Could New Heroes Save NBC?
For those who didn’t read yesterday’s post, I’ve decided that The Event and The Cape should serve as a wake-up call to NBC that they need to stop playing it so safe with their genre shows.

All Network Politics And No Heroes Makes Sylar A Dull Boy
Zachary Quinto is bummed out. It’s not that he doesn’t have anything to look forward to in terms of his career — a Star Trek sequel is just around the corner, after all — but the one-time Gabriel Gray is disappointed that NBC won’t greenlight the proposed Heroes wrap-up movie.
