New Hands on Deck for Heroes: Origins

Kendra — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 20:02:59 +0000

Heroes: Origins may only be 6 episodes long, but they’re making sure it will be fantastic with some amazing talent creating the episodes! The newest addition to the Heroes: Origins writing/directing team is Eli Roth, the man behind films like Hostel and Cabin Fever.

Roth will be writing and directing one episode of Heroes: Origins along with others on board to write single episodes including Michael Dougherty of Superman Returns, and Kevin Smith of Clerks (Hall).

With Heroes so well established as a major hit show, some of the writers are a little nervous – especially Smith who’s on for the first episode. As a fan of Heroes he said, “‘I just don’t want to be the guy who ruins Heroes,’” (Hall). But I don’t think with the track record of any of these writers, there’s too much to be concerned about.

Heroes: Origins will premiere its 6 episode run mid-season in which new characters will be introduced and up for a vote on who should join the regular Heroes cast for Season 3.

Heroes returns tonight, Monday 9/24 on NBC at 9/8c!

Journeyman: The NBC Must-See of the Season

Kendra — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:24:52 +0000

Not everyone trusted NBC’s instincts when they brought out a new little series last fall called Heroes. It seemed a little iffy on if a show about super heroes could really make a good primetime drama. But any doubts were put aside as Heroes became the most captivating new series of the season.

This season, Journeyman is definitely NBC’s new must-see. Like Heroes, there’s that element of the main character(s) having some sort of discovered and an uncertain mission those powers are meant for. Also like Heroes, there’s an element of immediate captivation with the intriguing story and unique characters.

Journeyman brings on the very strong lead of Rome‘s Kevin McKidd playing Dan Vassar, a San Francisco reporter who suddenly starts experiencing a strange phenomenon: waking up in different places… and no, he’s not sleepwalking… he’s time traveling. He finds himself waking up in different times and places when sometimes he’d been sleeping or sometimes he seems to just be pulled into this bright light into another time.

He realizes very quickly, despite his totally confused state, that there’s a trend to the places and times he ends up in which is connected to things he must do that will end up changing time hopefully for the better. But, while he’s discovering in different times how he’s meant to help, he’s disappearing for days from his regular life including his wife and kid and job which has just a couple of pressing tasks considering he’s a reporter. And of course, it puts a little strain on a marriage when the husband disappears for a couple days without a phone call.

Journeyman does an excellent job of creating a very intriguing and quality storyline of Dan Vassar’s time travel as well as establishing a very realistic life for him on “the other side” and the complications this new way of life has taken on for his regular life. The greatest part is that these two storylines are not so cut and dry as Dan being involved in other people’s lives while he’s in the past, and his own simple and ordinary life when he’s in the present.

There’s quite a past built for him with an ex-fiance who’d died in a plane crash, a complicated relationship with his brother, especially since Dan’s now married to his brother’s ex-girlfriend, and some moments of his own past that he unavoidably becomes a part of as his future self.

The premiere episode of Journeyman sets all of this up very well with only revealing the perfect amount of information to show viewers how much there is yet to be revealed, yet making us feel attached to the characters and their stories in a way that most definitely makes for an immediately addictive show.

Don’t miss the premiere of Journeyman tonight on NBC at 10/9c!
