Heroes Season 2, Eposide 7 Spoilers - Out of Time

This Heroes Spoilers update is dedicated to the people of California who experienced the firestorm of 2007 - thousands left homeless and hundreds of thousands temporarily evacuated, and also the Heroes Spoilers Blog heroes - the firefighters who flooded in from around the country to help out. Time for a real-life-based Heroes TV show fire-suppressor hero.

Now on to the spoilers for Heroes episode 7 of season 2, appropriately entitled, "Out of Time". As usual, Heroes spoilers ahead so if you don't want to time shift to the future stop reading now ... blah ... blah ... tada.

Heroes Spoilers Picture Generations

(Out of Time Too)

On to "Out of Time" spoilers... as the season 2 story starts to pick up, time becomes of interesting importance. Moving around time like Hiro and later on, Takezo Kensei appears in another timeline, as the adventures in ancient Japan storyline works its way to its conclusion. Later in the season Hiro returns and Ando has a romantic interest home in Japan. In "Out of Time", a character is out of time, like maybe the end of the Maya and Alejandro story. Not really, but the Heroes spoilers blog base of readers has never warmed to them, much less Heroes fandom in general. Nevertheless they will play important roles as the direction of Heroes season 2 becomes clearer.

Talking about the future of Season 2, mostly "Out of Time" refers to the glimpse into the future provided by Peter. The human race is out of time as the super-virus intensifies. Billions must die. In an eerie parallel with this week in California, Heroes' New York is evacuated. Time to save the world... again.

The ominous Heroes spoilers preview clip predicts 93% of the world's population dies:



A Heroes spoilers blog shout out to our friend ...er mole at TV Guide (really, actually ... or maybe a clever PR guru) who tipped us off that a Heroes cover story is set to hit the newsstands in a couple of weeks. They are pulling out the stops, with four different covers circulated. In the past when TV Guide did this the article provided some spoilers ... we'll see.

As usual, NBC TV released a Heroes spoilers press release with a fair share of hints, glimpses, and misdirection, on the future, "Out of Time":
WHILE SEVERAL HEROES FACE OFF AGAINST THE "NIGHTMARE MAN,” PETER LEARNS JUST HOW DEADLY THE VIRUS CAN BE -- When one of his forgotten abilities suddenly manifests, Peter and Caitlin get thrown into a crisis situation, and learn first-hand just how deadly the mysterious virus striking people with abilities can be.

Might that be time travel to the bleak future and then back to the past to change the future and save the world?
Suresh, Matt, Nathan, Niki and Bob band together to fend off the "nightmare man’s" attack.

Matt the Mindreader spoilers: Like father like son.
Despite Claire’s best efforts to keep them apart, West learns that the man who kidnapped him as a child is her father.

Nick and Noah Heroes Spoilers: Collision course.
Meanwhile, in feudal Japan, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Kensei’s (David Anders) legendary journey takes a dramatic, final turn.

Then, back to the future.

Heroes Fight Or Flight Spoilers - S2Ep.5

Time for the Heroes Spoilers Blog for Heroes Season 2, Episode 5 - Fight Or Flight. Often imitated, never surpassed. Sooooo, as usual, don't read any further unless you want to know the future of Heroes TV on NBC ... blah ... blah ... and blah.

"Fight or Flight" is an appropriate title where the Heroes super Heroes decide whether to stand ground or run. First, some Heroes clues-spoilers-speculation from "Kindness of Strangers" - Heroes Episode 4.

"He is the Nightmare Man" - Molly Walker about Matt the mind reader's father.

(Need help, Sylar?)

In Kindness of Strangers, we learned that Monica, Micah's super-hero cousin will never get a promotion, but also is a super replicator. And, Micah, he is great friend - comes with premium cable. Sylar has been reborn; gaining the confidence of the brother and sister duo, he will follow them across THE border back to the U.S.A. Sylar's calling card is a cockroach. Claire is a self-deprecating "cheap date" to the Hollywood sign with West, finally.

(Cleaning up)

Matt, Nathan, Molly, Angela Heroes Spoilers Clues: Angela Petrelli confesses to killing Kaito Nakamura, but Matt the mind reader thinks she is lying - but she might actually be truthful. Angela is desperate - for Nathan to leave and keep his family safe, but also to keep the police from investigating further. She knows something bad is about to happen. Creepy Molly the Heroes detector lays the Heroes Season 2 bombshell - the nightmare man is Matt's long-lost thieving dad - apparently not Bob the balding company man, who turns metal into gold. He leaves Molly in shock after penetrating her mind.

Now for Fight or Flight Heroes Spoilers: The Heroes season 2 theme of gathering together all the Heroes super-heroes together from great distances continues. Matt takes flight to Philadelphia for a confrontation with dad the nightmare man Heroes anti-hero. Matt's father, like Matt, can get into the mind of other people. However, his ability is more developed and dangerous. While Matt can only read minds, his father can do damage when he gets in. That is why Molly is so scared of him, and one reason Angela Petrelli wants Matt to "let it go".

Elle Spoilers: Kristen Belle makes her debut on Heroes as Elle - a Company operative in search of Peter in Ireland. The NBC Heroes spoilers trailer aired in the U.S. has her debut:



The Canadian Heroes spoilers trailer has some great shots of Nathan burned, and the aftermath of an attack by Matt's dad, the Nightmare Man.


The official NBC episode summary highlight's Kristin Bell's debut:

SEARCHING FOR A LOST HERO, ELLE (GUEST STAR KRISTEN BELL) MAKES A SHOCKING DEBUT IN IRELAND -- In Ireland, a lost Hero attempts to move beyond the past, but discovers that a mysterious woman -- Elle (guest star Kristen Bell) -- is willing to kill to find him.

RIP lovable Irish gangster.
Matt (Greg Grunberg) and an unexpected ally fly to Philadelphia to hunt down the "boogyman," following his terrible attack on Molly (guest star Adair Tishler), but the pair finds themselves outmatched.

Fly air Nathan.
Monica (Dana Davis) tries to come to terms with her new abilities and her role as a local hero.

The Heroes spoilers are that her abilities were "activated" by the arrival of her cousin Micah, just like Hiro's arrival in ancient Japan activated Takezo Kensei's. Now Monica is a piano virtuoso - an ability sponge.
Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) meets his new partner and gets a disturbing assignment. H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) takes a step to further protect his family. Meanwhile, as Hiro (Masi Oka) continues to fix the past in feudal Japan, Ando (James Kyson Lee) attempts to piece together historically what's happened to his best friend.

Finally NBC TV leaked six minutes of Heroes videos spoilers for Fight or flight, including Suresh and Matt spoilers, killer Elle (Kristen Bell) confronts gangster Heroes spoilers, Monica, Micah (got cable?) and Nana spoilers, and Peter opens the box ... almost...

Heroes Videos Update

This is a Heroes videos update for Kindness Of Strangers, Heroes season 2, Ep. 4. Follow the link to our earlier spoilers post for this episode.

Following recent pattern, NBC has leaked several Heroes spoilers containing videos. The new video clips are not terribly informative, but show the development of three of the story lines:

  • Angela / Nathan Petrelli Heroes Spoilers: Angela still is in police custody and confesses to Nathan that she has done a lot of terrible things in her life. Nathan is skeptical that Angela killed Hiro's dad, Kaito Nakamura. Angela cannot avoid being a caring mother, advising Nathan he has to get go into detox rehab in order to re-gain the confidence and trust of his family. Best line: "Just because you shaved doesn't mean you are clean and sober". Go mamma.

  • Bennett Family Spoilers Video: Noah (H.R.G.) and Sandra Bennett, and Mr. Muggles the super-power dog are discussing how difficult Claire's life is and wondering whether she has a boyfriend. The twist, of course, the Claire comes in, worried she is headed into another lesson about the birds and the bees. But really, dad's advice will be to keep away from flying boys.

  • Nana / Lt. Uhura / Nichelle Nichols, super cousin and Micah Heroes Video: We see Micah the electronic whiz kid with his grandmother Nana - played by Nichelle Nichols known for her famous role as Lt. Uhura. In clip 2 the motion repeating cousin is on the job at a fast-food restaurant. She assures her friend she could not possibly become pregnant wearing the restaurant's unattractive uniform.

Heroes Spoilers - Kindness of Strangers - Season 2, Ep. 4

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog for episode 4 of Heroes season 2 on NBC TV. The episode is named "The Kindness of Strangers". More on that below, but first a bit about last episode, "Kindred" - Heroes episode 3. As usual, Heroes spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you do not want to know the future of Heroes, blah ... blah ... blah ...

Phat future?

The last few minutes of Heroes Kindred featured three blossoming Heroes romances:
  • Romantic West and Claire at the beach, as shown in in the picture. Next week, in The Kindness of Strangers - ep. 4, West takes Claire on the much anticipated date to the Hollywood sign, via Air West of course.

  • Amnesiac power sponge Peter Petrelli and Irish gangster Caitlin

  • Reluctant hero Takezo Kensei and the princess. Possible love triangle twist since Hero decided to stay in ancient Japan only after he noticed the blossoming love between Kensei and the princess. Hiro either is jealous or worried that Kensei will mess up the romance Hiro started.

Maya and Alejandro Heroes Spoilers Clues: Maya helps Alejandro escape from the Mexican jail. They take along an American prisoner too, because he has a car. Did you notice... the car is Claire's Nissan that got stolen in episode 2. That American needs to escape, but not back to the U.S.A. Sylar eventually puts them all in danger, as he learns about the car, and where it might lead.

Nana

Heroes Spoilers blog Rumor has it that the creators of Heroes were searching for a new cast member with the screen presence of George Takai (Kaito Nakamura, Rip, aka Star Trek's Sulu). Coincidence is they found Nichelle Nichols - Lieutenant Uhura from the Star Ship Enterprise. Heroes paying tribute to Star Trek again. One down another born.

Lt. Uhura

Nichelle Nichols makes her entrance as Nana, a New Orleans grandmother, who lost a daughter in the Katrina hurricane. Post-Katrina, she and New Orleans rely on the Kindness of Strangers. Previously Nichols co-starred as the communications guru of the star ship Enterprise. Hiro ... come in Hiro ... can you hear me?

The trailer Heroes video for Kindness of Strangers has a few spoilers teasers for the episode. Molly the Heroes locator will be asked to locate the evil force worse than Sylar that is haunting her dreams - and threatens "them all". Molly says, "He is the nightmare man".

Who is this "nightmare man"? As reported in the National Enquirer it is Bob, the Company Man who turns metal into gold. He is the guy who is keeping a close eye on Mohinder too. If the Enquirer is correct, Bob is bigger than the baddie in the hoodie who pushed Kaito Nakamura (Hiro's dad) off the roof. Heroes Spoilers blog Suspect number 2 is Angela Petrelli. Why? Look closely at the clip below ... it is a woman. Either using a smaller actor / actress is clever misdirection by the powers that be, or Bob is not that killer.

H.R.G. figures out that Claire has a boyfriend. One thread focuses on Angela Petrelli, with part of her secrets revealed. The flashback has her and Hiro's dad together again?


Now for some Heroes Spoilers blog sarcasm: West's super-power is flying. Hmmmm who else has that power? Oh of course, that is Nathan, Claire's philandering biological father. Oh, and Claire and West are in the same grade. Another random coincidence... not. Hey Heroes producers: what exactly are you saying here?

The official NBC TV Heroes spoilers press-release for Kindness of Strangers is vague as usual, and beware of misdirection:
AS SECRETS ABOUT THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF HEROES ARE REVEALED, A NEW HERO EMERGES IN POST-KATRINA NEW ORLEANS
While taking care of her brother Damon (guest star Carlon Jeffery), grandmother Nana (guest star Nichelle Nichols) and cousin Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey) between shifts at a local fast food joint, Monica Dawson (Dana Davis) begins to exhibit some unexpected new abilities.
That new Heroes hero would be Monica...
Angela Petrelli (guest star Cristine Rose) makes a shocking confession as new information about the previous generation of Heroes is revealed.
The Angela Petelli Heroes spoilers are that we start learning about Angela's powers, and the crimes she has committed. She is cagey and we learn more in future episodes.
With Molly's (guest star Adair Tishler) "boogyman" continuing to turn her dreams into nightmares, Matt (Greg Grunberg) asks her to put aside her fears and locate him on a map -- with terrible results.

Ominous. If Molly sees him, he sees her too.
Suspecting Claire (Hayden Panettiere) has a new boyfriend, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) fears for the future. As they get closer to the U.S., Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) make a grim discovery on the road.

The grim discovery looks like Sylar lying on the road. Thanks TLDietrich on this one.

Kindred Heroes Spoilers - Season 2, Ep. 3

This is the Heroes Spoilers blog for "Kindred" - Season 2, episode 3 of the Heroes TV show on NBC TV and other stations in the U.K., Australia, Europe and around the globe. The title of this episode is suitably named "Kindred" and Heroes continues exploring the relationships and history among the heroes with powers around the globe as well. Oh, ... as usual, Heroes Spoilers ahead, so stop reading now if you do not want to know the future ... blah ... blah ... yadda .... yadda ... yadda.

Clueless Mohinder Suresh Heroes Spoilers: Mohinder discovers another of the missing eight Isaac Mendez paintings. Again someone will die. And again the Deveux building is front and center as seen in the spoilers clip below. After Kaito Nakamura was assassinated, the Company renovated the space to put in a research lab. Just for Mohinder. The unshown Heroes spoilers here are, how did they do it so quickly? Mohinder is not so clueless after all as he is on to the ruse.

(Not a cockroach?)

Maya and Alejandro are separated again. So what does that mean? Well Maya's on her own and ready to kill with her deadly black stare. The NBC Heroes spoilers press release says she springs Alejandro from a Mexican jail, the ironic implication being a tie-over to their crossing the border illegally. Not THE border, but the border with Guatemala.

Claire, H.R.G. and West Heroes Spoilers: West finally takes Claire for their date to the beach, while H.R.G. the mild mannered copy shop guy heads out on a mission. West is from St. Louis. While there, he either was abducted by aliens or was bagged and tagged by Noah Bennett and the company. Romantic West kisses Claire, and what does she find? The company hickey, or actually the company's chip embed in romantic West's neck, right where Claire might otherwise have found a hickey. Whew, at least there isn't another woman in West's life.

Ando Heroes Spoilers: Ando knows more than let on. Repeatedly he has said that Hiro's father read Hiro the tales of Takezo Kensei. Why is this worth mentioning over and over? The answer is that Hiro's father Kaito Nakamura aka Sulu has been preparing Hiro for another of his destinies, and one not yet revealed. The official Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog rumor speculation is this involves Kensei in the present day - after all he is indestructible and survives long after Hiro's interactions with him in Japan.

Ando returns to his home in Tokyo Japan, and he receives communications from Hiro, from the past.

In Heroes Kindred it is rumored that super-villain Sylar makes his return to Heroes. It's in the trailer, so after all it must be true, right? Not necessarily, but in this case, let's go with it. When last seen, Sylar had been hit on the head with a parking meter by Jessica / Nikki, stabbed, spindled and otherwise defeated by the Heroes heroes, Hiro, H.R.G., Peter and company. He was just a cockroach crawling out of the sewer it seemed. But he's back, actor Zachary Quinto's contract renewed, and now a regular cast member, not just a guest. So we will see a lot more of Sylar in Heroes season 2. All this is "confirmed" in the National Inquirer, which we heard says Sylar kills Candace the reality shaper, but loses all his power after doing so. The Heroes spoilers are that is what Sylar thinks happens.

Jessica/Nikki and her son Micah are back in Las Vegas, and finally the scene from the pre-season Heroes trailer is broadcast - with Jessica/Nikki saying goodbye for now.

Peter Petrelli Heroes Spoilers: Peter is still in the grips of the Irish mob. Instead of just incapacitating them and taking his memories box back, he plays along with their heist. Peter is to incapacitate the guards and the gangsters will take down the armored car. You would think a super-hero could come in handy opening up the can. But we'll see what Peter really is up to.

Heroes Clues and Spoilers: Lizards

This is the back from vacation Heroes spoilers blog for What did we learn in Lizards - Season 2, Episode 2 of Heroes on NBC.

One thing we learned is Heroes can moooooove. With multiple parallel story lines, Season 2 will merge the story lines closer and closer to the finale of Volume 2.

(Claire: Can my toe fly?)

Let's play the first edition ever of Heroes Spoilers blog Q&A. Or, Lizards question and answer in honor of this episode.

    Heroes Spoilers Clues Question 1: What do Claire the cheerleader and Takezo Kinsei the reluctant samurai warrior Hero have in common? Answer: they both regenerate.

    Heroes Spoilers Clues Question 2: Anything else in common? Blond hair.

    Heroes Spoilers Clues Question 3: Anything else? ok ok game over.

    Get it? Romantic West wants Claire to read up on genetics. Common gene pool. Kinsei, long, long, long, long ago lost uncle. But can he do back flips?

West still is a peeping Tom, peering in mixed up teenage girls' rooms while they cut off their toes, and watch them regenerate... like Lizards.

(Angela Petrelli: Get out of my head)

Angela Petrelli Heroes spoilers clues: After Matt the super mind-reading cop hauled in Angela Petrelli for questioning - he read her mind about "revenge". She knew he read her mind and yelled, silently, Get out of my head! First impressions were deceiving. She was not yelling at Matt, it was the evil force stalking her for assassination. A minute later she was under attack - in her head from the unseen killer.

What else did we learn?

Hiro is Kinsei Heroes clues: Not really, but he is getting the Kinsei legend back on track as readers of this blog have known he would. And, Kinsei has a power too - healing.

Peter Heroes Clues- Peter has lost his mind, but it is in a box. Irish gangsters have the box, but want their iPods or another heist in return.

The Haitien is back, and teamed up with Matt, HRG and Mohinder. Just like old times.

Mr. Muggles, the dog, wishes he was on TV, to find his love.

Mrs. HRG, Mrs. Noah Bennett is in command as shown in the PR photo.
