Jack Coleman has aged a bit and I didn't even recognize him as being Noah at first. DOH. But I'm with you, I have no idea who anyone else is either.

We watched religiously because for the first season or so, it was really good and interesting. After that it... flopped.

Hahaha... it was more than one scene, that was Sylar's 'power' - stealing others' powers.

Right. When they did the Star Trek reboot, they brought all the back story into that first movie, so you knew what you needed to know. Although... even I knew about the Kobayashi Maru before I watched the movie. LOL

I do suggest you watch at least season one, if for no other reason than because it was good. Hiro and Ando will forever be my favorites. :D
