the TV addict recently had the opportunity to discuss NBC?s fall hit HEROES with creator and executive producer TIM KRING. Not having the unique ability to read Tim?s mind, this TV addict actually had to ask questions verbally (damn my lack of superpowers!). So here it goes, a conversation with the mastermind behind HEROES.

Congratulations on officially being picked up for a full season. Now that the show is guaranteed to run for twenty-two episodes, has this changed anything in terms of the HEROES story-line?

Tim Kring: Obviously it is a lot more fun and comfortable to be working in an environment where you?re a hit and have a full season to stretch your wings. But the truth is, that we?re so many episodes ahead of where the audience is, it just feels like the same challenges every single day.

With the pick-up official, how many seasons does the HEROES story go?

Tim Kring: We have a general idea of where the story is going for a few years. HEROES is the kind of thing that can keep spinning and spinning. There is not an island to get off of or a time frame where the world ends.

We have the entire story-line plotted out for season one. In terms of season two, we have a framework, but nothing specific. The pilot introduced a prophecy which will take the entire season to unravel. At the end of season one, there will be a resolution to the pilot?s prophecy. Season two will deal with an entirely new issue.
