TV: Heroes

Anyone been watching the Heroes webisodes that started recently? They're already up to episode 3. Sadly NBC only allows people in the US to watch them Fortunately there's someone like me to hook you guys up. Here's the "Going Postal" arc:

Low budget promo that probably brings little revenue to the network... what do you expect?

It's fine for what it is, to get some Heroes until the real show returns.

Edit:
Here's an alternate ending of season 2 and some other deleted scenes... watch them before YouTube deletes them:

Here's a countdown for season 3:

I think this is what's supposed to air at 8pm EST, so if you're interested you can get that out of the way.

HEROES (NBC, 8PM EST) COUNTDOWN TO THE PREMIERE

Cast members host a countdown show. Included: a review of important plot points; a lineup of suspects in Nathan's shooting; a look at the special-effects process; a sample of translated episodes airing internationally; and an exploration of the series' subtle nods to "Star Trek."

And of course, the 2-hour premiere starts at 9pm EST tonight.

Maya is one annoying bitch. But I'll admit, she's fucking fiiiiiiine.

[Assassin]

so, is mohinder turning to some sort of lizard man? and i still can't believe how syler doesn't fucking die. i mean, claire stabbed an 8 inch knife through his chest and he somehow still managed to sit there calmly and perform brain surgery on her.

[Vegechan]

There were ALOT of "WTF?!" moments in the season premiere. Not all of them the good kind either.

Also, Hiro's ability needs to have its name changed from "manipulation of time and space" to "plot device."

[animus]

All along we thought Sylar ate brains. Now I don't even know what the fuck he does. He pulls a certain part out of the brain and just absorbs it into his body? Or fiddling around inside the brain he some how gets the power?

And wtf @ Elle, she came away with just a few stitches. When Sylar saws their heads he goes straight through the bone and to the brain.

And was I the only one thought "Oh shit, the Beast" when I saw Mohinder climbing walls, and hanging from the ceiling and shit? And then just before he pulled the scale out of his back, I thought "Oh shit, Blue fur?!"

I was always under the assumption that he analyzes the brain and understands how it works. I even believe he said something along those lines, about how well he understood clocks and how it mirrors his power.

[rockmanj]

Hmm...all i can say about Mohinder is, I guess he didn't seeThe Fly.

[KitKat]

I am so excited Heroes is back! I have been waiting so long for this. Lots of crazy revelations, and things going off-kilter in these two episodes.

Anyone else notice how everyone from the future has ultra bad-ass clothes?

Heroes is starting to remind me of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai now, with everyone trying to avoid a catastrophic future, but things continuing to go wrong.

[Munsu]

I'm excited about this season as well. My main gripe with the series is that they have too many characters. It would be better if they had like a LOST system going on, with character centric episodes instead of focusing on all the characters in all the episodes. The other thing they can do is try to bring these characters together sooner in the season.

That aside, future Peter being around is a good move and it also looks like mama Petrelli is going to get some major screentime this season. One question, was Sylar among the villians that where shown in her future vision where all of our heroes are killed? I wonder what plans she has for him.

Were they also hinting at a Claire and Peter relationship? Kinda wierd since Peter is her uncle... or maybe we're about to find out that they're really not related. Who knows.

Maya is hot.

Do you guys think Nathan is hallucinating or is Linderman really there manifesting his powers? Or is Nathan manifesting some different powers?

What do you guys think is the connection between Nikki and Tracy? Was Tracy the name of any of her personalities that you guys remember? Along those lines, you think that Micah and her cousin will show up again in the series?

So now that Elle has been made a fool out of, you guys think she'll go the villian route? Or will she try and hunt down the present Peter?

Glad to see Marlo from The Wire in the series. He's awesome.

Hiro is an idiot.

[animus]

Yeah, Sylar was one of the villains seen in the future when Mama Petrelli had that future dream. She sees that evil group of 5, and Sylar approached her from behind out of the shadows.

I don't know Linderman's deal. I could've sworn when Tracy was on the way out she noticed Linderman. The power to heal grants him divine intervention in the after life? Shrug.

The Tracy and Nikki deal is confusing. Definitely not Jessica, since she has Iceman abilities. So maybe she might be another personality in Nikki's facet. One for every situation I guess, so she'd be like a Peter, but only less useful, and more lame.

I don't know about Elle becoming a villain, since she didn't appear in that future dream. It showed Nikki (or Tracy), Adam, Parkman's Dad, and Marlo from the Wire (Benjamin Knox in the show).

[KitKat]

Sylar is a bit of a wild card, and with the new batch of 'villains' being set loose, it demotes his importance somewhat as the 'bad guy' of the series, so it looks like he could play a very different role in this season. I too am curious about what mama Petrelli wants with him, since she of all people knows exactly how evil Sylar is. And on a speculative note, I wonder if mama Petrelli envisioned a positive future had Peter exploded the city. Hiro once tried to change the past and couldn't, yet Peter has now successfully done just that. Does it mean that Peter can never go back to his future, he's stuck in his 'past' of an alternate world? The semantics of time travel can get sticky.

The Linderman deal kind of came out of the blue. I honestly don't remember what happened to Linderman the last time we saw him, but his revelation to Nathan completely surprised me. Maybe it's an instance of level 2 abilities, either on Linderman or Nathan's part. Hard to tell at this point.

Nikki has never had a personality named Tracy, as far as I can recall. Also, Tracy is different from Jessica because she honestly doesn't know who Nikki is, whereas Jessica knew Nikki, and conversed with her regularly. I had previously figured that whenever Nikki manifested another personality, she was able to utilize her super strength ability, but it now seems that each personality has a different ability. And that begs the question....does Nikki in her regular personality even have any ability at all? I can't remember if we ever saw her use super strength without Jessica.

They might bring in Micah, likely as the only way to force Nikki's personality to reemerge. I don't really see them using Micah in the plot otherwise. They've got too much going on with the other characters right now as well as introducing the new villains, and he had a large amount of screen time last season.

Elle, I don't even care. Ugh, she annoys me. I classify her as 'Minor Annoyance Character Who Wishes She Was Important'.

[Munsu]

Elle is awesome.

[EinReB23]

In the last scene Mama Petrelli called Sylar "my son"... is he really?. I also got that vibe on the "Claire and Peter" relationship as more that just family... who knows

[Assassin]

What i wanna know is what makes claire so special, even among the heroes....and does that mean that adam monroe is 'special' just like her, since they both have the same ability.

As for the doomsday future that hiro saw, the part that interested me the most was ando having powers. and rather cool powers at that. he's like havoc from x-men.

And while we're on the japs and thier powers, whats up with hiro's power? we found out (via the speedster) that hiros power doesn't actually stop time...so it just slows it down then? wtf. i guess it does make sense if you think about what she said, about whether time would stay frozen in tokyo if he went to some other area. Im thinking hiro can create some sort of localized time bubble that shifts the inside area out of the normal time stream. Hopefully we'll get more info on it, now that the writers have brought it out in the open.

[rockmanj]

Hmm...and the writers said Ando would never have powers...guess they reneged on that.

[Board of Command]

Ando-kun: KAAA MEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA
