Heroes: Origins

[thebitterguy]

This is interesting. Apparently Heroes will be having a miniseries while it's on hiatus called Heroes: Origins. The show will feature new characters, and net votes will select which of the focused characters will join the cast of the main show the next year. Now, it doesn't specify, but that's likely to be during a mid season hiatus, so if the new characters join the show they'll be joining in season 3.

Good to see they're planning ahead.

Now that's just cool.

Indeed. I hope the internet vote doesn't backfire on them, but it's a very neat idea for keeping the audience's attention during hiatus.

Online voting will pick the winner? I'd like to see one of the characters wear nothing but comics-related schwag and see if that influences the voting :)

Hopefully it'll be more dignified than Who Wants to be a Superhero?

Hopefully they introduce a female character I can actually like. -_-; I'm kind of tired of The Cheerleader Show. I'm secretly hoping that the illusions girl is a big fattie and they keep her on as an interesting character.

It certainly sounds like the illusion girl is a stout lass from her dialogue last night.

I agree. Once revealed, she's going to be very large, and very unattractive. If I could turn myself into Fight Club era Brad Pitt and still eat like a pig, I probably would.

Damn, I got rid of my Fight Club icon, which would've been perfect for this.

True, true. Of course, if someone could REALLY do that, that would be a superpower too.

Well, at least I now know why they've decided to axe CROSSING JORDAN. :(

That article did not mention Crossing Jordan.
