UK viewers: if you haven't been watching Heroes on SciFi or hadn't been planning on watching it when it arrived on BBC2, reconsider now. Cos I promise you you'll be giggling like 12-years-old thanks to the sheer unadulterated coolness of the show by the end of the series (or at least by last night's episode, which was episode 20, BTW).
Also, I know CSI: Miami is a load of old rubbish, but I draw the line at this kind of inane cobblers coming out the mouth of a forensic scientist: “when gasoline burns, it produces carbon dioxide and there was no trace of carbon dioxide on your clothes”; and “that fire wasn't going to start until you introduced oxygen into the mix.”
Seriously, there's fudging science for entertainment purposes and then there's the level of giving David Caruso one of Professor Zarkov's rays to zap criminals with. CSI: Miami has now gone too far.

When is it on BBC2?

When SciFi has finished with it. Think SciFi's about eight or 10 episodes in, so that means another 14 weeks or so, I think.

I only started watching Heroes due to Chris Eccleston's participation in it. It didn't take very long for me to get hooked on it, the writing is so good and the performances and production values are top-notch. It looks and feels more like a film (doled out in 43 minute bites) than many other television programs out there.
I definitely agree that Episode 20 is certainly one for the geek fanboys and girls out there. Heh. The show wears its influences on its sleeve.

And THIS was when you decided it had gone too far???!!!!
BTW you do know I am chomping at the bit now to have Heroes on BBC2. But what to do when I go to NZ?! I'll have probably 3 weeks to try and tape! Argh!

I've been watching Heroes since around episode six and I LOVE IT. It's so much better than Lost. Episode 20 is the best yet and I can't wait for it to hit DVD. I really want someone to release the soundtrack too.

If DigitalSpy is to be believed, Heroes is starting on BBC2 in September, which would make sense since Sci-Fi's episode ("Chapter," sorry) on Monday was the 12th one, and there's 23 in this season, so presumably they should premiere the season one finale on July 16th (following which they'll probably run through the entire season one last time before letting the Beeb have it).
I wouldn't mind a soundtrack album either, especially since it isn't likely to be loaded with songs.
