HERΟ
If you didn't sign up for the Insider's Interactive SMS deal (mentioned here and advertised during the show), then ya might've missed some of the scoop (or, not…).

So, here's what was sent for the first two eps (including the timestamps when I received 'em, and I've also included some of my responses/thoughts or some details of the show if it helps give the text messages come context):

9:01 pm:
Heroes: Get ready for fun facts, polls, and more as you watch the show! Starting… now!
9:01 pm:
Heroes: Claire loves Peter?! Which of these Heroes haven't been romantically involved?
A. Hiro/Yaeko
B. Nathan/Niki
C. Simone/Suresh
Rply [sic] A, B, or C
The answer's "C" (and, kinda related, which pairings have ya liked best?)…
9:02 pm:
Heroes: You're right! Niki and Nathan might not have been the real deal, but Hiro and Yaeko were definitely in love--even it [sic] was "accidental."
9:12 pm:
Heroes: Is there any good in Sylar?
D. Yes
E. No
Reply D or E
I went with "D".
9:12 pm:
Heroes: 55% of viewers agreed with you.
(After Mohinder figured out that the sequence was in the adrenaline, and abilities were triggered by the "Fight or Flight" response) 9:16 pm:
Heroes: The term 'Fight or Flight' was coined by American physiologist Walter Cannon in 1915 to describe the actions of the sympathetic nervous system.
(After Matt attempted to read Peter's thoughts) 9:23 pm:
Heroes: Milo perfectly perfectly [sic] performed this scene twice: once as future Peter, once as present Peter. The two shots were combined in post production.
(After the field reporter and cameraman went to see what Nathan had to share) 9:28 pm:
Heroes: The Steadicam featured in this scene is identical to ones actually used during the shooting of this show.
9:30 pm:
Heroes: Who said the famous line in Season One, "Save the cheerleader, save the world"?
F. Hiro
G. Ando
H. Peter
Reply F, G, or H
Seriously? Speculation about StCStW can be found way back in this old thread (and you can even see the vid cap here). Though if ya don't know, read on…
9:31 pm:
Heroes: You're right! Future Hiro warned Peter he must "save the cheerleader" while they were both on a subway train.
(After we see what looks like Nathan talking with Mr. Linderman) 9:44 pm:
Heroes: Linderman's alive!? Who supposedly had killed him last time we saw him?
i. D.L.
J. Jessica
L. Niki
Reply i, J, or L
Weird choices with the mix of upper- and lower-case letters, and no "K" option, imo.
9:45 pm:
Heroes: You're right! D.L. phased and put his hand through Linderman's skull, killing him. Ewwww.
(After seeing Matt face up with a scorpion on his nose) 9:49 pm:
Heroes: While filming this scene, Greg Grunberg actually had a live scorpion walk on his face.
(After Angela tells FPeter that his actions had consequences) 10:01 pm:
Heroes: Ray Bradbury first coined the term the "Butterfly Effect" in his 1952 short story about time travel, A Sound of Thunder.
(After we see Mohinder do a "cherry drop" from a horizontal beam high up in his loft/lab) 10:02 pm:
Heroes: Actor Sendhil Ramamurthy performed this incredible acrobatic stunt using only a small safety harness.
(That's all it should have taken… wink.gif)
(After we find out Tracy isn't Niki) 10:12 pm:
Heroes: In a free-for-all fight, who would win:
M. Niki
N. Tracy
O. Jessica
Reply M, N, or O
Well, since Niki and Jessica are dead, Tracy's the ringer, however, I went with "M".
10:12 pm:
Heroes: 27% of viewers agreed with you.
(After FPeter swoops in to prevent Claire's close encounter with a train) 10:18 pm:
Heroes: Including this time, how many times has Peter saved Claire:
P.1
Q.3
R.5
Reply P, Q, or R
10:19 pm:
Heroes: You're right on! This is the third--and probably not the last time.
(After Linderman tells Nathan to take the Senate position) 10:22 pm:
Heroes: Should Nathan take Linderman's advice?
S. Yes
T. No
Reply S or T
"S" for "si".
10:22 pm:
Heroes: 79% of viewers agreed with you.
(After Tracy happened to touch the Greatest American reporter) 10:34 pm:
A high-speed camera was used in tandem with visual effects to achieve the ice shattering and melting look.
Will Katt should have worn his red suit from that other show…
(After Bob chastised Elle) 10:40 pm:
Heroes: What do you think Elle should do now that's [sic] she's leaving The Company:
U. Track down Sylar
V. Take over The Company
W. Go to college
Reply U, V, or W
I figure that tptb meant for the first choice to say, "Track down those who escaped from Level 5", since Sylar was already detained, so I chose "U".
10:40 pm:
Heroes: 34% of viewers agreed with you.
(After seein' Mohinder's "bacne") 10:43 pm:
HEROES: The scabs on Mohinder's back are actually made from colored potato chips.
Didn't look like they used Ruffles…
(After Claire told Noah that she was even gonna shoot Peter if she had to) 10:53 pm:
Heroes:
Should HRG let Claire come with him?
Y. Yes
Z. No
Reply Y or Z
I thought that he shouldn't let her tag along, and I kinda already knew who would be his "one of them" partner.
10:53 pm:
Heroes: 11% of viewers agreed with you.
And then… (After seein' KITT during the credits) 10:59 pm:
Heroes: Thanks for playing! Tune in next Monday at 9/8c for an all new Heroes.

Sooo… I thought it more convenient to get the texts than the previous interactive event where you hafta be near the computer when the episode aired to get the scoop. And I liked the timing of the messages – it kinda reminded me of the Eagle Eye Free Fall experience

Well, after typing this all up once, and then havin' some goofy browser crash and not savin' it, and then, deciding to type it all up again, there ya go – the first installment of the Insider Interactive SMS feature.

Kinda cool, imo!
