Kristen Bell is an actress, but she's also a TV fan.

Therefore, she's aware of the criticism surrounding this chapter of Heroes. How does the portrayer of Elle feel about it?

Bell recently shared her thoughts in a new interview:

I think everybody deserves a get-out-of-jail-free card for last year, with the writers' strike and the nerves. No good comes out of concentrating on the bad. But I think people might be saying that because they haven't seen all of this season yet. This season is really good. It's comparable to season one—which, start to finish, I think is up there with Lost and 24 as one of the best first seasons I've ever seen.

That's what hooked me onto the show, which was why I wanted to be a part of it. Season one was just amazing. And season two may have had its bumps, but they're bringing it back now.

Come give your dad a hug.

- Arthur to Nathan in "It's Coming"

In the following clip from this Monday's Heroes episode, Nathan discovers the same secret that Peter learned two weeks ago: his father is alive.

But will Nathan suffer the same fate as his brother? Check out the video now for a preview:

Bryan Fuller made his mark on the television world as a writer during the first (amazing!) season of Heroes.

Since then, he has gone on to be the brains behind the most underrated show on TV, Pushing Daisies. Tragically, that ABC series is in danger of cancellation, but there is a silver lining: Fuller seems intent on returning to Heroes.

“Well, nothing is official, because I’m under contract with Daisies until the delivery of [Daisies' thirteenth] episode, which is in January," Fuller told IGN in a recent interview. "But I would very likely go back to Heroes and help them finish out the season and see where that takes me in the next stage.”

Bryan Fuller wrote the season one episode "Company Man." It's our favorite Heroes episode of all-time.

As for the criticism Heroes has faced over the last two years?

“The show is kind of its own entity, so the stories that they’re telling, they’re telling in different chapters," Fuller said. "So if a chapter might not be to your liking or to your taste, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the next chapter won’t be, because that’s kind of the idea – is to tell different chapters. That’s why the ‘Villains’ story is so different than ‘Fugitives’ or ‘Generations’ or ‘Genesis.’ So, they’re all so completely different that I think if you like the show, you’re going to find something to enjoy.”

Following a flashback-based episode that revealed the basis and motivation for numerous characters, let's take a look ahead on Heroes.

In the clip below, cast and crew discuss future twists and turns. Kristin from E! Online them summarizes upcoming developments...

• With Angela's mind still trapped inside her comatose body, Matt and Daphne will come to the rescue. Good thing one of them has the ability to alter one's mindset.

• Next week, a character begs for his/her death. Might another Hero satisfy this individual's wishes?

• We'll also learn next week that the formula is incomplete. Mohinder discovers a third element he refers to as "the Catalyst." Might this he an actual person, one we know very well?

We've been criticized a bit for being too negative, so allow us to say this up front: what a great episode of Heroes!

Via a series of flashbacks, it was cool to learn more about Meredith's background, about the evolution of Sylar and about the basis for the Angela vs. Arthur feud. We loved every second of it.

Catch up on "Villains" with our detailed recap and let us know if you enjoyed the episode as much as we did.
