Heroes

By noreply@blogger.com (The ODI) Kring discusses both his film influences and film school experience, as well as his work behind the scenes in TV production before becoming a writer. He elaborates about the development of plot vs. characters, and the collaboration in the writers room that is essential in serialized tele...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (A. Hiro) Welcome to our 21st Heroes Round Table. A. Hiro: Yes! We've been told that abilities eventually make people evil, but why is Nathan the first to realize how much good they can also lead to? Let's put the proper Petrelli in charge of Pinehearst and see what happens.

By Meredith Woerner In an interview with IGN Kring struggled to describe why so many people may prefer watching a story-rich show like Heroes via TiVo or online, hurting the show's ratings: Kring rushed to apologize, and in his defense he seems genuinely sorry. It's gotta be hard to be the Heroes guy these days.

By Charlie Jane Anders Lost: Heroes: Hoping to find a way to stop Arthur (guest star Robert Forster), Hiro (Masi Oka) and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) band together and travel back in time 16 years to when Kaito (guest star George Takei) gave baby Claire to H.R.G. (Jack Coleman). Meanwhile, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia)...

By Michael Hickerson As part of the panel, Kring said that his initial desire was to create an serialized ensemble drama along the lines of “24″ or “Lost” for NBC.   The Peacock network didn’t have such a series and Kring thought that “Heroes” would be a perfect fit for the network.

By Kyle Buchanan Try as we might, we can't use our special powers to divine the expletive Kring used (every time we focus really hard, all we see is the word "Sheetzucacapoopoo"), but we do find it novel that he's essentially dissing the early watchers who are the sole source of next-day water cooler buzz. Le...

By Graeme McMillan While the second season of NBC's Heroes may have failed to build on the success of the first on almost every conceivable level - the addition of Kirsten Bell keeping it from being a complete failure - the accompanying webcomics, now collected as Heroes, Volume Two from DC Comics, shows the...

By Dustin Surresh worked on the formula and he and Arthur discovered a third piece was needed to make it work, a catalyst. Arthur knew what it was, and were Kaito had hidden it. It was obvious it was Claire, as Kaito gave Claire to HRG years ago as a baby.

By Kate Heroes Promises It’s Coming But This Week Doesn’t Deliver November 18th, 2008 Recap and review by Kate Blake Admin Multipleverses.com This week felt like a filler episode for me on Heroes. Lets start with a recap and talk about the key points as we go. Last week which was a rather strong episode linking back to the past and the Heroes glory days ended with Arthur Petrelli swooping in and mind wiping Hiro after killing the bushman painter. He stops when Ando sees him and tries to stop him then Arthur sees a big rock painting with an eclipse. He zaps out and Ando is left with a very confused Hiro. Ando and  Hiro spend the episode teleported back to Japan where Ando tries to guide Hiro who doesn’t seem to have any memories past the age of 10. They spend most of t...   [read the full post]

By Jennifer Thomas It's Coming" and that's a good thing because what's coming sounds like what will finally be a satisfactory showdown in the Nov. 24 and Dec. 1 episodes, "Eclipse I and II." Turns out tonight's episode simply built up to that point, setting up the sides: some with the Company and Angela Petrelli...

By Grace Surprise, surprise! Meredith Gordon is Flint’s sister and the smarter of the two. The Company offered Meredith a chance at being agent, which she passed with flying colors. We also learn that she really hates the Company for stealing her baby Claire years ago.

By Kate Heroes- Villains Episode Summary, trailers for next week November 11th, 2008 By Kate Blake- Admin MV Heroes got back to basics this week- by this I mean focus returned to our core characters and provided some solid linear narrative that connected this season’s disparate storylines to the very first season and some of our favorite moments from that season which was the one that people initially enjoyed and tuned in for. The episode begins where the last one left off- Hiro is in Africa and while Ando looks on the African painter gives him a bowl of hallucinogenic goop that allows Hiro to take a spirit walk like Matt did when he was in Africa. Hiro does not see the future- he has to see the past to understand when things changed and what were the crit...   [read the full post]

By Scott Thill Unlike evil patriarch Arthur Petrelli, however, the angry parent corporation of Heroes had a good reason for wreaking havoc on the status quo. The show remains a ratings sinkhole, and its recycled narratives are turning off more viewers than they are signing up.

By Jennifer Thomas The next new episode, "Villains" on Nov. 10, sounds promising with Hiro going back to the days before Arthur Petrelli "died" to see how and why he started Pinehearst and decided to strike out against Angela. Do you think it's a good idea to see the heroes before they had powers? They've alread...

By Jennifer Thomas Elle (Kristen Bell) returns with some surprising news for Claire's family. (And there will be a catfight with Claire.) Nathan and Tracy battle a very monstrous-looking Suresh. Angela Petrelli is back in the game and trying to convince Sylar to help save Peter.

By Geoff West First, the actors go on strike and now the muse has too. How did it happen? In the beginning is was all so simple: Save the Cheerleader, Save the World. Luckily for Heroes, TV is bad everywhere. Even with the loss, the show is the fifth-most watched on TV. Poor Heroes.  First, the actors go on strik...

By Arieanna Milo Ventimiglia’s character Peter Petrelli has caught himself in quite the mess. In order to save the world, he had to grab Sylar’s power. Which is a nasty nasty power, one that comes with an insatiable hunger. We learn that future-Sylar has overcome this hunger, but not easily. So, present-...

By Mike2GuysTalking – The Want for MORE: While I won’t be following Heroes this season regularly, there is something that - again - many shows totally miss at the end of an episode:  The pushing of the “button to make people come back.”  There should be a reason for you to WANT to come back to a show every week, and th...

By Jason the TVaholic Heroes (NBC): Season Premiere. Finding out who the shooter was sends Peter and Matt into the unknown. Sylar goes to war with the Company and finds a lot more than he ever thought on Level 5. Runs two hours. A recap episode plays right before, where the cast gives you a look behind the scenes of the s...

By Debbie The TV Addict posted an interview that they did with Milo Ventimiglia during the Television Critics Association Press Tour.  Nothing much new but an interesting quote about his character:  Forbes has an article all about celebrity nerds.  Of course Heroes Masi Oka made the list, but so di...

By Sam Sloan Lastly, I say this. Heroes has always had the potential to be the great graphic novel/comic book live series that we’ve all waited for. Kring and NBC need to embrace that with open arms and minds and like Peter Petrelli, step off the ledge of “safe” into the open air of possibilities. If they can...

By Sam Sloan “The Season Two DVD pack is a reminder of just how outstanding this show has become and the limitless heights that creator Tim Kring will still be able to bring to it” When NBC Universal asked if they could send me a copy of the 4-Disc Season Two DVD of “Heroes” to review, there was certainly [...]

By Charlie Jane Anders So could we eventually have a TV show about a science hero who does leave everything better at the end of an hour than at the beginning? Probably not — the more I ponder the mechanics of an hourlong TV drama, the more I think the best we'll ever get is a noble scientist hero who defends our way of l...

By Charlie Jane Anders On TV, Doctor Who features a mad-scientist archetype as the hero, and the early episodes of the series in the 1960s made a conscious effort to portray the Doctor as an anti-hero rather than a more uncomplicated good guy. Over time, the Doctor became purer and more motivated by compassion fo...

By vacelts I'm kind of relieved that Heroes will be on a bit of a break for awhile.  Quite simply, "Powerless" left me feeling ambivalent at best.  The deaths were Niki, who dies in a fire rescuing Monica, and Nathan, who is shot during a press conference to expose The Company.

I love the prompt on Chandra Suresh’s computer: “ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO QUIT?” Very fitting. And apparently Mohinder is not. Good for you. Now, scamper back to New York, quick like a bunny. Til next episode, or visit my website for more reviews! GoldenGait

Note: This is not confirmed, I doubt this "Insider" is actually giving out legit spoilers, only time will tell. i started thinking about how i wanted to present the infos that i have on the boards... i thought the best way to do this was to make separate posts for the major storylines that are comi...

By Kevin Thompson(kthompson@pbpost.com) What I didn't like was Hiro in 1671 Japan. It's too soon to tell, but I think Hiro's nerdy, time-bending character might wear a little thin this season. Every time I saw him and Alias' David Anders as Takezo Kensei, Hiro's childhood hero who is so not Japanese, the story screeched to a halt. It's...

By Chris Beaumont The season is already over, with the most recent episode, "Heroes," marking the end of season four, making way for the return of the Penn Jillette-hosted series, Identity. I am saddened that the season is already over, especially with all of the story threads that were coming to a head as th...

By Ian Woolstencroft Heroes This is one of those “not much happens” episodes; this concentrates on Matt as he turns first security guard and then jewel thief. The focus is also on Niki as the mysterious Mr Linderman orders her to murder one of his employees who just happens to be the guy Matt’s guarding. Some nice a...

By Cara de Pescado Nathan Petrelli has been working with the FBI on gathering evidence against Linderman. Unfortunately, Linderman is aware of this little fact and has Nathan’s FBI handlers killed. He does, however, make Nathan an offer he apparently can’t refuse. Ultimately it boils down to the choice of l...

By TV and Film Guy Why, I ask you, does Monday night TV have to be so good? Why do there have to be so many good hours of shows on Monday? Can’t we move some of that stuff to Tuesday and Wednesday, where I personally feel that there is a dearth of entertaining television?
