5 Ways to Fix ‘Heroes’

Hey guys, TotallyNotNick here. If you listen to Geekeasy, you’re probably aware of how strongly I disliked Volume Three of Heroes. But that doesn’t mean I won’t watch Volume Four; I’m a very forgiving geek and I’m willing to give Tim Kring’s bumbling superhero saga another chance, mostly because the show is now going to have Bryan Fuller as a staff writer. However, if I ran Heroes, here’s what I would do to revive this once mighty series.

Tim Kring Speaks Out About Heroes!

At the recent Screenwriting Expo, Tim Kring spoke to fans about Heroes and his creative process. Here are a few excerpts…

“The problem is you run into a whole series of issues, where show and business run into each other. The network falls in love with characters, the audience falls in love with characters, the press falls in love with characters. And it’s contractually hard to get people onboard for a brief period. You find yourself writing for characters you thought would be gone.”

Fuller to Return to ‘Heroes’

When Heroes wrter/producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander, it was clear that showrunner Tim Kring was ready to make some changes. Fans everywhere seem to all agree that a return to the series’ first season level of quality is desperately needed. But for the first time, it almost looks possible.

Bryan Fuller is responsible for two of the best episodes of Season One, most notably “Company Man”, and may be exactly what Heroes needs to get back on track. Fuller has a nack for creating cult favorites, having done so with the Showtime series Dead Like Me (though he left due to disagreements with the show’s drection), Wonderfalls (one of Fox’s many series to be sent off to die far to early), and most recently ABC’s Pushing Daisies.

Now, while this could only mean good things for Heroes, it may spell certain doom for current series Pushing Daisies which has been struggling in the ratings department ever since returning this season post-writers strike. Is Fuller taking a position with Heroes because he knows that Daisies is nearing cancelation? Or is he hoping to balance his efforts as showrunner and writer/producer? I don’t have the answer, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out soon enough.
