After a seven-week break, NBC’s Heroes returns tonight for the first of its final five episodes of the season.
USA Today has a solid overview of the series, plus some insights from creator Tim Kring, who promises that questions will be answered as we move toward the season finale. “This is the culmination,” he says, “the payoff.”
“We’ve certainly learned from Lost,” Kring tells the newspaper. “But we’re a very different show. They started with a central mystery. We didn’t.”
In case the hiatus has left you a little forgetful, USA Today provides a handy rundown of where we last left the characters. Or, if you really need to catch up on Heroes, you could just go to the website, where all 18 episodes are available.
And while you’re gearing up for tonight — the show airs at 9 Eastern/Pacific on NBC — others will be placing their bets on which character will die in the season’s remaining episodes. Gambling911.com reports the scenarios for which odds are being offered.
