heroes was a smash hit fir the first season and then it just became bad so i really don't understand nbc's
decision , especially in light of their cancelling southland (a good show ) for example
was wondering when this would be announced on here, it's been announced for bout a week now on
nbc's website, but hey-ho, knew you'd announce it eventually... this is pretty big news for heroes fans.
totally agreeing the 1st season was the best, 2nd was okay, then declined rapidly with the last 2
seasons, season 4 was just a big pile of shite! it was nice they done a few, 6, webisodes to tell side
stories.
i remember back in 2007 that they announced they were doing a heroes spin-off 6 part mini-series
called "heroes: origins", that would reveal the meaning of the helix symbol, but it got shelved
indefinatly cos of the writers strike thing that happened back then.. so this is leaving me wondering if
this heroes: reborn is just a re-title of that now.
in any case, i'll give it a watch to see what it's like, new powers, new cast, old cast doing cameos, could
be fun.. i really hope they'll do an episode that will let us know what happened to the 1 person who
got trapped in the future where the human race was practically wiped out by that virus, and to see what
happened to sylar's future.. did he really settle down and have a kid? as peter sees when he goes into
the futre on that 1 episode.
nbc, the people who replaced leno with the equivalent of a circus side-show reject. the original series
started with potential, and quickly spiralled into a mess of cheap soap opera skits. nbc - no brain
corporation
you know a show is considered a fail in pop culture when other shows like big bang theory make fun
of it. sheldon commented "...or like heroes that got so bad that we all hoped it would end" - or
something like that.
these shows just don't make it. heroes, alphas, yet another version of "the tomorrow people".
its one thing for today's not-creative creators to re-imagine "charlies angles" or "the bionic
woman" or "knight rider"... just plagiarizing from the previous generation. but now they are
regurgitating their own work. how sad is that?
everyone always says it god bad in later seasons but that's when i thought it got good... people
evolving with powers, conspiracy complete with shadowy groups, government interment camps and spec
ops... yes moar please.
yes moar please -- more bullsheed with a nonsensical plot and an unending supply of new characters
and drama without ever resolving what was introduced beforehand. even better -- a completely new
cast, because the old cast is probably too embarrassed to be reminded of any association with this show
i like the idea of having a 13 episodes only, so you know what are you getting into and means they
won't try to extend it forever and make the writes get into the shitty "freak of the week" formula.
and i believe most people here has bad memory.
the last episode of the first season was one of the most terrible things i've ever seen on tv, specially
considering the whole momentum the series built...
peter petrelli was to explode, an apocalypse about to happen, and all dynamics building up for what?
a cheap fight in a deserted square where the most bizarre mutant guys were fighting like kids on high-
school ending up with all the slow-i'm-about-to-explode-please-save-me drama...
a not a single insect died (in fact that weird cockroach survived, eh?)...
all the exciting dynamics with the "genoma" logo seen everywhere sylar has been and in the end, he
was the most powerful nothing...
then later seasons were all streeeetchy, never getting anywhere, new people with new powers not
adding jack to the plot..
but what really gest me is to see an article calling tim a visionary (really?!)
tim kring is probably a guy has an amazing ability to convince any gorgeus girl to go to bed and... when
he gets there... erm.... pfff... nothing happens...
