I have many fears for Heroes. OK, just one fear, that Season Three will continue that deep fall into that deep dark abyss, causing Hiro and Co. to never return. Having said that, this most recent news has me excited! Heroes Fanatic reports.
“We consciously chose to rest [Heroes] this spring so that [creator] Tim Kring and his team could get ahead of the creative and build up to a massive event–a three-hour Heroes night,” Silverman said during the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on April 2. “On Monday, Sept. 15, we’ll kick off with a Heroes clip show to try to bring back the audience and [then air] a massive two-hour Heroes film.”
Holy Crap! This has me excited! Not so much with the clip show because clip shows blow chunks, but a two hour film! Ok, so it’s really a two-hour episode dressed as a film, but who cares about technicalities?
I wonder if this will be enough to spark some interest for those who have lost it. Truth be told, I honestly don’t think the show’s writers have completely learned their lessons, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter because if they don’t win over the doubting viewers, and even lose some in the process, nothing will save it. Ok, maybe that sentence is a bit meladramatic, but in all honestly, Season Three is possibly there last chance to prove it’s potential.

Nice. I’m eager to see what comes next season. Volume 2 wasn’t as horrible as most people make it out to be, it just missed in a few spots. They were big spots, mind you, but they didn’t completely ruin the season.
This is an AWESOME idea, and will do many a wonderful thing, bringing fans back to Heroes. I can’t wait.
