Tim Kring and Zachary Quinto Talk to BuddyTV
by Debbie Ford
Heroes creator Tim Kring and star Zachary Quinto took part in a conference call today and a summary has been posted at BuddyTV. Of course they remained pretty vague with most of the answers and many of the things discussed had already been revealed in previous interviews, but we did learn a few things. Here are the key points:
- Kring said the structure of season 3 will be 13 episodes in volume 3, “Villains,” and 12-episodes in volume 4 (which Kring said in another interview would be titled "Fugitives").
- All new characters introduced this season will immediately be a part of an established character’s storyline.
- In a flashback episode that will show events pre-dating the pilot, we will get to see more of pre-Sylar Gabriel Gray.
- Sylar will play a major role in volume 3 and will have "a series of very human relationships in this season.”
- Because of the way the strike changed season 2, we will not find out what happened to Peter’s Irish girlfriend, Caitlin.
- Kaito Nakamura’s power was intentionally revealed on the DVD for hardcore fans but Kring does not know when TV viewers will learn of his power.
- Quinto said he sees similarities between his Star Trek character, Spock, and Heroes villain Sylar. “There are elements of the characters that echo each other, but from opposite ends of the spectrum.” He added that both have “a stillness and a rich internal point of view that informs the way they behave.”

Yay, more connections and more Sylar backstory, even if Sylar scares me. Zach does a great job playing him.
