I just read an interesting interview where
Tim Kring speaks out about what's in store for
Heroes Season Two.
Basically, he says to
face facts:
There are limited numbers of truly COOL 'superpowers' or abilities. The rest are
variations upon certain powers.
In season two,
Kring focuses on showing viewers that these EXTRAORDINARY abilities are becoming known to people ALL OVER THE WORLD, so naturally,
Kring can't INVENT brand new abililties for everyone he brings into the show!
OF COURSE - there will be characters who have
similar or same abilities...no rocket science here. There can't be only one person in the
HEROES world with the extraordinary ability to fly or be invisible or heal or whatever... particularly if more characters are going to show up and cast/
Heroes numbers rise.
So - don't be tuning in looking for more special effects designed to highlight new abilities that you've never seen before...instead look for how the
Heroes find new ways to use their abilities!
Besides - the character interaction and what the characters DO with their powers are what will be important in Season Two (
Generations).
After all - don't we all want to know how the people USE their powers and cope with the fact that they have
extraordinary abilities? This is what is important.
For instance - in Season One (
Origins) I thought that
Nathan was a jerk for a long time. He never did anything wonderful with his abilities, he never helped anyone out via use of his extraordinary powers, now did he? Not for a lonnnnnng time, he didn't!
While other characters began to use their abilities to help others,
Nathan just sat around KNOWING that he could fly!
Even
Peter was TRYING TO USE abilities for the good of others during a time when he didn't even KNOW what abilities he possessed.
Hiro, of course, is all about helping others...
"
Save the cheerleader, save the world" is this not the mantra that both
Hiro and
Peter use all throughout Season One? And THIS is more important than the special effects or television effects of any abilities...
Back to the
Tim Kring info...

Kring hints that some of the
Heroes characters are going to fall back on old ways, so we're not going to see everything we want to see this season. Obviously, most people want to see
Heroes using their abilities to the utmost potential and for the good of all mankind...ultimately, this is what
Heroes are supposed to do, right?
Well - it's not going to happen right away in Season Two of the Heroes season.
("he he he" said the
HEROES blogger gal)
Tim Kring doesn't actually give out too many facts in this interview, found at the Can Mag .com website, but what he does tell are a few hints that will
keep viewers TUNED IN.
I don't want to over-extend comments here about the interview because who could explain this stuff better than creator of
Heroes,
Tim Kring himself?
I urge to you follow up and read the interview:

The Interview is Titled "
Tim Kring Talks - Heroes Season Two"
The interview is from
September 13, which occurred 11 days before the season opener show, so you'll note that
Tim drops some hints but keeps a pretty tight lip on scenarios, characters and plot development.
It's a good interview to check out - now that the first
Heroes show of
Season Two has recenly come to air (last night). You can compare what
Tim said on September 13th with what you saw on last night's
Heroes episode!
