Heroes Back to iTunes & Stars Speak

As fans brace themselves for Heroes Season 3, several of the major players for the show have been doing their part to promote. Recently Heroes Creator Tim Kring and one of its stars, Zachary Quinto (Sylar) sat down with The Deadbolt in a revealing interview. Topics touched upon were Sylar's presence for Season 3, the concept of dysfunctional families, and lingering questions in the Heroes world.

Tim Kring on how questions will be answered:

"Some of those questions will linger a little bit. But, actually, by the end of the third hour of the show you have kind of mosted those. I mean one of the goals of this season was, because we had been off the air for - we'll have been off the air for nine months - we didn’t want to drag a lot of story behind us. We didn’t want to feel like you had to have watched two years of this show to catch up. So we wanted to answer things really quickly so that you could move forward on this volume and have a kind of clean path in front of you. So there really are not a lot of lingering questions that you carry with you from before. The goal for us, from now on with these volumes, is to try and answer literally ninety five percent of the questions that are posed in the beginning of the volume [that] will be answered by the end of the volume. This particular volume, 'Villains', is thirteen episodes long."

Milo Ventimiglia also sat down with canmag.com to discuss Heroes Season 3. In his interview, Ventimiglia sort of kicks around the same idea that Kring does, saying there's a good and bad side to each of them. Also the interview discusses the reunion of the brothers Petrelli, and a discussion of the death of characters.

Ventimiglia says:

"Villains" seems to promise more screen time for the likes of Sylar, but Ventimiglia also reminded fans that it could reveal some new sides to other characters. "I think there's definitely a light and dark side to everybody. It just depends on what kind of situation we find ourselves in to bring that out. So we're walking in shadow or walking through the light."
