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.

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.

A 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.

Good news for all Heroes fans: the super hero TV series has been renewed for a fourth season according to a statement from Angela Bromstad, NBC’s entertainment president.
According to the statement, NBC plans to renew Heroes for another season that will span anywhere from 18-20 episodes. This may be due to lower rating compared to previous seasons. However, the unorthodox super hero TV series remains to be one the network’s highest rated series among adult viewers aged 18-49.
NBC is also trying to capitalize on Heroes’ international popularity, as Bromstad acknowledges the good performance of the show in other countries. Futhermore, Bromstad also says that the network will not be shutting Heroes down – not yet at least – with season 4. This is due to the clamor for some for an end date to be set, similar to what was done in Battlestar Galactica.
The current season has been running since last year with the plot thickening for our select main characters. As they have found out, there are many other out there in the world, some good, some bad with most just wishing to forget about their abilities and live normal lives. Our heroes will never get rest fro the amount of information known about them is simply too great for them to forget so easily. They are fighting friends and establishing alliances with previous foes, as the twisting and turning of the plot takes all of us to a clearer understanding of how they really got their powers.
Mohinder, the genius scientist who tries to help these people afflicted by their curse tries to find a cure to reverse their powers art first ending up as one of the pawns of deception to capture them. The new season is to bring more intrigue and would be bringing out more questions than answers as before. These humans with superpowers might be the only hope of the world against those who seek to destroy all others like them and even end up killing us all. At the back of all that, the menace Sylar who seeks to gain all the powers of the mutants to possess as his own, pops out from nowhere time and time again as the saga continues in the lives of our heroes.

Heroes is really going down. It is now time to make the move before it is too late. For the last few months, the previously strong viewers getter has sunk to its all time low. Its undeniable that Heroes requires some fixing. The series has recently added the former Everwood actor, Justin Baldoni to beef up its cast. But the truth is, the problem is not with its cast. In this regard, Heroes creator, Tim Kring is going back to drawing board. This time he promises to make the Heroes story lines simpler as the latest trend dictates. It is to note that Kiring is undertaking a major overhaul of the entire series in the wake of the recent termination of his two right-hand collaborators.
