Bryan Fuller on returning to Heroes:

It really is a fresh start. All of the characters are back in their real lives. You see Peter as a paramedic. Claire is looking for colleges. We get away from the world of formulas and quasi-magic.

Yes. Episodes 14, 15 and 16 are amazing. The whole "Fugitives" arc starts out very strongly, and then it gets a little dense in the middle in terms of the mythology. So I came in right at the point where everybody was realizing, "Oh, we're getting too dense here and we need to put faces on stories because there is no face to a formula; there is no face to saving the world." So it's turning this big ship back into a character stream, and everyone on the writing staff shares that desire. We need to get back into a character place, because that's where this story started: Very clean, superhero metaphors to everyday life. That's the path that we're taking. But it is a big ship so it's going to take a little while to turn it.

Also glad to see John Glover in the show's future; excellent actor and takes (some of) the sting away over losing Robert Forster (I luv u, Roooobert! *Weeps* Okay, I'm weird, I totally admit it!)

I only hope that they don't drop everything that's been happening; the show has a tendency to do that (which character, what now? I don't remember anyone by the name of Audrey, Claude, Caitlin etc. etc. etc.) and while it hasn't been at its best this season *cough, cough* to just totally dismiss what's gone before is part of the problem and not the cure!

Also awesome: Merlin's been renewed for a second series! *Does happy Snoopy dance* And Richard Wilson's been confirmed as returning which means Gaius doesn't kick the bucket at the end of this season either! Whoooooo!

I really thought the Beeb was going to drop the ball with it but they didn't, so, yay! :-D
