'Heroes' star defends second season

Heroes star Adrian Pasdar has dismissed fan criticism of the show's second season.

The actor, who plays politician Nathan Petrelli, said the shortened second run would "make sense" in the grand scheme of the show. Creator Tim Kring had previously conceded that several plotlines were too long-winded and had underserved the audience.

"We had to get through that to get to where we're going to go this year," Pasdar told DS. "I think we've found our footing again."

Co-star Milo Ventimiglia said that his character - Nathan's all-powerful brother Peter - would be a walking dichotomy in season three. "I think Peter's going to be exploring many sides to his psyche," he said. "You're going to see a side of him that you're going to love and embrace, and you're going to see a side of him that you're going to hate."
