Tim Kring did an interview with SuperheroHype and talked about a lot of stuff. He mentioned that season two is designed to possibly be three full story arcs, rather then one long one. There are definately looking to go places with the series.

Q: How do far do you think you are at this point?
Kring: Well, we’re obviously taking it one season at a time and I have some big ideas of what the sort of big tent pole ideas of each season, what those are, but this season we started we knew where we were going in terms of the themes and the ideas behind it, but it’s ten writers in a room for ten thousand hours talking to each other. That’s basically what it comes down to.

Q: Will Tim Sayle be involved in Season Two?
Kring: Yes, Tim will be staying involved. So, the idea of the paintings is going to have a clever sort of reentry into the show.

Q: When you say four months later does that mean that Hiro will have been in feudal Japan for four months?
Kring: No. Hiro’s story is the only one that picks up exactly where we meet him. So he’s existing on a timeframe outside of the rest of the story.

Q: Will we be seeing more of George Takei?
Kring: Yes, we will see more of George Takei.

Q: Expanding on the “Generations” title, will we see more of the story with the Petrelli’s mother and sort of this history?
Kring: The idea of “Generations,” last year we set up this sort of sense that there was this other generation represented by the Linderman character and then Petrelli’s mom and George Takei and Richard Roundtree’s character. All of these characters set up the idea that there was another generation that had secrets of their own and this season one of those themes that we’re going to talk about are the sins of the parents being visited upon the children. That’s one of the themes, this idea of how generationally we are left with problems that we have to fix.

Q: Will we find out that George Takei has powers and what they are?
Kring: Yes, eventually.

Man! Why do we have to wait so long! Arrrggg!

The Heroes cast from Season One is going on tour and they will be travelling around the world to various comic conventions. Many of the NBC Heroes cast talked about whats going on and Tim Kring himself mentioned some juicy details of Season Two and the new spin-off show Heroes: Origins.

Q: Can you talk a little about “Heroes: Origins,” the series you’re working on to sort of fill the gap with the regular series? Have you started scripting it yet?
Kring: No, not yet. We are now in the process of talking about who is going to be writing and directing them.

Q: Would it be fair to describe the show as an anthology series?
Kring: Yes. Right now that’s the idea. It will not be a continuing cast or storyline.

Q: Do you see a lot of the current cast members being in it?
Kring: Right now, no. This cast has 24 episodes which is a giant mountain of work to do already. The idea is that these are the stories of other people. The show has deposited this idea that this is happening all over the world and so this is an opportunity for us to tell some stories about some of these other people out there.

Q: Do you think all six episodes will run in one six week block between a break in the regular series?
Kring: Right now that’s the idea, yes.

Q: Can you tell us about any of the new characters we might meet?
Kring: I don’t know if that’s something I’m supposed to be talking about or not. There are a couple of new characters that will fold in and a couple of them have already been announced in the press.

Q: You have a blond hair, blue eyed guy (David Anders) playing a Samurai war lord. Can you address that?
Kring: Like with everything on “Heroes,” nothing is quite what it seems to be. That becomes a huge part of the story.

Q: Can you talk about how long Hiro will remain in the past?
Kring: For a hand full of episodes. That’s it.

More Heroes and then a spin-off show? Can it get any better then that? I don’t think so. Go to check out the rest of the interview. It’s not to be missed.

The season-one DVD set for NBC’s Heroes will be in stores on Aug. 28 and like everyone else, I’ll be running out to get a copy.

It’s going to have seven-discs packed with extras like five featurettes, over 50 deleted scenes, AND a 73-minute version of the series premiere by series creator Tim Kring. The entire set will also be available on HD DVD.

I’m wondering where the Blu-Ray set is going to be. :sad:

Still, this is going to be a big seller and a must-have for any fan.
