Heroes creator Tim Kring called Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly discuss fan reaction to Season Two.
EW has titled the piece “Heroes Creator Apologizes to Fans” although nowhere in the piece is there an actual apology–and I, for one, believe it’s not necessary. Kring acknowledges some of the narrative choices made during this arc aren’t quite working:
-Claire’s creepy boyfriend
-Taking too long to get to the “big-picture story”
-Keeping Hiro in the past for so long
-And the slow introduction of new characters
While I prefer the faster-paced reveals, I’ve really enjoyed this season so far. I think people have forgotten just how slow much of last season was, often tediously slow, and the story didn’t ramp up until mid-season.
