[edit] ERRORS

There is an error in the next episode date of 2/26/07, its listed as 2/25/07. I cannot change it for some reason

Not an error at all, airs tonight in Canada, see citation given next to date. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

But is this true for everyone? Unless it airs everywhere on the 25th, it probably should be changed to the 26th. PureSoldier 23:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Why would it be changed to 2th because "it doesn't air everywhere", you do realise "it doesn't air everywhere" on the 26th? The field is for original airdates, not "Original American airdates", we go by what's verifiable. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

No need to get hostile. However, if it's airing on both dates, it should be stated as so, and where. I'm looking for a source to verify it for the next day as well. PureSoldier 23:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Then put a note on the episode page. You ain't seriously suggesting however we list every worldwide air date for episodes though, here? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I am seriously suggesting that if we are to state the air date, then we should be correct about it. Showing Canada's air date is not correct for the United States, and showing the United State's air date is not correct for Canada. So, what would be the best way to be the most correct? Show both dates. PureSoldier 00:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Canada's airdate is correct, the cell states (like every other LOE), "Original airdate", Canada *is* the original, regardless. A note on the episode page would probably be appropriate. Remember that Wikipedia doesn't conform to one nations views, it represents a worldwide view, as such the original (ala première airdate) is correct. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha. I misread the original air date as only air date.PureSoldier 02:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The date for epidsode 17 (Company man) appears to only have been viewable on the 25th in eastern canada. Am i correct?

Global Television Network aired the episode a day early to make room for a new show. I believe they have affiliates as far west as Winnipeg, though someone more in tune (ha!) with Canadian television should feel free to correct me. →Bobby← 14:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

According to their web site, Global has affiliates from Halifax to Vancouver Island. They don't necessarily have the same air time in every market. Avt tor 07:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I live in Vancouver, BC and it aired here on the 25th on Global. Gary Steinke

I agree with the statements above that this is not a US centric site, but a world site. However, a date is specific to a time zone. You can't just put a date down without putting a time zone or time. Is there a standard that Wikipedia uses for dates? Perhaps UTC Time (the new way of saying Greenwich Mean Time)?

[edit] Protection

I have gotten this article semi-protected, hopefully this will prevent (at least most) people from changing the air dates. --WillMak050389 22:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary length redux

"Distractions", "Run!", "Unexpected", and "Company Man" (and even "Six Months Ago") all have excessively long plot summaries. I agree that it is importinat to ,mention all of the significant occurrences in a given episode, but Wikipedia is not the place for scene-by-scene verbatim reproduction of every episode. Pages such as "Godsend" and "The Fix" are examples of reasonable-length articles. We should work together to ensure that we don't go overboard in our episode summaries. - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 18:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] episodes number

i think that season 1 has 23 episodes planned for so should we post blank entrys to show that?

Where did you here that? I haven't seen anything saying there would be 23 episodes, and besides, most tv shows only have 20 episodes. Arwen undomiel 17:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Entries should only be placed once there is verifiable information, i.e. TBA cells are unneeded. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

actually, the first season will have 22. it was announced when they said they would pick heroes up for a full season... -Xornok 17:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Further to the above, shows tend to have 22-24 shows per season. Sci-Fi has done a number of 20-episode seasons, for Stargate and BSG, but the major nets usually go a bit longer. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

In an interview from Wizard Universe (TV Q&A: HEROES—TIM KRING), Tim Kring states Volume I (which spans all of season 1) will have 23 episodes. Jeff Loeb adds in another Wizard Universe interview (TV Q&A: HEROES—JEPH LOEB) that NBC wanted more episodes but there wasn't enough time to produce more than 23. - fmmarianicolon | Talk 20:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct. There will be a total of twenty-three episodes this season. Thus it makes sense to post TBA entries for the final five of the season. I know how much trouble it was for me to find out when the season finale was. Having the info on Wikipedia makes it a lot easier. -alongwaltz 16:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 119 Air date

The list has the Air date for 119 as April 23 but the two referencing pages both list episode 119 as airing next week, I'm wondering if anyone has a reference for the delayed air date? It doesn't seem very appropriate to show that kind of break in the schedule without any reference. -Tomaszkolo 03:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't any sorce for the airdates of episodes 19 - 23. I recommend stating "no airdate released" until one of the official websites states otherwise.-L_001_002 03:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is. It is April 23. [1] Arwen undomiel 03:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 20

There is some information avalible about episode 20. We know that it takes place at least partially in the future (5 years hence) and that most of the heroes will be dead in this possible future. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.189.155.40 (talk) 04:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

..... -Xornok 05:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't want to believe it, but he's right. At least about the future bit. Jack Coleman^[1] and Greg Grunberg^[2] have both said it. The Coleman bit is second-hand(from a radio interview), but Greg's statement is word for word. Huh. Five years later. Weird. Valaqil 20:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

in perspective it's not really the weirdest or least plausible thing on the show. it's likely the future hiro is now visiting.130.126.130.178 16:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I will take your word(s) for it about episode 20, however if anyone can find the reference this information comes from can they citate it in the main article because after a quick search I couldn't find anything to back up your claims about episode 20. Valerieg 00:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

heres the page about it being in the future for episode 20 - http://spoilerfix.com/heroes.php

[edit] .07%

It is not just TV.com giving information about .07%, so would people please stop removing info on the episode? http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/photos/general/ and many other reliable sites have talked about .07% Arwen undomiel 19:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added references to official photos from NBC and the news report from CBR. - fmmarianicolon | Talk 20:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Series

when does the first season end and when it does well there be others? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.16.89.117 (talk) 03:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

The first season will end with the next episode, ".07%". A second season has already been announced by NBC. dposse 16:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

??? I'm presuming you meant after five more episodes... the next batch starts with .07%, followed by four more. --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct--the season finale isn't until May 21. Arwen undomiel 20:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New episode titles

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=40615

According to Sci-Fi Wire, see link above.

Episode 22: "Landslide" Episode 23: "How to stop an Exploding Man"

http://www.herosite.net/herositespoilers.htm

and from HeroSite.net

Episode 20: "String Theory Episode 21: "The Hard Part" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Heroesfan40 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Spoilerfix.com cannot be considered as a reliable source. I think we have to remove the entries. -- Magioladitis 00:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think we need to remove them. There are now several reliable sites naming the next four episodes, the sources cited in the article are just a few. Arwen undomiel 01:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I found a reference at heroestheseries.com which redirected to scifi.com. Scifi.com is a fairly reliable source, I would say. Valaqil 13:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Can someone make a general icon for the future episodes like the one in the List of Jericho episodes? -- Magioladitis 19:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Screen captures and fair use

Ed's trying it at List of The Wire episodes now (removing them), he's also trying to get the FUC reworded to effectively "ban" screen captures, Wikipedia_talk:Fair_use#Screenshots_2. Matthew 15:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
