But, wouldn’t she have stayed home anyway if Peter had not interfered given that Nathan was not originally shot in the first place?

Heroes ended and no episode was able to top Company Man. I have a feeling this episode will always have a place in every Best TV Episodes Ever lists…

Thank you, farewell, and keep pinging those Dumb As Awards!

The production quality was always one of the best things about Heroes. And Otto, you never failed to point out some tiny little detail that enriched the experience. How you ever noticed some of them without watching each episode scene by scene, I’ll never know. Although, it’s really a testament to the talent and dedication of the amazing crew.

At this point, I’m not ready to find a new … obsession is probably the best way to put it. After the roller-coaster ride that was Heroes and the unbelievable/amazing finish to LOST, I’m not really needing another one … at the moment. Add to that an severe aversion to NBC, and it’s highly unlikely I’ll take on any new shows. Although, if you happen to come across a show that has the potential either Heroes or LOST had, please share it. I would welcome the opportunity to read more reviews from you, Otto.

Lastly, I’m so glad to have found this site that offered reviews and discussion that avoided fannish blind love or hate. Even the people who left comments were very respectful. It’s sad how hard it is to find, so thank you for this oasis.

It’s been quite a ride.

I have always refrained from chiming in while still associated with the show, but I too wanted to thank you for your very detailed and perceptive analyses of the episodes. I often agreed with you, and applauded your ability to see the things we were trying to do visually. I constantly was appreciative that our intentions in lighting and composition were noticed and appreciated, even when they might have fallen short. The same goes for the readers of your column. I have worked in film and television for much longer at this point than I care to acknowledge, and I have to say I have never, and never will again, work on a project like Heroes. I was super-fortunate to have been involved since the very beginning and to have been able to officially become a Director-of-Photography and Director on this show. We were able to challenge a lot of the conventions of traditional television and all went into the series with the understanding that our audience, in fact, the contemporary television audience, is used to watching DVDs, movies designed for the big screen, on television, with that cinematic language. We always approached the show visually, in camera and production design, as if we were filming for Grauman’s Chinese Theater and not some 20″ TV box still watched by some grandmother in some small town. The promise of the show in the first year was difficult to sustain, but, I think, as you mentioned in your farewell, as people revisit the series on DVD, without commercials, without week-long breaks, they will come to re-appreciate the work that went into the series and how groundbreaking it truly was. It will, I believe, also be seen as the first show of the new television age, as Tim mentioned in his own farewell. If only the “business” of television was able to adapt as easily as the viewers of the show.

Thanks again to you and all the loyal viewers around the world for their support - and criticism. No one knew the show better than all of you.

All the best,

Nate

Just wanted to throw out my own thanks! Like others said a big part of my Heroes experience was coming here after the episodes and reading your reviews. Best of luck in your future reviews and here’s to hoping for a 2-hour finale review!!
