Fan Concerns About Season Two Heard by Kring and Crew

Tim Kring admits that he and the crew that produce the Heroes series had taught viewers what to expect. This happened from the way that they organized and delivered Season One.

The current Season Two, so far, has moved away from whatever format that was used for the first season and, frankly, (some) viewers don't like the current format. Viewers have spoken out, SPOKEN LOUDLY, so Tim Kring and his series-making crew have heard the message.

Tim gave some interviews in the first week of November and made promises to fans that the show will change and viewers will get what they want!

Kudos to Tim!

Things that viewers liked so far:
Kristen Bell - The way Kristen's character, Elle, was introduced right into the "Peter" storyline.

That's it...that's all, according to the TVNEWS article, that fans liked so far in Season Two.

Criticisms:

* New Heroes, Monica (Dana Davis), and Maya (Dania Ramirez) with Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz), were introduced in such separate storylines that they seemed unattached to the show.

* Love...it stinks! Viewers don't like the cheesy 'love' bits and don't buy these for one minute!

* Main "issue" of the series was held off way too long. Viewers wanted to know RIGHT AWAY - what are our Heroes collectively fighting for this season? This issue (Peter's 'vision') wasn't brought forth until episode 7 and viewers thought this was way too long to find out what kind of mission our Heroes needed to organize themselves for.

* Get Hiro OUT OF JAPAN! For a time-bending Hero, it's not plausible for Hiro to just be in Japan for over more than 2 or 3 episodes. In the first season, we see Hiro jump from present-Japan, all over the place, and even into the future! Why does he get stuck in Ancient Japan in season two? Sorry, not a good place for Hiro to be for so long.

Tim Kring Mentions Variations on Abilities



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!
