Next year.
My problem wasn't that the heroes ran out of things to do, but rather the show never allowed them to go where they so clearly needed to go: a super team stopping villains-of-the-week. Origin stories are very popular with audiences--but Heroes pushed the concept to the illogical extreme. The show should have used the first two seasons to introduce the characters, but then shift gears to mini-arcs and a longer running season arc. Fringe is the perfect model.Matt Hough said:This might be the right motif for Heroes. They simply ran out of things to do with them in a full length season, but in a miniseries, that might be perfect.
I agree. I also kind of hope they keep the same concept and maybe the same universe but don't bring back any of the original characters as main characters. The first season was an excellent season of television, but the subsequent three seasons muddled things so much it'd probably be better to just start with a clean slate.Matt Hough said:This might be the right motif for Heroes.

They also failed to kill off characters. Sylar should have died. But they contorted the story to keep Quinto on screen, to the show's detriment. "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" was an exceptional season of TV. But it had nowhere to go after that. I hope for something great. The current crop of sci-fi is pretty bad. If a Heroes reboot can bring it, I'll watch. But I'm not optimistic.Adam Lenhardt said:I agree.

I got all on blu, what I am hoping for in 13 ep's is closure, an epilogue that matches that first season, if Kring &Co can do that, it will redeem the series as a whole.Stan said:I loved "Heroes", even as it went downhill. Own all the seasons on DVD. Looking forward to this.
Couldn't agree more.Walter C said:I thought each season got less entertaining as the show went on, to a point where I could not finish watching the final season. Hard to believe that it is being brought back, but I guess that shows the desperation of NBC.
Please for the love of god, NO WAY let Kring or his team anywhere near the show or be involved with any writing. That is why I hated it the first time and the guy has no clue at all.dana martin said:I got all on blu, what I am hoping for in 13 ep's is closure, an epilogue that matches that first season, if Kring &Co can do that, it will redeem the series as a whole.
the thing is that is who NBC is dealing with, in the article that I read, so we will see how this turns out.Jeffery_H said:Please for the love of god, NO WAY let Kring or his team anywhere near the show or be involved with any writing.

Precisely, I couldn't agree more.Chip_HT said:The only reason I kind of liked season 1 was because I thought it was leading somewhere. By itself, it's still disappointing.
It still blows my mind that the person who understands a show the least is the so-called "creator".
