December 28, 2008 by Demi · 2 Comments
This seems to be a bad habit of mine, but I got caught up with a lot of holiday related things and didn’t get this podcast out in time. My apologizes to our listeners!
This week we cover the the highly anticipated Volume Three finale entitled, “Dual”.
Some things we cover:
- Engee returns to host an ENTIRE episode!
- Sylar as Jigsaw?
- Ando: Ultimate Sidekick
- Daphne…Supergirl?
- Voicemail: Marshal from Toronto.
- and much more…
Sorry again for the lateness. Look out for our interview with David H. Lawrence in the coming week.

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)!

This week is the long awaited Halloween Special!

Of course, since there was an episode we do discuss it and this podcast covers the events that took place in Eris Quod Sum, Episode 307 of Heroes.

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.

Two New Actors Joining Heroes in Volume Four: Fugitives
October 26, 2008 by Demi · Leave a Comment
Looks as though two more actors have been cast for the upcoming “Fugitives” storyline.
Michael Ausiello from EW.com reports that Dan Byrd from Aliens in America will be cast as David, a teen with a bad streak:
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Byrd has been cast on Heroes in the recurring role of David, a dark and twisted kid who tells lies easily and has a cruel streak. Word is he’ll be a possible apprentice to Sylar (Zachary Quinto).
EOnline confirmed that Emmy Winner Zeljko Ivanek of Damages has been tagged to join the cast as a mysterious new character named “The Hunter”. Kristen Dos Santos says:
According to insiders, the Hunter’s first appearance is in episode 14, which kicks off Volume Four: Fugitives. (Heroes creator Tim Kring is writing the Fugitives premiere!)
Am I the only one that instantly thought of Kraven on that second one? And what’s with creating a new character that sounds and looks similar to West?
Ivanek is a very impressive actor though (He has many acting credits to his name, the least of which includes literally getting hit by a bus on Lost), so the talent seems to be stepping up throughout this third season, unfortunately the Sprint product placement will probably compensate in order to pay for such talent.
