And I think the goal for everybody is to put a face back on the drama.
You have to save something with a face; otherwise you dont understand what youre caring about.
I also started to feel confused about what peoples 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.
I share that concern with everybody on the writing staff.
Everybody knows what needs to be fixed and everybody is sort of rowing in that direction.
Your work starts with episode 19, yes?Yes.
Im fortunate to be coming into a very exciting story line.
It really is a fresh start.
All of the characters are back in their real lives.
You see Peter as a paramedic.
Claire is looking for colleges.
We get away from the world of formulas and quasi-magic.
Are the Fugitives episodes leading up to 19 solid?Yes.
Episodes 14, 15 and 16 are amazing.
Thats the path that were taking.
But it is a big ship so its going to take a little while to turn it.
Any plans to trim the sprawling cast?People will die.
And some will return.
Matts wife [Janice] comes back.
Well find out what happens when you have a superbaby.
Were also going to tell fewer stories per episode.
Will you be part of the show next season?Thats the idea.
She was so instrumental in [setting] the tone and style of the show in the first season.
She is as vital a piece as any of the players on the show at this moment.
Her contribution cant be undervalued.
Itll be very interesting to see how things shake out.
Whats your working relationship with series creator Tim Kring been like since returning?Its actually been very positive.
Who gets final say: you or Tim?Tim.
But Fugitives is such a great sea change.
I think people who have been critical ofHeroeswill come back.
