Toups, will you be continuing the list of episodes and writers? I just wouldn't like you to delete the season one info, like you did in Grey's Anatomy thread (where there's only season three info; do you have season 1 & 2?)

Yup, I'll be doing the list for Season 2.

As for Grey's I just started with season 3.

The first episode was alright, but last nights was great..They are doing a great job of starting up new and interesting stories..The Hiro story is great and very funny...

So, what do you think about the first J. J. Philbin episode?

Things really need to pick up. I understand that they're trying to set things up but at least have some good action. Also, I hate that everyone is at a different location once again. Get everyone together, Tim Kring!!

The pacing is so bad, it hurts!! If they don't fix something soon and fire Philbin and Green, I'm done with this show. Plot-holes galore, coma-inducing stories (twins and Hiro), plain awful sh!t like Peter in Ireland and Niki wanting to be cured, Candace...

And how many unbelievably corny moments did this episode exactly? Signature Philbin writing.

And the worst LOD:

PETER: Lightning! Sparks!

I ain't blaming Green or Philbin. The blame lies on the showrunner, Tim Kring. Such a bad decision to start off the season with a slow pace and everyone seperated.

Yes, Kring is guilty, too, but these two also. Bad dialogue, awful structure. Bye, bye, Greene and Philbin.

And what on earth are Loeb and Alexander doing over there?? They should know better and steer Kring in the right direction!

And ratings are down - from 8.1 to 6.4.

I like the twins (them, Nathan, the Bogeyman, and Micha's family is intriguing to me)... now Peter's storyline and Niki wanted to be by the Company (despite the fact that she worked for them, and know the "evil" that they do) that is some mess. And I can do without the same ol' mess that Sylar's doing. I'm also tired of them not revealing more of the older generation yet.

To me, the whole idea that Niki is serious about curing herself from this "disease" is just so naive and unbelievable. That woman Micah is going to stay with is I guess his grandmother (or is she?) and she has an intriguing face, so I'm waiting for some interesting stuff over there.

The twins are all over the place, they keep running from the law, than there's that badly written scene with the fortuneteller, escape from prison equally bad, their power is weird, too.

Too many deus ex machinas for my taste - every time we need a power or a miraculous escape, oh, look - there is a character that has it and that can get us out of this mess. And there is the fact that at the end of each episode there is a cliffhanger that is quite good, but that's supposed to delete the previous 40 minutes of plain boredom.

John August to write for Heroes: Origins

Heroes: Origins

I’m writing and directing one of the Heroes: Origins episodes.

News of this leaked out over the past few weeks — it even shows up on my IMDb page — but it wasn’t official until quite recently, so I didn’t want to blog about it.

For those who haven’t been obsessively following All Things Heroes, Origins is an anthology series that takes place in the same universe as Heroes, but doesn’t correlate directly to the main season’s plotlines. Modeled after shows like The Twilight Zone, each week’s episode stands on its own, with new characters and self-contained situations.

I’m being careful not to say too much, because it’s not my show. It’s Tim Kring’s show. I’m just delighted to get to muck around in it.

How did I get the gig? I asked. Repeatedly. From the moment it was first announced, I knew I wanted to do one. I love writing one-hour dramas — act breaks are amazing tools — but I didn’t want to write a pilot this season. And it’s almost impossible for a writer to drop in for just one episode of an ongoing series. Not only is it like trying to grab a moving train, but it would ruin all the enjoyment of watching one of my favorite shows.

So, an anthology series is incredibly appealing. I’m grateful they said yes.

Kevin Smith, Eli Roth and Michael Dougherty have already been announced for the series. The plan as I understand it is to air all of the Origins episodes after the main season concludes. (So, April?) With looming labor uncertainty, I don’t want to assume that calendars are set in stone. In fact, everything these days feels a little bit wobbly. But I’ve already enjoyed plotting out my episode with the Heroes folk, and look forward to shooting it. Fingers crossed.

A solid episode. Could have been better, but some things are moving in the right direction.
