November 24, 2008 by Demi · Leave a Comment
We know its been a while, but due to some diplomatic and technical difficulties, we were unable to bring you our discussion of episode 308: “Villains”.
However, we are back with our thoughts on episode 309 entitled “It’s Coming” (no pun intended).
Some things covered:
- Status of the show during Thanksgiving
- The return of Heroes Unreal Tournament
- Hiro’s Blast to the Past
- Sylar’s empathetic experience with Elle
- Father and son reunion
- Mohinder…Dr. Frankenstein?
- Did this episode mark the “jumping the shark”?
All this and more (including a special guest host)!

Staff Changes For The Company
November 21, 2008 by Demi · 4 Comments
Due to recent developments, Engee has decided it best to leave his current position on The Company Podcast. While both the extent and length of this hiatus is unknown, Engee has taken his leave from the podcast effectively immediately.
As of this moment, there have been no talks regarding a replacement host, but it is possible that guests hosts could be brought in to fill guest roles, both from the Heroes fanbase, and friends of The Company.
We here at The Company appreciate all the work that Engee has put into the podcast, and hope that despite recent happenings, that there will soon be no hard feelings towards the working relationship we had as a podcast.
Engee will retain posting privileges as both a “Host” on the Farpoint Media Forums and The Company website, so he will be able to comment on these developments as he so chooses.
Engee will always be welcome here at The Company, and we still consider him a member of the family. We are also open to his return to the show if some of the issues causing this separation were remedied.
We wish him the best.
-The Company

Some things covered:
- The amazing three hour episode of Deal or No Deal (hint: it doesn’t exist)
- Major Heroes News and Rumors including the recent firings of Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander, who might come on board to replace them?
- What Season 3 is doing right.

Special Edition #03: Exclusive Interview with Jimmy Jean-Louis
November 6, 2008 by Demi · Leave a Comment
We are proud to bring you another great interview. This week we’ve got Jimmy Jean-Louis, who plays the Haitian on the show.
Jimmy is awesome and we’ve done an interview with him before, so if you’d like to hear our first interview where we discussed his work on Seasons 1 and 2 as well as how he got the part of The Haitian, check it out here.
We talk with Jimmy about a lot of things including:
- What was it like to come back to Heroes after the Strike?
- How is it to have all the new people on board? Was it nice to finally work with another Haitian?
- Heroes in Haiti, how many episodes and what seemingly out of place characters pop up in Haiti?
- Will we see some of The Haitian’s family, and if so, will there be anything “special” about them?
- Jimmy shares with us his thoughts on Brea Grant, who we interviewed earlier.
- Thoughts on every Haitian’s favorite sport: Football! (Soccer for you Americans :-P)
- We discuss some of Jimmy’s other non-Heroes projects including:
- Jimmy’s new non-profit organization to aide a Haiti in Crisis.
- and much more!
Hope you enjoy! Be sure to check out Jimmy’s website for information on his other projects and his non-profit, “Hollywood Unites for Haiti”.

PS:
This is the picture we mention and the one Jimmy says is a good representation of a possible Jimmy Jean-Louis/Black Panther.
This interview was recorded on Thursday, October 30, 2008.

NBC Fires Two “Heroes” Executive Producers
November 2, 2008 by Demi · Leave a Comment
Variety is reporting that NBC fired Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb, two of the most notable members of the Heroes staff, on Sunday.
The two have been heavily involved with the show since its first season taking on daily showrunning tasks for series creator Tim Kring.
It is believed that the reason for the firings is due to a lack of satisfaction with the two by NBC regarding the creative direction of the show and the recent tendency to go over-budget despite slipping ratings.
First the drop in ratings, and now this? Is this showing the end of the line for Heroes or a new beginning?
One thing is for sure:
This does not look bright to fans or advertisers.
