Tim Kring Explains Heroes Volume 2 Finale

After Volume 2 Finale, Tim Kring gave an interview to TvGuide about Heroes Volume 2 “Generations”…
The fate of Nathan, who was shot during a TV press conference, and of Niki, who may have died in an abandoned building explosion, are “up in the air and will be determined when we come back after the strike,” Kring says. “Things are fairly dire for them both.” Immortal Adam was teleported by Hiro (Masi Oka) into a coffin buried in the same Japanese cemetery where his father Kaito (George Takei), who was slain by Adam, is also buried. “It’s poetic justice to have Adam end up in the same graveyard as Kaito,” Kring notes. “We’ve given the audience no reason to believe that Adam can figure a way to get out of there. The fact that he can live forever makes this the most gruesome of internments. If this happened to any of us, at least we’d know we’d soon have the mercy of death. Not here.”
Witchy, bitchy Elle, who wound up saving the lives of Mohinder (Sendhil Ramamurthy), Maya (Dania Ramirez) and little Molly (Adair Tishler), clearly sparked when Mohinder called her a hero. “Kristen Bell gave us the perfect reaction in that scene,” Kring says. “For a moment there, Elle sees she’s been given an opportunity to use her powers in a good way. And she absolutely likes the sound of that word ‘hero.’” Not to worry. There are plenty more baddies coming after the writers’ strike concludes. In fact, the title of Volume 3 — “Villains” — says it all.
“Sylar getting his power back does not bode well for our heroes,” says Kring, who admits there is one upside to the writers’ strike: Originally, Quinto was not going to be available for much of Volume 3 because of his commitment to the new Star Trek film. Now, with the strike dragging on, he’ll likely be done playing young Spock by the time Heroes returns to production.

3.she wasn’t shocked by the news and was talking about how it had to be done.
BUT she told the person on the phone
“Do you know what YOU have done? You just released Pandora’s Box”

Those people who says they’re disappointed with the ending and all random stuff are still going to watch season and like it =P And then probably come up with some bad to say about that ending as well…
Well, never mind that…I think we will get pretty good answers on things in season 3. At least I hope so. For example, filling gaps as someone already mentioned, and tell us more about that chick who met up with Ted…is it just me or what? Where did she go? The woman who could access Internet without connection and stuff. Maybe not the most important thing but yeah, you get my point…there’s a lot of things they need to clear up in season 3.
And about Adam teaming up with Sylar, I bet he Sylar would only try to kill and get Adam’s powers anyway.

I think it could be a future version of Peter. Who as come back to save the special ones. Because in a possible future Nathan declaring that there are people with powers causes pandamonium ( i think i spelt it right) And the special ones will get hunted down and killed.
Or it could be an interesting way to introduce Mr Petrelli.
Which ever it is a i am loving the show. Its amazing, if the ride every ends ( which i hope it doesn’t ) the end will be big. Every one is tending to forget that. How hard is it for a tv show to top the finale of the season before. Its hard so to build gradully to a big end is a lot better.

“And about Adam teaming up with Sylar, I bet he Sylar would only try to kill and get Adam’s powers anyway.”
I agree.
Why would Sylar just dig him up and say lets join together and kill all the heroes? When he could dig him up and take his powers. Also I do not think that Adam is coming back. If he does then he will just die by getting shot in the head.
Anyways I loved that Episode

Anyone noticed the close up picture of the burning 9th wonder comic? Monica is holding the twisted blade that can be seen in the background scene of the papertech vault. It’s in one of the glass cabinets behind Matt.

Mrs. Petrelli said that the only way to kill Adam/ Peter is to shoot them in the head or cut it off, but in season one sylar try to cut off peter’s head to eat his brain but it regenerated. Do you think it is a continuity mistake?
Azn
…also peter got a piece of glass stuck in his head, from sylar in season one, he did die but when the glass was pulled out peter regenerated, so technically they can’t really die even if they were shot in the head. Also, their heads wouldn’t be able to be chopped off so that is also out of the question

I don’t think that some kind of “Future Char” shot Nathan, because I don’t think that Angela would then talk to him on the phone. A “Future Char” would’nt either just walk out, but “beam” out.
I don’t think that Adam would join Sylar, because Sylar wants Adam’s ability too badly…
I’m not even sure that HRG killed Nathan becaue in the Scenes ahead he was with his family, so how could he get there so fast?
I hope they get started season 3 very soon. Pity, that we just had 11 episodes, there could have been so much more stuff to fill in.
I hope the title “Villains” doesn’t include Sylar that much, I mean, how many people is he supposed to kill`? They HAVE to intruduce new Heroes Sylar can kill. On the other Hand I don’t think that the producers want to make Sylar too mighty… I wonder if he’s aorund for a longer time…
by the way: I hate useless’ Maya and Alejandro, they remind me of useless’ Nikki and Paolo from Lost :@
Ron
I’m definitely agreeing with the vibe about Season 2. We didn’t really get the answers that Tim Kring was talking about last season as well as the ones from this season.
Why didn’t we get to see Arthur. They kept “showing” him via a blurred turned face making us anxious to see him but then they didn’t. The volume was called generations, if there ever was a volume to show his face or even mention something about him it was Volume II.
We actually know more from the graphic novel than the actual series.
In the graphic novel we learnt Arthur Petrelli was in the army with Mr. Linderman. While in the series we didn’t learn jack about Arthur, well we learnt he was in a group of 12 in the company, which is kind of useless if you ask me. I have no problem with the whole secrecy of Arthur, but I just hate the whole build up to nothing in Volume II.
But at least Tim Kring did admit to his mention about the pace of Volume II, I only hope that Volume III is much more consistient.

I think I remember that Sylar grabbed her, but I read somwhere that her mind flew into the Web so Sylar couldn’t get her ability—
But I#m not a 100 percent sure about that one.-..
Ron
I agree, I don’t see how Adam could survive if he didn’t have any oxygen. I know he’s invicible but even he needs oxygen.
But I disagree about Noah being the shooter, I just don’t see him as the shooter, it aslo seems to “simple” and doesn’t compliment to the writers complex style.
Even though as crazy as it sounds, I do see someone from the future shooting Nathan. It wouldn’t be the first time someone came from the future & we have already seen what happened when the general public found out about those with special abilities.
The shadowy figure could even be a new villian, maybe someone working for the company.
Just a comment about “Powerless”, I think they tried to cram too much content into that episode, which is why it felt so short. And definitely agree that Nathan & Hiro were a bit out of character & was probably due to writers strike. This was probably the reshoot that was mentioned a couple of weeks ago. I hope they put the unaltered ‘Powereless’ on DVD, I would definitely watch that.
soopafly
omg no ali = -33% hotness like i said
but this episode was great
hope Niki found a way out lol
Nathan, damnit, I think Peter will find Claire, tell her about Nathan, and get some blood, maybe she sees it on the TV
adam locked up
the real sylar back, elle is a hero
can’t wait man shit
Some Random Dude
@Zexy and KiddyB: That Wi-fi chick died in space and her remains scattered through the web. We see this in the comic.
I would have liked to see the virus shatter and them continuing on to Exodus had there not been a writers’ strike. However, this storyline is very interesting too. I don’t like how Maya and Sylar’s storyline is weakly weaved into the bigger picture but hey, not much they could have done there unless they stop the story during the writers’ strike and continue afterwards. Surely though we would probably end up forgetting much of the plot had they done that.
PS. I hope Nathan doesn’t die. This relationship with Peter helped saved the world…twice =) …even though Peter was the cause both times. =/
melei
okay I freezed framed it this is my theroy. Who did not want to be exposed? Wes, my thinking is Noah HRG went to him since HRG is back in the company and since Wes is the only one to make it there in time he was the one who shot Nathan. Problem solved no leak and Wes is happy leading his hidden life. Now that is just my idea.
Peter can’t heal anyone only himself, it was Adam who healed Nathan the first time around and without Claires blood, nope. Pandora’s box is Peter because he will be ticked. Yeah Sylar is alive and kicking next for him will be Maya, the Claire…..lol
Also don’t feel fully satisfied, epis. 10 shattered, inconsistent - i think it’s to many plots badly led. Overall I think the first volume much better, even though the amount of tv drama (noah and family; micah etc…) was quite significant.
The mexican pair take part -> racial and social tolerance dudes, political correctness above all! Pity she can’t focus/limit ability to one person.
Anyway I respect the series - never miss an episode.
What happens to Peter’s chick if there is no virus? hmm
Noah’s girl is immortal too, she’s gonna live through, unless they chop her head off first.
I guess shooting immortals heads off kills the brain, so its healing activity (guess it’s coming from brain is gone). Peter’s skull wasn’t fully cut in the first series.
The gangsta plot was rather slowing down the whole thing.
Just bit more fight with use of abilities would be just fine.
Traffic lights can be controlled through mobile.
Killer may have just been a company’s assasin.
Wonder what all these objects from the vault were.
Cheeeeers!!!
HeroesFan!!!
It couldn’t have been Mr. Petrelli, he died of a heart attack or something in season 1 and Nathan took over as Linderman’s attorney early on cause of that remember?
Unless Linderman went to primatech and got blood from Adam to give to Mr. Petrelli and then kept him somewhere just for this moment to shoot his son, i doubt it
Also, the press conference was in Odessa is i remember right and took place after the Primatech Paper thing
We dunno how much time passed between Noah leaving to go back to the company and the Primatech Paper assault, and we dunno how much time passed between the assault and the press conference, so we can’t rule out Noah as the shooter
Pai
im just wondering how hiro and adam end up in the coffin at first, before hiro teleport back again. isnt the small space in that coffin make them in contact and it might be hard for hiro to teleport back alone? weird.. unless when they arrive in that coffin, hiro stops time giving him some privacy to teleport back without touching adam.
heheh, whatever it is, hiro is bad-ass! hahahah!

Ernie Oporto I think you are wrong about some things.
Adam MIGHT get out but it is not likely.
and Niki is dead she can’t use her powers
