"I loved my time on Fringe, but the truth is that was originally a story about a female protagonist… and the show turned into a story about father and son [played by John Noble and Joshua Jackson]. Very often in this business, that’s what tends to happen… A lot of the time, those boy shows, it’s not that there’s anything against women, they just don’t know how to write women, so they go right back to [the trope of Steven] Spielberg, father-son — and there are mothers and sons, and mothers and daughters."

"They thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible powers."

"Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities."

"Debuting in the fall of 2006, “Heroes” was something fans had never seen before: an original TV series centered around everyday people discovering fantastical abilities. We met characters like Claire Bennet (Hayden Panetierre), the regenerating cheerleader; Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia), the power-absorbing man; Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), the time-traveling pencil-pusher; and Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), the telepathic cop. These seemingly disparate people were discovering their powers and fearing what they might do to the world around them. On top of this strong sense of character development, the pilot almost instantly introduced the stakes in the form of Sylar (Zachary Quinto), the power-hungry villain with a scalping streak; a foreboding premonition of a nuclear explosion, the source of which was left to be discovered; and a visit from future Hiro, who bestows a mission onto his past self: “Save the cheerleader, save the world.”"

"Some people are born to be extraordinary."

"Save the Cheerleader. Save the World."

"Are you on the list?"

"2006 was a very different time for television. For one thing, there had never been a compelling superhero series realized on the small screen. But then came NBC’s Heroes, which filled a huge void on network TV with its sprawling ensemble, its story about superpowered people around the country, and its dense mythology. At the time, the show felt genuinely revolutionary, even if it was borrowing its storytelling tropes from the greatest hits of comic books."

"This was a problem with the original Heroes, too—the creator Tim Kring got so invested in his individual characters that he forgot to unite them into a team. You might recall the show’s first season motto, “Save the cheerleader, save the world,” but you’d probably be hard-pressed to remember just how the plot eventually played out. Kring would set a hundred threads in motion but then struggle to knot them all together, and considering the amount of time Heroes Reborn spends on introducing new characters, it’s fair to worry that his latest effort will struggle in the same way."

"One of Us, One of Them"

"Rappler: Since the evos are being hunted in Heroes Reborn, is the show going to have similarities to how Mutants are hunted down in the X-Men movies?"

"When the first (Emmy-nominated) season of Heroes debuted in 2006, its use of time travel and other tricky narrative structures was pretty cutting edge for a network show. (Usually studios insisted that each week’s episode be fairly accessible to new viewers.) Now, shows like the CW’s Arrow and The Flash deploy those kinds of storytelling tricks every week and have whole universes of interconnected spinoffs built around them."

"You can't choose your family. You can choose a side."

"In every hero there could be a villain."

"Darkness is coming... Expect casualties."

"I have this idea about why people do the terrible things they do. Same reason little kids push each other on the schoolyard. If you're the one doing the pushing, then you're not going to be the one who gets pushed. If you're the monster, then nothing will be waiting in the shadows to jump out at you. It's pretty simple, really. People do the terrible things they do because they're scared."

"We're all standing on the edge of a cliff, all the time, every day, a cliff we're all going over. Our choice isn't about that. Our choice is about whether we want to go kicking and screaming or whether we might want to open our eyes and our hearts to what happens once we start to fall.""

"My mother always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds in the day, and the stars at night... especially the stars. We would play a game sometimes, a game called, what's beyond the sky. We would imagine darkness, or a blinding light, or something else that we didn't know how to name. But of course, that was just a game. There's nothing beyond the sky. The sky just is, and it goes on and on, and we'll play all of our games beneath it."

"Most people change kind of slowly. They're who they are and then after a while, they're someone else. But some people know the exact moment where their lives changed. They saw the person they were going to marry or the look in their baby's eyes the first time he smiled. For some people, it's not the good things in life that made them change. It's something they've gone through that makes everything they look at from that moment on seem very different from how it had always been."

"The world is made up of the big things that happen and the small ones. And the part that's so unfair is that we call them "big" and "small", because when something happens to you, when you lose something or someone that you really care about, that's all there is. The world may be blowing up around you, but you don't care about that. You don't care about that at all."

"When everything in your life is right on track, it's easy to believe that things happen for a reason; it's easy to have faith. But when things start to go wrong then it's very hard to hold on to that faith. It's hard not to wonder whose reasons these things happen for."
