I've seen reports that "Heroes Origins" is now dead due mostly to the huge fall in ratings this past fall, as well as the strike. It would IMHO be much better if they just make the season 3 scripts and story much stronger then to split production up into two projects. I loved season one, but found season two very weak, un-inventive, and much too repetitive. The whole idea of the no one can die if they get a bit of super blood takes so much away from the drama and fear of losing one of our heroes. Do you truly think "Flying Man" Nathan will die now? Come on, all you need is some super Clair blood and all better. Or, will it now be that they can now use Peter's blood too, as he shares the power with Clair? This is all becoming a run of the mill comic book story, and does not have that fresh felling that the show had for most of season one. Also the teen romance parts make me want to puke. Why are they trying to pander to high school girls with this crap? The ratings show this is not brining the show any new viewers, so I pray they drop that type of crap in season 3. Let us get some new bad ass bad guys, and forget about nerds like "Bob", who is just old, dumpy and boring. Eric Roberts had much more of a fear factor related to him then this jerk "Bob" does. The once cool cutting edge dialogue has now become common and plain. The Suresh and Parkman story angle is now nothing more than "Two Men and a Little {Bratty} Lady". Heroes needs to grow some serious balls in season 3 if it wants to survive!
