NBC is up today and here’s a quote that should please:
The pilot for “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer” with David Tennant has finished shooting, and Bromstad says that “theoretically” it could be something that fills part of the 10 p.m. hole [the cancellation of the Jay Leno show]come spring.

And Heroes:
“Heroes”? Bromstad says NBC still likes the show but won’t make a decision until it sees the pilots.
And sadly, Alex O’Loughlin is out of work again. A quote from Nina Tassler of CBS:
She was, however, much more to the point about the Alex O’Loughlin-starring organ donation medical drama “Three Rivers.” When …read more

While at Comic Con, NBC turned their cameras on the Heroes fans:
Which Superpower Would You Want? – Comic-Con goers reveal which superpower they’d most like to have.

Fan Predictions – Fans at Comic-Con have their own predictions!

NBC doesn’t want a single Heroes fan to miss out just because they couldn’t go to Comic Con. So they’ve sent over a bunch of great videos including the Sizzle Reel! That’s your first look at the new season as the Heroes head down the Road to Redemption.
After the jump, a look at the Heroes Carnival from Comic Con.

There’s so much great Comic Con coverage all over the web, so instead of reinventing the solar powered wheel, I thought I’d link you to some of the best in panels and pics. Here are a few to get started.

NBC Universal has out done themselves again this year with a fun bunch of Comic Con exclusive items. The odd thing is that you can’t actually buy any of these items at Comic Con, you have to buy them from the NBC Store. At a quick glance it appears that the items will be mailed to you, versus pick up at the con so it doesn’t matter if you’re going, you can still get these cool items. (If I’m wrong on this, let me know).
The biggest item is a new Battlestar Galactica Cylon Toaster. It bakes a Cylon face into …read more

Hollywood Reporter says that actor Rick Worthy, who played Cylon Simon in Battlestar Galactica may be headed over to Heroes for the new season. Worthy is in talks to play Greg Grunberg’s new partner.
Worthy comes from a long line of scifi projects. He was Jannar on Enterprise, and he guested on Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Fallen, and he had a pivitol role in the series finale of Dark Angel. Without checking IMDB — can you name the character he played?

Peacock network execs have said all along Heroes was never in any danger, despite flagging ratings. They’ve now made it official, as they continue their trend of announcing their plans two weeks before the other networks pitch shows to advertisers.
NBC will wait two weeks to announce the scheduling for its shows, so we’ll be waiting to see if Heroes remains on Monday nights. And if so, what shows will share that night with it. The Christian Slater spy vehicle My Own Worst Enemy was NBC’s big plan for Monday nights last season but it quickly vanished. Combined with Heroes’ …read more

You know, with each passing technological evolution the traditional Nielsen ratings get just a little more outdated. Former entertainment lawyer Eric Belloni writes a column about Hollywood and the law at The Hollywood Reporter.
This week he looks at the shows that got illegally file shared the most and NBC’s embattled drama Heroes tops the list with an estimated with 1.6 million downloads. The top 10 also includes SFUniverse faves Supernatural, Smallville and Fringe. Second on the list is now canceled Prison Break, which was also suffering from low ratings. That is to say, at least the way we’re calculating …read more

Oh, what a long, strange trip Season 3 has been. After starting the “Days of Future Past-ish” imprisonment of mutants- I mean, “ones of them,” the suddenly sainted Sen. Nathan Petrelli may be our last, best hope. 
Spoilers, intricate plot details and possibly (OK probably) some ranting about Season 3. So don’t read further if you don’t want to know!

Seriously, what is Sylar up to? And can he be killed? Knives to the back of the head are apparently not sufficient. Season 3 comes to an end tonight, as Danko prepares to wipe out all the people with special abilities.
He really can’t do that, or else we don’t have much of a show. It seems like we just started Season 3 and we’re at the end already. The word going around is that a major character is going to die and it’s actually going to stick.
Heroes has always maintained a strong connection to other sci-fi shows including Star …read more
