New cast? No Sylar? New plotline? Im not sure how I feel about any of this. I hope they at least reveal what happened to Claire (and everyone else) after she revealed her power to the world. And did Peter ever get that one chick back from the alternate future that he dumped her in?
I guess what im saying is, that they had so many dangling plotlines from the original series that if they dont address any of that, and are just starting anew, Im not really interested, I mean whats the point, yaknow?

Its worth checking out, It was on Netflix. The first season is really good, after that it got really soap operay, with evil twins and what-not.

No, sorry to disappoint. It was done in typical soap opera fashion, one of the main characters was killed off, the same actress was brought back in next season as her twin that she didnt even know she had! dum dum duuummmmm!

Doing the best imitation of myself
I was a huge fan of the original show, and suggest checking it out if you've never seen it. As far as I am concerned, watch season one only, and stop with about a minute left at the end of the last episode. You'll have a completely resolved show that's really quite good.
I am surprised at how many shows have a complete plotline that gets resolved, and then the show keeps going on afterwards with less than satisfactory results.

As I understand things, writers often have to approach the first season of the show as if it will be the only season - it needs to be mostly contained, with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
They often don't learn whether they're going to get a second season until late in the process, and the terms of the second and following season are often mucked with by executives (like, "Don't kill that character", "change your core story in such-a-way", and so on). Writers are then often left scrambling to find ways to continue.
Witchblade is an excellent example - the show was conceived as a simple 13-episode series, with a contained arc. The network came back to them and said they'd pay a lot of money to have a second season. BUT, the budget per episode was drastically reduced, and the main actress went into rehab. There's glimmerings of a good second story n there, but all the signs of difficulty in executing on that story.
