Though he is a "Company Man," he deeply cares for his family and will do anything to protect them, particularly his adopted daughter Claire, and puts their safety above all else. However, he and his associates have actually traveled the world for a number of years investigating superhuman phenomena and tracking down people with these "gifts." Bennet claims that he assists them in learning to use their powers, although a flashback conversation between him and Thompson reveals that he knows his job is morally questionable and that it will often produce unintended consequences in one episode, he plainly states that he is comfortable with being morally gray. "I feel a little remorse that I think a lot of people didn't understand that it was supposed to wrap up when it did.At first glance, Noah Bennet appears to be an ordinary businessman who works at the Primatech Paper Company and lives in Odessa, Texas, with his wife and two children. "I really loved the idea that was a thirteen-episode event series, and when it was over, it was over," Kring told AssignmentX. Heroes Reborn's failure to impress could give you good reason to doubt Kring's postmortem assessment of Heroes, but he thinks the poor reception to Heroes Reborn has less to do with the show's quality and more to do with audience expectation. We were one of the most streamed shows, one of the most DVRed shows, sold millions of DVDs." Kring claimed the problem was that in 2010, there was no way to count the viewers who chose non-traditional ways to watch Heroes, but that by 2015 NBC was convinced to greenlight Heroes Reborn. "We were the most downloaded show on television the year that we were canceled. "We had a very big audience out there that was not watching in a traditional way," Kring said. He said the problem was that Heroes' low ratings weren't an accurate gauge of its viewership. Instead of ending the first half of a season (as was originally intended), the strike forced Heroes to retool season 2's 11th episode as a season finale.Ĭontrary to the numbers, Kring claimed Heroes' fourth season was a spectacular success. The EW article predicts things would be looking up for the show, but calls season 2 "a wash." Because of the strike, the storytelling course-correct was too little, too late. Among other things, Kring felt the pace was too slow and that the season's threatening Armageddon took too long to be introduced. He also gave reasons for season 2's underperformance. "Yes, I'm picketing my own show," he told EW. In fact, Heroes creator Tim Kring was on the picket line when he called Entertainment Weeklyto discuss the show's 15 percent rating decline. Bones of contention included compensation for internet content, DVD residuals, and whether the WGA would have jurisdiction over writers of animated entertainment and/or reality shows. They totally would.įrom late 2007 to early 2008, members of the Writers Guild of America went on strike over stalled contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. It was eventually revealed Nikki and Tracy were two of three identical triplets, an explanation so lame they probably wouldn't even try it in a comic boo - no, they would. Fans speculated Nikki had survived and was altered somehow, but no. The new character was Tracy Strauss and instead of Nikki's super strength, Tracy exhibited the power to create and manipulate ice. The actress playing Nikki, Ali Larter, appeared as someone completely different in season 3. Nikki was caught in an exploding building in Heroes' season 2 finale. What was much more jarring was the death of Nikki Sanders and a strange resurrection that wasn't really a resurrection.
The return of Peter was given much more weight, and the reveal acted as the episode's surprise conclusion. In the case of Nathan, the fact that he'd survived a nuclear explosion wasn't even treated as particularly strange. Yet the second season premiere, "Four Months Later.," resurrected both brothers.
The first season finale, "How to Stop an Exploding Man," ended with Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar) flying his brother Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) as high as he could, after which Peter's radioactive build-up caused him to explode.
