Fuller bashes 'Heroes: Villains'

Returning Heroes writer Bryan Fuller has taken a swipe at 'Villains', the current volume of the show.

Fresh from his stint on the recently-axed Pushing Daisies, Fuller told Entertainment Weekly that the show recently "became too dense and fell into certain sci-fi trappings. For instance, in the 'Villains' arc, when you talk about formulas and catalysts, it takes the face off the drama."

"I thought the 'Villains' arc started out very interestingly, and then became sort of muddy and dense and I couldn't get my hooks into the characters to understand their motivations," Fuller continued. "I also started to feel confused about what people's abilities were. One of the great things about the first season is that the metaphor for their abilities was very clear. Those metaphors seem to have gotten complicated in the past two seasons."

Fuller, who wrote several acclaimed first season episodes of Heroes, confirmed that his work will be seen on the current season from the 19th episode onwards.
