True story, according to Herc at Ain’t It Cool News.
Says Fuller in the story…
“Development was really starting to heat up, And it appears like I may be writing multiple pilots for NBC so that wasn’t leaving a ton of room for ‘Heroes,’ unfortunately. We crafted some really great arcs for the season that I’m excited to see come to fruition. I love that cast dearly and am sad to go, but the plate — she was over-flowing.”
Ugh. I mean, not that there aren’t plenty of other writers who are just as capable as Fuller, but there’s just no question how much the guy brought to the “Heroes” plate, as the tail end of Season 3 handily demonstrated. As such, I am hereby bummed. Of course, I’ll feel a lot better if we get an announcement in the near future that says Fuller is officially attached to a new “Star Trek” series, but I don’t think there’s any reason to expect such a thing anytime soon.
