WTF really? Heroes? I was an avid supporter of Heroes for the first season (excluding the S1 finale) and even stood up for it in S2. But then it all completely went to shit and gave up after the third season. I didn't even bother watching S4 and I'm pretty sure nobody else in the world did either. Why they are attempting a reboot is beyond me.

"The characters and plots will be introduced in a digital series that will precede the TV premiere."

ugh. Guys, the online shit wasnt cute the first time. If I'm going to watch a TV show, I'm going to watch it on fucking TV (okay, on a streaming site 7 months later. I am bad at catching shows). I don't want to have to follow the online stuff ust to understand whats going on or watch the arcs resolve of the characters suddenly deemed too unimportant for the show.

I think I'll give this a try though. I don't really want to like it, but a new cast might make it worth the watch.

This is bringing back LOST memories I thought that I had repressed.

The show always had lots of POTENTIAL, it just never really fulfilled it. If they can recreate some S1 magic and sustain it, why not give them the chance? They did get fucked over by the writers strike but there where other problems ofc.

Most of the characters where just dull and boring really. Only ones I remember liking where Noah, Lindeman and Sylar. Rest I couldnt care about. The time spent on Peter and Claire was YAWN

Not holding my breath or anything but will check it out.

Bringing back Heroes? Sounds like a nifty trick!

No

Watch out guys. Curtis seems so angry he might be Going Postal!

At least it's only a mini-series and they are not planning to bring bring it back full time.

if it's successful there's no way it'll continue being a mini-series. but i don't think it will be.

I do think the original cast had a great deal of potential for a full series, but expanding it too much killed the series. I did watch up to S3 in order to expect something better but never happened. I do hope at least some of the main characters come back and see how that goes on. To give it a proper ending at least.

>_>

The problem with Heroes was it tried to have a sense of direction and building towards something greater, but ultimately it wasnt building towards anything. They tried too hard to build a mythology that seemed to be leading towards a larger climax, but the problem was that it created a universe where the mythology and the building story failed to reconcile each other.

Heroes is a story of mutant human beings slowly but surely appearing across the globe, so the mythology they wanted to build had to be global. But for the plot to work these people needed greater reasons to encounter each other and continue interacting.

A villian like Sylar and the Company worked well for that, but once those were sort of resolved (not really but they pushed the plots beyond where they could take them) there were few reasons for these people to continue interacting. They never formed relationships, just vague 'oh hey i remember you"s and the show tried to make that keep happening.

There were some amazing character relationships and minor arcs that could have been expected on but the scope was too large for these meetups to turn into much else.

Season 1 introduced us to these characters with unexpected connections, and teased us with smaller meetings, trying to build to a climactic fight and a teamup of all these characters. But then they failed at that and season two was also just a series of people bumping into each other briefly.
