Weeks ago, Kring talked to Entertainment Weekly about what they've done wrong in Heroes S2, and I forgot to post about this bit I didn't like.  ( excerpt )

Hi, GoogleAlerts ForTheWin. Someone asks in a Heroes discussion thread what the words are to the song Alejandro sings to Maya in the previous episode, and a respondent cited my post (which they found from a Google search).

Oh, ann1962 posted: "A small collection of links about Mayan culture, twins, South American deities and how I go in circles."

And last week I debated whether Caitlin's a Mary Sue.

NBC announces schedule, shows (Posted: Mon., May 14, 2007, 6:59am PT)

While the focus this spring centered on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off, NBC was quietly developing one of their own - and announced this morning that "Heroes" has spawned a second series of its own.

"Heroes: Origins" will air in "Heroes'" Monday night time slot when that smash hit takes a hiatus. The net has ordered six segs of "Origins," which, combined with "Heroes," makes for 30 hours altogether.

"Heroes: Origins" will center on characters not yet seen on the original show. Peacock has also added an interactive element to the show: Viewers will be asked to pick their favorite character from "Origins," who will then join the cast of the full-blown "Heroes" skein the following year.

[...]

Edit: in a musesfool commentthread, witchqueen linked to TVGuide:

• NBC "bulks up" with 30 combined episodes of Heroes and Heroes: Origins, an innovative new spin-off that will introduce a new character each week, one of whom will be chosen by viewers through NBC.com to become a cast regular the following season.

I think this was originally listed as "String Theory."

I'm behind on tv writeups and not gonna stay up all night to finish all of them, but I wanted to post an immediate reaction post to this.
