Interview with Tim Kring

[O h a y a r i]

So, Gaia finally got a GOOD interview (IMO). For those who don't know, Tim Kring is the creator of the amazing Heroes tv series. I honestly cannot wait for Monday. Even though i get my wisdom teeth out this thursday and i am going to be in pain.

Discuss:
How bad getting all 4 wisdom teeth out sucks
Your opinion of Heroes

Done spoonfeeding, think of other relevant topics

I watched the first three volumes of Heroes. And I thought it was fail, so...I stopped watching.

But at least Kring has a good sense of humor, and helped Lindelof and Cuse write this gem of a joke at the Comic-Con Lost panel.


My mouth fit all my wisdom teeth, although they removed two eventually since they kept getting cavities. But they were already grown in so it wasn't a huge deal. I imagine getting them all taken out suck though! mad P:  

[Serious Erius]

Show gradually went to s**t...
This Erius does not care anymore, especially since he lacks wisdomteeth. razz

Yeah...  

[Taeryyn]

Such a good idea for a show, such promise. And then... gonk ...a whole lot of "what the ******** love Sylar. I still watch the show online sometimes.

Dental work scares the hell out of me. =x  

[wakusei]

It was like Sylar's awesomeness was holding the show so they had to constantly change him around so he'd fit in every plot premise... sweatdrop  

[pickle relish]

I hated the way the ended the third season. I mean, I don't like Nathan that much, but....gah! I was angry that they killed him off and replaced him with Sylar/Nathan. Apparently everyone keeps forgetting Claire's blood CURES EVERYTHING.*spoiler alert!*  

[invisible-weirdo]

There are so many gaps in my watching of Heroes..

But I have to agree with Tae. The show has so much potential and yet....*sigh* Oh well. I still like it though.

I love Hiro. Yup. (As I've said so many times before, he's like a teddy bear!)

Also, I don't like Claire anymore. At first I did, but now, no. I think (for me at least) with Claire, it's like what happened with Thirteen from House; They made her waaaay too important/started focusing on her so much that I just don't like her anymore. But then again, that's just me.

And that potential for such a premise really paid off! ...When they called it X-Men.


ANYWAY. Back when I watched the show I remember being kinda confused with the Claire blood thing. Like, Peter and Sylar should have the same special blood...right? Since they absorbed Claire's ability? So like, when Nathan was all crispy in season two why couldn't Peter heal him? Why'd he need Adam?

Also, why are eclipses all special with giving and taking away powers? Especially if the powers have to do with genetics? And how effective are eclipses worldwide since an eclipse can only be seen in full at certain locations. Most people would see only a partial eclipse or no eclipse at all.  

[O h a y a r i]

Simple answer Waku: Claire's ability isnt a "healing" factor, its Rapid Cellular Regeneration. It's on the CELLULAR level, its not something she can use on others.  

[wakusei]

Wait, what? So Claire's blood doesn't heal anyone?  

[pickle relish]

They gave her blood to Noah after he got shot in the eye, and he healed...  

[O h a y a r i]

Yes, her BLOOD. Blood contains CELLS. Rapid CELLULAR Regeneration. This wouldnt apply to peter though, since it isnt permanent.  

[wakusei]

But if Peter absorbed her power, then wouldn't that mean he CELLULARLY regenerates. So shouldn't his blood be just as spiffy? That's what I was asking.  

[O h a y a r i]

He would regenerate like Claire yes, but i DONT think it would affect his blood composition. I correct myself, you are right, his blood should have the same properties.
