Spoiler - Written by Infelt on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 12:51 - 216 Comments

Volume 2: what changed. Volume 3: what’s next.

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 reasons

1) 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 then 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.

Adam should not be left alive. The only to kill someone as immortal as he, is to chop of his head. Only Parkman and Nathan knew this, so the only way Hiro could put him away was to bury him alive, I suspect in or near his fathers grave.
I don’t believe the rumors that Adam and Sylar will work together. Sylar really wants the power to regenerate, that’s why he came after Claire in season 1. He would kill Adam in a heartbeat.
As for the Shanti virus; It could be Shanti was a very dangerous heroe at birth. She was the first one who had to be shut down. Dr. Suresh probably did his research to find all the heroes and maybe find the ones responsable. That’s why the Companie (Noah) was looking for him in episode one.
…Or maybe I’m very wrong :) But it doesn’t make sense that this virus is named after her and that the Companie has this virus. How could they get their hands on a virus that struck one Indian girl in the ‘70?
The Companie uses the virus to shut down evil Heroes. It worked great on Sylar. Maybe the older generation Heroes were affraid of someone stronger than they. Or maybe they are affraid that someone blows the whistle on them, on al the heroes. That’s why Nathan was shot. By the Companie offcourse. It could have been Noah, Bob or any other Companie character who could appear in season 3.
Nikki is dead and I hope she stays dead. Micah wil be alone with his crime fighting cousin and his Grandma, who probably has powers to; it always seems to run in the family.
I don’t know if Nathan will survive but I do know that Parkman and Peter will be pissed and even more determind to bring the Companie down. Although his mom is still new deep in this mysterious club. What’s her power anyway? Did her late husband had a power to? Maybe Angela can control the weather; Bob showed a newspaper clipping about Adam causing storms and things like that but he doesn’t have this power. Angela admits following Adam in his crusade, maybe she helped him this way… But maybe it was someone else.
Elle will become a good heroe, because she really liked helping others in the last episode.
Claire and West… Who knows, it could be anything.

Let’s just hope Sylar doesn’t steal Maya’s powers… but it could be pretty cool though.

to me, its not necessary that if one family member has a power, the rest must have too. if it is, its going to be boring.

and i dont get why ppl begin hating mohinder. he’s the most expert of all experts in all this genetic-heroic-DNA matter whatsoever. and he somehow controls lotsa stuff.

Sylar SHALL NOT team up with Adam. It will be boring. What will raise up the notch is that Sylar AGAINST Adam instead. And i wanna see a kick ass show with a long battle filled with special effects etc.

A NOTE TO TIM KRING AND GANG: Take your time to do Volume 3. We rather wait a lil longer and be much more satisfied with the end product. Saying on behalf of all fans!!! (I think) =DD

Yatta people!

Whoever worried that Peter somehow got the virus, relax, he didn’t. He used the nuclear power he absorbed from Ted in season 1 to nuke the virus between his hands, so all that was left was dust. Virus is gone, Peter is fine. :)

omg i just remembered that sylar has candices powers too now! lol!
i hope season 3 isnt very confusing as we all have many questions about 2.
i agree with save nathan save the show!

I highly doubt that Sylar has Candices powers… Sylars power is to copy peoples powers if he eats their brains. Well that power was disabled while he had the virus. Otherwise he would have killed Maya? and her brother straigth away. He wouldn’t need them to get back to Suresh.

if sylar has the power of candice the season will be very intresting!!!!!!he can cheat everyone….i thnik he is going to make a lot(i mean a LOT)of damage with this power!!!!!!

i bet in the beginning of the season we wont see sylar..because of that power he will be taking the place of someonelse.(nathan)

He he he heroes!
Dec 6, 2007 12:59

I sorta agree with K here…season one was very suspensfull and season two was quite rushed especially in the end…i hope the get better villains…and by that i mean ppl who are so sick and twisted and of course evil!!! lol and there should be ppl who like knows everything about thier powers so they can show some ass kicking special effects…lol…personally i wouldnt mind if nathan was dead judging by this last season…there wasnt much on him…and the first season he was fustrating cuz he was always making the wrong choices…as for nikki same goes nothing happened with her much…i just feel bad for micah…they should definitely use micah and monica more…elle is awesome…and it’d be awesome if she was claire’s sister…YEAH! i wanna see west actually being Bob’s son it makes the plot so twisted sick! love heroes…peter should train more with his abilities cuz he’s got a whole bunch

I don’t know if Tom Kring or his people read this page, but if they do, I have a humble message for you:
STOP JERKING US AROUND!!!!!

If you kill someone off, let them die! If a storyline ends, let it end!

When this whole phenomenon started, we had such high hopes. It’s no wonder it won People’s Choice. And you promised that you had a plan laid out for five years. So we counted on being surprised and intrigued for many seasons to come.

It’s great how much you have incorporated interactive features into the series. But it seems to have backfired. Every time you want to kill someone off, you will have 1000s of IMs begging, “Nooo! I love him/her! You can’t do that.” So you don’t. Or worse, you do and then you take it back.

The fact is, it’s YOUR story. It’s YOUR world. You create what happens. We may not like everything you do. But if you stick to your vision, we will respect you for it. And ultimately (if this series is not going to get canned before it’s time) that is what’s most important.

I sincerely hope that you consider this during your “time off.” Bring us back the entertaining, mildly mythic fair that we all first fell in love with.

SAVE THE STORYLINE, SAVE THE SHOW!

(p.s. And add more coll fights, too!)

A spin off show of Micah and Monica would be pretty cool to do. Have them both fighting crime in the city and perhaps have some special appearences with some of the cast of Heroes.

Did sylar just kill candice or did he take her brain? Do you think he has that ability now like he did in 5 years gone?

ok!
Dec 6, 2007 14:48

i think that this season was the calm before the storm,slow but setting the action for season 3 so less “family moments”and more fighting.Niki/jessica/gina was and the best but season 2 i think there was like 2 times she used her powers she needs more screen time than stupid claire bennet,i mean claire is ok but her story is just beverly hills 90210 with powers and its been done a million times before.Nathen should stay dead and hrg should die so should hiro and adam.People need to die a lot of people!Oh and stop making everone related its soo boring ok nathen/claire was a good one but anybody else just no!

So cast for season 3 :Niki,monica,sylar,micah,matt,mohinder,peter,maya,maybe hiro if you must and some new people + some of the reccuring people molly,angela etc

People who need to go Nathen,hrg and claire

I so hate these hardcore fans that only want they characters to live and flourish and everyone else that takes no part in the big picture, should be gone/dead/whatever. WTF? this is a show that is supposed to portray how different stories and characters deal with these recently found powers.
And for the writers: stop the fuckin’ apocaliptic scenarios!! seriously, there’s so much to explore besides that, if everything will stay the same at the end, why even base a whole season that centers on those scenarios??
Jessica teaming up with the bad guys will be more than awesome by the way.

If season 1 episodes where grade 9 or 10 average then season 2 episodes were grade 6 or 7 average.

I couple of episodes were really good, most of them were not that bad, but they were in the same league of season 1. Specially the finale as a turn off not because of the plot, because it was so rushed.

That never ending strike is ruining TV, Heroes certainly suffered a lot because of it.

It would totally rock if Sylar would have the quest to find Adam to take his power, Sylar being the one to dig up Adam from the grave.
Pretty sure Noah killed Nathan (or injured). My opinion is that they should stop killing and reviving characters, it’s getting old. Someone has to REALLY die sometime. Oh well…

Nathan & Nikki will be back, but why everyone is adding jessica yet, nikki still has the virus on her, we dont know if jessica is still there, only that nikki could have survived the fire befor the warehouse exploded, and for nathan may come back, vokume 3 may begging with peter/nathan/matt arc where nathan is taken to a hospital (again), where he’s taken to an operation room, pete makes himself invicible so he can enter to see nathan’s result when they come critical, and then peter with no hope of what to do, matt hears pete’s toughs and with his toughts tells him about claire, and peter remember everything with his heling power about claire andher ability (remembers just like nathan and angela), and he’ll remember claire because she’s like adam (regenerate ability), then he focus on her, that he needs her, and spots her (well only if he has molly’s hability, she was in kirby plaza in S1), grabs a neil, grabs nathan in middle of his resurection proces on the operating room, and both vanish, and matt useas his comand power on the people around him (the media, the police, everyone that could have been in the attack to forget and that the man survived and report it on news, hoping that he knows what peter will do), the claire is at her house watching the news about the attack and that the ones shot had the name petrelli and panic, and then peter will appears with bloody nathan in his arms fighting for live, and her mom sandra & lyle surprise, claire is surprise with joy and terror at the same time and wants to know what happen, the he tells her that nathan was shoot when he was about to reveal to the EUA about his abilities and the COMPANY, and claire remembers that her father stopt about that, and she suspect, then claire remembers that noah revived by her blood, and remembre nathan, tha he really care’s for her but tha he cant be anymore her true love dead, but takes the neil peter has infects her to take her blood, and gives it to nathan, and he revives, and peter with tears thanks her, and claire the same, and nathan sees claire whos crying and she huggs him and peter, and i dont want to ruin it more, i hope this happens so we can see the triangle… (poor matt alone in odessa, but helping with the mess using his power, and triyng to track dosn the assasin, if is noah HRG it will be like the old days, suspecting of him).

Hope this happen, if kring reads this hope usefull, im really a bad writer…
