After watching the videos of the Heroes soundtrack, we thought everyone would give it five stars. Well, different strokes for different folks: Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly thought otherwise. Here’s the review:
Not unlike the superhero drama, the Heroes soundtrack swirls the familiar (classic Dylan and Bowie cuts) with the unknown (new tunes by Wendy & Lisa, who do the series’ incidental music). ”All Things Must Pass,” the first studio recording since 1998 by the Jesus and Mary Chain, may seem like the marquee attraction, but the group has mellowed too much with age. Focus instead on tasty exclusives from Imogen Heap, Wilco, and Yerba Buena, whose ”Maya’s Theme” transforms, Clark Kent-style, from an atmospheric slow jam into an Afro-Cuban throwdown.
Not too bad.

Is she or isn’t she? News around the blogosphere is saying that Kristin Bell has not yet signed on for Heroes Season 3. However recent events are saying that this is being taken care off and it seems we might see her again. This was confirmed by E! Online’s Kristin:
“I have it on good authority that Elle is very much a part of the writers’ grand plan for season three.(Fear not: Kring loves her just as much as we do!) So, if there is a holdup, I assure you it is more on the business (rather than creative) side of things, and there is still time to get this worked out before they go back into production. Oh, and by the by, we might not see much of Claire-bear in the first episode or two. Hayden P told us at her Candies soiree that production is “gearing up in April and I’ll be joining them in May when I come back from shooting I Love You, Beth Cooper in Vancouver.”
Next question would be is she coming in as a villain or a hero? We’ll see most likely around May or June 2008.

But Kring wasn’t calling to discuss labor woes he was calling to explain why Heroes, suffering a creative decline
Heroes is an American science fiction serial drama television series created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006.The series tells the stories of ordinary individuals who discover that they have superhuman abilities. It also explores how they adapt to the changes these abilities bring, and their roles in preventing catastrophes and saving humanity.
With labor troubles, a shrinking audience and no new hit shows in sight, network television is suffering one of its worst seasons ever. And the tough times show no signs of easing soon – bad news for viewers of the broadcasting giants. Signaling the sense of network urgency, NBC will break with tradition and announce today a new year-round lineup of programs.
You may not get college credits, but you will get an invaluable degree in ABC TV Dramas. Since the writers’ strike shut down production late last year, it’s been many months since we last saw new episodes of our favorite ABC shows (with the exception of Lost).
Worried you forgot what happened so far this season? ABC has a solution….

When we reported that the one of the two new characters, Joy, last month, we knew she was going to start as a baddie.
This was confirmed by E!Online:
Look for a new villain named Joy. Her power is superspeed she’s lightning-fast, like the Flash. Hiro meets her in a museum. He asks her if she has powers and if she is trying to steal some art. She convinces him she’s on the up-and-up and then makes off with a bunch of paintings. She’s described as a nymph-like character with the speed of a cheetah on, er, speed.
My problem with this is that Hiro could stop her on her tracks unless she decks him first. Is she a possible Hero or a shoe-in Villain? Will see once the season opens.

When we posted a few days ago that Heroes would be casting a new character next season, we never thought she’d look as cute as Brea Grant.
The actress will be playing the role of Joy. If you haven’t heard her name before, she’s the girl in Friday Nights Lights.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the enchanting Brea Grant who made quite the impression as Landry’s short-lived rebound girl on Friday Night Lights is joining the cast of Heroes next season as The Speedster.

For the news reporting part, they will be casting for a reporter #1 and a reporter #2. Same as the character Jesse, the age range will be from 28-38, any gender and ethnicity. Determined new reporters are expected and the setting will be in Odessa, Texas. With a news reporter, they will have to report the news to a news commentator (must be a real commotion on the streets). He or she must be 32 to 45 years old, any ethnicity. He or she will be a TV news anchor on a national news program. Looks like episode one of season three will be really big, it will even be on the news.
