As most of us know, Volume 2 was heavily criticized by the fans and Tim Kring even apologized vowing to make the end of Volume 2 better and promised that Volume 3 will be even better. Thus, leading to script re-writes and also a alternate ending because of the strike allowing for Sylar to return.
What was Changed During Volume 2:
NOTE: These changes occurred for various reasons1) Kristen Bell was originally suppose to be in 8 episodes and then killed off but due to fan support they are keeping her around for a bit longer
2) Elle was setup as a Bob’s step daughter and the daughter of Meredith which in turn would have been Claire’s SISTER but they dropped it due to lack of storyline and plot holes.
3) Stephen Tobolowsky (Bob) also had a slightly different story, he was supposed to be more evil then he is now and even recruited his SON WEST to make Claire turn against her father this was dropped early in Volume 2 for “various reasons”.
Wow, so Claire was going to be Elle’s sister as Kristen Bell almost leaked when she was signed on to the cast and I never saw that West would be Bob’s Son, but it did feel like he was sent to watch Claire early on. Also, it did feel like Bob was planned to be this big EVIL character and then they backed off.
Ok now for what many of you want to know….the current direction for Vol. 3…please keep in mind nothing has been written and all of this is the “current” plan the writers have for the show. There is plenty of things that can change between now and well….whenever the show returns.
=========================
Spoilers Below
=========================
The Current Plan for Volume 3:
1) Ali Larter will return to the show (as Kristin at E!Online has already reported) but are planning to wrap up her storyline up in Volume 3. (editor’s note: Also, there are rumors floating around that Ali Larter’s evil alter ego Jessica will be a part of the Volume and not Niki.)
2) Micah’s storyline will end also
3) David Anders (Adam) will return and will meet a new friend
4) Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) well thats it up to the fans and he “might be back so don’t worry.”
5) Zachary Quinto (Sylar) will be more bad ass then ever and when we come back he will kill a star on the show
6) Villains is the start of something bigger for Heroes and hopefully it will be more fast pace than Generations (Volume 2).
or of darker storylines for the Superhero genre so it is good to hear that Adam and Sylar will be back terrorizing the Heroes.

Volume 2 wasn’t as bad as everyone is making out, and Volume 3 sounds cool, Hope hey bring Nathan back though. Only thing that i thought could have been better was when people were killed, no one seemed to die from someone elses power, most deaths have been by guns, or a fire in nikkis case. Also the guy who shot Nathan is hopefully a new villain, that will either kill sylar or adam.
And one last thing we need plenty more Peter fight scenes lol they are the best
I didn’t think volume 2 was too bad either, but it didnt seem like it had the same magnitude and intensity of volume one. I definitely think they’ll bring Nathan back – possibly because of him being able to regenerate from Adam’s blood (given to him by Peter and Adam when they escaped earlier in the season). Either way I really hope he and Nikki will be back because I really like their characters.
if they revive nathan n niki theres absolutely no point of making that 2nd volume lol. niki should stay dead. nathan should be revived. sylar should kill elle! micah should teach monica
They shouldnt remove Elle, shes dope. She likes to hear she’s a Hero, maybe she turns to the good side. I would like to see a good hero with cool offensive powers.
And give us more fighting please, the Adam + Peter fightingscene in the Primatech hallway >>>>> the other fighting scenes
Why didn’t they killed Mohinder:S. That guys is getting on my nerves. As much as I hate to admit, Niki shouln’t be back. I love her character, but she doesn’t seem to have a place in the series anymore. As they said, “they’ve done everything they could with Niki”.
And Nathan, I like him, but I don’t know if he should be back or not…
As for Adam…I don’t like him, but I want him to be back and then killed in a proper way! I mean, he will be buried alive for all eternity. Not even Sylar deserves that. If I was Hiro I would have stopped time and stab him in the head with the sword. I didn’t thought Hiro could be that…bad ass.
Sylar is back! Yessss!
And, you’re right. Season 2 was great, and everybody wants to make it look bad. I certainly like this one better than season 1, because season 1 moved to slow, while this one moved in a good pace.
Elle! Kristen Bell is pretty, so I forgive them to for killing Niki! It would have been cool if Elle was Claire’s siter, anyway, I hope he character becomes more and more deep in Villains.
Maya is ok…
So, when I saw Powerless’ announce, when they told 2 Heroes Will Fall, I knew Niki would be one of them. It was so obvious, but I thought they would kill Matt instead of Nathan. I like them both though…
Generations was great…I can’t wait for Villains!
I don’t think that a new Villan “killed” Nathan, I guess that it was Noah in exchange for his daughter.
Hmm just a thought
i dont believe that seoson 2 was that bad i loved it but i thihnk that maybe the ending could have had more of a cliff hanger
Personally, I absolutely loved season 2, and it’s still not finished as there’s another volume to go….I too think it was much better than season 1 – my friends that have watched it also agree with me. I’ve been very surprised at the unjustified harsh criticisms it’s received…..It’s been excellent, but obviously quite a few disagree. You must be mad…but hey the end result of the negativity surrounding Generations has prompted Tim Kring to come back bigger & better than before….and if Generations is anything to go by, Villians is going to be awesome…..(I hope, in fact -PRAY)
However…the storyline has got to be better than “stopping Sylar & Adam killing people & trying to take over the world” or something along those lines…..they’ve got to really think about the storyline hard this time – it’s all well & good having characters with all these great abilities, but without a good ORIGINAL storyline – it will hurt Heroes more than Generations apparently ever did.
P.S – I like the Vol. Three Preview clip of Villians where Sylar gets his powers back by using his telekinetic power to move & grab the can of SPINAGH – Anyone sensing a homage to Popeye there? LOL
I liked season 2 also, don’t know why they critised it so much
and they should Definitely put in more Peter fight scenes, there awesome, especially in episode 11 ^_^
about this spoiler:
5) Zachary Quinto (Sylar) will be more bad ass then ever and when we come back he will kill a star on the show
everybody may be killed by Sylar except “Peter”, Peter needs to stay forever
I want to see Peter win from Sylar
Can’t wait for Vol. 3
I can’t wait for Volume 3 but I really don’t want Micah’s storyline to end. It seems like they could do a lot more with him but from the way it sound he’s the one to die from Sylar. I wonder how Adam will get out? Maybe Peter wants more answers and gets him out but I’m sure Hiro wouldn’t do that. Nikki needs to stay dead b/c if she was revived it would be annoying how everyone who died comes back to life. Nathan will stay alive and killed off later and more nobely.
I was about to say about jessica potentially being back…
We all have to remember Jessica just isnt a multiple personality, she’s real, and plus a character that cool has been needed back all season.
Thumbs up for jessica storyline in volume 3, so who do we have paired:
Adam and sylar? ….or jessica perhaps?
will micah die? or will he finally decide to use his powers and actually BE a hero?
Could my theory on mr. Aurthur Petrelli (the petrelli father) be correct? Angela’s worry seems to give me hope.
My greatest hope at the moment is that this strike gets resolved so we can see heroes back with…wait “villains”, which potentially if they are cunning could become the best of all three volumes, even better than the first?
Fingers crossed, heroes: villains will be quick, decisive, and mind-blowing!
Is it me, or is it that all characters that were to die from season one explosion actually are dying at individual moments during the seasons. D.L. died after, when he was shot, Nathan was dead in the future. So were Candice and Micah, which they are talking about doing in volume 3. Would that mean that Ando will die soon as well. Yeah, we are to think Nikki died, but the are talking of bringing her back in Volume 3, which in the future she is Peter’s girlfriend. Is there a pattern which is actually showing that you cannot cheat death. Think of it as Final Destination the Show.
Well that’s what I think.
i just hope they dont focus on some villains the old company had to confront. i wanna see some rivals of Sylar with real potential and some powers that we havent seen(tough one..)
hehe, i totally liked this season too. it was very nice to focus on hiro, explain the company, peter is smarter now…
we have unanswered questions but i can say only one thing.
volume 3 title is VERY PROMISING
hahaha, i always like the bad guys, so its gonna be a dream come true! i cant wait for the strike to finish , can sb send me a link where writers write their exact demands/problems. i dont know the whole story.
omg pls dont kill nathan hes one of the best chars in heroes
and the show wont be that intresting without the brothers.
dont kill nathan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
