Tim Kring Talks Season 2, Extras on the First Season DVD, and Episode 20

“Heroes” showrunner/creator/God Tim Kring sat down with iFMagazine.com to talk about “Heroes”. Among the subject discussed was NBC’s renewing of “Heroes” for the entire second season, as well as an episode that Kring promises will be “the most talked about” of the year — which, in this case, is the still-untitled Episode 20. Says Kring about Episode 20: “This one deals specifically with the idea of time travel and it blows the doors off of a lot of what were doing with the show.”

Other topics of interest include the forthcoming Season 1 DVD box set, which Kring promises extras aplenty, including the 72-minute version of the pilot that was re-shot.

So what about Hiro and that dinosaur? Is a battle coming? Says Kring:

That�s coming up very quickly. Again, we�re trying to cleverly pay of things, and hopefully have solutions that you didn�t see coming. The writers all got an exact replica of his sword and it becomes a very big thing in the next story arc.
