‘Heroes’ Creator Apologizes to Fans
Tim Kring knows that the episodes that have aired so far have been disappointing. He addresses some of the problems of Season 2 and promises that the show will get better.
“THE PACE IS TOO SLOW - ‘We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.”
THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER - The premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter’s vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ‘We took too long to get to the big-picture story,’ he says.”
