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.

They will be needing eight new characters to be played in the first episode of season three of Heroes. They are in search mostly for people in the medical field and into news reporting (sounds like a commotion on the streets, do I hear ambulance sirens and news reporters all over?), but one who seems to be a major role, lucky is the person who gets cast in as Jesse. The Jesse is expected to be around 28-38 year old male with an intense temper. He could be violent, cruel and mean-looking (maybe he will be an antagonist?), and he will be frequently seen in other episodes.

So, NBC announced its TV schedule for the next year and, unfortunately, there wasn’t anything really gay on the schedule. (Our sister site has reasons to be hopeful for Knight Rider, however.)

One bit of bad news is that the Heroes spin-off, Origins, is dead. I was looking forward to the spin-off, which had recruited some big names to direct episodes, including Kevin Smith.

nullSome of the greatest science fiction TV shows of all time have vanished, almost without a trace. They don’t get DVDs or listed in articles on the “Top 50 Science Fiction Shows of All Time.” Despite achieving true greatness, they don’t even get as much praise or critical attention as Alf. Here’s our countdown of the ten greatest unappreciated masterpieces of science fiction television.

nullA few months ago, Kristine Bells character was unsure if she’ll be coming back next season. Bell wants to come back for another run, but itseems negotiations are still on going.

Here’s an excerpt of her interview with Movies Online:

MoviesOnline: Did the writers strike shorten your Heroes arc? Was there more we would have seen?

KRISTEN BELL: Yes and there’s more that you will see. It interrupted my Heroes arc.

MoviesOnline: The rumor is that you weren’t coming back.

KRISTEN BELL: If I don’t come back, it will be because we didn’t work it out. I want to go back. As far as I’m concerned, I am going back. I’m not under contract but I’ve had such a good relationship with them and I’ve had so much fun doing it and had such a great storyline and I’ve shot two episodes that won’t air until we shoot the entire arc. I did take a movie unfortunately because I’m not under contract with them in New York for 12 weeks. So I’ll be about 4 weeks late coming back to when they shoot but as of right now the negotiation that’s going on is that they’ll be able to file my scenes in and I’ll just shoot a condensed version right when I get back and then catch up to everyone else and they don’t air until September so they have the ability to do that.

Well, it seems that her character’s new power is flying, because her role in Heroes is still up in the air.

Every year during the month of May, each of the major networks delivers their Upfront Presentations to advertisers and reporters. These events usually offer loads of entertainment as each network attempts to overshadow their competitors. NBC decided to do things a little different this year and skipped the usual fanfare by getting right to the heart of the matter by presenting an “In front” for the advertisers.

Premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter’s vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ”We took too long to get to the big-picture story,” he says.
