So I read today that one of my all time favourite series is being rebooted in 2015!! Heroes Reborn will be directed by Tim Kring :D
How hyped are you guys for this series to return?
Heroes Reborn: Sci-fi TV series set to return in 2015 - News - TV & Radio - The Independent
If Hayden Panettiere is in it I'm there. Assuming I can even remember what time and day it comes on. I'm bad at that...
Wasn't interested in the first round, won't be interested in this one, either.
I loved this show and stayed loyal even when the quality of the writing started to degrade. So I will definitely give Reborn a watch. :jess:
What's the opposite of hyped? Whatever it is I'm that.
Gotta be honest: Heroes had one good season. Everything after that was nothing but the writers and producers dropping the ball, followed swiftly by them dropping the ball even more when they tried to undo their previous screw ups. So I have very little faith that anything good will come from a miniseries no one asked for. I'm honestly pretty much convinced that the success of the first season was a fluke.
Series 1 of Heroes was one of the greatest things I have ever seen on TV. Sadly, I have never ever seen a show take such a drastic downturn in quality in each season after.
Series 2-4 were utterly god awful, and when they finally cancelled the show I was so glad, I no longer even wanted to see them wrap it up. I think it was more painful because series 1 had been so damn good.
I am not interested in this one iota....yet I'll still watch it.
As others have mentioned, it's hard to get excited for this when the latter 75% of the show was utter crap. I'd actually be more interested if this didn't involve any of the original cast.

Wasn't that their original plan? To have a different cast of superheroes each season, but because the characters from Season One got popular they decided to keep them on despite their storyarcs wrapping up?
Yes. The creators spoke at one of Miriel's classes once and she was impressed by their planned approach to vary the stories and characters each season. Of course, they totally caved to the pressures of success and didn't do any of it.
I wish that I could get excited, since I really did enjoy S1. But they butchered it so bad following that. How can I trust them again? :(
I... I did not know that. XD I got into Heroes later than others, I think.Quote:

I'll probably give this a few episodes. I watched the whole of Heroes religiously, and I've always been really saddened by how things turned out for it.
I want to make a television series where the main cast is constantly changing, but the background characters are always the same group of people who manage to find themselves involved in everything that happens. There were a few characters I can remember from Buffy that, while being insignificant, managed to show up and be peripherally recognized throughout the series. I believe there were three who became some kind of significant (Jonathan, Warren and ???) before they inevitably died.Quote:
