The folks over at ZAP2it had a nice little sneak peak into the filming of Chapter 22 “Landslide” back in March and have shared a few spoilers with their readers regarding events to come with Hiro and his father Kaito Nakamura. I’ve highlighted some of the goods below:

Hiro Nakamura enters a dusty, dimly lit sword shop in a less-than-savory looking corner of New York. He’s wearing a samurai-style robe. He looks around and says something in Japanese. I’m not sure what the translation is, but I do know the sentence contains the words “Ando” and “Sylar.” At the end of the scene his dad walks in — also wearing samurai gear. Oka allows that “what you’re seeing here is kind of the end of the Karate Kid training montage — Hiro gets his ass whooped but eventually comes back.” Takei all but confirms - “I’ve discovered also that I’ve had powers, and some of my colleagues that I fought with for good — I have a line with them where I say, ‘The Nakamura family has always fought for good, tried to be the wind behind the course of history.’ But some of my colleagues went off the good road.” He says with a laugh “I talk about the Nakamura family guiding history toward good, but yeah: What is ‘good,’ in my definition?”

When asked about what future role the Petrelli family has in the upcoming episodes Kristin had this juicy tidbit to pass on from Adrian Pasdar:

Who wants my thoughts when you could have Adrian Pasdar’s thoughts?! He says about Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose), “She has a big part to play in my life and Peter’s life and Claire’s life…And [the question of] how [my father] died is something that gets answered in 22. It wasn’t Sylar, but it’s not what we were told. He turns out to be somebody we don’t expect.” Ahhh! Why does every little snippet about this show get me so excited? (Especially when Adrian is talking?)

Yahoo TV has a new version of the promo for Chapter 19. It starts off a bit like the one shown at the end of Chapter 18 but has some different footage after the “now it’s time to save the world” part. Some highlights including seeing who the brunette version of Claire is talking to (those who guessed HRG were right on), a bit with Mohinder mentioning something about genocide to Nathan, and Linderman asking Micah if he’d like to save the world (anyone else thinking he’s gonna try and get Micah to rig Nathan’s election - can we say LANDSLIDE?).

And the folks over at Sci-Fi Wire get the scoopage on the titles for the final two episodes of Heroes Season One:

• Chapter Twenty-Two “Landslide”
• Chapter Twenty-Three “How to Stop an Exploding Man”

Included with the titles is a little bit of spoilage from the man Kring himself “The whole thing converges in New York, … and they’re all there, and all of them play a role,” Kring said in an interview at Wizard World in Los Angeles on March 17. “Even though some may feel like they’re less significant to the final event, when you analyze it, each one had to play that role in order for the final event to be solved, and so there really was a kind of destiny quality to them coming together and having each one fulfilling one thing and one specific role.”
