The MSJ posted:Adrian Pasdar eventually became one of the best side characters on SHIELD, so it all ends up alright. Very true. He does need more screen time, though. 4000 Dollar Suit posted:oh my god I totally forgot about that nugget As you should have. Remembering it seems to be my curse to bear.

Then the season finale happened and lol...

I remember season 3 briefly became good again when Bryan Fuller came back for like 4 episodes where Zeljko Ivanek was playing a bounty hunter, but then Fuller left yet again and of course it quickly went to poo poo yet again. I literally remember nothing about season 4. But I remember season 5 had Robert Knepper all like "HAHA I HAVE THIS BIG PLAN WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE IT HAPPEN" and then nothing happened because his plan was foiled and that was it.

Heroes also could not stop itself from going back to the “person with vision of future sees apocalypse and must prevent it” well, to the point where they kept introducing more dudes who could paint/see the future, or having existing characters gain the power temporarily for ~reasons~

Season 2 also introduced a young girl with Taskmaster's power who didn't really use her power except once near the end of the season and I'm pretty sure didn't connect to the main plot in any way at all and then she just never showed up again with no explanation, not even a passing "She went back to her home planet" line.

STAC Goat posted:Why are you guys making me remember Heroes? Waaaaaaaaaaay back on page 173 someone mentioned Heroes Reborn as Inhumans news was coming out and then someone kept bringing it up throughout the thread. counterfeitsaint posted:I hope they really push the limited run tv mini series thing, and then it turns out it ends on like a giant cliffhanger. The MSJ posted:Kinda like Heroes Reborn. They said they have no plans for another season, then the series ended with a tease for another season. Gorilla Salad posted:They didn't even have a plan for the season which aired. hamsystem posted:I can tolerate some pretty terrible TV and even I bailed on Heroes Reborn after the second episode. Blazing Ownager posted:Heroes Reborn was AAA amazing television compared to peak poo poo Heroes, like Season 3. (Season 2 was loving terrible but mostly boring and slow, Season 3 was 'Make up new dumb poo poo every 20 seconds') And it just kinda kept trotting along.

Blazing Ownager posted:ED: I will say the interviews with Bryan Singer from his brief return and the other writers on Heroes are loving amazing. The most dysfunctional poo poo ever going on there (Singer left during the writer's strike with the rest of the team and they got terrible people to replace them after the strike). But long story short, Tim Kring is a moron who likes people to "make up stuff on the fly," and actively encouraged each writer to try to gently caress up the story and put the next writer that had to continue it in a corner. This combination and the fact this turned the writing room into a battle ground was just fascinating. You mean Bryan Fuller, not Singer. The one who doesn't molest young boys. I think he left to do Pushing Daisies and returned briefly once that was over, basically took one look at what he'd come back to and went, "Nope, actually I'm good." It's a bit too easy to play the "Remember something stupid that happened on Heroes" game, e.g. Remember Nathan's wife and kids? Well, that's good, because the writers certainly didn't!

If anyone haven't read about it yet, that New Warriors series featuring Squirrel Girl is not going to be on Freeform anymore. Despite doing very good in test screenings, Marvel or Disney thinks it's not suitable for the Freeform demographic or something. No channel or streaming service have been announced for it yet.

No, Freeform said they didn't have room to air it until later and Marvel wants to get it out ASAP because of it testing so well.

Dexo posted:Matt Parkman with a wife and kid falling in love with Daphne a woman at least 15-20 years younger than he is and in some flashforward or future having a child with her. Oh that was so loving awkward the entire time. Neither actor look comfortable with it either. The guy who plays Parkman seems like a nice guy, and you could tell he did NOT want to go there. Not one of the millions of total plot train wrecks that show had, just... uncomfortable and not only that, it had that fun syndrome where it makes the previous season feel like a complete waste since he's just dumped anyway.

There's so many what the fucks in that show I could probably write a book of nothing but going on about how loving insanely bad the writing was. My favorite stuff was what they kept doing to Sylar every other episode with no idea what they wanted to do with him. He spent an entire season with absolutely no powers whatsoever and is an evil crazy gently caress who still murders people, then suddenly no, it's the powers that made him an evil crazy gently caress because of THE HUNNNNGER but wait no he totally can control his powers and not be an evil crazy gently caress but wait there's an event that takes his powers away for a few hours and he's not an evil crazy gently caress but then it's over and he immediately murders his girlfriend because now he's a crazy evil gently caress again but wait Parkman sends him a mental prison thing for an hour and now he's not an evil crazy gently caress anymore I guess he's a hero now the end If that sounds like the gibberings of a mad man blame Tim Kring not me

Like purposefully end in corners you can't write your way out of and let the next person come up with a CRAZY TWIST to save the day. The way I understand it from one of the interviews of Adrian Pasdar or Zachary Quinto is that they literally filmed the later seasons twice. After the writer's strike, the majority of the original staff vacated for sunnier climes and NBC was left with a group of people who were fans of the show (which is really not the writing staff you want). Each writer would have their own particular favorite character and the writers didn't communicate plot points or try to mesh things up like a normal writer's room operated. NBC threw money at the problem (since Season 2 was still extremely popular for the time, and the wheels didn't fall off until late Season 3) so that they could rewrite scripts and refilm episodes in order to mesh into some coherent storyline. This continued until the final season when Bryan Fuller was suckered back into the NBC writer's room after Pushing Daisies was cancelled.
