Members YRBB Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Let the crappola return! http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2014/02/22/nbc-heroes-reborn/5745541/ I especially love how the show's decline is blamed on viewers unable to deal with heavily serialized storyline. GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 How desperate is NBC? And as always, the public gets the blame. This is typical of Kring, who, along with the later Star Trek TV producers and the Lost producers, loved to blame fans for any unpopular storyline, because fans just didn't get it. Few shows have EVER tanked as quickly as Heroes did. And that is on Kring. No one else. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 An awful show from start to finish. There was no 'decline' - it was always that bad, it just had early novelty on its side in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I know a lot of people enjoyed the first season (at least until the last few episodes). I don't know. I never could stomach it, especially after they mindwiped a gay character. My finding Zachary Quinto annoying did not help. I wonder if they will try to get Hayden for a cameo.

Members quartermainefan Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I enjoyed the first season but then everyone started getting powers. I think I checked out when Milo V's mother, who appeared to be the queen of the villains, turned out to be a superpowerful not so bad person who happened to have an even more powerful husband. I liked the artist character but they killed him fairly early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I only watched the first season. And even there was a SHARP decline in quality as soon as they had finished their first arc ended. But I think 13 episodes could meld with Tim Kring's attention span. Still, this reboot is kinda unexpected/weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I liked the first season a lot but I tend to enjoy superhero origin stories. After the show just fell off the rails, slowly then quickly. There are few shows that managed to destroy my goodwill so effectively. I really don't understand why they're resurrecting this show. It was expensive to produce and full of behind the scene shenanigans. What makes them think it will be more profitable now? There's no big post-cancellation cult. At least not where I've seen. There's no big Heroes contingent at any of the conventions I've been to. In fact there's no Heroes contingent at all. No one is selling or wearing "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" or "Ya Ta!" t-shirts. Nobody's wearing the Heroes symbol jewelry or tattoos. When there's a real cult influence you can usually see it at conventions and online. It would be nice to see Jack Coleman as HRG again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Even the first, so-called good season really wasn't all that great if one looks at it. I enjoyed it and watched the whole first season when it was airing but, in reality, it was just about a bunch of random caricatures with special powers that did random sh!t. When the whole exploding man arc ended up in a horrible anti-climax with no resolution whatsoever, I was done. Should have given up then. Instead hang around to witness the horrors of the season 2 premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Awesome. I hope it's along the lines of s1 and 4. Loved those seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Kring is a horrible showrunner. CROSSING JOURDAN was a good series but he contsantly dropped characters and stories which could have been great. HEROES had a really cool cast and promise and it worked well for the original miniseries run of 13 episodes before everything went kaboom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Superheroes were popular 8 years ago but they are even more so now with the success of the Avengers and the related films, and even that ARROW has proven to be a success. Plus, fantasy elements on TV are more popular than ever with shows liike GoT and TWD all the rage, It does seem like a theoretical good fit with the times.

Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 This show tended to be anti-superhero. They rarely embraced the positive or fun side and were always wrist-slitting and basic. I also feel like that genre is starting to fade a little. Between this and giving JLo 15 episodes for a show she's starring in, without even seeing a pilot first, NBC seems to be in desperation mode.
