Should Heroes Set an End Date?
Over at THR’s The Live Feed, TV blogger James Hibberd has put together six reasons why NBC should seriously consider giving Heroes a set end date (that is, a set number of years for the show to run, then end it). He makes some good points. Here they are, in order. I’ll only take the ...
NBC Plans to Renew Heroes for Season 4
There has been a lot of speculation about whether Heroes will return for a fourth season. A lot of the chatter has been generated by Greg Grunberg’s twittering.

Heroes News Round-up: New Web Series, Writers Fired, Budget Cutbacks
While the season is in full swing, I really try not to post too much news bits, as they tend to take focus away from the show’s ongoing episodes and onto things that I think are somewhat trivial. (Hayden and Milo splitting up, for instance. Too bad for them, but it doesn’t affect the show ...

Tim Kring and the Saps and Dipsh*ts Controversy
Tim Kring seems to have stepped into it, and didn’t even realized it until the blogosphere picked up his comments and (as they are wont to do) sensationalized the story to within an inch of its life. The comments made by Kring happened during the Creative Screenwriting’s 2008 Screenwriting Expo held last week, where the ...
Heroes: Destiny Webisode Part 2 (of 4) Invervention
In the world of Heroes, no one gets anything for free. Take Santiago for example: after discovering that he has the power to predict events and move at superspeed, our man meets the beautiful Elisa, who as it turns out, has nefarious ulterior motives. Plus, there’s an ice queen in the background with a taser ...
Speak Out: How Would YOU Solve Heroes’ Problems?
