SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! I loved how Obama-mask has that power. I was like 'o.o Woah. AWESOME.' Plus, Mr. Powell was VERY skilled to stop all of those bullets while he was poofing everywhere. And I dont remember Mrs. Powell's boss God, this reminds me of City of Heroes... Just slightly. And that's a GOOD thing, trust me. XD

OK, first off, here's a handy cheat sheet of all the character's names until we learn them. I'm still learning too, so this will be helpful: Michael Chiklis as Jim Powell – a police artist who is super-strong, nearly invulnerable, and can leap over tall buildings. Julie Benz as Dr. Stephanie Powell – a scientist who works at Global Tech with super speed, has a mile time of 6 seconds. Kay Panabaker as Daphne Powell – a teenager with telepathy. Jimmy Bennett as JJ Powell – a teenager with vast intelligence. Romany Malco as George St. Cloud – an Assistant District Attorney in Pacific Bay and long time friend of Jim who knows of his superpowers. Christina Chang as Det. Yvonne Cho – a cop who works at the same precinct as Jim. Autumn Reeser as Katie Andrews – a lab tech and comic book fangirl who knows of Stephanie's superpower. Stephen Collins as Dr. Dayton King – Stephanie's boss at Global Tech. Josh Stewart as Watcher- Secretly works for King, possesses potent telekinetic powers. And now, episode 2 discussion: JJ's math teacher is a total jerk. I just had to say that. He made me so mad that I wanted to report him to the school district, lol. Jim training to stop cars was one of the funniest parts tonight, George just kept running him over. Also, Det. Cho's final scene in the show was awesome but horrifying, who knows what the heck King is up to, but this Watcher person that's working for him doesn't mess around.

So is the show like Heroes? I assume that's what it like from the commercials I've seen.

It's sort of like 'Heroes" meets 'The Incredibles,' but definitely much more entertaining than Heroes.
By the way Scruffy, did you catch that "don't text and run" service announcement in the middle of the episode? lol, mommy took a little trip.

Lol, yeah. XD I got that. Was funny, though. Cause I wrote an essay for Speech class in college a while back about the dangers of texting and driving. And the moment I saw her pull out her phone, I said to my mom, "She's gonna trip." Then BOOM. Road burn at 600 miles per hour.

Man... When the heck is the family gonna team up and become a superhero group? I'm waiting for that! XD And my mom's getting impatient. Lol. She thinks they should've done it in the last episode.

^Jim and Steph teamed up against Flamethrower this week. It was so funny, Steph was all hyped up on adrenaline rush, lol. Oh, and Katie better watch out for Watcher, he's going to start getting desperate to make trouble for the Powells, especially now that Dr. King is threatening to strip him of his powers. I feel sorry for Katie. The kids I haven't felt too sorry for lately, they've been doing stupid stuff in every episode and getting caught. NAUGHTY CHILDREN! Except for JJ saving his teacher's life, that was pretty intense, but totally a noble thing to do, especially considering how much of a jerk that guy is.

YES. I loved it when they teamed up! It was so awesome! XD Now... When are the spandex and capes gonna show up? I bet you 25 cents that Watcher's gonna end up being 'the supervillian' in this show. He loves his powers too much. I betcha he's gonna take care of Dr. King, and take the serum for himself. And I love what the children've been up to lately. XD I really do. Adds so much humor. JJ is amazing. He's definately my favorite character in the show. I'd love to have that superbrain of his. Lol.

Watcher as the villain? I know he's going to be a MAJOR obstacle for the Powells when he's inevitably unmasked, but the main villain I don't know. I could definately see him turning on King due to his apparent addiction to super powers, but I don't know about him taking King down. We haven't seen a whole lot of his dealings yet, but I'm betting he's a man that's prepared for numerous situations. I mean when you're daily dealing with psycho killers you've got to be smart enough to take some insurance for youself, lol. And yeah, the kids are hilarious, but when they start getting into their little schemes I want to throw something at the TV and yell "come on, you know there's no way you're getting away with that!"
