I'd like to see them wrap it up, truthfully. Aside from Season 1 and the Villians run, its been so-so.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the series (the Villains arc was iffy, though). I think a lot of people were expecting way too much, imo.

I've enjoyed the current run with the carnival villain dude. That and the first season were the best. Others rather blah.

If it's just to tie up any loose ends and send it off with a bang then I'm all for it.

Only 13 episodes? Regular season is longer than that. Another network could probably pick it up after it ends because I'm sure more people will watch for the final season than previous seasons and they could go with the momentum.

I loved Heroes in the beginning but I pretty much suffered through this last season in hopes that it would get better.

The Hollywood trades are reporting that fan favorites V and Chuck will be renewed for next season. NBC is giving Chuck a third season, while ABC is set to keep its new version of the 1980s science fiction saga V on tap for a second go-round. Both the Chuck and V orders are expected to be for just 13 episodes, which is typically all the commitment that a network will give to a “bubble” show these days.
The same trade sources are predicting a dire fate for both NBC’s once popular Heroes and for ABC’s freshman science fiction series Flash Forward, which was created by David Goyer (Batman, The Dark Knight). It is likely that the Heroes team will be given at least one TV movie-type opportunity to tie up the series’ loose ends, if indeed it does get cancelled. Don’t count on Flash Forward getting the same option, if it gets canned. |

Heroes deserves to have another half season at least. Pieces of shit make so much crap waaay shitter yet it goes on longer. Anyone ever seen Gilmore Girls? I nearly slit my wrists with my keys.

Apparently it's been canned, no sendoff or last series etc.

I need to get the rest of the seasons on BD. It wasn't perfect, but there was a lot of good.

I don't know if anyone here remembers it but NBC had another show called the The 4400, it had a setup similar to Heroes (ordinary people, un-ordinary powers) and was a pretty good show. But it was canceled right in the middle of a story arc and left completely open-ended. What's the point of doing this? They should at least let these shows come to some sort of conclusion before hand.

And I empathise, because when I like a show I want to see it finish. But they're the ones putting money into it, as well as a time slot and promotion. Heroes was still pretty popular, but suffered from a high production cost along with diminished ratings. This particularly sucks because the talent shows are doing time and a half or double the ratings Heroes pulled in on its last couple seasons. Since those shows are relatively cheap to produce (as are reality TV shows), it was probably small consolation that Heroes was still one of the hottest shows for Seasons 2-3 (and possibly 4). That being said, it helps turn me off from future productions. Fox canceled so many shows before they really got off the ground, I don't bother. If a show's good, and last for more than three episodes, I'll pick it up on DVD. Admittedly, some of those shows probably sucked, but I'll never really know. NBC's probably not that bad, but I only watch like 2 shows on there anyway, so I don't know. I can't say for sure, but I do kind of think that "brand trust" is an issue for the average viewer. cable's usually better anyway. |

Season 1 let's face it was the best season, so different and good.
Season 2 wasn't as good but still good. The latter half of season 3 I liked. Season 4 was pants. They screwed up big time. |

How so? Besides the fact that Hiro's time traveling got a bit convoluted (a symptom that occurs in practically every show which involves time traveling) it was a descent season: the idea of villains existing outside the scope of the Company gave an additional dimensions to the Heroes universe, and I thought it ended well too.

It was obvious Samuel killed Joseph from the get go, and they tried to go about it in such a way that it would gradually lead up to it, but it was just a mess.
So many other things like... - Having a cool cast and new characters, but not actually seeing much development or action or 'purpose' that season one and others had. - Hardly ANY actual conflict; action scenes, fights or impressive epicness at all. - They had far too many flashback episodes, revisiting the shit with Charlie AGAIN and again. Two Noah episodes that really had anything decent about it. Big deal, he had an affair, who gives a shit. - The last episode was terrible. The final fight was pathetic. - They never seem to go anywhere with anything; the compasses that would appear as a tattoo and spin on their own, wtf? and the helix signs we have seen in shit since season 1 - its like they had these little signs that alluded to that maybe there was a bigger masterplan of a stoyline at work, but they just never went anywhere. - How they practically made Hiro out to be one of the WORST characters ever. His story, his music, everything was just a let down and an annoyance. - The shit with Nathan/Sylar dragged on far too long. - And like I said, there was no action, no epic fights or anything. It's like they thought, 'ok most shows try to make their following seasons better than the last, let's go the other way and see how bad we can make it?'. And yeah, the idea of villains exhisting outsider the scope of the company?... - Villains and the monster aspect of season 3 focused on it also. - It's already been done, not only with having heroes as villains but exploring the dark side of character with time travel explorations and having absolute power, ie Peter. - So they make a new company at the end, of season 4 anyway, its all on repeat. |

I know!
I am a big fan of his, and I loved the look of Edgar, but he wasn't used in a good way AT ALL. I'm not trying to be headed or anything here ok, but I swear to god, with my love for what Heroes once was, and everything I know about screenwriting and for what all my years of studying film and media has - I swear down I believe I could've written a season 4 of Heroes that the real fans would've loved. |

When NBC cancelled Heroes last May (see “Heroes Is Dead”), there was talk of a made for TV movie that would tie up all the series’ loose ends. Now a source close to the show has told Entertainment Weekly that the peacock network is definitely not moving ahead with a movie that would provide fans with one last chance to see what happened to the characters they had been following for four seasons.
Heroes, which was created by Tim Kring, began with very strong ratings, but never recovered from the interruptions created by the writers’ strike. Wildstorm’s two Heroes graphic novels, which were based on a weekly Webcomic created by NBC to promote the series, were very strong sellers. |

At the very least someone will probably do a comic book continuation.
I still never watched past the first half of season 3. I would have watched the other half, but I thought the season was over with the end of "volume three". After that, never really felt the need to get back in to it. |

Rob Liefield will be directing.
As such, the budget calls for 22 million dollars worth of pouches. |
