View Full Version : Heroes - Season 2 info...*Spoilers*
5 pages of nice Heroes S2 info over at EW weekly...
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20036782_20037403_20037536,00.html
No major spoilers,more a direction of where the show is heading and how it will break down airing wise...
I started to, but then realised there were a few spoilers for this season so stopped.
The May 21 season capper will set up two big ideas for the second volume of Heroes, to be titled ''Generations.'' The new saga will focus on putting the Heroes mythology in a grand historical context of superpowered family dynasties. ''I know exactly where season 2 starts,'' says Oka. ''It focuses on heritage, the family line, and the source of the powers.'' That means the ''older'' generation of heroes — including George Takei's Papa Nakamura and especially Cristine Rose's Mama Petrelli — should expect more screen time. ''I'd like to think she's going to become queen of the world,'' says Rose. ''But I don't think that's going to happen.''
there are a load of potential spoilers at heroeswiki
some mention a potential new baddie called Uluru who may or may not be papa petrelli. other theories are that sylar has a brother or brothers (hence the name of the shop - gray and sons) who may also have powers?
cant wait for S2 :)

The Haitian will also have parents of course.
some mention a potential new baddie called UluruUluru is a large blue rock monster who has appeared on the cover of one of Micah's comics, and also as a wallpaper or screensaver or something on somebody's PC. Uluru is also a name for Ayer's Rock, and there is a relationship there to dreaming.
The Haitian will also have parents of course.
His dad's in this week's comic, actually.

FYI there is a video on YouTube here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NvU4MfcsO0Y) that is a preview from Season 2 shown at the recent San Diego Comic Con 2007; it obviously contains some spoilers!

From what I could see (DOWN IN FRONT!) there are lots of well known faces back once again :)
What happened to the season bridge "origins"?, did that get scrapped?

I think it starts in 2008, 6-7 episodes with Kevin Smith directing the first one.

I think i read somewhere that it is going to be shown after the last episode of series 2, so i think there are going to be 28 weeks of heroes!! :clap:

I guess that this must kick in from Hiro at the end of the final ep of season 1
I want it now!!! (Rabbi throws a strop & stamps his feet) :D
Did I spot a new cast member in the form of Stephen Tobolowski in that video? I can't take him seriously :(

Am I the only person who actually found Heroes quite boring as it got closer to the end? I was enthralled for about the first 10-12 episodes, but then just slowly started to get more and more bored by it.
thought so...fan boy sex wee all over the place :lol:

I certainly didn't find that at all but there are some who did and some who hate the show too.

I think it's because of the sheer amount of episodes that it feels like everything just gets drawn out too much and there's too much exposition.

The voice over isn't done by Suresh.

I thought Shenkar was the vocalist/singer, and actor Sendhil Ramamurthy who plays Suresh does the voice over... I'm nigh certain of it.
At first, the voice-overs seemed ponderous and pretentious, but over the course of the first series I either got used to them or actually started to like them. Not sure which!

http://heroeswiki.com/Shenkar
yes it is and you are wrong :) Shenkar is the voice in the "wailing" tune that is played at various stages in the episodes and not the voiceovers at the beginning of the eps or in the season 2 trailer...
Shenkar is responsible for the vocalizations added to the opening credit music and transitions on the series Heroes. not voiceovers.

Origins is dead!
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3iff716996ae2a7e21c8a3f229c7669739
It is indeed & S2 ratings are causing concern too apparently. They need to pull the finger out soon or what began as a very promising, long-lasting show is going to disappear. :|

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3iff716996ae2a7e21c8a3f229c7669739
good, it was a rubbish idea anyway
Not surprised at all - S2 is shaping up to a real disappointment... dull, slow and bad orish accents!!
Was very bored watching the last few eps... looks like I'm not the only one.
Dead due to the screen writers' strike rather than the ratings. I've enjoyed Season 2 so far and it has been getting steadily stronger although it's not had the wow factor of Season 1 but that is to be expected.
Yikes! ... It's been confirmed that they are shooting an alternative ending to the episode airing December 3rd, that originally concluded the "Generations" storyline. If the Writer's strike continues, this ending will be used & act as a Season Two FINALE!!! :eek:

Ouch. And here's me in the other thread saying the strike wouldn't have much of an impact :lol:
I would assume that if that NBC might not wait till next autumn for the start of season 3 when the strike lifts assuming it lasts long enough to use the alternative Volume 2 ending.

From US TV guide:
Sources confirm that [“Heroes”] is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped.
Hmm, well, this morning there IS a strike on. So expect a mere 13 episodes of Heroes this year...
If the December 3rd episode is the season finale, then there will be only 11 episodes.
Isn't it possible to still get Volume 3 this year if the strike is lifted?

Ah, sorry, not keeping track :D
There's a rumour flying around that Tom Kring has either quit or been fired from 'Heroes' due to not being willing to make changes to the storylines on 'Heroes'. The studio want to quickly wrap up plotlines and discard others that they feel are not needed.
However I stress that it's just a rumour though at the moment.

Depends how long the strike lasts really...

I for one am in no hurry to watch it... which isn't a good sign!

Jeph Loeb was the star behind the scenes bod on the show. Is he still there for season 2?

Well who ever thought the 'Oirish' plot line was a good idea needs sacking...
Hmmm...I don't think that that is good news if the studio are going to be the ones in control of the show! I hope that if it's true that Jeph Loeb takes over as the series patriarch.

06-11-2007, 12:19

Still a rumour. I'm surprised the trade papers haven't mentioned it as they're blogging every sneeze on the picket lines. The fact that they haven't said anything about it makes me wonder if it's wrong.

I know there is a thread already for episode 7 (S2) but I just want to encourage people to keep watching the show. I'd nearly given up on it and then they deliver the best episode of this new series so far. The show we all know and love is back on track...

I can't imagine why anyone would be happy to fire the creator of a show, after all we know bugger all about what happens behind the scenes and we wouldn't want the network to try and take control of a show as it usually shortly after that a show gets cancelled.

I think the reason is, Tim's episode that he writes are crap with poor dialogue. I would be happy he if stopped writing the episodes (its very much like the situation on dr who)

bang on. RTD is a pox on Who in the writing stakes frankly, but I have no probs with him controlling everything as an overseer. Like Lucas with Star Wars. Its fine to gestate the thing, but can you write for it?

I find it hard that has come from a show creator and if it really did I give even more kudos to Mr Kring, a show executive that actually listened, said he was wrong and where it went wrong. You don't often see that and if you do it they are usually trying to shift the blame on to someone else.
The writers' strike may just be a blessing in disguise for Heroes.

Possibly. Surprising it has fared this badly, though S2 has been very slow going and I guess people didn't want a repeat of the gentle buildup of S1, they were happy to sit through it first time round. Now they want action. Lost went the same way, dragged its arse through series two and the ratings dropped...
This can only be good news for us though.
Good to hear from Kring that he was to blame for the silly romances and the slow build up, hopfully it will be back on track now, shame may end shortly due to the strike just as it was getting back to its best

I don't think its that, I think, season 2 has not been very good. Poor new characters have taken up time that could of been put to better use and were a waste of time tbh. I have not seen any positive comments for the blunder twins and memory girl, also everyone seems to hate the emo-flyer (claire's new "boyfriend")
season 1 had a slow build up but that was done a lot better
I was searching google for Sarah Silverman hq promo pics when I came across this.
It feels really wrong!!
