Heroes Reborn in 2015



Heroes Reborn


It was definitely one of my favorite shows back in '06-10', and it was definitely one of the most original shows. It was a fascinating story that always made me think--it had unique, engaging, and human characters that really gained a wide audience. Sadly, it was cancelled in 2010 after season four. Even though it shouldn't have ended at all, it ended with a lot of hope and renewal. With four seasons under its belt, it was cancelled  on the fans. Heroes still has a big following though one with conflicting feelings--fans can rejoice, Heroes is coming back. 
And though I find issue with the unspoken of details, I'm very excited about it. 



Heroes is coming back

Well, a variation of it anyways. NBC announced that they've ordered 13 more episodes under a new-ish name, Heroes Reborn, and it will air in 2015.


There’s no guarantee that we’ll see our favorites from the original series; no Peter, no Hiro and no Sylar have been announced. It is a standalone; a new story that follows the mythology of the original show. Other than that we don't know much about it. 

The reality of the show seems so far away and a little grim--it will be coming out in 2015 (yay), and there is no guarantee we'll see our old favorites (boo), but the most important information though, the creator, Tim Kring, is on board as executive producer. With Kring on board this is promising to be great. 




“The enormous impact ‘Heroes’ had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening,” said NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke. “Shows with that kind of resonance don’t come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. We’re thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept. Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.” (NBC Universal, 2014)

!!! FAN EXPO 2012 !!!!

The third largest fan gathering in North America. 

Fan expo was this last weekend, August 24-26. Fan expo is *for those few who don't know* is a gathering of fans from horror, comic, Sci-fi, Anime and Gaming. Basically a gathering of nerds and costumers, alike. They had authors, actors, amazing vendors, Xbox, the space channel was there. 
Fan expo is in its 18th year, and has grown in numbers. It features of 700 exhibitors and well known, and up-and-coming actors, authors and TV/internet personalities.

This was my first year at fan expo, I stayed for Saturday, which needless to say wasn't enough. There was so much to do, and so much to buy. My mom, brother and sister, and I went. We each got to meet Chris Sarandon, who is most known for his voice acting of Jack Skellington. My sister got his autograph which was really cool. As you all know, I love to read. LOVE to read. So going to fan expo was awesome in the way of that, they had publishing booths and seminars. Kelly Armstrong was there, Lesley Livingston, also I met a brand new author Marie Bilodeau who I love. I hadn't heard of her before fan expo. 

I loved being there, the convention center is huge, the food is WAY overpriced, it would be completely impossible to have enough money there. By that I mean there is are many vendors and books, and movies, and actors that I wanted to meet, get my photograph with, and get their autograph, I don't think there is any amount of money that you would be %100 satisfied with. 

Saying that, even though my family and I did not have a lot of money we still had a blast. Fan expo isn't just limited to one genre, it has four. It is huge. It was awesome. 

This is defintely something you must do before you die. Have you heard of Revolution? It is the new CityTV program that airs September 17th. CityTV was there handing out posters for the cast to sign, the wait was long but worth. I have to say that it looks really good and I'll be trying to catch it.
