Behind the Scenes With Heroes Creator Tim Kring and "Hiro," Masi Oka
David Kushner from Wired magazine 04.23.07 | 2:00 AM

Tim Kring doesn't know Magneto from Wolverine. You'd never know it from watching Heroes, his hit show about everyday people with extraordinary powers.

Tim Kring has never been much into comic books. As a kid growing up in Santa Maria, California, he was more into running track and playing acoustic guitar. "The idea of the dialog bubbles always bothered me," he says. (That's a major tip-off - a true comics fan knows those things are called speech balloons.)
As an adult, Kring found success as a writer and creator of mainstream TV dramas - Chicago Hope and Providence in the 1990s, Crossing Jordan in 2001. His only brush with geekdom was when, at the age of 24, he sold his first script to the so-lame-it's-cool show Knight Rider.

'Heroes' finale delivers big resolution, smaller cliffhangers
By Bill Keveney, USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES — As NBC's Heroes shoots climactic scenes from its season finale on a downtown office plaza, the blood tie between characters is literal. It's on their shirts, pants and shoes.
Saving the world is a dangerous task, one that has taken hold of the heroes of TV's top new series.
When Heroes returns tonight (9 ET/PT) after a seven-week break, the season's final five episodes will focus on whether they can stop — or will be part of — the nuclear destruction of New York.
On a windy, chilly L.A. night, Arco Plaza has been remade as New York's Kirby Plaza (a tribute to comic-book legend Jack Kirby), complete with a police car, subway entrance and parking meters. An unusually large number of Heroes actors, often working in smaller groups on parallel story lines, have converged for scenes that feature gunshots, confrontations and an impressive display of superpowers.

Tonight's episode picks up in the same spot -- after a recap to help viewers remember where the assorted plots stand -- and what comes next will have fans talking tomorrow morning. New alliances are formed, a connection between the prophesied bomb blast in New York and evil Linderman (Malcolm McDowell) is established and Sylar strikes another deadly blow.

Monday night at 9, NBC
"It's time to save the world," NBC's on-air promos announced all last week. "The final five chapters of 'Heroes' begin Monday."
Well, Monday has arrived, and so has "Heroes," back after a long absence to finish its season-long story line about averting an apocalyptic disaster in New York City.
The wait has been irritating, but the first new show, presented tonight at 9, pulls you back into the narrative and propels the story forward.

April 22, 2007 -- FANS on the breakout hit "Heroes" have discovered their own superpower: Patience.
While the far-flung plot threads have had their moments of brilliance - Peter Petrelli finally flying over the skyline of New York; a sniper's bullet passing through incorporeal D.L. Hawkins - viewers have been eager to see the characters get together and act like . . . well, heroes.

'Heroes' returns: Get a video (and prose) preview here
A heads up: This preview contains several clips from Monday's new episode of "Heroes," as well as video interviews with cast members. Don't play the videos if you don't want to see (mild) spoilers.
This quote, from the closing minutes of Monday’s “Heroes” (8 p.m. Monday, WMAQ-Ch. 5), doesn’t require any spoiler alerts.
“I’m confused,” Ando (James Kyson Lee) says to his pal Hiro (Masi Oka).
I can relate. I sometimes feel a bit flummoxed when trying to figure out the relationships and connections between the various “Heroes” characters. But in the end, it’s not as though a Ph.D. in “Heroes” minutiae is necessary to enjoy the show.
Far from it. Monday’s episode is, like most of the outings from the second half of the season, is an enjoyable, fast-paced adventure ride. It is, as its creators intended it to be, a graphic novel come to life. And at this stage of the game, “Heroes” has really learned that, just as it is on the page, when it comes to an adventure tale, it’s all in the pacing. That aspect of the show was atrocious when "Heroes" began, but now the superhero-flavored stories unfold with tick-tock efficiency.

NBC Digital Launces Inside Heroes
Link: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=20319

"NBC Digital Entertainment today announced the launch of its new original web series "Inside Heroes." The eight installment series will go inside the making of "Heroes" and will begin rolling out exclusively on NBC.com on May 21st. The same day, "Heroes" Character Profiles will launch on the site as well."

[TheWarrior]

NBC has unveiled their Fall 2007 schedule and as expected, Heroes will be present with an all-new second season.

The network has also announced that during the time of a hiatus this year, Heroes will have a "spin-off" called Heroes: Origins, where a new character will be introduced each week and viewers will select which ones will be seen in Season 3. No more details about Origins have been revealed as of yet, but the combined total of episodes ordered - between 22 episodes of Heroes plus Origins - totals 30 episodes.

Hopefully NBC will explain more about what Origins actually is soon.

Heroes will remain on Monday nights at 9PM (ET). Following Heroes is a new series titled Journeyman which sounds pretty interesting, and it may be a better companion for the show than Studio 60, The Black Donnellys, or The Wedding Crashers had been.
