As usual Greg Beeman's latest blog entry is chalk full of behind-the-wcenes goodness. Any dedicated Heroes fan is sure to enjoy his stories from the director's chair and the candid photos that he shares.
Quote:
Tonight?s episode is the second episode that I directed. It was, by design, a smaller episode? It follows fewer characters and goes to fewer locations than the first 5. HEROES, as you hopefully can tell, is a big and relatively expensive TV show. To balance out the big episodes, Tim Kring and the writers have planned that there will be three or four smaller, less expensive ones which, effectively, offset the costs of the big ones.
Also, truthfully, we?re still learning what stories to tell and how to tell them. Do we always need to see the whole cast in just a handful of scenes? Or should we, sometimes, concentrate on just a few of our characters and give them more intensively developed stories.
...
We also learn that Niki's alter-ego is referred to as "Jessica" by the crew.

Ali plays two characters in this episode. One, Niki, who is breaking down continuously and trying to hold it together while experiencing ever-escalating amounts of fear and trauma. Then, her alter-ego is introduced ? a cool and in-control character we call ?Jessica.?
