Heroes: Sneak Peak of season 3 premeire
Tim Kring showed off the first episode of the next season of NBC's Heroes at Comic-Con, and TV.com has the details.
]Of all the breakout hits of the last several years, none climbed as high as NBC's Heroes, a drama about "ordinary people with extraordinary abilities." The show has made household names out of Hayden Panettiere, Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka, and several others, and has carved out its place as one of the top--if not the top--science-fiction programs on television today.
Heroes cast at last year's Comic-Con.
At this year's Comic-Con, the Heroes panel included a special surprise. Taking the stage with a briefcase chained to his wrist, series creator Tim Kring teased the audience with a present. Kring opened the briefcase and held aloft a DVD fresh off the burner with handwriting on it indicating it was the season three premiere of the show, which isn't due to air until September.
Kring asked the audience not to say a word about the premiere to anyone else...unless they liked it. In that case, he wanted everyone to talk about the premiere and let the world know that Heroes is back "in a big way."
So, Mr. Kring, you will get your wish. On the following page (click the Recap tab above) there is a play-by-play recount of the entire first episode, with major spoilers (read at your own risk!). For those who don't want to hear every little detail that happened, some nonspoiler bullet points are below.
--The opening scene begins with Peter encountering a fellow Hero who pulls a gun on him--and it isn't who you would think it is.
--The mystery gunman who shot Nathan is revealed--and it isn't who you would think it is.
--There is a healthy dose of humor in this episode, and some the best effects ever in the series...lots of 'em. The premiere was shown in HD, and it pops off the screen. Productionwise, the premiere is just about as impressive as anything seen on television in recent memory.
--We're only introduced to one new Hero in the premiere, and he/she was previously announced.
--The show features a lot of Heroes coming together and drifting apart, and not only geographically.
--Sylar (of course) delivers the best line of the show--actually, of the series.
--A familiar face returns--and it isn't who you think it is.
--There's a big game-changer revealed in the premiere, and it should alter the series like nothing before. Comic-book purists will probably scoff, but fans of the show will enjoy it.
That's all that will be revealed in the nonspoiler section. For the details, click on the Recap tab.
All in all, the premiere was...amazing. Heroes fans will be elated, and those who jumped ship after the second season may find themselves scrambling back on board. Many Kudos to Kring and company for a healthy return...the question is: Can they keep it up?
