To watch for free, check out the weekly quiz here:
www.friendvista.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=3080&...3D1 and you'll have enough points to watch at least 5 episodes. There's no illegal downloading and it's good viewing quality. I'll look for you if you can't get your Heroes fix anywhere else. :)
p.s. I have the same username there as here.
