NBC is reviving Heroes

Terrific they are bringing back a character whose very best moment was the last few seconds of the premiere episode and who they then did not have a clue how to write properly after that. Welcome back Hiro.
 
Hiro was always one of the most important characters on the show so it's great that he'll be returning.
 
In many ways, he was the heart of the show. But they also had very little idea of what to do with him after the first season (I'll say his time in Japan was at least something, but really nothing after that). Maybe if his role was more of a mentor role, it'll work better.
 
Hiro was way too powerful so they lost him in Japan then eventually just removed his powers. No concept of what they were doing or where they were taking it

With that in mind, is this revival a vanity project that will only further damage the reputation of the show or do they actually have a plan?
 
It was kind of nice that Hiro became Ando's sidekick after he lost his power and I really liked it in the fourth season when Hiro kept trying to use his power to save others and filed more times than he succeeded. hiro, Noah, Claire, Pete and Sylar were IMO the heart of the series at least two of them will be in the miniseries.

This. I loved Hiro, but it was painfully obvious that he was one of the characters who was only meant to appear in Season 1 in original anthology series concept.

I can only hope that they acknowledge the passage of time and bring him back as something more like Future Hiro. That would be interesting at least.
 
Or at least have an episode where multiple versions of him come together (like the 5 doctors). The episode would of course be called "Hiros"
 
Really glad they are bringing Hiro back, it just wouldn't feel like real Heroes if he wasn't involved.
 
I can't wait to see the new character the Nigerian, whose special power is to magically make people's money disappear. But then that opens the door for another character, the UK Lottery.
 
At least they're bringing back some of the best characters. I wonder if they will get any of the Petrellis back.

I think we've already got confirmation of no return for Zachary Quinto or Milo Ventimiglia, but, Angela could be really cool. I suppose they could give Sylar a new face, such as Nathan's
 
I wouldn't mind Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) or Cristine Rose (Angela). The Petrellis were such a big part of the original show it would feel weird if we didn't see at least one of them somewhere.
