Fuller quits Heroes

From Ausiello:

Just as Heroes was gaining some creative momentum comes word of another major setback: Sources confirm that Bryan Fuller has vacated his post as consulting producer. NBC declined to comment, but a Peacock insider tells me that the acclaimed Pushing Daisies auteur will focus on developing new projects for NBC. Fuller's exit was first reported by Herc at Ain't it Cool News.

Well, it was a good one year anyway. :p
 
I think he only directly wrote like three episode but he was "in the room" for all/most of the first season, shaping the episodes. This is crappy news as even I was down on the Fugitives arc (and I loved the Villains arc!).
 
Hasn't he been talking about heading up a new Trek series?
Think that this may be related in some way - seems strange to rejoin a show and leave again unless he was tempted away with a better offer...
 
Are the Heroes showrunners as incompetent as the Smallville ones? If that were the case, I'd want out too.
 
Honestly, short of lack of anything better on Monday nights, I can't think of a single reason to watch now that he's gone. The show was heading in a better direction, but it wasn't quite there. It led me to be optimistic about the new season and now I'm not sure about that.
 
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :crazy:

In case you couldn't tell, I'm a bit disappointed by this news.

Please tell me he wrote several scripts for the new season before he left, or at least a detailed outline of where the series should go (which Kring and co. must follow, of course). Please.

:sigh: I had so much hope that next season would be better. I don't really have as much now.
 
After the Villians Arc, I left the show with a very bitter taste in my mouth. After the Fugitives arc came, I ended up watching all of those episodes on Hulu which only took me about a half week. It was a lot better than what I saw on the network, but it was still a bit on the negative side. I think my feeling with Heroes is that it's much better to watch after the season is over so you can see it straight though. That's out I did the first season, and then the second half of the third season. Both were enjoyable.

I am pessimistic about Fuller leaving since his episodes were great, but I do have the wait and see attitude. Heroes is so down on the food chain right now that no matter what they do, it can only get slightly worse and not very worse. That, and other than a few rungs on the latter, it can only go up.
 
Am I the only one who loved season 3 and where the story was going?

I actually have trouble deciding between seasons 1 and 3 between which I prefer. I actually lean towards season 3.

Episodes like The Second Coming, One of Us, One of Them, I Am Become Death, Angels And Monsters, Villains, The Eclipse, pt. 2, Dual, Shades of Gray, Into Asylum, I Am Sylar and An Invisible Thread were some of my favorite episodes in the series.

Well it sounds like he was already working on Season Four and is just now leaving. Remember they've already cast T-Bag and Darth Maul so they're clearly writing scripts to have these characters for. Don't they start writing the next season right after the previous one finishes airing in May as a general TV rule?

That's what a producer is/does.

With a chair and whip s/he tames writers forces them to be entertaining when they just want to lay there licking their own genitals.

It's misleading when they say that they have "cast" someone, when it's just a guest spot... Hell's I really though I'd get to see Johnny Glover thunder about the set making the regulars feel like extras on their first day, but it was just the one episode.

Rather than steal 80s Claremont, why don't they just hire (I just had a weird typo. You ever notice ho similar the word "hire" is to "whore"? How does that relate to a high wire?) Claremont?
 
I wonder if he quit b/c he wanted to take the show in a direction that the higher-ups were reluctant to go & he got frustrated.
