Hey folks, quick update. There were a couple good articles posted over at Wizard Universe this past Monday that seemed to have been looked over by a lot of the fan sites (including us) in the hoopla of Heroes return and spoiler barage.

The first is titled A HEROES JOURNEY which is a summary of where the show has been and where it’s going. It includes some really great spoilers about the direction Niki/Jessica is taking during this part of the season (errm should I say POD as they call it). “Niki was haunted by Jessica and we turn the tables on that in the next Pod,” reveals Kring. “Jessica takes over and it’s now Niki who has to fight to get her identity back.”. Also, it seems Mohinder will be making a trip to LA to locate Matt. The article is a pretty good read so check it out if you have time.

The second article is a TV Q&A WITH TIM KRING and is pretty general and the spoilers within are mostly covered in better detail in the above article or elsewhere on the net. Overall it’s another enjoyable insight into the series so it’s still worth checking out.

Looks like the spoiler flow has slowed back down to normal a bit after the flood of spoilers we had on Monday and Tuesday. However, pretty much most of the spoilers today were in the more entertaining media format - lets start from the top:

HEROESTHESERIES.COM AND IESB.NET

Sam over at Heroes The Series alerted his readers to a nice behind the scenes clip over at IESB.net (you can view it HERE). It’s got some great stuff in it and includes some of the first footage seen of George Tekai as Kaito Nakamura.

Kaito is seen getting out of a rather nice silver and expensive looking car. A black van pulls up and you hear Hiro on the inside exclaim “Papa?!” in Japanese. If you remember the series of previews shown in December and early January, we saw some goons chasing down Hiro and Ando in a parking garage. It’s the same van from the previews so it looks like they work for Hiro’s dad. Afterwards Masi and George share a nice “Star Trek” moment during a photo-shoot.

Also in the clip we see Claude and Peter shooting a scene on a rooftop. Before hand they look to be rehearsing Claude tossing Peter off the roof and saying “FLY!”. In addition there appears to be a bit of conflict between them (man I’m really loving the dynamic between these two) as they discuss the aftermath of having spied on Simone and Isaac having dinner together. I seem to remember another spoiler that says Peter’s faith in those around him change as a result of training with Claude. He feels Peter is naive and is trying to open his eyes to how people think about him when he’s not around.

HEROSITE.NET

HeroSite posted some great pictures today from Chapter Fourteen Distractions (check them out HERE). There’s some good spoilers buried in those pics… Ok, some jump right out at you and include: Sylar wearing a PrimaTech Paper uniform and Jessalyn Gilsig as Claire’s bio-mom Meredith (nothing revealing her powers though).

THE AUSIELLO REPORT

As you may remember, yesterday Michael Ausiello broke news about a new female character debuting in Chapter Eighteen named Faith that will be played by Missy Peregrym - a female temptress who “wields a tremendous amount of sex appeal” and is willing to “get her hands dirty” for her employer. He promised that today he’d give us a clue to what her powers are in the form of one of his famous asterisk cryptograms. Here ya go, speculate away:

Ausiello: As promised, here’s a hint about the special power that Missy Peregrym’s new character possesses: It takes what **** ********’* **** can do and ratchets it up a notch.

This one isn’t easy folks and I’ve seen only a handful of guesses which include: “Greg Grunberg’s Matt” and “Nora Zehetner’s Eden”. Both very good guesses and I’m liking the last one as she’s probably the replacement for Eden.

Over at HeroesTheSeries.com vmarti1 (GOOD CATCH) has pointed the way to a nice clip of Peter and Claude talking about training. Claude is definately a little reluctant and I’m certainly reminded a bit of Yoda and Luke. Peter says he can handle the training, Claude responds with “Thats what they all say”. They? sounds like he used to be a trainer of some sort. Best line is from Claude though “You might want to reconsider dying!”

UPDATE: There’s actually now a total of FIVE (yes, FIVE) clips from The Fix posted on TV.Com, thanks for the update vmarti1.

• Suresh pleads with Nathan to help him find Peter.
• Claire asks the Haitian if her real parents are still alive.
• Claude offers to teach Peter how to control his abilities.
• D.L. visits Nikki at the asylum and tries to convince her that she should escape.
• Matt tries to tell his wife that H.R.G. is responcible for all his abilities.
• H.R.G. orders the doctors to keep Sylar alive as long as possible.

• No one will be able to find Peter for several episodes [ed. new tag line? How do you find an invisible man?].
• Nathan WILL win his campaign.
• There will be no more new characters introduced in the Heroes comics [ed. thank god, Hana’s kewl but those who don’t follow Heroes outside that one hour a week can get confused].

WOW! Great stuff Plastic Bag!

And speaking of TV Guide, Ausiello threw out another tidbit today. We’ve seen an earlier spoiler about a new female character that “wields a tremendous amount of sex appeal” and is willing to “get her hands dirty” for her employer. Ausiello says that the new character’s name is Faith (played by Missy Peregrym) and will debut in chapter eighteen. He promises that tomorrow he will drop us a clue to her power in one of his famous asterisk cryptograms.

YouTubers pull through with not just the US version but the Canadian version of the preview for Chapter Thirteen - The Fix. The Canadian versions are always a bit better because they tend to show a little more than the US versions and this time around is no different. Note, these are the previews that were shown at the end of Chapter Twelve - Godsend.

This morning, HeroesTheSeries.com covered a story that originally broke yesterday by Michael Ausiello of TV Guide. Ausiello says that Eric Roberts will be joining the cast of Heroes during the February sweeps as an associate of Mr.Bennet (HRG). It was a little short snippet of a Heroes mention on Ausiello’s blog and it’s quite easy to see how it might have gotten missed in the hoopla of anticipation in waiting for Heroes return yesterday.

The report is starting to circulate around the industry as well as several other fan sites. The growing rumblings we’re hearing is that he will be playing a character named Thompson. For those who read the comics, you may remember Thompson only as a name that came across HRG’s cell phone when testing Hana Gitelman during the Wireless mini-arc. Looks like we now have a face to go with the name.

More gossip from the queen herself, following up last night’s episode with yet more wonderful and juicy spoilers. Here’s the hilights:

• Matt’s wife is pregnant but who’s da daddy, Matt or Tom?
• While Zach is now officially “straight”, Loeb says that there are other gay characters [ed. who cares though unless it ties in to the plot].
• Nathan honestly believes he can help Peter from exploding [ed. I’m thinking maybe he takes him to Mohinder - we have seen the three of them together in previews where Peter asks “you can cure me?”].
• There’s a flashback episode explaining HRG’s past (Chapter 17 Company Man, see spoilers section) - in it we also learn who HRG’s partner was (yup, partner - let speculation fly).

Staying ahead of the YouTubers, NBC has the official clip of the Hana Teaser up and online at the NBC Heroes 360 Site. Just point your browsers to http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ and scroll down to Featured Videos near the bottom.

Here’s a hilight of the spoilers contained within:

• Hana shows Ted a schematic of the gun used to make the incision on their necks.
• In an interesting twist on the original terrorist plot-line, Hana wants to use Ted to “nuke” HRG’s little group “I can find them Ted. And you can nuke them.” Talk about a chip on the shoulder.

The question is, what chapter is this clip from?

HeroSite scores with some screen caps of the preview as well as some great promo stills (including George Tekai as Kaito Nakamura) for next week’s all new chapter of Heroes, The Fix.

In addition, there’s a few screen grabs of the Hana meets Ted teaser that aired at 8:25p during Deal or No Deal (instead of the advertised 8:30p). As soon as someone get’s the teaser up on YouTube, Deveaux is gonna hook you folks up!
