Heroes Spoilers: Season 2, Episode 1 - Four Months Later Spoilers

This is the Heroes Spoilers blog for Heroes Season 2, Episode 1, from NBC TV.

** Updated Sept. 17**
The first not so Heroes spoilers are that this episode premieres on September 24, 2007 - four months after the Heroes season 1 finale. The title is descriptive - Four Months Later - picking up the Heroes super-heroes four months after the explosion in the Season 1 finale. As the regulars of this Heroes spoilers blog know ... WARNING: Heroes TV show spoilers ahead ... stop reading now if you do not want to know the future of Heroes TV ... blah ... blah ... blah ...

(Claire the cheerleader's back ... Back for Heroes Season 2)

Claire Heroes Spoilers: As the PR photo shows, Claire the super-healing cheerleader is back for Season 2. Imitating the real life Heroes Claire actress - Hayden Panattiere - we find a matured Claire for season 2 - four months older and ten years wiser, she is somber and introspective -- and happy. The Claire Heroes spoiler is, she has a new boyfriend. And not any old kid, a flying super hero. Just like her bio dad flying Nathan Petrelli. But Claire calls herself Claire Bennett after her adoptive father Noah Bennett aka H.R.G. - horn rimmed glasses. More HRG spoilers to come.

HRG - Noah Bennett Heroes Spoilers: Noah Bennett survived the explosion, had his contract renewed, and returns ever ambiguous for Heroes season 2. Even though we have a name for HRG now, Noah, he'll always be HRG in the hearts of the Heroes spoilers blog. What of Noah? He does re-unite with Claire in Season 2, despite his mind wipe at the hands of the kind of not so mute Haitian mind eraser super-hero.

(Teen Love in Hollywood - Fly West-ern)
Hey, wait a minute Heroes spoilers blogger, what about Claire's super-flying boyfriend? :) Ok, that would be romantic West played by teen heart-throb Nick D'Agosto. West is always up for a flying date to the Hollywood sign to gaze at the stars or a roll in the sand at the beach. (Thanks justjared for the photo)

West Heroes Spoilers: The big Heroes spoilers about Claire's West actually are a Heroes spoilers first, a cross-over spoiler. West makes an appearance in episode 3 of Pushing Daisies on ABC, super-Heroes flying power and all. Pushing Daisies is a new series featuring a central character with Linderman-like super-curing super powers - he brings back dead people. More Pushing Daisies spoilers and news at a site we like called, SpoilersNews.com.

I'll be back.
Sylar Heroes TV spoilers - Sylar is one tough cockroach. When last seen, Sylar seemed to be a cockroach climbing out of the sewer. Indeed he did climb out and straight into a contract renewal making Zachary Quinto a regular Heroes cast member. So, the evil brain-eating Heroes Hero of season 1 returns for Heroes season 2. But is he really alive? The spoilers is, of course we hear ... maybe.

A major season 1 cliffhangers was, why Nathan committed suicide by sweeping in and flying away with his exploding brother Peter Petrelli. The Heroes spoilers for season 2 are, don't believe it. ... Ever ambiguous Nathan lives to hang out with evil mamma Petrelli for more mayhem in Season 2. He swept away good Peter the power sponge, left him in the sky, jetted away, kabooooom the explosion. Peter lived too, but with a new Heroes season 2 haircut. After all, save the cheerleader ... save her healing powers ... save yourself ... and the world!

(Takezo Kensei Samurai Warrior Hero:
Turning Japanese)
Takezo Kensei Heroes Spoilers: One of he biggest spoiler surprises of season 2, episode 1 is Takezo Kensei. The picture is worth 1000 words. Uh... he's far far away from his safe Euro-American home. David Anders, playing the legendary samurai warrior - smaller in real life than legend.

However, the Hiro Heroes Spoilers are, have no fear, a Heroes Hiro hero is here to whip Takezo Kensei into shape so he can fulfill his destiny. Hiro spends much of season 2 (or chapter 2 - Generations as the Heroes creators are calling it) in ancient Japan, discovering himself, discovering a lovely princess, and helping Takezo Kinsei do the same. The big question of season 2, and a blockbuster spoiler in and of itself is, Is the Takezo Kinsei of legend actually past Hiro? Do we know, of course ... not (maybe) :)

(Takezo Kensei Samurai Warrior Hero:
Japanese)
Two Takezo Kensei's - the above from the Heroes season 1, episode 23 season finale - How to Stop an Exploding Man. Chased by the samurai army, this Kensei was saved by the season ending solar eclipse. He also looks remarkably like Sulu aka George Takai aka Mr. Nakamura - Hiro's Dad. Hmmmmm.

NBC TV put out a press release for the opening episode of Season 1, containing some veiled Heroes spoilers, and probably some mis-hints as well:

AS THE EMMY-NOMINATED "HEROES" RETURNS, THE EXTRAORDINARY STRIVE TO BE ORDINARY FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE EXPLOSIVE EVENTS IN NEW YORK, BUT DEADLY NEW THREATS LOOM AS BRAND-NEW INDIVIDUALS WITH ABILITIES EMERGE WORLDWIDE -- WRITTEN BY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/CREATOR TIM KRING AND DIRECTED BY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER GREG BEEMAN

A series of new Heroes heroes will roll out starting with episode 1 of season 2.

As the second volume of "Heroes" begins, the fates of Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) and Matt (Greg Grunberg) are revealed, following the horrible showdown with Sylar (Zachary Quinto) and Peter's uncontrolled nuclear detonation miles above New York City.

They all live and return. Sylar too, but ambiguously evil for season 2.

As everyone attempts to move on, a new sinister force begins stalking and murdering Heroes.

The Heroes spoilers behind this statement is that Season 2, or more correctly Chapter 2 - the first half of sesaon 2 - reveals a new dark sinister evil Heroes anti-hero. This is the force cute Molly the hero locating kid detected in the Season 1 finale. This character is unfinished business of the older generation - Linderman, Mama Petrelli and all - and it is up left to the younger generation to deal with.

With the family hiding in Southern California, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) attempt to live as inconspicuously as possible…which proves to be easier said than done. Meanwhile, after landing in feudal Japan, Hiro (Masi Oka) meets his hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders).

Don't count of Claire and H.R.G. leading a normal inconspicuous life.

Twins Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro Herrera (Shalim Ortiz) hope to make the crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, in hopes of finding help with their deadly abilities.

New characters... I hope this is not another stereotypical TV attempt to tie-in with the immigration issue ... puuulleease NBC Heroes powers!!

Dana Davis, Noah Gray-Cabey, James Kyson Lee, Ali Larter, Sendhil Ramamurthy also star. Nick D'Agosto, Lyndsy Fonseca, Cristine Rose, Barry Shabaka Henley, George Takei, Eriko Tamura and Adair Tishler guest star.

Ali Larter ... of course the Jessica/Nikki dual personality. She's back, but is she still bad... of course.

Heroes Spoilers: Landslide, Season 1, Episode 22

This is the Heroes Spoilers blog for episode 22 of Heroes season 1 on NBC TV. The Heroes schedule is winding down to the grand season finale, as the superheroes continue converging on New York, one week before the explosion, and not coincidentally, also one week before the season-ending episode. As usual, Heroes spoilers ahead, so stop reading now if you do not want to know the future of Heroes, blah ... blah ... blah ...

As we put in the Heroes Spoilers clues post for "The Hard Part", all is not lost for Hiro. After all, he still has the Force behind him, ... no ... wrong movie ... he has Star Trek's Sulu, George Takai, playing Kaito Nakamura, Hiro's billionaire Dad. Hiro is stunned to learn that his father is a Heroes superhero also. Not only that, but he has the real super samurai sword, and now is the time for Hiro to learn how to use it. Hiro's trek in America has proven his worth to his father, so Sulu starts training Hiro to be a samurai, like Obi Wan trains Luke Skywalker. See one of the Heroes Spoilers clips below.

Nathan and Peter Spoilers: Their mother Petrelli plays a big role in this episode, and we learn their father's super power.

Nathan, Linderman and Micah Spoilers: As we expected a while ago, Linderman persuades Micah to control the voting machines to help Nathan win the election. The polls have Nathan trailing, but although correct are made to seem incorrect by Micah's intervention. Nathan wins in a Landslide, hence the name of the episode - Landslide. With the Heroes heroes all gathered in New York, and Nathan victorious, the scene is set for the final battle, which begins at the episode end, and concludes with the season finale, "How to Stop an Exploding Man".

The U.S. official NBC Heroes Spoilers preview clip for the Landslide episode is different from the Canadian. Here is the U.S. preview:



Here is the Canadian Heroes preview, which starts out with the traditional balloon drop following Nathan's landslide election victory:


There are Heroes spoilers sneak peaks floating around the Internet for this episode, and here is a good one. In the first clip, H.R.G. and Claire discuss family matters - he wants to destroy the Primatech Paper tracking system, so he and Claire can lead a "normal life". The second clip has Nathan pre-election talking to his staff about a post-election announcement. Hiro runs up with Ando, trying to get Nathan to help stop the bomb. Even though Hiro reveals to Nathan that he has a bad future, Nathan declines to help - "I can't stop it, Nobody can ... Pleasure to see you. Thanks for your support". Hiro realizes Nathan already is a villain. In the final clip, Linderman reveals to Nathan that his father had a "power", but gave up trying to help the world, Linderman says, "your father was weak". Nathan, "My father was my Hero."


NBC has released its official pre-broadcast press release, with a few reveals:

Poised to become a member of Congress and maybe more, Nathan considers the cost to those he loves, along with his mother's (guest star Cristine Rose) advice and Linderman's (guest star Malcolm McDowell, "Entourage,""A Clockwork Orange") prophecy. As he prepares to face Sylar (guest star Zachary Quinto) to the death, Hiro learns of his lineage from his father (guest star George Takei, "Star Trek").

Hiro learns that his father has powers, and has been watching Hiro's development, judging whether Hiro is prepared to accept the burden of the family secrets.

While various "heroes" fatefully arrive in New York City, Peter and Ted attempt to leave the city before the foretold explosion. H.R.G. and Matt learn the surprising truth behind the tracking system used on people with special abilities.

Peter and Ted think that if they can leave New York, the explosion will be averted. The spoiler is, of course they do not leave. That would be too easy to be the dramatic solution.

Heroes Spoilers Clues: "Parasite", Season 1, Episode 18

Heroes Spoilers clues summary: Meet the shape-shifter, Ando's rousing return, samurai-sword-meet-Hiro, Hiro-meet-samurai-sword, Nathan a heartbeat away, Linderman in the house, Mohinder finally gets a clue then gets stapled to the ceiling, and Peter Petrelli gets sliced ... details below.

Most revealing Heroes spoilers quote:

"What they will do not even you can recover from." The Haitian to Claire.

Runner-up:

"Don't worry I know how to play dumb". Sandra Bennett (Mrs. H.R.G.) not as vacant as previously deceived.

Peter gets sliced ... But is he diced?

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers and clues episode summary of the interesting twists and turns for Heroes "Parasite" - Season 1, Episode 18 of Heroes on NBC TV. The Heroes schedule is set and Heroes returns next on April 23. We have a backlog of Heroes spoilers and will roll them out over the coming weeks. Episode summary continues below ...

Candace Heroes Spoilers: Sly creepy Candace makes a rousing entrance in to the Heroes universe as a the new illusionist, shape-shifter Heroes hero. Candace is on the Primatech Paper team of PrimatechPaper.com fame - with Eric Roberts, a slew of thugs, and soon Matt the mind reader too - as soon as his attitude is adjusted.

Clearly Sandra Bennett (“Mrs.”) is back strong, but which one? First time when H.R.G. confides in her, she was the real one, with her memories in tact this time. She has been playing H.R.G. for a long time. One thing is for sure, she is not dumb. Second time we see Mrs. Bennett, it is really sly Candace. She extracts a confession from H.R.G. - he really remembers Claire - and in comes the Primatech Paper crew to "clean up". The spoilers - y conclusion is, we will see H.R.G. after the break, in custody.

Mr. Muggles Heroes Spoilers: Mr. Muggles is on vacation this week, but not his bark. Sandra Bennett has her cell phone set to "ring" with a Mr. Muggles sound. The clue to creepy Candace was, her cell phone rings, not barks. We will see more of Mr. Muggles :)

Cleaning up spoilers clues: Nathan calls police on Isaac, to clean up Peter's mess (involvement in Simone's death), Isaac calls H.R.G. for help to clean up the Simone mess, Sylar calls Isaac to eat his brain, messy. It turns out clever Candace arrives as Simone, diverting the police, and the Primatech Paper clean up crew comes later.

Isaac Heroes Spoilers: Isaac the painter takes some heroin again and paints his own death. His head is sliced open, just like the future Hiro saw - confirmation that Isaac's future does not change.

Hiro and Ando Heroes Spoilers: Unlike Isaac, Hiro can and will change the future. Oh by the way, what a rousing return of Ando, huh? At the moment of peril, they grab the samurai sword, Hiro has his confidence back, and he leaps with Ando to the future. They arrive on top of the Devereaux Building (appropriately French) where they spy a corner of Manhattan - New York City - bombed out. Looks too small to be an A-bomb much less an H-bomb. But a lot of destruction anyway. However, Heroes Season 1 is all about changing that vision of the future. Episode 20 spoilers (coming up April 30): takes place at that time 5 years in the future. Fasten your seat belt for the wild ride. From the scene shown above, with reconstruction, it looks like Hiro at least had some success in reducing the scope of the explosion, so far.

Angella Petrelli and Haitian Heroes Spoilers and Clues: Angela Petrelli is the mother of Heroes - Peter and Nathan, and Claire’s grandmother. Angela is in charge, at least of the Haitian - and has been working to protect Claire all along, with the Haitian as her mole in the Primatech Paper team. This is the second time she appeared, and her secret power is … well to speak bad French. Zap it into the super instantaneous Heroes Spoilers translator and out comes … "At least she’ll be safe now, but no thanks to you [Mr. Haitian]". The Haitian’s says, "I did everything I could; she would have found her own path eventually". After all … Save the Cheerleader … Save the World. We must save Claire’s memories. Done … saved her from team Primatech Paper. Next the world, at the end of Heroes Season 1.

Claire Heroes Spoilers clues: Claire tells the Haitian, "Peter Petrelli is the only person I can trust." Peter will not be the person blowing up the world, as in his dream. Peter can be trusted. Another Claire Heroes super power is revealed ... she can pick pockets ;)

Jessica / Nikki: Finally Nikki comes out in the Nick of time and Nathan is saved from sure assassination by Jessica. Unfortunately the two FBI agents were not so fortunate.

It's so much easier working with professionals - Jessica

Nikki tips off husband D.L. that something is wrong with his lovely wife. The spoilers are, D.L. goes on her trail.

Invisible Peter spoilers clues: Isn’t invisibility neat? Peter is the proverbial fly on the wall now that he learned invisibility from Claude (Dr. Who). He's in the room with Nathan getting wired by federal agents. This is a transformation experience, as finally Nathan is furthering the common good.

Nathan makes his way to Linderman, and instead of turning him in or shooting, he makes a deal with the devil to become "a heartbeat away" from President ... or does he? So Nathan's future is to become Congressman, then when the bomb goes off so many people die, that Nathan moves up on the order of succession to the presidency.

And, the best for last: The Heroes TV show spoilers blog has referred to Mohinder as "clueless", deservedly. He remains clue-less to the end. It almost looks like he catches on and poisons Sylar. Ooops, he forgot to check the IV tube, and Sylar pops loose. Last we see of Mohinder is he's on the ceiling, for the Peter Petrelli Power Sponge Heroes Spoilers ... Sylar is getting ready to eat Peter’s yummy brain.

Cliffhanger spoilers: Does Peter live? Has Claude helped him to gain sufficient control over all his powers? Does he remember Claire’s super-healing power in time? YES, Peter lives to fight another day.

Ok, Spider-man 3 really isn't part of Heroes, or is it? This week NBC teamed up the Heroes comic book series with the Spider-man 3 comic book movie, a match made in spoilers heaven...

NBC provided a 24 hour open window into the Spiderman 3 universe: Click to view the NBC Spider-man 3 spoilers video. Heroes meet superhero. The preview provided some neat clues about the upcoming blockbuster. The Spider-man 3 spoilers are that Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) has a breathtaking chase scene with his nemesis Eddie Brock. In Spider-man 3, Spidey is altered by an alien organism and wears the grey spiderman suit.

Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man love spoilers:

Heroes Spoilers: "Parasite", Season 1, Episode 18

Updated: New Heroes spoilers added from Judith. (March 5)

This is the Heroes TV Spoilers blog for "Like A Parasite", Heroes Chapter 18, season 1. What might that parasite be, and who is like it? And also, our standard disclaimer is … Heroes spoilers ahead so if you want to remain in suspense until Mondays, you know blah blah blah stop reading now. …

This is a major cliffhanger episode. Think as big as, ... does Sylar kill Peter or visa versa. The new Heroes episode is six weeks later on April 23. To make up for the hiatus, NBC TV invites Heroes fans to log on after the broadcast to NBC.com, and watch a 6-minute preview of Spiderman 3 - Heroes the blockbuster introducing a new comic book superhero blockbuster. Spiderman of course features Peter Parker (initials P.P. like Peter Petrelli) and his alter-ego Spiderman.

Now to the episode Heroes Spoilers: This episode gets us back to Heroes' comic relief superhero Hiro, and his quest for the sword. Read our earlier posts to see the sword in Linderman's private collection at CorinthianLasVegas.com. Scroll down or follow this link to Hiro Heroes Samurai Sword Spoilers at Corinthian Hotel. Comic Hiro meets up with flying straight man Nathan and the inevitable Japanese - English language gap shows up. Nyuk nyuk.

Nathan Heroes Spoilers: How exactly do Hiro and Nathan meet up? Well, heading to the same place in Las Vegas, Linderman's inner sanctum. Law enforcement agents want to put a wire on Nathan in order finally to get enough evidence on Linderman's corruption. Peter, using Claude's invisibility power, hears the whole conversation, like a fly on the wall. Likewise, Linderman is not stupid and knows the plan, so it is destined to fail. Nathan is heading to meet up with his backer in order to come back from trailing by 4% in his election race. Linderman can close the gap, for a price.

As readers of this Heroes Spoilers blog knew weeks ago, Linderman has taken out a hit on Nathan and Jessica the dual personality assassin is tracking him down. Nathan evades her, and gets throught to Linderman who confronts him. Either die of become President, what a choice? We know from the secret Nathan painting at CorinthianLasVegas.com that Nathan winds up in the White House. Whether the painting means he wins his election and eventually becomes President of the United States is unclear. What is clear is that at least he gets to stand on the carpet at the White House.

Linderman Heroes Spoilers: We see Linderman - a parasite - for the first time, in a nicely tailored suite, white hair and trimmed beard. Here is a preview with some nice teasers, including Linderman:



Hiro and Ando Heroes Spoilers: Did you see Ando in the promo? He has a badge. Looks like Hiro superhiro is not alone after all. Daddy Sulu would not permit that. Hiro lays hands on the samurai sword and starts regaining his Heroes superpower confidence. Indeed Hiro and Ando are teaming up again both transport to the future to escape danger at the hands of Linderman's thugs. Also it looks like Simone can take a lickin' but keep on tickin'.

Mohinder and Sylar Heroes Spoilers: Well, Mohinder progresses but maybe not as clue - less as always. He is determined to lead Sylar to thousands of Heroes super power heroes. He now has his genius dad's computer program running and he can locate the people with powers using the program. Sylar of course is eager like a little puppy dog to help out. Sylar smells brains, yummy. Mohinder also takes a blood sample from Sylar. What it reveals, could lead either to his demise and the end of the buddy trek.

Sylar and Peter Petrelli Heroes Spoilers: Sylar tracks down the superhero with the tastiest of brains, Peter Petrelli.

Here are some pretty revealing spoilers clips from the episode, which is on YouTube via Access Hollywood, including:

• Peter and Isaac Heroes Spoilers in the aftermath of Isaac's reckless shooting of Simone


• H.R.G. being de-briefed by his boss played by Eric Roberts. H.R.G. has had a lot of his memories zapped by the Haitian mind eraser super hero. The big spoiler... H.R.G. originally declined to adopt Claire, but he did and now is protecting her.


• The Feds and Nathan hatching a plan to frame Linderman


• Still clueless Mohinder and puppy dog "can my DNA help?" Sylar,


• Hiro meets Nathan again


• Claire and the Haitian... Claire wants to track down Peter Petrelli, the "only man" she can trust.

The "official" spoilers press release from NBC has some different information this week. As usual these press releases from the network are meant to be teasers, and sometimes contain misdirection, so take them, and any spoilers with a grain of salt:

DEATH, DUPLICITY, AND TERRIBLE GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE SHAKE THE "HEROES" -- LINDERMAN IS REVEALED AND NEW "HERO" CANDICE WILMER (GUEST STAR MISSY PEREGRYM) DEBUTS

This means, we see Linderman for the first time. Isaac makes a new painting and it's unsettling. And, Hiro can travel to the future, thanks Judith from Heroes TV Show Spoilers.

With the election and NYC's destruction looming, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) has a disturbing face-to-face meeting with the shadowy Linderman. Hiro's (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) attempt to steal the sword steers him into a grim new direction.

Nathan leads Hiro to the samurai sword in Linderman's secret collection.

Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) makes a breakthrough on "the list" -- at great cost. D.L. (Leonard Roberts) begins to suspect all is not well at home.

We see fan favorites Jessica / Nikki.

New "hero" Candice Wilmer (guest star Missy Peregrym) makes an illusive debut.

Note this is spelled with an "i" not an "e", "illusive". This is deliberate. Think illusionist.

(Peter Petrelli, meet Peter Parker)

Hiro Heroes Samurai Sword Spoilers at Corinthian Hotel

Anyone want to see Hiro Nakamura's Heroes samurai sword? Hiro sure does. That's what Linderman is using to lure Hiro all the way to Las Vegas. Now we all can see it and some hidden paintings by future painter Isaac Mendez.

(Hiro's samurai sword wielded by capable hands)

Last week I posted about the new Heroes 360 Degrees Online Experience Internet presence for the Linderman Group. Now the key into Linderman's private collection has been released. Some Heroes spoilers lurking within...

OK do you want to see it? Go to the secret archive page of Linderman's CorinthianLasVegas.com (follow the link). Once there, enter "sword" for the special invitation code.

It may be a fake, since you only see the grip.

There also is a pretty interesting Japanese tapestry of the original owner of the sword, Takezo Kinsei.

Look at how the arrows are raining down on the samurai warrior in panel 3, but are raining down in the background in panel 2. More to come for sure.

Shout out to Michael on cross-referencing in the earlier post.

Heroes Spoilers 'n Clues: "Company Man" Episode Summary

As we all knew, this episode focused on H.R.G., Claire, how they got together, and who in the world H.R.G. really is. H.R.G. ever ambiguous to the end. Anyone disappointed? Nobody here!

This is the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode clues summary of the interesting twists and turns for Season 1, Episode 17 of Heroes, "Company Man" - on NBC.

("Comfortable with morally grey" H.R.G.
and invisible Claude, his sidekick)

Shout out thanks to sduncan from Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog for some great tips. See the comments from over the weekend.

How about those Hiro Heroes spoilers? Turns out that Sulu aka George Takai aka Mr. Nakamura Hiro’s billionaire dad knows all about Hiro’s quest. Exactly whether he disapproves or approves of it is unknown at this moment. Hiro meets baby Claire. They have a connection. If anyone ever finds out that Claire has manifested superhero Heroes powers, H.R.G. must “turn her in” to Mr. Nakamura. Now we know H.R.G., the company man, really has been protecting Claire and his family all along. Ever ambiguous, H.R.G. he has done it by killing, mind-erasing, and in the end, deceiving his own ambiguously evil superiors.

Now for the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog comic interlude, with some Mr. Muggles Heroes spoilers clues [revised]: How did Ted Sprague, the radioactive guy know Mr. Muggles’ the pet dog's name? Based on the comments, it looks like Ted has really good radioactive eyes. Nevertheless, awfully friendly for a radioctive man breaking and entering, and the "watch" dog who never had met him. Hmmmmm. Claire said, Mr. Muggles has a power, playing dead. Mr. Muggles is saved from the radiation not showing a single burn. There is more to come on Mr. Muggles, after all, nobody rememebered to wipe his memories. :)

Ok end of Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog comic interlude.

H.R.G. turns out to be a company man, as in Primatech Paper of PrimatechPaper.com fame. A front company for the Heroes tracking program. Another company, aka Mr. Nakamura’s conglomerate is the controlling shareholder so to speak. H.R.G. has been following orders his whole life, having no problem with “morally grey”. However his midlife crisis catches up this week at the hands of the radioactive Ted and Matt Parkman team on one side, H.R.G.'s boss portrayed by Eric Roberts on another side, and the Haitian, apparently playing all sides.

How about the Claude & H.R.G. Heroes story: Talk about ambiguity. H.R.G. shoots Claude. First shot looked like a mistake. The rest were not. Claude had been hiding someone with Heroes super powers, the greatest offense. Who was it? Well, who can save you when you are falling off a bridge after being shot? More to come.

Ironically, H.R.G. winds up doing exactly what Claude did by hiding Claire.

Hana Heroes spoilers: Hmmm, where was Hana? Hana set up the whole operation – tracking down H.R.G. to get answers. One theory is that Hana was there at the end at Primatech Paper, but and based on overwhelming comment, we'll go with uh uh, the Israeli Mossad superhero Heroes spy is on the side of good, still.

Isaac’s building Heroes spoilers: Scene 1, Mr. Nakamura meets with H.R.G. and hands over baby Claire with Heroes’ Hiro playing video games in the background. This roof was very familiar. The roof of Isaac’s building. Also, the same roof where invisible Claude hid out raising pigeons, for years. Also the same roof where H.R.G. and the Haitian tracked down Claude, and Claude flew, for the second time, this time with Peter Petrelli’s aid.

Haitian Heroes Spoilers: We do not know yet who the Haitian is reporting to. We do know that next episode introduces Linderman.

Wasn’t it sad when H.R.G. submitted to the mind wipe? It was on the exact same bridge where he shot invisible Claude 15 years earlier.

Claire and the Haitian now are on the run together. H.R.G. thinks the Haitian will keep her safe.

Some Matt Heroes spoilers clues: More and more Matt is getting clued in. He uses his mind reading superheroes Heroes power quite admirably, for the first time. Matt now is becoming a real fan favorite. He actually hatches the plan to reel in out-of-control Ted during the hostage drama, using his mind reading. Cool. Claire and H.R.G. team up to persuade Matt to shoot Claire. He does, she heals, and Ted cools down, temporarily. Unfortunately for Matt, he now is in with a bad crowd it seems, since he is tied down in the super-secret underground Primatech Paper laboratory.

Heroes Spoilers Chapter 14 - "Distractions"

As I said in my spoiler post yesterday, here is my Heroes spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 14, which is called "Distractions". As usual, lots of spoilers here blah blah so if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...

Distractions is a family relationships episode. Hiro's complicated relationship with his mega-billionaire father Sulu, er Mr. Nakamura, and his corporate climbing sister will be explored. Also H.R.G.'s (Mr. Bennett) deceptive relationship with his wife and of course healing daughter Claire will be explored.

Heroes' Hiro and his relationship with his father and sister spoilers: George Takei (who plays Mr. Nakamura aka Sulu) gave a candid interview in TV Guide, which if believed provides a lot of Hiro's family backstory. It turns out little cheerful Hiro is among the richest people in the entire world, his Dad arriving last week in a new $400,000 Bentley. What? you might ask. Hiro the faceless company man in the cubicle is rich. Yes indeed. His Dad, believes in training his children into the company from the bottom up. Learn humility and skill in the Japanese way. So, Sulu ... Mr. Nakamura cannot tolerate the risk of his son wondering around in danger in America. He wants Hiro home secure with his bodyguards. After all there are evil people in the world who might seek to gain ransom from a rich man using his wayward son Hiro

Now, what does this have to do with a magic samurai sword spoiler, which Hiro seeks to regain his Heroes hero status? Hiro Nakamura it turns out is the descendant of a long line of Shogun aristocracy. What is one of their family relics... a samurai sword of course! Back to Linderman.

As for the Bennett dysfunctional family unit: H.R.G. has been living a lie for years. His wife Mrs. Bennett has discovered on numerous occasions Claire's power, as well as H.R.G.'s sinister alter ego. Even worse, she learned of the true circumstances of Claire's adoption. Ever wonder why she has an unnaturally vacuous look? That's because she has been subjected to the Haitien's mind erasing every time she remembers or discovers anything. Ambiguous H.R.G. will do anything to keep her and Claire clueless. However, the Haitien's mind-erasing power is not like a precision guided smart bomb taking out a terrorist cell. Nope, the repeated erasures on Mrs. Bennett have wiped out a lot of innocent brain cells, to the point she almost is a Stepford Wife.

The big Distractions Heroes spoiler is that it all falls apart for H.R.G. Sylar is on the loose and out to wreak havoc with H.R.G. ... and of course eat Claire the cheerleader daughter's brain. Sylar takes H.R.G.'s ID, puts on a Primatech Paper suit and off he goes to H.R.G.'s home, leaving H.R.G. helpless in a cell in basement of Primatech Paper. Can you hear the Heroes web game creeping up? Also, Claire's adoptive Mother finally gets clued in, interestingly by Sylar. Does she survive the Sylar encounter? Our bet is yes, since again, she has no Heroes super power to offer him.

Anyone wondering if Sylar gets re-captured? The answer is no. The Heroes spoilers picture above is a publicity photo of Sylar still on the loose in Heroes Episode 15 (two weeks)! Thanks Just Jared.

Claire's biological father also will be revealed, and he has some kind of power too. Like father like daughter.

Then of course there is the renowned dysfunctional family unit of Nikki / Jessica - the good / bad dual personality mom, D.L. the fugitive dad who can walk through walls, and of course Micah, with the Heroes cash machine superpower - the breadwinner child. Nikki goes in for more analysis by the jail psychiatrist, who of course demands to speak with Jessica, without handcuffs. So Jessica is provide with an opportunity to get loose.

Here is the "official" word from NBC.com. As usual, an tantalizingly vague episode summary is provided, with some nice spoilers mixed in. Take this summary, and spoiler in general, with a grain of salt, and for the fun they are.

The title refers to the dysfunctional family spoiler - y aspect of the episode: "With Their New Paths Becoming Clearer, Some 'Heroes' Family Relationships Are Driven Apart".

Then they go into the episode teaser spoilers:

Hiro struggles to make his father (guest star George Takei), a corporate tycoon, and ambitious sister (guest star Saemi Nakamura) understand his new heroic path in life. Niki has a chance to be with D.L. and Micah again, but will she really be with them? Claude (guest star Chris Eccleston) attempts to teach Peter to harness his abilities, but the process could shatter Peter's faith in those closest to him. Determined to find her birth mother (guest star Jessalyn Gilsig), Claire makes her way to a trailer park in Texas.

The trailer park is home for Claire's biological mom. Will Claire find her bio dad? Not in this episode.

Meanwhile, Sylar makes a shocking move against H.R.G. -- and his family.

He will not manage to kill Claire the healer though.

Heroes Spoilers: "The Fix" - Season 1, Episode 13

Updated

This is my spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 13, which is called "The Fix". As usual, if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...

I will post an episode summary of this episode, with the clues and hints after it is broadcast.

As reported here a month ago, George Takai, who is Sulu of Star Trek fame joins the cast of Heroes as time shifting Hiro's Dad from Japan (Takai is in the middle of the photo). He portrays is a stern man, and the role presented challenges for Takai, requiring him to speak in the Japanese language. He plays a significant figure - one of power in the business world in Japan.

Reportedly Takai is signed for a three-episode stint, meaning we can expect Hiro's dad's presence for the middle of Season 1. His mission is to take Hiro home to Japan. He's had hints of Hiro's power and wants to spare him the burden. Here at the Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog are rooting for Hiro to stay, and are confident that ratings demand it!

Moreover, in Season 2, action will periodically shift to Japan.

NBC also has released its official episode guide for The Fix. As usual, beware of misleads and vague hints in it. They report that Hiro is being pursued by assailants unknown in his quest for the samurai sword of destiny. And, suddenly his father (Sulu, aka George Takei) appears.

Now drug-free Issac dedicates himself to stopping New York's destruction -- and Peter's.

Claire, the indestructible Cheerleader, "embarks on a search for her true birth parents" while keeping the mission secret from her overly controlling father H.R.G. Look for Claire to learn astounding facts about them in Episode 14. Here is a teaser: At least one of her biological parents is an employee of infamous Primatech Paper, with H.R.G. And, we have seen that character in a previous episode. A big spoiler is to expect Claire to track down at least her biological mother in The Fix, or in the next episode, and Tim Kring the creator of Heroes has promised that Claire will find her biological mother played by Jessalyn Gilsig living in an Airstream in a trailer park in The Fix. Beware of spoilers misdirection!

Claude (Dr. Who, aka Christopher Eccleston), is the invisible pickpocket guy, who may be in a position to play an imperfect Yoda to Peter's power sponge. Claude has been living with his powers for a while and has knowledge of what "really" is going on. He will not reveal that knowledge in The Fix, but look for it to be hinted at by his confidence.

D.L. - the husband of Nikki/Jessica struggles with new family responsibilities, namely bringing up a superpower kid of his own.

Matt the mind reader opens up to his wife Janice who seems very pregnant.

H.R.G. - Jessica the Cheerleader's dad focuses on his captive Sylar, as in last weeks episode.

"While working to find those on "the list," Suresh receives a surprising visitor" - how's that for vague?

Heroes Spoilers: "Godsend"

Finally the waiting is over for Heroes spoilers fans. The next episode is a new one, and it is right around the corner.

The title of the Heroes episode is "Godsend", and this one is Episode 12 of Season 1, undoubtedly the first of many. That's not a spoiler :)

A lot of rumors have been floated, cranking up the Heroes hype. Expect record-breaking ratings when the episode airs first on January 22, 2007. The only thing that could stop it is going heads-up against Jack Bauer. We love Jack, but the good money bets that Jack needs to find a new time slot. He may be helped by shape-shifters to ratings safety ... uh I mean time-shifters ... you know Tivo.

Ok let's get down to business. Last month we had the big spoiler for this Heroes episode...

Claude the invisible guy portrayed by the U.K.'s Dr. Who Christopher Eccleston. Chris was the ninth actor portraying Dr. Who, and is depicted in the photo at right in the role. Look for Claude to be the mature Yoda to Peter power sponge, who is of increasing importance to saving the world. However, the spoiler is Claude is a Heroes hero of ambiguous intentions and we will not know exactly who's side he is on.

Hiro and Ando go on their quest for the samurai sword used by Hiro to battle the monstrous dinosaur in Isaac's famous painting. More Heroes spoilers on the sword here.

There has been a lot of speculation on whether Hiro really goes back to the Jurassic era to fight the nasty T-Rex. However newest whispered spoiler on the street, heard only here is that the painting actually was an allegory, and the real event is that Hiro and Ando come into danger at the exhibit, grab the sword from the samurai warrior display in self-defense. As Hiro swings the weapon, the dinosaur display at the museum serves witness, as memorialized in Isaac's painting. So there are two possibilities - Hiro does battle in Jurassic park, versus the museum. We have been unable to fully verify this one, so it's just a hunch *wink*, we are going with Hiro swings the Heroes sword in the museum, witnessed by the dino-exhibit.

Do you remember Niki, the split personality, surrendered to the police in the mid-season cliff-hanger? Can you imagine what her baaad half Jessica thinks of that? Not a spoiler here, she is frustrated and pissed off!

Claire the healing cheerleader after her discussion with the Haitian memory eraser, and struggles with keeping secrets from uber controlling dad H.R.G. - Mr. Horn Rimmed Glasses (Mr. Bennett)

Here is the "official" word from NBC.com. You can see their episode summary is pretty vague, but some nice spoilers to keep us interested. So take the summary - and spoilers in general - for the fun it is:

The title refers to all the cliffhangers and to the appearance of invisible Claude:

"Following Painful Revelations and Shocking Changes, Many "Heroes" Struggle to Move Forward as a New Hero (guest star Christopher Eccleston) is Revealed"

Then they go into the meat of the episode:

Picking up two weeks after recent events, Nathan’s (Adrian Pasdar) determination to save a comatose Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) forces him to turn to Simone (Tawny Cypress) for help. Isaac’s (Santiago Cabrera) puzzling "Hiro vs. T-Rex" painting inspires Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (guest star James Kyson Lee) to search for the pictured samurai sword.

Notice they are coy on whether Hiro goes back to fight the dinosaur. Look for the "fight" to happen either in this episode or within the next 2 weeks.

Jessica (Ali Larter) struggles against Niki’s decision to turn herself into police.

Imagine this.

With his associate Eden dead and Matt on his heels, H.R.G. tries to focus on his orders regarding Sylar (guest star Zachary Quinto).

Hey! Sylar now is a "guest star"! This is the real spoiler. Look for Sylar to come to an end this season.

After being offered a choice by the Haitian (guest star Jimmy Jean-Louis), Claire (Hayden Panettiere) struggles with changes her decision has wrought. Taking up his father’s quest, Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) attempts to share information about who is "on the list" of people with special abilities and the threats to their lives. Meanwhile, a new hero (guest star Christopher Eccleston) makes a shocking debut.

Claude is another guest role.

Hiro Sword Spoilers

What did we know about Hiro's quest for his sword? In our earlier Heroes spoilers posts, it was revealed that Hiro keeps up his quest for the samurai sword - you know, the sword strapped to his back in the famous subway future sequence between Hiro and Peter Petrelli.

In recently released PR shots, we see that Hiro really does find the sword. Not just the sword but the full samurai warrior body armour.


But let's take a closer look at this spoiler scene. Why is it a spoiler? Well we know Hiro sees his goal. But check out the handle of the samurai weapon. Nice design huh? Really nice. In fact, it's like "x" marks the spot. In this case its the Heroes RNA strand logo marks the spot.



Ando gets into the scene too.

Nice design.

Heroes Season 1 Spoilers

General Heroes Spoilers
Not Episode-Specific

Here are some general Heroes Season 1 spoilers that I've identified for the remainder of the season. In the coming weeks I'll be expanding these Heroes spoilers a lot as we gather more information.

The bare bones of the spoilers are laid out by Tim Kring in an interview. If you haven't noticed he's the guy who pops up on the title card of Heroes as the creator. So he probably has a pretty good crystal ball. On the other hand, laying out some misdirection may help with PR, so take these spoilers with a grain of salt. Also, as a creator associated with the show, he had to be pretty vague, but we have been able to fill in some of the blanks.

Claire will go through the season pretending to her father H.R.G that she does not remember her superpowers. In reality she does remember them and this leads to a pretty tense home-life for her, until she leaves eventually to help with saving the world. As we said before, "Save the Cheerleader" meant not only to save her life, but also to save Claire's memories.

One theme of the remainder of the season will be “Are you on the List?”. NBC was running "List" promos during the New Year's Day football games. This refers to the list now possessed by Mohinder, but assembled by his father the obsessed Indian professor. I'm wondering if this will last as the theme of the remainder Season 1 of Heroes, or whether a new slogan will be rolled out later. Not the compelling punch that “Save the Cheerleader ... Save the world” had. Nevertheless, Mohinder’s continuing pursuit of the superheroes on the List will be a recurring theme of his mission to assist them, putting his own life in grave danger.

And yes, Mohinder gets converted into a full-fledged member of the Heroes gang. Not necessarily with superpowers, but aiding them.

The samurai sword is another Heroes spoiler. We know Hiro the Hero winds up as a modern day samurai warrior, but how does he do that. We will find out in a few episodes as Hiro tracks down the meaningful weapon in his quest for the sword.

Christopher Eccleston (aka Dr. Who) will play a character who becomes the Yoda to Peter’s Luke Skywalker.

Ted Sprague, the radioactive guy, will reappear soon. We knew he had to because his radioactive power absorbed by power sponge Peter seems to be a cause of the explosion in the dream sequence cliffhanger.

Terrorism: Thankfully the show’s creators have had the good sense not to pursue this as the theme of the explosion in New York. That would have torpedoed the show’s popularity faster than you can say Osama Bin Laden. Instead, the focus has to do with Ted the radioactive guy. This may be an unsubstantiated rumor as we have not been able to verify it yet.
