to
run over the summer after the end of season 1?

new york -- you want more "heroes"? nbc is going to give you more "heroes" next
season.

the network has hit upon a way to keep the show repeat for nearly the entire
season, ordering more episodes of the show and embarking on a quasi-spinoff
called "heroes: origins." combined, the shows will account for 30 original
episodes next season.

"we've got something i call the 'bulk-up challenge' for next year, which is
trying to stay more consistent in our scheduling for the audience," nbc chief
kevin reilly told reporters monday at a press conference announcing the
network's 2007-08 schedule. "we asked ['heroes' creator] tim kring to come up
with an idea, and what i love is not only did we bulk up with 30 hours next
season, but also a whole new idea which i think is going to take the show to the
next level."

the "origins" series will consist of six stand-alone episodes, with each one
introducing a new character and telling his or her back story. they'll take
place within the "heroes" universe but won't be tied into the main arc of the
series, although one or two regular characters may pop up.

it will also carry an interactive element: after all six "origins" episodes air,
viewers will be able to vote on which character joins the main show the
following season.

the idea for "origins" springs from positive fan reaction to several side
characters introduced this season -- reilly cites charlie (jayma mays), the
waitress with the perfect memory, as an example -- and a desire to avoid
momentum-draining breaks like the one the show took earlier this spring.

"i don't think the audience minds taking a week off, particularly during the
holidays," reilly says. "it's just the long hiatuses or weeks worth of repeats
where we get in trouble."

just how the "origins" episodes will be scheduled along with the main "heroes"
storyline has yet to be worked out. the most likely scenario, reilly says, will
be to have "heroes" start its second season in the fall and run more or less
straight through its 24 episodes, with perhaps a short break during the
holidays. "origins" would then follow at the end of the season. another option
would be to run "origins" "as a chunk" in the spring, before the concluding
episodes of "heroes."

"i'll tell you one thing you won't see is 'origins' peppered throughout," he
says. "i think that would be difficult for the audience to navigate."

heroes.unmasked.s01e01.hr.hdtv.xvid-pvr

i quote kyle and stan in south park the movie. "more! more!"

hd is not 960x528 (540p) resolution video. but still nice of course
might as well say that there is a 720p on private torrent trackers as well

thanks for the upload!

i am a big fan of heroes so it was interesting for me to see the interviews
with some of the cast and the production crew.

so if you are into behind the scenes, then watch it. this is not a preair of
any of the episodes of heroes or origins.

hey.... anyone knows the song that plays in the end of this ep.?!?!
please answer..
