Heroes

By Jason Hughes Why am I talking about a comic book character in a review about Heroes? Well, aside from the obvious connection, we got introduced to a new character this week. With Ray Park's Edgar gone from the Sullivan Bros. circus, Samuel turns to another denizen of the big top to step in and be his right-h...

By Jennifer Thomas The whole Peter vs. Nylar story was handled well. First, Peter wisely borrowed the Haitian's powers of memory wiping and power suppression. And the way Sylar appeared to Peter in the elevator, having shifted into the nurse's body, was pretty cool. Last season, we saw (well we saw part of it bef...

By Jason Hughes S04E10) For some reason, while I was watching this episode I got to thinking: "What if this had been the second season of Heroes." Would it perhaps still be a top-rated show; one that NBC could rest its laurels and future on instead of Jay Leno? As with that first season, I feel that sense of won...

By Jason Hughes Now that he's working on his bucket list before he kicks it, the time has come to head back three years and try to undo her death by Sylar's hand. Which means we got to see HRG, Claire, Hiro, Ando, Sylar and even Isaac as they were three years ago.

By Jennifer Thomas The heroes attempt to save themselves and others without the use of their powers. Matt (Greg Grunberg) goes to extreme measures to extinguish Sylar (Zachary Quinto), who continues to torment him. Elsewhere, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) calls in a favor from Tracy (Ali Larter) to save a troubled you...

By Jennifer Thomas Under Samuel's (Robert Knepper) guidance, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) starts on a path to rediscover his true identity.

Meanwhile, Angela (Cristine Rose) tries to help the new "Nathan" (Adrian Pasdar) remember his past, at the risk of his remembering too much. Elsewhere, Tracy (Ali Larter) is de...

As Claire (Hayden Panettiere) continues to adjust to college life, she must figure out how to deal with her ability having been revealed. Meanwhile,...

By Yib-Yab Heroes can be moved to "support" roles for a lower plot point cost. Heroes in support spaces on the board wont be able to fight, but if another hero is in combat in an area of the city where you'e got a hero supporting, then you'll be eligible for "boosts" which mean that some dice you can roll a se...

By Jennifer Thomas Here's the question: Can "Heroes" survive without Sylar? So far, they haven't really come up with convincing bad guy. Arthur Petrelli was dull, and Danko was too easily played to be the ultimate baddie. The answer is no. Sylar is integral to "Heroes," even though they should find better ways...

By Graeme McMillan Also something that seems to be finally being abandoned: The Daddy Issues. Now that we've dealt with Papa Parkman, Papa Petrelli and Papa Sylar, here's hoping that the show can finally move away from basing so much of the drama around characters' unhappy relationships with their fathers....

By Annalee Newitz And of course Nathan is hightailing it to Washington to make everything right and confront broody Sylar. Will butch Nathan beat broody Sylar? Will broody Peter wind up helping butch Nathan beat broody Sylar? How many characters can brood before Claire finally also has to brood?

By Jennifer Thomas Sylar has taken some detours over the past three seasons of "Heroes" from his singular desire to maim, kill and can opener a few heads to steal powers (there was Elle and Luke and that brief alliance with HRG) , but in "I Am Sylar," he faced his biggest challenge yet -- himself. Or more accurate...

By Annalee Newitz Anyway, in reality, Angela wants to sift through the dusty ruins of Coyote Sands, where scientists (including Suresh's smokin' hot dad) experimented on "special kids." So that's why Angela has gone there, gathering together sons Peter and Nathan, granddaughter Claire, adoptive papa...

By Jennifer Thomas Sylar (Zachary Quinto) continues his unusual partnership and begins to have an unexpected identity crisis. Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) take measures toward bringing down Building 26. Meanwhile, Matt's (Greg Grunberg) new found fatherhood changes his priorities. Elsewh...

By Brian Howard He was still shaken up by it later on when HRG showed up posing as Sylar posing as HRG. (Got that?) And that shook up Danko a little more. But HRG was in for his own shaking up, as Sylar used his new shape-shifting ability to good effect, impersonating Sandra. It was mad genius time, the way Sylar co...

By Jennifer Thomas The Ando and Hiro antics with baby Matt Parkman that began in "Cold Snap" are really working. (As long as the "Heroes" creators don't beat the Two Japanese Men and a Baby thing to death.) Ando and Hiro have always been the show's conscience, heart and humor. Hiro is the purest form the super-pow...

By Jennifer Thomas Going up after the best episode this season, "Cold Snap," is no easy task. "Into Asylum" wasn't an exciting episode, but it did delve a bit more into character development -- something sorely lacking in "Heroes" in the last couple of seasons. Characters like Nathan and Angela Petrelli, lon...

By Graeme McMillan Heroes, to me, has always been closer to Buffy or, let's face it, your average superhero comic. It's never been about the plot as much as the storytelling and the characters. Sometimes that's to its detriment (A more plot-led show wouldn't, ideally, have repeated the same "I have seen the fu...

By Annalee Newitz Last night's episode of Heroes proves once and for all that this show basically does not give a crap if anyone keeps watching - especially if that "anyone" happens to be female. Spoilers ahead. Tune in next week, when a giant band of female comic book geeks take over the comic book store and tel...

By Jennifer Thomas Rebel's identity is revealed with disastrous results. HRG (Jack Coleman) convinces Emile Danko to release Tracy (Ali Larter) from "Building 26," in hopes that she will lead them to "Rebel." As Angela (Cristine Rose) evades capture, she turns to an old friend (Swoosie Kurtz) for help. In Lo...

By Jennifer Thomas After receiving a tip from Rebel, Matt (Greg Grunberg) and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) race to Building 26 to rescue Daphne and recover files that will expose the governments plans for those with abilities. Claire (Hayden Panettiere) finds help from an unlikely source in smuggling Alex (J...

By Grace The final scene of the episode shows HRG inside a hotel bar. A spiked drink makes him pass out. Peter, Matt and Mohinder move in to carry him away. Next week, Heroes continues with episode 3.16 “Cold Wars” and it’s about the heroes taking HRG hostage. That ought to be good. Images: NBC /Chis Haston

By Annalee Newitz To make matters worse, Nathan even gets soft on his brother Peter. When Tracy goes turncoat on Peter and gives him up to Nathan, Nathan basically lets Peter go. And then when HRG has a chance to shoot Peter later on, but doesn't, Nathan gives HRG the old secret thank-you nod.

By Jennifer Thomas Following a chain of unexpected events, the heroes are on the run from their latest adversary and one of their own, Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar). After Matt (Greg Grunberg) paints a series of prophetic images, the tragic fate of someone close to him is revealed. Sylar (Zachary Quinto) c...

By Jennifer Thomas The standoff between Sylar (Zachary Quinto), HRG (Jack Coleman), Claire (Hayden Panettiere), Meredith (Jessalyn Gilsig) and Angela (Christine Rose) wasn't as spectacular as it good have been, but it wasn't half-bad. Although why did Meredith need a gun? The woman can shoot fireballs...

By Michael Hickerson The panel may have been in trouble before it started.  It was initially supposed to be Kring and producers Jeff Loeb and Jesse Alexander.

By Kate Heroes- Villains Episode Summary, trailers for next week November 11th, 2008 By Kate Blake- Admin MV Heroes got back to basics this week- by this I mean focus returned to our core characters and provided some solid linear narrative that connected this season’s disparate storylines to the very first season and some of our favorite moments from that season which was the one that people initially enjoyed and tuned in for. The episode begins where the last one left off- Hiro is in Africa and while Ando looks on the African painter gives him a bowl of hallucinogenic goop that allows Hiro to take a spirit walk like Matt did when he was in Africa. Hiro does not see the future- he has to see the past to understand when things changed and what were the crit...   [read the full post]

By Jennifer Thomas The next new episode, "Villains" on Nov. 10, sounds promising with Hiro going back to the days before Arthur Petrelli "died" to see how and why he started Pinehearst and decided to strike out against Angela. Do you think it's a good idea to see the heroes before they had powers? They've alread...

By Sam Sloan “The Season Two DVD pack is a reminder of just how outstanding this show has become and the limitless heights that creator Tim Kring will still be able to bring to it” When NBC Universal asked if they could send me a copy of the 4-Disc Season Two DVD of “Heroes” to review, there was certainly [...]

By vacelts I'm kind of relieved that Heroes will be on a bit of a break for awhile.  Quite simply, "Powerless" left me feeling ambivalent at best.  The deaths were Niki, who dies in a fire rescuing Monica, and Nathan, who is shot during a press conference to expose The Company.

Note: This is not confirmed, I doubt this "Insider" is actually giving out legit spoilers, only time will tell. i started thinking about how i wanted to present the infos that i have on the boards... i thought the best way to do this was to make separate posts for the major storylines that are comi...

By Jason the TVaholic MTV has 11 episodes of America’s Next Top Model. Nickelodeon has 12 episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air late. Sci Fi has eight episodes of Andromeda early. Travel Channel has five episodes of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern. VH1 has 8½ hours of The Pick-Up Artist.

By Richard Hawkins Yes, I find these relationship dynamics are more interesting to play than the perceived super power, they have written that very well.

By Chris Beaumont The season is already over, with the most recent episode, "Heroes," marking the end of season four, making way for the return of the Penn Jillette-hosted series, Identity.
