Heroes creator boycotts show

So Tim Kring, creator of Heroes, came crawling back to his fan base on his knees while simultaneously picketing outside of the Heroes studio. Apparently he has super powers, too.

Actually, Kring is striking with the writers, but he did pour out apologizes on top of apologizes for the way the first section of Heroes turned out. In an interview with EW, the entertainment equivalent of the oracle at Delphi, he admitted to all of the flaws that Steve and I pointed out (inter-five, Steve). Among the concessions:

1) Slow start, lack of action, illegal immigrants
2) Sucky powers of the illegal immigrants
3) A soap opera within a show, taking place in Japan
4) A real creeper named West
5) Not enough Kristen Bell

Kring did assure EW and his ego that having dealt with the problems, the show would now get back to its apocalyptic roots; more action, less romance, and no more twins. Yes; Kring made some not so subtle comments, saying that a few of the new heroes would be exiting shortly. I can only hope their death is as painful as their powers.

Some important news was revealed, as Kring said that the Dec. 3 episode has been modified to act as a season finale (uh, excuse me, volume finale), in light of the writers strike. Here's to a third issue with no more high school.
