It took long enough

Apr 13, 2009 22:05

but I have to say that Heroes has hit it's stride again. I was really getting worried, because while I always expect the sophomore slump, it took us well into this chapter, "Fugitives", to get it back up into season 1 quality. That's halfway into the third season, folks. But taking into account that the writers' strike shortened the dismal season 2 ( Read more... )

They cancelled Pushing Daisies -- so Fuller had the spare time to come back to Heroes.

Yes, Bryan Fuller is responsible for creating Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and started out as a writer for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and a writer/producer on Star Trek: Voyager. Naturally, he's known for a fantastical quirky streak (with a penchant for masking the dark and depressing in broad brushstrokes of sunny color), and wrote some of your favorite episodes of Heroes: "Company Man," and "1961." In addition to coming back to Heroes, he's expressed an interest in bringing Star Trek back to television and has recently signed a two-year, seven-figure deal with Universal Media Studios, wherein he'll probably develop more fantasy-tinged television.

I think that I'll just hold a gun to his head and continue to make him work on Heroes. Haha they need him.

Do you know when his new Star Trek show will take place? I would like to see them go farther in the future, unlike the last Star Trek which was earlier than the other series.

As far as I know, there isn't any Trek TV show on the horizon at all. Trek on TV is owned by CBS/Paramount, whereas Trek on the big screen is owned by Paramount Pictures, technically two different entities. CBS/Paramount just burned off their remastered version of TOS, so they've got two syndication packages just for that one show, not to mention TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and even TAS. There were rumblings a couple of years ago that there was going to be a new animated series that took place in the far future, but that looks like it's dead ( ... )
