Heroes??

When is season premiere? I heard there will be 13 episodes but don't know yet when it starts.

Lest anyone panic, the 13 episodes aren't Season 3, they're Volume 3, originally scheduled to be the back half of Season 2. Volume 4 will be the back half of Season 3.

Then when would be the "front half" of Season 3?

From a recent NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/21/arts/television/21hero.html?ref=television):

“That turned out to be a very, very smart decision,” Mr. Kring said. With the germ outbreak story line gone, there was never a question that “Heroes” would not come back, as many series did, for an abbreviated run last spring after the strike ended. Instead the show’s creative team immediately began to plan for the coming season, which, thanks to the extra time, will now be extra long (25 episodes instead of 22), broken into two sections (O.K., volumes) both running straight through, week after week.

The new season will begin with two episodes back to back from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sept. 22, following an hourlong special that is some kind of red-carpet pseudo-premiere party (it won’t actually be a party held on premiere night) with stars doing interviews about their characters. Mr. Kring said he was so confident that the new volume would restart the series successfully that he didn’t even feel the need to elaborately recap what has gone before.

“We are not dragging a lot of story behind us,” he said. “It you started cold, I think you could pick up the thread. That is the goal from here on out.”

Then when would be the "front half" of Season 3?Volume 3. What he's saying is that "Volume 3" isn't the whole of Season 3.
