So, the next season does not start until September, but I thought it would be better to start a thread just for that (similar to the Lost threads) for information about it.
I was looking forward to Origins, but the reasoning behind it being canceled make sense to me:
Heroes Returns; Origins Dies
Heroes will return to NBC on Sept. 15 with an expanded third-season opener, but network executives confirmed that the proposed prequel spinoff, Heroes: Origins, is officially dead.
"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," Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, 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."
Silverman also explained why the heavily hyped, much-anticipated Heroes: Origins was scrapped. The show was originally conceived to help eliminate Heroes repeats, and directors and writers--including feature-film vets Kevin Smith, Eli Roth and Michael Dougherty--were already lined up before NBC dropped the idea.
"We were taxing our creative team to do too much around that," Silverman said. "We wanted 35 Heroes [episodes] and 12 Heroes: Origins, each of which was supposed to be a mini-movie and backdoor pilot. We reached far and challenged our people, and we decided it was better to focus on keeping the Heroes mothership as strong as possible."
I have a bad feeling about this show. "In like a lion, out like a lamb" comes to mind. All the people I know who adored the first season, even with it's flaws, have now discontinued watching this show.
I'll buy the second season DVD, which will probably be released around the beginning of August.
Well I wonder what will threaten "the world" this season. They stopped a bomb and destroyed a virus; eventually they are going to run out of reasons to "save the world."
I rewatched the second season this week with Eric who hadn't seen it and realized that Sylar gets on my nerves. Overdramatic acting I think. :/

Yeah, I'm gonna give the new season a few episodes and see how it goes, but if there isn't a big improvement I can't see myself lasting through another whole season.

I Disagree, refer to a show called "24".
There is ALWAYS something that can threaten the world, and when you have people with super abilities it gets even easier to come up with them.

Yeah, all they need to do is use warmongering republicans as idea men. They're always finding fake reasons to go to war. They're some creative minds there. AMIRITE?
