Heroes Season 1(#17)---2/26/07-'Company Man'

[WayneLigon]

I doubt a major television show has part of its plot "made up as it goes along." Everything is scripted out in advance, weeks if not months before the actual shooting, which is itself weeks or months before the episodes air.

Note that Tim Kring himself has said "we have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons".

Yeah, you generally have a master plan for a show like this but any writer also knows that his plan will not survive contact with the enemy. From the various articles on ComicBookResources where the writers field questions every week it seems as if they have about a four or five episode lead-time from when something is worked on until the time it gets filmed; it also discusses how they go about writing the series, which is interesting.

And before anyone get freak out, by my request. Please let me make it clear...since I have been doing this threads, from the start.

This is the first time, anyone, outside the Monday night viewing...has ever put up, an earlier spoilers before the official Monday night showing.

I was never been aware of it, being broadcasted early, one day before, in Canada. This is the first time, I have heard of it.

It has been always been done for the Monday night, because, that is what NBC states the timeslot for the American broadcast. I have no further knowledge of other Countries' TV schedules for this show.

Just for here...in the USA.

My request is simple, I am not bending or breaking, or swearing, on the little slight of eagerness, shown by a individual, who loves the show as much as we do.

All that is asked...is to show, a little restrain.

Thank You.

While I understand your frustration and I thank you for setting up these threads, I have to completely disagree with your point.

I personally see absolutely no problem with people posting about the show as soon as they see it, even if that is before I get a chance to myself. I simply don't jump into this thread until I have seen the show myself.

Show restraint? Come on, we're talking about a TV show here . . . granted one we are all rapidly fanatic about . . .

I'm fairly sure that when most people post here about the show, whether they are in Canada or anywhere in the US . . . they don't stop to think, "Hey, before I post this, has EVERYONE in North America had a chance to see this show yet? I was going to use spoiler tags anyway, but maybe I should just wait for a day just to be sure." That doesn't seem reasonable to me, again as we are just talking about a TV show . . .

Nah dude...it is not frustration, never got to that point. I will admit, I was taken back, when I finished posting this thread. And checking at work later, to see some spoilers tags up, on a show not shown yet, in my timezone.

Yes, I was surprised. Never frustrated, And honestly, since the show started, there has never been a issue of advanced viewing spoilers done before. So....the question will be, why start now?

But like I said before, all other points are understood as well.

This will be consider as a lesson and a constant reminder hereafter.

The boons of technology can cut both ways.

Peace.

(And freaking yes....I saw Simone too, was that who Claude was protecting?)

ComicbookResources interview about 'Company Man' is up with tidbits like

What else are you noticing about our friends, Nakamura, Petrelli, Deveaux and Linderman? What do they have in common?

And

We made a choice not to hang onto the mysteries like "X-Files," because it does frustrate the fans. That's the last thing we want, as writers or as fans ourselves. And to be honest, so far this pace has opened up as much story as it has closed off.
