One thing I wonder about, though, is if it's true that this show's ratings are falling, is the only decision between canceling it and forging ahead?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ratings are falling, but it isn't doing horribly or anything. It's still NBC's top scripted show ratings wise (which isn't saying much, but it does mean it's safe and it carries young males pretty handily which I assume advertisers like).

So yea, there's no way, even if there is a steady decline throughout the season, that we wont see a full s. 2 of Heroes.

Has the whole season been shot already, or is there a possibility of the right people taking notice of things sucking and reworking the show down the line?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah whole season hasn't been shot yet, probably not even written, though one would hope the writers have major arcs mapped out more or less. There's a break mid-season, where they have the "Origins" episodes, at most I would guess that they've filmed to the break, if that.

Claire being with any guy who isn't me is lame.

This is something that alot of writers/producers don't seem to understand.

If you have a hot girl in a TV series don't get her romantically involved with some pretty-boy douche bag. It turns guys off because we want the fantasy that she is available.

Note: If you are doing a lame chick show like Grey's Anatomy then it's ok.

Word.

I'll be happy if Claire hooks up with some geek boy. Not smug ass pretty flying [censored].

They're going a great job of flipping this on Gossip Girl, where super pretty girl is trying to get with geek boy, who was awestruck but is now quickly full of contempt for her because she's potentially annoying rich goddess (but because that't he only element of the show that isn't cliche she's got a heart of gold yada yada yada).

Knee, Heroes:Origins will air after season 2 ends, at least that's what I've heard most recently.

Sorry guys, just a random question from a guy who doesn't watch the show.

Has Christopher Eccleston been on the show yet? If yes, what do you think of him as a tv actor?

He was, of course, the ninth doctor on Doctor Who (one of the biggest shows in television history ldo), and it was odd to see him pop up in a seemingly random American show.

Yes, he was on last season. Considering he seemed like pretty much the same person as he did in Doctor Who, I'd say he's a pretty mediocre actor.

[TheCroShow]

in a teaser during a commercial break on The Office, we were told that one of the Heroes we know is killing the other Heroes.

Thoughts? Who could it be? Nathan gets my vote

El D,
On the bright side 24 comes back in a couple months!

Get out! I love this guy.

I like Eccleston's acting a lot, but there's nothing 'of course' about his Doctor Who stardom on this side of the atlantic. I'd suggest Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later or any of the other feature films he's done.

That's a good thing? I forgot who said it last year, but a bad Heroes episode is just a pretty comic, and a bad 24 episode is a Tom Clancy movie.
