Kring Apologizes
To HEROES Fans!!

I am – Hercules!!

“The message is that we've heard the complaints,” “Heroes” mastermind Tim Kring tells Entertainment Weekly’s Jeff Jensen, “and we're doing something about it.”

In a piece posted to EW.com this morning, Kring tallies up a list of season-two sins – the pace was too slow, Hiro should have spent much less time in the distant past, the introduction of the Herreras was awkward, Peter should have seen the virus-ravaged future in 2.1, and more – and promises to do better.

Read all of Jensen’s piece here.
