The last new episode aired last December, with Season Two cut short by the writer’s strike. In the spring the writers decided to concentrate on the third season, rather than jumping back into production to add a few episodes onto the second season. That time allowed creator Tim Kring and his team to evaluate the show’s “sophomore slump” and retool the series a bit.

Tim Kring, creator and executive producer of NBC’s ‘Heroes’, said that he is not afraid to answer mythology questions definitively in the upcoming third season–which will only raise more questions. Among other things, the season premiere will settle the question about Claire’s invulnerability in a scene with her and Sylar.

Some can fly, others can teleport and there are a few that we really don’t know much about. This is the mystifying adventure that is NBC’s “Heroes,” and if all the promises from the producers are to be believed, then the upcoming third year will be an action packed event indeed.
