Re: Non-cape tv show
Heroes... wow, haven't heard anyone talk about that one in a long time.
I've heard the 1st season was good and it fell off a cliff immediately after that. It was another one of those mystery box shows that teased a bunch of cool stuff coming that they never paid off properly because they didn't know what they were doing.

Heroes' decline is usually blamed on the 2008 writer's strike. Im sure that's just a symptom of many problems. Heroes was the only mystery box shitshow I ever followed but I was a kid when it came out and couldn't really tell you the decline.

Supposedly had Mormon themes in it. Anyways, it didn't last too long and had its own mythology. Not great by any means but not terrible and still unique and cool enough to be popular in reruns.
The new version was done by SyFy, which meant it was crap. Took a family friendly kiddie show into muh-serious land.
At least back then the cast of the original were shitting on the reboot when it was announced. (Richard Hatch changed his tune once he was hired on the reboot, though.) When they reboot something now, everyone either pretends the new one is great or don't say anything.

I remember everyone loving the Jap, because the salaryman angle in Japan at least felt like an anime. Of course, that only lasted the pilot.Liar Revealed wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 1:00 amHeroes... wow, haven't heard anyone talk about that one in a long time.

I heard "Save the cheerleader, save the world" just ended up being disappointing, as expected.
Is it too hard to just come up with more prophecies after you fulfill the first one? Isnt that the point of being/having an oracle?
...and still: Spoony did nothing.

The Prisoner was the only show that got away with disregarding its mystery boxes and just fucking off.

That's just their excuse.

Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

NBC turned Brave New World into a series starring one of the bitches from Downtown Abbey and completely changed everything to make it into an anti-Trump screed with a Mike Pence-like villain.

I feel like 1984 would be a better source material to bastardize into TDS: The Series.
