I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I think Heroes was better than 24 this week. And, like, by a pretty large margin as well. Even I’m surprised to say this, considering how lackluster this season has been, but this may have been their best finale yet. And truth be [...]

I want to thank those readers who commented on last week’s column and correctly pointed out to me that Parkman didn’t actually block Sylar’s abilities — he merely trapped him in his own subconscious, in a world in which he didn’t have abilities. Thanks for the info!
So next week is the season finale (the [...]

So I have to admit that I was initially going to hold off on watching Heroes until Tuesday, but I follow Greg Grunberg on Twitter and he kept posting Tweets and Re-Tweets about how incredible the episode was and my curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to plop down at midnight and [...]

So I’ll be honest, Heroes had a pretty uphill climb throughout the episode. I mean, the episode was pretty evenly split between Sylar finding himself (for the millionth time) and Hiro having delusions (literally, this time) of heroism and grandeur. Frequent readers must know by now that these are my two favorite subjects. [...]

So if any good has come out of the failed Jay Leno experiment and the next installment of the late night wars, it’s that it may have bought Heroes another season (for my thoughts on the Leno/Conan “war,” visit my blog). Of course, I guess that depends on your perspective and whether or not [...]

So was this the end of the volume? If so, talk about going out with a whimper. I don’t recall any hype leading to this finale – and if it was the last episode of this volume, with one exception, it really didn’t deliver a climatic conclusion.
That one exception, ironically enough, is the [...]

This might surprise some, but I honestly really don’t have anything critical to say about this week’s episode of Heroes. Indeed, despite the lack of action, it was one of the most focused episodes I’ve seen in quite some time. The three stories related to each other through a central theme, and the [...]

Before getting to this week’s episode, let’s revisit what should be known as “The Great Sylar Debate.” The big question we can’t seem to find a satisfying answer for: Did Sylar lose his powers at the conclusion of season one/beginning of season two, when he contracted the Shanti virus?
Most of the people who [...]

Long-time reader and contributor Creed left this comment in regards to last week’s episode:
Well said, though I think they are completely missing the boat with Ali Larter. Her original character had an interesting duality, though it became less interesting once the personality split was resolved, but Tracy is as interesting as a block of ice. [...]

If there was ever a “filler” episode of Heroes, this was it. However, “filler” is decidedly different from “stalling,” so I’ll chalk this up as the lesser of two evils. Normally episodes such as these are a necessary evil when it comes to properly pacing the season, however with such a large cast [...]

Even though there’s a decidedly snide tone to my reviews – and I do criticize the show a fair amount – I truly do enjoy Heroes. It’s not a flawless show, and the flaws tend to really get under my skin (mostly because many of them could be fixed so easily), but at the [...]

You gotta admire Peter….using the vulnerability of some girl who is confused about what’s happening to her in order to get a date.
That being said, I do love that the scenario that I’ve been waiting for has finally happened: Peter has a kick ass power, and accidentally loses it in favor of a significantly [...]

With this episode focusing mainly on the Hiro story arc, I can’t help but think about Charlie’s demise on Lost. More specifically, I’m wondering if Heroes will have the cajones to do what the ABC hit series did. For those of you unfamiliar with Lost, Charlie was a highly lovable, practically universally adored [...]

I forgot to mention this last week, but somebody should really inform Peter that there are plenty of Legal Seafood chains in New Jersey. So instead of needlessly running over two hundred miles, he really could have just taken a scenic twenty minute drive. But hey, who am I to judge?
I seem to [...]

Long-time readers will know that I’ve been a very loyal Heroes apologist. While everybody else has gone on and on about how the show is in critical condition and on the verge of cancelation, I’ve rightly noted that it’s still one of the highest rated shows on NBC (the network in, what, fourth place?) [...]

The Fall TV Season officially kicks off tonight, Monday, September 21, and that means all your favorite shows should be returning. If not, they will in January, unless they were canceled of course. But the new Fall season also means plenty of new shows that probably won’t last a season. With that in mind, a [...]

As a love story, it’s not quite “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” But the time-traveler’s crush is returning to “Heroes.”
NBC confirms that Jayma Mays, who played Charlie, the object of Hiro’s (Masi Oka) affection in the first season of Heroes, will reprise her role on the show this fall. Mays will also star in FOX’s Glee [...]

Oz and Ghostbusters actor Ernie Hudson will have a recurring role as a police officer on the upcoming season of Heroes.
Captain Lubbock (Hudson) is a Baltimore detective who’s hunting some of the characters on the show.

Here are the highlights of the Heroes Comic-Con panel:
- Zachary Quinto said this about one of his favorite scenes from the upcoming season. “I got to work with a baby. It was really fun. The baby was really good at crying.”
-The “exclusive first look at Redemption” included Peter Petrelli’s slow motion kung fu knife fight [...]

NBC had already announced that The Jay Leno Show would premiere a week before the official start of the 2009-10 TV season. The network will take its time rolling out the rest of the fall schedule, though.
Leno’s prime-time show will premiere Monday, Sept. 14 and run every weeknight at 10 ET. Two other nights of [...]
