HeroSite source Mr.Video has revealed that the titles for episodes 20 and 21 are:
Chapter Twenty “String Theory”
Chapter Twenty-One “The Hard Part”
Also the story I’m hearing is that both episode 20 and 21 take place in the future. This makes sense with the pictures of Isaac about to become a new addition to Sylar’s brain collection in episode 19 (as seen in the NBC spoiler pictures) and the spoilers that Kristin released stating that the next major Hero death is in episode 22. This seems to indicate that Isaac’s death will be a cliffhanger at the end of episode 19.
Alright, finally got time to get all the spoilers on the spoiler pages up to date - was pretty far behind. The server, as you can probably tell, is back up and fully functional including all pages here and email. Between recovering email and catching up on some after hours side work I just had no time.
I’ve updated a lot of the images and basically gotten things in place for April 23 (which just isn’t getting here quick enough). I’ve also taken the opportunity to clean up some of the pages that’s been neglected in general.
There’s been some pretty good spoilers to come down the pike the last couple weeks. And while I’ve had brief moments to read them all, I just haven’t had time to post anything up.
CHAPTER 19 “.07 PERCENT” - There still seems to be some great spoilers floating about for this episode. It started with McDowell spilling the title and that Linderman may have powers of his own. An early peek at a scene between Linderman and Nathan shown at the Paley Festival in Hollywood where he shows Nathan around his gallery of prophetic paintings. And ending (so far) with a great collection of spoilerific pictures at NBC.com - including Sylar getting ready to do Isaac in (this is probably a cliffhanger ending as Kristin alludes to the next major death happening in episode 22). It looks like Peter and Sylar’s battle will end will end with Sylar getting thrown out a window and Peter dying (although not permanently) as a result a shard of said glass getting lodged in his skull.
On another note, you may remember a while back I said that we were working on some new stuff and features. Well, one of the features it appears that NBC has beaten us to the punch on (except a bit more elaborate). What we were looking at doing was having a section of the forums set aside where our readers could submit theories to be voted upon by other readers. Then, the top theories would be posted weekly on the front-page. If this sounds appealing then by all means drop into the forum and post about it.
Damn Canadians - they get to see Heroes a day earlier than we do. However, some are nice enough to share what they’ve learned with the rest of us who have to wait till tonight. I’d like to thank Ford Prefect over at Heroes the Series for doing just that two weeks in a row.
So if you’re ready, keep reading because the major revelations are posted below:
Nathan has been working with the FBI since his wife’s accident - Peter learns this.
Mohinder is not as clueless as we thought - he knows Zane is really Sylar and tricks him into drinking tea which sedates him.
The new hero, Candice Wilmer is a shapeshifter of some sort (although I believe she just makes people think she’s someone else) and is an “uber-bitch” (to quote Ford Prefect).
Claire’s new identity is Vivian. She tells The Haitian that Peter is the only one she can trust and ditches him at the airport.
Mohinder has Sylar sedated and tortures Sylar until he confesses to killing his father.
Simone is DEAD (in case anyone still needed clarification on that), Candice uses her power to make Isaac think she’s Simone.
Nathan helps Hiro get past security at the casino.
Niki is able to escape the mirror much like Jessica was and has been leaving clues to DL.
Mohinder tries to shoot Sylar but Sylar stopped the bullets and the IV - apparently turning the tables back on Mohinder.
Ando comes back (YEA!) and rescues Hiro while he’s stealing the sword.
Linderman was on to the the FBI’s plan and has Jessica kill them.
Niki manages to take control long enough to warn Nathan about Linderman knowing.
Hiro and Ando try to teleport out of the casino but end up five years in the future on top of the Deveaux building - the bomb has apparently not been stopped and everrything is all post-apocalyptic looking. Hiro is upset he didn’t prevent it.
Bennet talks to his wife but in reality it’s Candice using her power on him. Apparently Thompson is on to the farce about Claire and The Haitian.
The “higher-power” that The Haitian reports to is (as a lot of people guessed) Angela Petrelli (Nate and Pete’s crazy mother). She’s waiting for Claire at Peter’s apartment when she arrives. Apparently she knew all about Claire and has been trying to protect her.
Linderman knows about all of the heroes in general, including that Nathan can fly, Peter can sponge, and Claire can heal…
Peter goes to Mohinder’s apartment where he finds Mohinder on the ceiling and dripping in blood. Mohinder is still alive and utters a warning to Peter that Sylar is there but not soon enough.
Peter is slammed against the wall “I remember you, you’re like me. I want to see how that works.” He proceeds to do his trademark tk-knife on Peter. We see a line of blood on Peter’s forehead then a lock of hair drop to the floor… CLIFFHANGER here…
Hey folks, better late than never I say. Sorry for the late report, all of my time was concentrated on recovering from the server outage this past weekend. Here’s a few of the spoilers I picked up along the way (I’ll be back this afternoon sometime to add more):
KRISTIN @ E!ONLINE
When the season resumes in April Peter will have the legendary scar that future Hiro spoke of back in Chapter 5 - the result, his struggle with Sylar in this coming Monday’s episode Chapter Eighteen “Parasite”. Peter will also ditch the bangs (I never really saw the problem with em anyways, thought they added to his character) - in fact, he’ll be ditching hair altogether - BALD!
I just went to the Heroes set and…Oh. My. Gore. I can show you just about…oh, let’s see…nothing from my visit for the time being, because it’s such a huge, secret episode, and I’m under strict orders from NBC. Let’s just say there was a bloody, gory, end-of-the-world battle going on, with lots of blood and bumps and bruises (perhaps life-threatening) for some of our Heroic faves, so I can’t show you any of the gruesome footage until closer to the episode’s airdate (sometime in April or May). But, ohhh, how I can’t wait to show you! It’s gonna be insane! Bloody insane!
Peter is getting stronger! When asked about his “own personal Yoda” (the Invisible Man, Christopher Eccleston), Milo tells me: “Okay, we’ll talk in Star Wars. [Peter’s] going from a New Hopeto Empire Strikes Back, where he is a little bit of a Jedi, he can use his abilities, but he can’t use them entirely. Not to their full pinnacle. Not yet. But he will.” Watch your back, Sylar!
PREVIEWS FOR CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “PARASITE”
Access Hollywood has this weeks clips for Heroes including a peak at the followup between Isaac, Peter, and Simone getting shot; HRG talking to Thompson and not remembering any of the events at his house that unfolded last week; Sylar and Mohinder getting all buddy buddy - Sylar offers to go find Isaac (we know where this could end up) because Mo is tired from the drive back; Hiro and Nathan (the one posted below); Nathan and the FBI who want him to wear a wire when he goes to meet Linderman; and Claire and the Haitian at the airport. EDIT: The clips have been captured and put on YouTube.
Ausiello hints at more details about episode 20, which according to an interview with Jack Coleman (HRG) will take place five years in the future.
On the scoop front, AAdict Damon wrote in to tell me that Jack Coleman, during an interview with an L.A. radio station on Monday, revealed that Episode 20 will be set five years into the future. What he didn’t say is that (Spoiler alert) Hiro and Ando would be the ones making the trek.
I’m not sure what tv show this is from but it’s a clip from next weeks pod finale Chapter 18 “Parasite” (yes, they’ve shortened the title). The clip features Nathan bumping into Hiro in Vegas. The two talk and it would appear that Nathan is finally “getting it” and has come around. He agrees to help Hiro get past Linderman’s security. Great stuff - the onscreen chemistry between Pasdar and Oka is awesome.
Hey folks, HRG here to let our readers know… Over the weekend it seems that Hana was able to gain access into our system. We’ve begun the reconstruction process but are no way back in 100% working order. Currently forums and chat are not functioning. The only tables I was able to recover so far have been the word press tables (which is good because thats the bulk of the content here).
There wasn’t much going on in the forums so if I reload nothing will be missed there. Chat on the other hand is behaving oddly. I know its most likely to due to the fact that I’ve dumped Microsoft Server 2003 completely and am now running Wordpress the way it was meant to be, on pure Linux (that’ll teach them to ruin my upcoming previews by embedding them in Windows for Vista advertisements).
I’ll keep everything up to date and let you know if anything changes.
Thanks to Ojosombra @ 9th Wonders, we’ve learned that another clip has been added to the collection of clips for Company Man. This one is a flashback featuring HRG getting welcomed into The Company by Thompson (Eric Roberts). At the end of the clip we are introduced to HRG’s partner but the clip ends before we can see who it is. In an earlier spoiler it was said it would be shocking to learn who HRG’s partner used to be. The current speculation, none other than our invisible friend Claude Rains… Check out the clip below courtesy of Zaza815 at YouTube:
UPDATE: Just wanted to add a link to a new behind the scenes clip of this episode (thanks to NikisOfan @ 9th Wonders) which shows some of the aftermath outside of the Bennet house and crispy Claire and her standins goofing off. Looks like Matt and Claire help the Bennets escape Ted but Claire goes back inside for something. The front door blows off and out walks crispy Claire.
Thanks to the heads-up from HeroesInfo.com we’ve learned that NBC has posted a non-Vista version of the preview for this coming Monday’s episode Company Man. Head over to NBC and check it out: http://video.nbc.com/player.html?dlid=64206
Thanks to JettAsian at 9th Wonders who provided a link to the new Yahoo clips for Company Man. There’s some messed up stuff going on at the Bennet house. And it would appear Matt didn’t want to take the family hostage, just HRG - but Ted is pretty persuasive. In addition Matt can hear Claire’s thoughts and it comes out she’s aware of The Haitian as well. Matt takes HRG back to the factory while Ted holds the rest of the family hostage “if you’re not back in an hour, just look for the mushroom cloud…”.
Thanks to 9th Wonders member JettAsian we’ve learned that Heroes-TV.com has posted in their gallery a couple great scans from the latest TV Guide of Chapter Seventeen Company Man. Looks like they weren’t kidding about topping the autopsy table scene from Chapter Three - Claire gets the Freddy Krueger treatment (maybe she should apply at the Burnt Toast Diner). Wounded, Matt looks like he gets taken into The Company’s custody by the end of the episode. I just can’t stop humming “Burning Down The House!” Anyways, here are some direct links to the scans in their gallery:
