Fuller Interview - [SPOILERS?]

User45701

Ive only just started but the very first question has me interested again

ScFy: When it was announced you were returning to Heroes, a lot of headlines boasted you would be saving the series. Did you feel that pressure? aAnd how's that going for you?

Fuller: I didn't really feel any pressure, because I love this show, cast and crew. As an audience member, I could see the issues and why people were frustrated with it. At least I felt I was jumping on the pendulum when it was back on the upswing. To be honest, I was absolutely "I'll be right over," and they sent me the episodes that completed the "Villains" arc. After I finished watching them, I wasn't sure I could do this. I didn't recognize the show anymore. It had become something else entirely. My favorite characters had become my least favorite, and there was a second I thought I had to get out of this. Then I started reading the "Fugitives" scripts, and I thought it was picking up again. There were some stumbles along the way, where it started to get muddy, but I was more inspired.

So him complaints are very simmilar to boards hopefully he will fix these issues

In season one, you really found Claire and HRG's voices, but recently in "Cold Snap," Tracy Strauss seemed to be your new muse, except you shattered her into little fragments. Is that the last we've seen of her?

Fuller: Oh, no. There was a lot of debate over whether she's winking, but no, she's not winking. She's blinking, and a tear comes down. There was miscommunication with the visual effects, where you were only supposed to see one of her eyes. It was definitely a blink and a shedding of a tear. Tracy comes back in a really big way later on in the season. That was one of the things where it was like "Is she going to come back as Barbara now?" I was thinking "Can we please not do Barabara because that's another sci-fi ghetto storytelling element with clones. How many Ali Larters are there?" I wish there were dozens, because I'm a fan of hers, but watching Ali in the first season, you know what she's really capable of.

Where would you like to see Tracy go in the future then?

Fuller: The journey is about getting Tracy's humanity back. What she learned from her encounter with Micah/Rebel made a huge impact on her. She is going to be following that through-line the next season. There is that realization she has been approaching politics from the wrong angle. In the fourth year, Tracy will have a new perspective that may not be right, but it's more understandable than before.

Can you tease viewers about the remaining episodes this season?

Fuller: There's actually a lot of really fun character work happening in the last four episodes that the writing staff is proud of. We'll see Matt retaliate against Danko in a very interesting way. We'll also see Sylar strike at the heart of HRG's life in a way that causes things for him to unravel. The episode after that is essentially "Company Man" for Angela Petrelli, where we'll be doing a flashback to her life in 1961 and the events that happened there, which really motivates who she is now. In episode 24, we get to the heart of Sylar's identity crisis, and we clearly understand what his agenda is, what he's after and who the people in his life are that made the biggest impact. Episode 25 is our big finale.

Fingers crossed...

i dont normely read spoilers but i have allot of interest in heroes

Ive got dibs on Peter either having Arthurs power or he takes all of Sylars.

Why cant they just leave Tracy dead.

Hopefully it'll be somewhere in between.... Good interview. Very positive to know that Fuller is a fan like the rest of us, and can see what's been done badly like the rest of us.

They should cut a few more of those stupid producers that do nothing and put there salary into production values, pretty poor that they didn't even communicate properly with the CGI guys...why didn't they have them re-do it then?

Cheap b*stards!

thats true, how many of these produers have 3-4 projects going at one time, and then you have actors doubling as producers and the likes, so many areas what do all these people actually do,

good to know tracy is coming back, i like her caracter, i think the third sister should be in the final season only,

Will Barbara not be the 4th sister? (Nikki, Jessica, Tracy, Barbara)

Nikki, Tracy and Barbara are the sisters. Jessica was Nikki's sister in her adoptive family. They weren't blood related (not that Nikki knew that).
