Tim Kring Apologies for Season 2 of Heroes
11/09/2007
by Stefan Halley
Entertainment Weekly conducted an interview with Heroes founder Tim Kring. In the interview he apologies for the first seven episodes and discusses what went wrong. Expect season 2 to end December 3rd.
Topics covered:
THE PACE IS TOO SLOW - No kidding. Each episode feels way too long and pretty damn dull.
THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER - Seven episodes in and we’re just now getting to the end of the world stuff. WFT?!
THE ROOKIES DIDN’T GREET THEMSELVES PROPERLY - Sure the Kristen Bell character is interesting but Maya and Alejandro just suck. I hope they don’t make it. They look like fodder.
HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG - No kidding. He should have been in feudal Japan for about three episodes. That took way too long.
YOUNG LOVE STINKS - Claire’s love story with the douche that can fly is the second worst storyline (the worst being Maya and Alejandro’s trip to New York). You can romance on the show but just make it interesting.

OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HATED SEASON 2. I was first irked when heroes which I truly enjoyed for the multi-culturalism seemed like they only were hiring more and more blond females and that the story lines were more centered around them. When I would go look through magazines for good hero content…Id only here about how the blondes scratch their ass and how sexy they are…give me a break there is…rather was more of an audience than pre-pubesent boys.
My second issue was the killing off of major story lines. The interracial family that all had powers and how they had to cope to make everything work was worth a show by itself. So was the politician that had to hide from himself that was going down a dark path and the forgotten brother with all the power had to save him…or face him. That too was worth a show. I loved Heroes season 1, I dont know what the smurfin im watching anymore…Im sorry to cuss but im pissed. Nothing makes since…I agree it pointless to kill off main characters that we have fallen for to recreate new ones with the same powers….WTF I too question why I dont just stop watching…ha ha but I hold out hope for something better. Im happy that the ratings have fallen because that shows that others agree…Maybe heroes writers will try a new hero to save ratings, one that is young and blonde and her power is she cant wear clothes and is a nympho…Im not joking for some reason that what heroes staff seems to think the audience craves????

It’s nowhere bad enough to stop watching. It’s not awesome, but it’s not that bad either.
