I always wondered, who was the worse actor: she or the guy playing Peter? They were both so god damn horrible they ruined all the scenes they were in.
I would buy an Xbox for this.

Fix the writing and I'd watch again. I'd prefer Firefly though.
Whedon is probably too valuable now to actually go back to Firefly.

Retcon to the end of Season 1 and start over, and maybe I'd give a shit.

Yeah once it got to season 3 and he was changing sides almost every other episode it was unbearable. They should just keep the name of the show and have all new writers and actors. A show about superpowered people could be great, and I think it would go over well with how popular everything involving superheroes is now. I would probably even ditch the cameos, and just have it take place in a different time, or place from the original series.
Even after that giant dude she had as a BF?
Brave man.
Where is that arrested development photo when u need it.
You are totally reading my mind
This show was one of the biggest casualties of the WGA strike. The second season faltered as a result of it (like damn near every show did that year) and was never able to recover 
This was on top of the fact that they never ended up sticking to their initial claim that they wouldn't shy away from infrequently killing off major characters and introducing new ones, like super hero comics do. So disappointing.

It needs a reboot, not a revival. And it needs to be a while.

Wasn't it the writer's strike that killed the writing and momentum of the show? Or am I remembering that wrong?
The first season of Heroes is up there with Firefly, 98% of BSG, and other great sci-fi shows.
The second season was.....okay. And then it got really bad after that!

It's kind of easy to reboot/revive it. Just have an entirely new group of characters... that's it.
Shit or not, Heroes was actually popular but Jericho had to struggle to get a second series.
I liked it much more than, Heroes. It's probably cheaper too. Gary, approves.

The first season was alright. Everything after that was awful. I'm still not sure how they got away with that throat slitting scene at the end of Season 3 on broadcast TV.

Ugh. Anything but heroes.
The first season was a very fun, potentially great character show. It was the writers' strike and the plan for the series to be an anthology. Serialized dramas are hard.
On this news, it makes sense, even though I certainly won't be watching.

I still remember the shitty last season/ending.... my god please don't bring it back.
this all the way.
Oh God. No. Please no. I finished the original series. And it was so tough to do.
If they have to do it, if they ABSOLUTELY have to, please reset all the power levels somehow for any returning characters in episode 1 and KEEP THINGS CONSISTENT. I.E. If you give a character time-stopping powers, there's no way the bad guy gets away in the end of season 1, right? C'mon now. Best to avoid that type of scenario entirely. Give the characters powers that aren't overly powerful and can be used in combination to tackle a stronger threat.
Also, make sure there is some sort of goal driving the action and the characters motivations forward. That show had more downtime than anything. Sock-stealing idiot characters.
Because they'll read this post. Right?

The rationale around it probably went something like: "Superheroes are so hot right now! What's that? There's already a developed property out there? Let's buy that."
P.S. NO TIME TRAVEL OR PRECOGNITION POWERS!
Dont. Please dont. That show started excellent, and then it crashed down beyond the pits of hell. It needs to stay dead.
Give money to Drew Goddard to revive Firefly, or fund new Farscape with Scorpius, or give us some new SF/fantasy show. For fuck sake, someone needs to get money for Hyperion TV mini-series. Somebody please!
