I've been downloading the torrents and have been in formed that heroes isn't back on until April.

Just wanted to know whats happening up there in the US, like is there a new TV show or something.

thanks

Mostly it’s a math problem- like one of those seventh grade “word problems” that you thought would never matter. In July of last year we began filming HEROES. It takes eight days to complete filming of every episode (actually it takes much longer - more like ten to twelve days - but any episode which shoots over eight days we complete with simultaneous units – meaning, most of the time, we have two complete film crews shooting at the same time.)

Now that means eight “working days” so depending on how the weekends fall it takes 10 to 12 calendar days to complete filming of an episode. It also takes a minimum of 4 weeks to complete post production of each episode – including picture editing, visual effects, music, sound mixing and color timing.

On September 25th we aired the first episode. At that time we already had 5 and a half episodes in the can. But from that point on, every 7 days a new episode airs. The math of 7 days between airings and twelve days between completing episodes catches up to us pretty quickly. By November we were in a situation where we couldn’t get any more episodes on the air.

Combine that with the fact that, from a network point of view, December is a slow TV-watching month. We design in a hiatus in December. Because the cast and crew take a two week break around Christmas (so we don’t die of exhaustion) the same phenomenon happens now, in early March.

Thanks for that dude. So this means it's not the end of the season?

Yea news to me I figured they would do one big season, but it looks like another will follow. Very cool I enjoy this show. Its kind reminds me of X-men but in "real" life.

[naruto]

yeah same here always was a fan of X-MEN. Awesome special effects too. I'm just wondering isn't 18 episodes too short for a season?

Thanks for the info dude

Funny response

We will do 23 this year. We will do 22 or 23 next year. After that it’s all about ratings. If our ratings stay strong we’ll live to see five years or more. No one can predict that far ahead right now. (Except maybe Isaac.)

ROFL....Thanks heaps for the info. Guess it's gonna be a loooong boring wait.

[naruto]

Wooo It's back yet to watch it but as the Great BIG KEV would say I'm excited!

Great episode last night for its return.

Has went the way of Xmen 3. But it's alright, cause it's doing a much better job!!! There should be a heroes movie!!! or 2hr episode at least.

All day today the Sci Fi channel is playing all episodes back to back !

Been catching up on the one's I missed.

Here its on Moday nights, Sci Fi rebroadcasts them on Friday.
Which is nice if you miss one or just want to see it again.

Oh, I like it too

I love that show! I can't wait for Monday. I believe it's the last episode of the season. It's getting better and better.

ok.. not related but why does BrodyP post in the first person plural here about the making of the show?
Are you quoting from something or are you talking first hand?

It doesn't look like he's dead. Did you see the part where there was a trail of blood leading to the sewers?
