So where is this spin-off showing? Is it another on-line show?(Which means I won't be able to watch it, most likely, given my connection speed)
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Art Crawl!!!
I don't know -- because it certainly wasn't on the schedule. I was happy to see that NBC is (so far) keeping Heroes in the spot it's been in.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
You know what, it'lll probably be a bit like the comic where, if you follow it, it'll give you something extra when you watch the regular show, but otherwise, it won't make much difference. They've done a good job playing with interactivity. And if it helps keeps viewers engaged and keep the show running, I'm cool with it.
The real question is, what cast members were at the upfronts? I've only seen a picture of one cast member so far. (And of course, that doesn't even completely guarantee they'll be back. But it's a hint.

Oh, and according to the AP, "Origins" will air during the hiatus, so they can get around the post-hiatus drop they suffered this year.

I am exactly in Cindy's corner. What a PITA. Plus, I hate the idea of voting - there's a reason I don't like/watch American Idol. Hopefully, the voting/extra stuff will stay out of the way.

Ooooh boy. I'm getting pretty Lost over this new development. Which is so not a good thing.

Geez. When did this become such a doom-and-gloom crowd?

Well, it's always bugged me a bit that there were comics and part of the story was being told there. This bugs because it's more in the same direction.
But not gloom and doom. I totally love the show and can't wait to see more.

I get that, but I've got to admit, it really bothers me when you have a show that's innovative and willing to try new things, and has so far pulled them off with aplomb, and it gets greeted with so much negativity here.

I don't want to be negative. But I was burned by Lost so badly last season. I was invested in all kinds of extra-show materials, and then NONE OF IT MATTERED. The bitter aftertaste, she lingers more than I thought.
I haven't been faithfully following the comics, and I don't feel that it detracts from the show for me. When I read it the first time I was thinking that it was going to be a complete separate show, which would sorta be a spin-off, but not really, and wouldn't impact the show at all. But if they're going to show some origins episodes in the hiatus, that's a big difference for me.
I should give them more credit, because Heroes has gotten everything right that Lost screwed up.
