Here's how Bryan Fuller will fix Heroes
Brett already told you earlier today about the casting of John Glover as Sylar's father on Heroes. But there are many more changes coming to the NBC show.Pushing Daisies creator/producer Bryan Fuller is back at the show. He worked on the show in the first season, and now he's coming back to work on it again starting with episode 19, a few episodes into the "Fugitives" chapter. In this interview over at Entertainment Weekly, Fuller acknowledges that the show has had several problems the past year. He's well aware of them, and he has some ideas on how to fix it.
- He wants to get back into character-driven stories and away from sci-fi elements such as the formula and saving the world.
- The story has been too dense and muddy, so they're going to start focusing on the characters and their everyday lives again. We'll actually see people back at their jobs!
- When characters die, most of them will stay dead.
- Some characters are going to return, such as Matt's wife.
- Fewer stories per episode, so we won't have to deal with 10 different characters and 14 different plots all in one episode.
- Fuller thinks that people aren't sick of the serialization of the show, it's more the way it's handled and how dense (there's that word again) the show has become.
These are all changes that fans upset with the show have been asking for, so maybe people will give the next season a chance and stop drifting away from it.
