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: Linderman's Corinthian Hotel

A new website in the Heroes 360 Degrees Online Experience has been rolled out. This is CorinthianLasVegas.com. It is the second of the Heroes corporate online sites, the first being PrimatechPaper.com. PrimatechPaper.com is the online presence of the ambiguous H.R.G.’s front company, Primatech Paper. ConrinthianLasVegas.com – will be the online presence of the evil Linderman empire. It has the look and feel of a Las Vegas resort hotel website.

As the crown jewel in the Linderman Group's Las Vegas holdings, the Corinthian is one of the most special places on the Vegas strip with every detail designed to meet the demands of discerning guests who have come to expect nothing less than exceptional.

The player spoilers are, play up to about 400,000 points and you get invited to the Titan Club. Try taking the "s" off "shtml" and you can fill out the form. The Titan Club perk is a glimpse of Linderman's private collection, including Heroes' Hiro's samurai sword.

Heroes Chapter 15: "Run" Episode Clues

This is my Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode clues summary of the interesting twists and turns for Episode 15 of Heroes, Run.

Clueless Matt Heroes mind-reading policeman needs to support his family so takes on a new job as bodyguard, only to be confronted by a quite confused person – you know the one with two personalities – Jessica and Nikki. So in between stealing diamonds and his day job, Matt just manages to survive Jessica’s wrath. Interestingly, he uses his superpower to read two people’s thoughts in one body – Jessica and Nikki.

Zane Taylor is introduced in Run as a new, albeit short-lived superhero - as seen in the photo. Meet Sylar, have brain eaten. His power now owned by Sylar is the ability to melt anything he wants – bank vaults, people, whatever.

Jessica is revealed as a professional hit-woman, evil Linderman’s new assassin paying off her debt to him for springing her (and Nikki) from prison. "Whatever Linderman wants Linderman gets". A hint of the future.
Back to the present, Jessica is out to even the score with Linderman’s crooked hatchet man Aron Malsky. Malsky took $2 million of Linderman's money and converted it into diamonds. Of course Matt winds up with the diamonds in the end.

Meanwhile Nikki / Jessica’s husband D.L. has not figured out Jessica is in control, as Jessica has learned to put on a game face and conceal her identity. Micah also seems oblivious but the spoiler is that Micah senses his mother’s dilemma.

We got to see Nathan’s human side – a refreshing turn from the robo Nathan of previous episodes. It was sad how he could not meet Claire and how she cast him out in the biblical sense, with a stone. Great, we get to like him right before assassin Jessica gets at him.

Meridith's spoilers reveal is that the fire where she "died" was a guise to disappear from someone who was after her - think Linderman, Nathan's estranged patron.

Nathan agrees to Meridith's demand for $100,000 in hush money. Her character laid bare, she lies to Claire Heroes cheerleader about the amount so she can keep most of the money. The twist of course is that Jessica has a contract to kill Nathan. She easily handled mind-reading Matt, so Nathan may wind up being the Heroes superhero who dies in February, besides Zane.

We also found out where Nathan gets his cold cover-up side … political mother-from-hell Angela Petrelli. What is her Heroes superpower? :)

Sandra Bennett – aka Mrs. Bennett, Claire's adoptive mother is becoming more and more vacant, the unintended after-effects of the hundred mind-wipes by the Haitian Heroes mind eraser. His power as readers of this blog know is not precise, and he has eliminated brain connections of hers. Now she does not remember cute cuddly Mr. Muggles and that is disturbing :), much less her memories of her daughter Claire. Looks like Claire will wind up only with one mother, the flawed Meridith.

Sylar has posed as someone else, and clueless Mohinder Suresh, keeper of the Heroes list has no idea he has teamed up with the mass-murdering marauding murderer of his beloved father.

Heard only here in the spoilers post for Run, we knew Ando was not always the trusty friend Hiro imagines him to be. Now he wants to team up with Hope, the woman with something to hide. At this point, this only is poor judgment by Ando. Think about this… How did Ando know to wear Cologne to impress Hiro’s sister Kimiko in Heroes season 1, episode 14, Distractions? The spoilers - y answer is that he has been the family’s agent to protect and keep an eye on Hiro. He knew in advance the love of his life Kimiko was coming in advance.


Next week's episode of Heroes, Season 1, Episode 16 is "Unexpected". Remember, with Heroes, expect the "Unexpected", as Matt teams up with Hana Gittleman the Israeli super spy and Ted Sprague Heroes' radioactive guy.

Heroes Spoilers - "Run" Season 1, Episode 15

This is my Heroes spoilers blog for the next episode of Heroes - Season 1, Episode 15. The spoilers - y title is very meaningful, “Run”. Heroes heroes are on the run in this episode. As usual, lots of spoilers here blah blah blah so if you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now ...

Some Matt spoilers: Matt the mind reading suspended police officer needs to support his expectant wife, so takes a job as a bodyguard for an attorney Aron Malsky. Not many attorneys need bodyguards, so that is a real clue that something is wrong with that picture. However, Matt our Heroes hero I regret to say often is clueless and this is no exception. The attorney he works for is none other than Linderman’s thug who sprang Jessica/Nikki from prison in Heroes Distractions, season 1, episode 14, last week. Of course moral Matt catches on and finds himself the potential target of Linderman’s newest assassin – none other than Jessica. This puts Matt on the Run.

Jessica Spoilers: See above – Linderman having sprung her from jail now turns her out as an assassin over the heated objection of good superhero Nikki. She tosses Matt out the window and he puts a gun to her head. See it in the end of the preview below.

Mohinder Suresh Spoilers: Talk about clueless. Mohinder, the keeper of the top secret list of Heroes super heroes finds someone to trust as his new best friend. Unfortunately that turns out to be serial killer super heroes un-hero Sylar – who’s first victim was Mohinder’s father. Of course Mohinder has no idea. He knows someone named Sylar killed his dad, but does not have a photo. When he finds out, Mohinder is on the run.

Nathan spoilers: continues his quest to find Peter his flying brother, and run from his flaws.

Claire the indestructible Cheeleader spoilers: Meridith and Nathan, Claire’s bio father meet, and Claire plays hide and seek … Maybe just like in the NBC promotional photo with Claire crouched behind the car, but not directly confronting him ... ;)

Hiro Heroes Spoilers: Hiro and trusty (?) Ando continue on their quest for the sword. Of course, they are distracted by the beautiful damsel in distress. It turns out she packs a punch - literally speaking, which Hiro receives right in the kisser. Why the question mark after "trusty" for Ando? More to come on that point ... A hint is, Ando is loyal to Hiro, but who else too? That was revealed in Distractions. Think cologne.




Here is the official NBC press release spoilers for Heroes chapter 15, season 1:

“AS MATT AND SURESH FACE GRAVE DANGER, “

Matt from Jessica and Suresh from Sylar.

“THE SCANDALOUS TRUTH ABOUT CLAIRE'S REAL FATHER IS REVEALED -- CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON ("DR. WHO") AND JESSALYN GILSIG ("NIP/TUCK") GUEST STAR -- While the scandalous truth about Claire's real father is revealed, her adoptive mother (guest star Ashley Crow) faces a crisis. Matt (Greg Grunberg) takes a job as a bodyguard for a crooked attorney (guest star Aron Malsky), which puts him in the crosshairs of Linderman's new assassin. “

That assassin is Jessica / Nikki, Heroes dual personality.

“Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) and Ando (guest star James Kyson Lee) return to Las Vegas to find the sword, but get sidetracked by a damsel in distress (guest star Missi Pyle). “

She packs a punch.


“Meanwhile, Simone (Tawny Cypress) turns to some unlikely help in her and Nathan's (Adrian Pasdar) struggle to find Peter (Milo Ventimiglia).”


Have fun!

Heroes Episode Summary: "Distractions", Chapter 14, Season 1

Hiro confronting his "distractions" in "Distractions"

*Updated*

This is my Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog episode summary and spoilers clues for Chapter 14 of Heroes, Distractions - Season 1, Episode 14.

First, the obvious. One spoiler we repeatedly forecast was that Claire the cheerleader meets her biological mother with huge trepidation and wonder, as seen in the photo. And that happened, right in the trailer park, as Meridith and Claire bonded. Zach accompanied Claire to the trailer, but had the good sense to stand back as the superhero titans met, avoiding the possible fireworks, literally, after all dear old Mom is a very unstable firecracker ... er firestarter.

The big reveals of this episode were:

  • Jessica / Nikki now is in Linderman's pocket
  • Peter can remember powers
  • H.R.G. thought Claude was dead
  • Claire's biological father...

Nathan, Peter’s womanizing flying politician brother turns out to be as bad as everyone thought. The spoilers were a bit off on this one, but Nathan is Claire’s biological father, not H.R.G. or Linderman. That makes sense, since we already have seen infidelity from him, a clue to his checkered past. His attempts to suppress Peter, also another clue. His infatuation with a clean public persona also was a clue.

The mega spoiler is the rumor floated by the creators that Claire’s bio-dad is someone working with H.R.G. This means, Nathan is in league with H.R.G. if a real spoiler rather than misdirection.

Hiro wraps up his family "distractions" - Mr. Sulu, George Takai, aka Mr. Nakamura, and sister Kimiko, as the word "distractions" flashed on the screen (captured above, thanks Heroes-Wiki). Hiro’s dad is chairman of Yagamoto Industries, a conglomerate and is training Hiro from the ground up in business. Hiro's destiny awaits his return to Japan.

The big reveal is Kimiko, Hiro’s sister, and Ando is in looooooooooove with Kimiko. Did you notice he put on cologne to meet her? It turns out Mr. Nakamura cannot lure Hiro back and returns with Kimiko installed as his new heir, and Ando longing.

The spoiler is we have not seen the last of Kimiko, and expect more of her (and Ando) in Heroes Season 2 - unless her contract is not renewed ;) .

Jessica/Nikki the dual personality finally busts loose. Turns out elephant restraints cannot hold a Heroes superhero like Jessica. She breaks them like confetti and tasers the psychiatrist. Interestingly, Nikki/Jessica faints afterwards and is subdued. Sinister, and unseen Linderman doctors the evidence and she is exonerated of the murders, so she is freed by Linderman’s lawyer. Now she is owned by him. The spoiler for next week is that Linderman turns Jessica out as an assassin, and Jessica suppresses her good Nikki persona.

Claude Raines, the invisible man, has had his superpower for 15 years. He trained other Heroes, possibly Nathan. It seems the older Heroes heroes know or were associated with each other at one time. Claude knows H.R.G., and possibly Nathan. The Heroes spoiler for Chapter 15 of season 1 of the Heroes series (next week) is that H.R.G. thought Claude was dead, and teams up with Isaac to track him.

Claude is training Peter to retain his powers one at a time – first by clearing his head of negative attachments. He does that by trailing Simone, Peter’s present and Isaac’s former girlfriend. They track her to Isaac’s roof, where of course he sees, but does not hear Simone’s conversation with Isaac.

Peter misinterprets Simone’s embrace with Isaac as further infidelity, and finally is cleared of his attachments. Devilish Claude subscribes to the “sink-or-swim” school of Heroes superpower training, and pushes poor Peter off Isaac’s three-hundred foot tall building. Claude fully expects Peter will kick in brother Nathan’s Heroes flying superpower to save himself. Instead, Peter falls and falls and falls, and smashes into a taxicab – predicted by Isaac. No flying power! But Claire’s healing power kicks in just in time and Peter heals himself from the plunge.

Peter learns he can hold on to Heroes superpowers, by remembering the feeling they gave him and the person who donated them. He still needs to increase his sponge, i.e. retention ability.

Now, the creepy scene of the night, features Sylar in his Primatech Paper suit. He meets Mrs. Bennett and cute Mr. Muggles the dog. Mrs. Bennett teases us with H.R.G.’s still unknown name, and classically, Mr. Muggles’ chewing on Sylar’s shoelaces elicits a reprimand, rather than the name. Just as Sylar is about to kill Mrs. Bennett, the ever ambiguous H.R.G. arrives and shoots Sylar. I do not see how a gun can kill superhero Sylar, much less the Haitian who H.R.G. sends after him.

As usual, H.R.G. orders the Haitian to wipe Mrs. Bennett's memories … for the hundredth time leaving her a vacant Stepford wife. A faint wiff of memory remains, so the spoiler may turn out to be Mrs. Bennett.

The preview spoilers showed Mohinder unwittingly teaming up with Sylar, his dad's murderer. Although Mohinder knows the name "Sylar", he doesn't know the face and Sylar uses a false identity.
