It's Official, Heroes Is Cancelled
May. 14th, 2010 10:31 pmNBC has finally snuffed "Heroes," joining "Legend of the Seeker," "FlashForward," "Scrubs," the original "Law and Order," and a bunch of other crappy shows you'd never heard of in this year's mass grave of cancellation.
Rumors of the show's imminent demise persisted for months and the season finale left things open. Supposedly there may be t.v. movie or miniseries to wrap up the story. We'll see if it actually happens. Reports that a loud, "Yahoooo!" coming from the home of Zachary "Sylar" Quinto are unconfirmed.
Seriously though, now that he's free from the show's contract he can focus on parlaying his higher profile thanks to Star Trek into a film career. As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darth_pipes told me, Greg Grunberg will have a job as long as JJ Adams can cast him in something. But most of the rest of the cast can enjoy their ride into obscurity.
So, no more Hall H presentations at Comic Con. Ah well.
The show was really good during Season One but it was as though they didn't know what to do with the show afterwards. I thought originally that once the characters recognized what their powers were, they would be able to go out and do heroic things, like foil terrorists or stop meteors from smashing into Chicago. Instead it became this big and dense mythology that just wasn't as well-written as another show with a big and dense mythology, "Lost." Most of the characters on "Lost" were far more compelling. Hiro was a guy to cheer for at first but he just became an idiot. Mohinder was supposed to be a genius, but he kept doing dumb stuff. Claire became annoying and that stupid faux lesbian crap with her roomie Gretchen just reeked of desperation. I came to hate all of the Petrellis. The only intriguing characters were Claire's dad and Sylar. The show kept adding all of these characters and they contributed very little. I kept watching mostly out of habit but I haven't really enjoyed the show in years. I'd read or surf the net while it was on in the background.
