Bryan Fuller spills a little about Volume 5! *Spoilers*

[SuperT]

Read the episode description for "Exposed," she's alive and the government capture sqaud is keeping her hostage.

 

[fu manchu]

Whoa! Awesome spoiler!

Tracy gets doused with ice-cold water!!! Hopefully she's wearing a white t-shirt. t:

 

[fu manchu]

So I guess that eliminate one person from the list of people that may be dying at the end of this season.

Kristin from E! is reporting that Tracy will die somewhere around Episode 20.

 

[chaseter]

Kristin also said that Elle was faking her death

 

[fu manchu]

well, sometimes she's right and sometimes she's wrong.

 

[Nivek]

Kill Claire and Hiro...who cares.

I'm with you on that. I really hate these two characters anymore.

 

[Raiden]

Kristin also said that Elle was faking her death

I wonder why they off Elle, when there are characters that are more deserving to get written off the show than she does stay around. Maybe Kristen Bell is tired of the show and wants to move on?

 

[SuperT]

It was revealed a while ago that Kristen Bell asked to be written out of the show to pursue her movie career.

 

[chaseter]

Kristen could have made a killing being the fan favorite female on Heroes

 

[bullets]

If they killed off claire and hiro that would be epic. they might write them off the show but wouldn't kill them entirely.

 

[bullets]

Kristen Bell was only going to be on board for a short amount of time anyway . I do miss seeing her though. I also feel that Sylar has killed way to many characters. They are wasting deaths in his corner when they could be used to build other villians

 

[SouLeSS]

I'm a little upset that they're just repeating everything that they've already done.

Giving this chapter 2 more episodes and if it doesn't interest me I'm done with it.

 

[chaseter]

Yeah this volume is their last chance for me as well. If it doesn't redeem itself, I can watch Season 1 over and over again.

 

[SouLeSS]

It's not even really that for me. It's just after season 1 being good, season 2 being better (got ****ed up with the writers strike, but season 2 is much better and faster paced than season 1 imo), and having my balls jostled every week with chapter 3 (loved a lot of it, hated a lot of it)...this chapter 4 is just so meh. Boring. Predictable.

When Parkmen got Noahs secret stash info and peter started flying there, I was going "well that's ****ing stupid, not only is Noah a devious bastard, but you really think that they wouldn't have some kind of cameras there?"

When Peter was holding the gun to the Hunters head and Nathan see's it, first thing that came to my mind "rofl hes gonna fly over there and the hunter is gonna be like Bwuh how'd you get here so fast?!"

I mean it's gotten to the point where its like, ya know, they need to really off someone from the main cast. Like, actually kill them, not kill them then give them claires blood and let them live again. I mean dead, dead, dead no coming back, buried in the ground, if they did come back it would be as a zombie. Cause right now it's just "rofl they're just gonna run around, run soem more, get together and have Peter give some boring speech about how its destiny, how "guys, we have to stop this. if its not us, then it will balh blah blah I DONT CARE".

They should of stuck with their original idea. Have an ever-revolving cast of characters. Hell, all the main characters except Hiro Peter and Claire were supposed to be dead at the end of season 1, with about 12 new characters including those three to start season 2.

 

[GL1]

Dead?!? I could buy storyline resolved, but certain characters would have made MUCH more sense to simply retire.

I don't think the idea was to have the cast a constant 'revolving door,' but to make each Volume its own story, that is, not just about these particular characters, but a whole world where this thing is happening. Volume 2 would have had 8-10 newbies, with some returns and guest starring roles for S1 characters. It would have been awesome. Alas.

But honestly, to me, its too late. Its Sylar and Peter's show now.

 

[Matt]

I'm personally beginning to wonder if there will be a volume 5. Heroes slipped below 7 million this week with only 6.9 million viewers
(which is less viewers than Heroes' writers strike replacement, My Dad is Better Than Your Dad got). NBC is clearly cutting back on their dramas by bringing in a Primetime Jay Leno...so my guess is one of the three monday night dramas will be cut. Chuck has 400,000 less viewers than Heroes, but Heroes is much more expensive to produce than Chuck. I wouldn't be overly suprised if NBC cut Heroes loose after Fugitives and tried moving Chuck to a different night (it is up against two of CBS' top rated sitcoms and dancing with the Stars. They might try something new with it in the fall. I think it would be a very good lead in for The Office and 30 Rock...but my guess is it may get a shot on Wednesday.

 

[SuperT]

A part of me is telling me they're going to scrap it, and another part is telling me their going to keep it. Either way, it doesn't look good and the writers have no one to blame but themselves.

I am completely in agreement with that statement. First the carbon copy of season one and wimping out on their own idea of bringing in new characters doomed season two... writer's strike not helping, then they try and go the opposite with volume three where continuity be damned and a lightening fast story that went absolutely nowhere... and now with volume four, they are doing a story way past the time of its relevance.

 

[GL1]

I think they know, somewhere in the back of their minds, that its too late to go back and try to do it right.

I think they're going to sell Bryan Fuller's involvement though to the execs, as a reason to keep them around for a promising fourth season.

Their word.... not ours.

Really. I just watched the newest episode and man are they trying hard to remind everyone how great season one was.... even though they want us to forget how Matt and Mohinder became friends and then how Mohinder hated HRG enough to shoot him.... just for a plot in this episode.

 

[SouLeSS]

Mohinder never hated HRG enough to shoot him. He[Mohinder] shot him[HRG] because he[HRG] was about to kill his[Mohinder] boss.

And the reason Matt and Mohinder were at odds is because Mohinder was told by HRG earlier that all this would happen and he didn't do anything about it.

 

[SuperT]

If they give it another season, I'm thinking it'll be shortened to maybe 12-13 episodes with a new head producer, probably Fuller if they are smart.
