Speaking in an interview with Comic Book Resources, series creator Tim Kring discussed the significance of a few events in the season finale of the show as well as shed some light on the first "Heroes" spinoff project.

"We just have branched into a new spinoff, ‘Origins,’ that's really like a whole new kind of animal," Kring said in the interview. "Hopefully that will be something that takes off and will allow us to broaden the franchise a bit. So, I'm still here and plan to stay here."

According to Kring, the spinoff project has been given a six-episode pickup by NBC and will be made up of standalone episodes which focus on characters who have yet to be introduced into the main "Heroes" show. But the real difference about this show is it will have a direct impact on what people see on "Heroes" in Season 2, he said. Apparently, viewers will have the option to decide which "Origins" character makes the jump to "Heroes."

Although Kring will find his talents in a little bit more demand with the spinoff series, he insists that it will in no way impact the quality of "Heroes" and he has no plans to pick up his sandbox toys and run anytime soon.

"There's a true collaborative spirit on ‘Heroes,’" Kring explained. "I realized very early on the only way to mount a show that was this gargantuan and this complicated was to get into the row boat with like-minded and creative people and all try to row in the same direction. So, I've surrounded myself with so many brilliant writers and creative directors. Real visionaries. A lot of my show running style is to delegate quite a bit and I really feel like there is a kind of collective brain that starts to form when you give up the reigns a little bit."

The first season of the series, which has been called "Genesis," was designed specifically to lead up to the events of "How To Stop An Exploding Man." However due to the complicated nature of the seasonal arc the episode was incredibly challenging to write.

"The final episode was so pre-determined by the events that came before it that writing it was a very complicated thing," Kring said. "You were dragging so much story behind you that you had very little wiggle room as to what people could say and how they could say it and what their attitudes were. It was all pre-determined. We looked at the last three episodes as kind of one big movie starting with episode 21, following our departure episode where we went five years in to the future. The final three episodes really are just one big episode."

Aside from bringing all of the seasonal arc together into a neat bundle, what Kring aimed to do with the last episode is take the series back to the beginning. Particularly, concerning the connection between Sylar and the common cockroach.

"It's talked about in the very beginning of the pilot. One of the lines was that a cockroach could remain alive headless for weeks at a time, which a cockroach can do - a fact I always found amazing!" Kring said with a laugh. "So, this idea that we just watched this guy die and clearly somehow dragged himself into a manhole is exactly the signal that perhaps this character is still alive."
