Heroes Goes Deep In Season 3

Tim Kring, creator and executive producer of NBC's Heroes, told SCI FI
Wire that the upcoming third season will take the show and its
characters in entirely new directions--including deep into the
backstory.

"One of the things that this volume is going to do that, I think, is
really going to be fun for the audience is that there were very
initial sort of primal questions that the show asked," Kring said in
an interview at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, Calif., on June
24, where he accepted an award for best television DVD. "Who am I?
What's happening to me? How am I connected? Where are these powers
coming from? All of those questions get reframed and turned on their
head in a very interesting way in this volume."

As with the previous two seasons, the third will be divided up into
volumes. The first is titled "Villains" and will focus on the nature
of good and evil, Kring said.

"You're going to see a lot of bad guys in this one," Kring said. "The
idea, also, is we're playing off the idea of our characters as heroes
or villains. So it's really the duality of good and evil. ... We're
playing off of this duality of good and evil. All of our characters
were given these powers and possess these powers, and at some point it
becomes sort of free will and human nature as to what you're going to
do with that. And all of us are given the choice to make decisions
that lead us down very dark paths or towards heroic ends. And so,
literally, every one of our characters gets faced with that dilemma."

Kring also said that the popular villain Sylar (Zachary Quinto) will
continue to be an integral part of the show in the third season.
Quinto had originally been written out of the last half of the second
season due to his shooting schedule on the upcoming Star Trek film.
But because of the writers' strike, that part of the story was pushed
into the third season, and Sylar was written back in.

"Well, we have no plans of saying goodbye to Sylar right now," Kring
assured fans. "I mean, that was yet another silver lining for the
strike, was Zach Quinto's availability to us in the third volume. I
mean, that was a huge thing for us to be able to have him back. As you
guys know, he would have disappeared for a large chunk of the second
half of season two. And so, for us, it was a big, big deal."

The third-season premiere of Heroes is scheduled to air on Sept. 22.
(NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)

There was only one: Genesis.

However, some people (especially Heroes Wiki, at least originally - I
notice they don't do this any more) divide S1 into parts based on the
catch phrase from the ads. Thus:

Episodes 1 - 5 = "Ordinary People Discovering Extraordinary Abilities".
Episodes 6 - 11 = "Save The Cheerleader, Save the World".
Episodes 12 - 18 = "Are You On The List?".
Episodes 19 - 23 = "It's Time to Save the World".

Of course, these are not "official" volumes...they are a convenient
means to group the episodes.

He's obviously not listening to what the majority of viewers are saying
then.

He didn't say Sylar was popular with the ~fans~ - he could be popular
with the writers.

What I find interesting is how certain people think that because they don't
like a show or character, it means no one else does either.

Popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. We aren't *supposed* to
like Sylar. He's the villain, for crying out loud!

I think that those who say they don't like Sylar actually don't like the
portrayal of Sylar.

I am actually saying it after hanging around several online Heroes forums
as well as the general reaction on the newsgroups.

I like good entertaining villains, Hiro's nemesis for example (can't even
remember his name). Sylar however is simply boring and poorly acted.

Exactly, well somewhat, I think he's poorly written as well.

Um...Sylar was Hiro's nemesis.

I don't know, some of it wasn't bad. But it was uneven at best, and I
rather disliked the attempt to humanize him by introducing his mother in an
attempt to show why he was the way he was.

In season one, for a period, yeah, but over all, he was everyone's Nemesis,
more Peter & Claire than Hiro other than for maybe 3 episodes.

In Season 2 however, Adam/Kensai was his Nemisis, and I suspect that who
was being refered to.

There is a difference between dislike the character and the actor. I
didn't thin Jayne was too likeable on Firefly, but Baldwin did in well.
Now i think guy who plays sylar comes across as unplesant, so i shall
look forward to the day he retires from 'acting'

Oh, Adam. Yeah, I guess he would qualify too. He made a better one than
Sylar anyway.

You mean the actor is unpleasant? I don't care what the actor is like, as
long as he can act. But then, I'm not the one who has to put up with him,
his fellow cast members are. :P

His name escaped my memory there until after I posted, of course. I
think Adam certainly qualifies as a nemesis.

Is "unpleasant" the new euphemism for "gay"?

But I don't think he can. He's just being himself (apart from the brain
eating part)
