Heroes to Go From Villains to Fugitives in Season 4

Now that the Olympics are over, only one thing is certain — I will go back to actually updating FSR. Alright, maybe two things are certain: the Fall TV season is almost upon us, giving us a much needed break from the lackluster menu of movies that will hit between now and November. One show that is coming back with a vengeance is “Heroes,” back for season 3 with its badass new volume, entitled “Villains.”

As fans of the show will note, each season has included a volume of sorts. Season 1 consisted of the first volume, known as “Genesis.” The second season, which hits DVD shelves this week, was primarily taken up by the second volume, known as “Generations,” but ended with the beginning of volume 3, known as “Villains.” And now “Villains” will take up the first half of the hopefully epic third season. So what will take up the second half? According to a Digital Spy report from the Edinburgh TV Festival, series creator Tim Kring has confirmed that it will be called “Fugitives.” The “Fugitives” storyline will start in the 14th episode of season 3 and run through the final 12 episodes.

So if you thought that “Villains,” a volume that is said to include a lot more Hero-on-hero action sounded like fun, wait until you get a load of “Fugitives,” which also has a nice ring to it.

Is Heroes one of the shows that is on your must-watch list for the fall?
