He thinks he can fly. But maybe he's just high.

Yay for more Milo. Come on, I can't be the only one who liked him on Gilmore Girls. Oh wait, this is TWoP.

Milo's not the only reason I'm going to be tuning in, but he is the main one. He definitely got the best power, or at least the one I'd most want to have (drawing the future? definitely last in line when they handed out the superpowers). I can't wait for the fall season to start and I'm really excited about reading Erin's recaps. Hopefully she'll be more fond of Peter Petrelli than Pamie was of Jess Mariano:)

I like him. He looks like Conor Oberst on the NBC group photo though.

I didn't recognise Milo this time either (I watched Stay Alive and didn't either), he is like a cameleon.

I'll echo that sentiment 100%.
Mmmm.Milo.
So glad to see him get a regular gig again; AND, bonus! This means I won't have to go to see "Rocky Balboa" when it comes out to get my Milo fix!

Oh, you should go see Rocky anyway. I have a feeling it will be good.

I am so excited for this show and mainly because Milo is in it. I also think this is great that this site has created a board before the show has even aired!

I'm so glad Milo is in this show - I'm excited to see how he'll play a different character from his usual. Either way, I still think he'll steal the show...

I hated him on Gilmore Girls. But part of that hate was because I hated hating him. Does that make sense? I want to like Milo, I think he deserves a better role than Jess... or at least the way they wrote Jess most of the time. So I'm glad to hear Milo's got a cool new role much the same way I'm glad CuteDean has his own cool show now. Take that, Rory Gilmore, your exes don't need you and are getting along just fine without you! One has psychic/TK powers and the other can fly, hahahaha! *cough*

So anyway, I was planning on watching this show before I found out he was in it but now I'm actually anticipating it with a level of excitement.

I'll be honest--Milo is the main reason I am tuning in. However, I hope to get into the show and be excited about all the characters and storylines once the show gets off the ground.

Peter seems pretty cool so far. Quiet, reserved. Non-rebelly. So not Jess, so not Chris Pierce (American Dreams), so not any other character he's played. Which shows the talent of Milo -- he never fails to blow me away in anything he does. Let's hope Peter continues to amaze!

Oh gawd, I'd forgotten that was him in that role! That character was so obnoxious. Then again, so was his little girlfriend Meg. Oh, who am I kidding? They were all obnoxious, but at least they're never coming back. Hooray!

Can I be the first to nickname Peter Petrelli "Milo High Club"?

Thank you; thank you. Be sure to try the veal.

Heheh. And now I want the Mulder Action Figure to get all excited about Rory Gilmore's catalyst effect on latent mutations. I really miss Jessica's Action Figures.

Alright, I admit it, I had no plans to watch this show...until I discovered Milo was in it. And now, well, it might be a 4400 rip-off, but at least is has Milo! Also- Greg Grunberg, who I love for no apparent reason.
Good casting :)

I'd never really seen a decent Heroes promo before tonight, but damn, I've always liked Milo who I didn't realize was in it. Even as Jess. I needed another show like I need the ability to fly, but this just got added to the Tivo. I hope Peter isn't a bad boy in any way, shape, or form, though.

Heheh. And now I want the Mulder Action Figure to get all excited about Rory Gilmore's catalyst effect on latent mutations.


Love it. She's actually pulled off a trifecta of sorts since the guy playing Logan played a vampire on an aired Dark Shadows pilot. GG casting should get Drew Fuller to play a love interest so that Rory could pull off some sort of supernatural quad-whatever.

Put me on the Peter love train (or Mile High Club?)! I suppose it's partly bias (I adored Jess in GG) but he's easily my fave alongside Hiro. And thinking about it more, these two are the most accepting and eager to use 'their' abilities. It's endearing how wide eyed and excited they both seem.

I liked this guy, too. Somehow I think he'll start grating on my nerves later - he's got a little bit of a "Jesus" complex going for him so far, but, he IS genuinely endearing thus far.

I wonder if the Petrellis have another kid, because Peter (Petrelli!) has middle child written all over him.

I like this guy too. He's cute and even though he's a little overly emo and a bit martyrish but he seems like a nice guy with a big heart.

Nice twist that it was his *brother* who can fly, I didn't expect that.

Judging by how close Peter and Nathan seem, I'd say that Nathan and Peter are probably one another's only sibling -- or, at the very least, I hope, because it wouldn't be very nice of Peter to leave his other sibling out of his and Nathan's supposed psychic bond. (Also, the fact that Peter mentions Nathan getting all the attention, and not Possible Sibling #3 as well, implies to me that there's only two of them.)

Although, man, poor Peter: after crabbing about how he's spent his entire life living for other people, his superpower (if he has one) turns out to be empathy (or, even worse, just detecting other people's powers).

I am so in the Milo High Club!

I really like Peter--he seems sweet and a nice change from the "bad boys". It's nice to not see moments of all the other boys in this character!

I really like his relationship with his brother--I hope we delve more into that as the season progresses.

I think that's what he's ultimately meant to do: assist and guide others (like Professor X).

Based on what little I know of his personality, I would think that he'd find some way to make this role as rewarding as a flying role, if not more.

I figured this would be a good place to ask this:
What's the difference between an emo and a woobie?

It's open to interpretation, but I'd say that a woobie is a sympathetic character that's damaged in someway and who is always getting hurt.

And that someone who is emo is someone who is consciously trying to project a woobie image... though I definitely seen the two terms used interchangably.

I would consider suburban angst a la Seth Cohen, emo and Dean Winchester of Supernaturnal a woobie.

I'm not a huge fan of even term, but woobie is tons of fun to say.

I'm now watching this show to see where this character goes... He could be like the Batman of the Justice League but not as dark and angry and just with the being a hero with no superpowers thing.

Never got into GG, so Milo is new to me. He was okay... maybe he'll grow on me a little more.

I think you're right and fits with his "human" character--always in the background supporting other people. Although I agree, Anxia, it kinda sucks for him.
