Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007
season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends
comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich
and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim
Kring's premise is deceptively simple ordinary individuals in
locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a
better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while
facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City,
for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden
Panetierre has family issues serious ones, as the true identity
of her adoptive her reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter
Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own
insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain Zachary
Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary
powers like our heroes and viewers have a riveting series that
exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the
action and special effects are truly impressive for a network
program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most
speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar
Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set
of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may
be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website,
especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of
the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot
episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the
network version; the main difference is the degree of character
development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that
isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50
deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of
featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt
work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are
used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers
should note that while all of these supplemental features are
included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special
Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita
