Heroes Clues and Spoilers: Season 2, Episode 1

This is the Heroes Spoilers clues blog for the first episode of Season 2 of the Heroes TV series on NBC.

This episode sets the table for Heroes season 2 - you know, the plate, the fork, the knife, and what about that teaspoon! Now for the quote of the day:

"We have our own private Fort Knox" - The Company man turns a metal spoon into gold.

(Join the Company)
"Four Months Later" is the descriptive title and the basic story lines that will take us through Heroes Volume 2 are set up:

• What is coming-to-America Maya's power, besides making eyes bleed?


• Who is the baddie in the hoodie?


• Can Hiro restore the past, after altering it and possibly destroying the Kensei legend?


• Will Claire and H.R.G. Noah Bennett stay anonymous?


• What happened to Peter the power sponge


• Can the H.R.G. / Mohinder / Matt the Mindreader / Molly team bring down the Company?


• Who is the ugly Nathan in the mirror


• And, who are the Nine in the Kaito Nakamura - Angela Petrelli gang?

Readers of this blog already knew a lot of this episode in advance from the earlier Episode 1 Spoilers posts - after all this is a Heroes spoilers blog - and here we will talk about a few things we learned, the table that has been set, and some spoilers from ... for ... the future...(They're back.)
As discussed in the Heroes spoilers, Takezo Kensei hardly is Japanese, but is he heroic? You bet, but that comes out in later episodes. For now, he is a mischievous rogue. Hiro is there to set history straight - or more correctly interfere with history and then fix it. Remember, Kensei operates with a front-man. Hiro saved the front-man from the arrows. But that had an unintended consequence of letting the bandits through to the village. Kensei was supposed stop them, thereby saving the village and impressing and ultimately marrying the princess - thus starting the Kensei myth to last 300 years. Instead, the village burned, the sorcerer's princess daughter was pissed off, and Kensei goes out drinking. Time for a Heroes super-Hiro to fix the timeline.
(Maya: Coming to America.)
Maya and Alejandro Heroes spoilers clues: Maya and her brother Alejandro are new characters trying to reach America. They are on the run, wanted for murder. Maya, when threatened, can kill in uncontrolled self-defense. Of course the authorities do not know she only acts defensively. Maya is an intellectual, reading up on her powers, and has discovered the book written by Chandra Suresh - Mohinder's father. The book explains the genetic theories behind Heroes heroes' super powers. The Heroes not-so spoilers are, of course, Dr. Suresh the senior is deceased. Maya and Alejandro eventually make it to America only to find out that bad news. So, Maya is left to learn to control her power on her own ... with the help of some others.

"Ando, in 24 hours I'll be dead." George Takai a/k/a Kaito Nakamura to Ando after the torn picture.

One of our favorite characters appears dead. That would be Kaito Nakamura - Hiro's dad - who was pushed off the Deveaux building by the baddie in the hoodie. But why? Who? That would be the evil lurking in Molly's dream. A war within the older generation that will be resolved by the younger generation. For sure, this is not the end of Kaito Nakamura's story... his power revealed.
(Double Agent)
We would have no hope for Mohinder's plan to infiltrate the company - if H.R.G. was not the "brains" behind the operation. Mohinder used his cell phone to call in his success? A clue that he will not succeed in the double agent business. Talk about insecure communications. Suspending reality, Mohinder, Matt, H.R.G. and Molly have teamed up to infiltrate and bring down the company - not the Kinko's copy shop. Matt is divorced, but back on the police force and serving as Molly's adoptive dad. Molly still can detect powers, but is haunted by the dark force.

Surreal dinner / Mr. Muggles Heroes Spoilers Clues: The Bennett family dinner at first looked like a stereotype of normality. The family around the table talking about what they achieved during the day in Costa Verde, California - an allegory for life in middle-America. But for this family, the object is to be inconspicuous. To be plain. To go unnoticed. So, Mrs. Bennett, the most unlikely survivor of Heroes Season 1, is making conversation about the day. By that point we all knew Mr. Bennett - H.R.G. - attacked his boss-from-hell and Claire did a back flip, broke her shin, but recovered. Nope, nothing unusual ... not. Last season Claire said Mr. Muggles the dog's power was playing dead. He survived the radiation attack without a single burn to live another day at the dinner table.

Teen heartthrob West is introduced. Besides being the Season 2 love interest, he is a peeping Tom, using his levitation ability to peek into Claire's bedroom. Here is some pure Heroes TV Show Spoilers blog speculation: you may love him, but like loves of seasons past, West will not make it alive to Season 3.

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.
