Greetings Heroes spoiler fans… Just wanted to drop everyone out there a quick note to let you know I’m in the process of designing and implementing some new features for this site that I just know you’ll love - it’s actually something a bit unique in the land of Heroes fan sites in general. I’m also planning a weekly column as well. So stick around because extraordinary things are coming…

• While Nikki is councling, Jessica makes a sudden appearance.

I get the feeling that the Deveaux Society is gonna be brought into the storyline really soon. There was already hints of it this past Monday’s episode when Peter find’s Claude feeding pigeons on the rooftop of the Deveaux Building, the same one he worked in taking care of Simone’s father Charles Deveaux.

There’s not much in the way of spoilers in Beeman’s blog for The Fix but I was able to pick up on this little bit about the building which tells of it’s importance:

We also built a new major set for the series, which makes its debut in this episode. It is the rooftop of the Deveaux building. That’s right, the rooftop of the building where Simone’s father lived and died and where Peter first met Simone.

In upcoming episodes this will be scene in the past, the present and the future. In it’s glory, in mild disrepair and in destruction. Of course, the Deveaux roof is in downtown Manhattan – so how do we achieve its look?

Our dear friend Mike Ausiello at TV Guide dropped a few tiny spoilers, although I admit the new catchphrase was kinda obvious since it’s been shoved in our faces in the latest comic mini-arc.

A female Hero will get shot during sweeps, and you’re never going to guess by whom. (Hint No. 1: It’s another Hero — and a good one at that. Hint No. 2: It may be tied to this teaser NBC just released for the Feb. 26 episode: “H.R.G.’s past catches up to him as Matt and Ted Sprague come to Texas looking for answers, and take him, his wife, his son and Claire hostage.”

I just found out what this season’s third and final catchphrase might be, and it’s a vast improvement over the weak, “Are you on the list?”This season’s third and final catchphrase might go something like this: “*** ** *** **** ** ********* ***?” (duh! “How Do You Stop An Exploding Man?”)

I’m pretty sure he [Malcolm McDowell] just landed the part [as Linderman].

We have some interesting spoilers coming in from around the web today. First off is a short bit from Kring about Sylar and season two of Heroes posted over at Sci-Fi Wire:

As for the cliffhanger? “It’s not necessarily a cliffhanger in terms of what has been set up so far storywise,” he added. “It’s more of a cliffhanger as to the welfare and well-being of several of our characters. … Obviously it plays into where we kick off at the [beginning] of season two.”

Don’t expect the villainous Sylar (Zachary Quinto) to go away. “I love Zach Quinto, and I love what he’s doing for the show,” Kring said. “And the truth is I would like to continue and have him in the second season.” There’s a reason he’s being kept alive by his mysterious captors, he added: “They really want something from him. The organization that Jack Coleman’s character [H.R.G.] works for is on some sort of obvious research-oriented, as we call it, tag-and-release program. So there are things that they are gleaning by getting each one of these people. And remember, he is a character who seems to be exhibiting more than one power, which is intriguing to them as to how and why.”

Next up, Kristin over at E!Online had these spoilery little tidbits to throw our way:

Sylar holds the Bennets hostage. Get ready for a squeal-worthy, edge-of-your-seat episode next week, because Zachary Quinto (Sylar) is not messing around. And Mama Bennet is gonna have a rude awakening about what her beloved Rim Job (aka Horn-Rimmed Glasses, aka Mr. Bennet) has been up to all these years.Radioactive Guy is coming back. Rena Sofer (Nathan’s wife) is also coming back. She told me at the Fox party (doing press for that other amazing show she’s on, 24) that “they just called,” so we see her closer to the end of the season. She also said cryptically of her character’s future, “Next time you will see me in a wheelchair, but who knows?”Something tells me Eric Roberts is playing Linderman. Call it a hunch. As for the biggest reveal coming up in February sweeps—the identity of Claire’s father—well, let’s just say that, just like mommy, her daddy also has an ability. And it is truly an amazing twist!

And last but definately not least, we’ve learned, thanks to zotonian over at 9th Wonders, that Malcom McDowell will be joining the cast of Heroes as an ally of Nathan’s. Will he have abilities, they didn’t even hint - it was a small side note in the paper.

Tonight’s the night when NBC airs the much anticipated episode of Heroes where George Tekai makes his debut as Kaito Nakamura - Hiro’s rich father. We also get some great scenes as Claude reluctantly takes Peter under his wing - Peter has no idea what he’s in for.

Anyways TV Guide Online (courtesy of SpoilerFix) had this snippet from Tekai about his character Kaito.

George Takei reveals: Mr. Nakamura, who is one of the world’s wealthiest men, arrives with his bodyguards in a $450,000 car. He wants to bring his irresponsible son back to Japan. Hiro has mysteriously vanished to the United States, and that is intolerable! He has a need for appropriate defenses because there are evil people in the world - people who will kidnap rich men, or their children, and hold them for ransom. My character is very old school and believes in learning the business from the bottom up. He was brought up that way by his father, and he wants his son raised that way, too. That is why, when the series began, you first saw Hiro working in a cubicle. The Nakamuras are members of a long and very important Japanese dynasty. In ancient times we were in the shogun class. An old powerful family of the Japanese aristocracy would certainly have family treasures, and that could include a sword…. Only samurai were allowed to carry swords, and the upper echelon had the best of the swords, so therefore they became heirlooms.

Makes you wonder what those heirlooms are - I wonder if Linderman bought it from Kaito?

There was a different version of the Coming Weeks clip show during Conan’s show that the YouTubers managed to get online. There’s a bunch of tiny little extras that are in it that weren’t in the one posted last week, including some stuff with HRG. Check it out below:
