Heroes returns, but without Origins

HeroesAccording to Scifi Wire, the NBC show Heroes has been given a return date of September 15th of this year. However, the proposed spin-off series titled Heroes: Origins has been canceled before it was even broadcast.

As they have done with many shows, NBC plans to kick off the new season by showing a one-hour clip show. This will be followed by a two-hour season premiere. That's three hours of Heroes in one night. That's enough to cause a brain aneurysm for the more ardent Heroes fans.

While I'm excited for the third season (in which our protagonists will fight their equivalent of the Legion of Doom), I am sorry to hear that Origins was scrapped. They had some real talent behind that spin-off, including Kevin Smith, Eli Roth and Michael Dougherty.

This past season of Heroes wasn't as good as the first. This was partially, I believe, because of the "sophomore slump" that affects many series and partially because of the writers' strike. With that in mind and since the production team has had plenty of time to relax and think about it, I think the third season will be a significant step up.
