Who shot Nathan? Will he die? Did her mother have anything to do with it? Did HRG do it?
Is Niki dead?
Does Adam escapes being buried alive?
Who are the new villains?



....and WTF happened to Caitlin?...

These questions, and more, are left up in the air when Volume 2 ended, and with no resolution to the Writer's strike, it might be a while until Heroes returns.

So let discuss what's to come and what you think it will happen...

Here there are some spoiler about Volume 3

SPOILER ALERT





- Monica will take centre stage as a story arc about her being St Joan unfolds.

- Right from the start of we will know what the big disaster or major plot line is. And it will probably be linked to something small that we already know about from this series.

- A new villain named Knox who returns to his native city of New Orleans, “the criminal territory he used to run before he was sent to prison.” This puts him directly in the path of Micah, his great-aunt Uhura and Monica Daniels.

- It will focus on something other than The Company this time.

- We will see more younger generation heroes.

- The return of some characters from the Season 1 (like Claude) woot
David Anders ( Adam ) said he will be back, this means he’s not going to die in Volume 2

- Micah’s storyline will end also

- Zachary Quinto (Sylar) will be more bad ass then ever and when we come back he will kill a star on the show

- Villains is the start of something bigger for Heroes and hopefully it will be more fast pace then Generations (Volume 2).

- Ali Larter will return to the show (as Kristin at E!Online has already reported) but are planning to wrap up her storyline up in Volume 3. (eitor’s note: Also, there are rumors floating around that Ali Larter’s evil alter ego Jessica will be a part of the Volume and not Niki.)

Plus some info from Tim Kring himself:

There are plenty more baddies coming after the writers’ strike concludes. In fact, the title of Volume 3 — “Villains” — says it all.”We’ve introduced a cadre of them over the course of the show and we’re going to see them rise up. Just as the heroes have found each other to save the world, the villains will do the same with the opposite intent.” And their numbers may be legion. “The Company has catalogued many of these people over the years. There may be more of them down in that basement than we have alluded to so far.”

Will Sylar be their ringleader? “Sylar getting his power back does not bode well for our heroes,” says Kring, who admits there is one upside to the writers’ strike: Originally, Quinto was not going to be available for much of Volume 3 because of his commitment to the new Star Trek film. Now, with the strike dragging on, he’ll likely be done playing young Spock by the time Heroes returns to production.

Yay.

Nathan will either be alive, or returning in flashbacks/Alternate time-lines, due to his actor signing on for another season.

No more New Orleans crap, its already the worst part of the show, and being down there means that story will never be connected to the main story since they are so far apart.

Sylar is back, it's about time, there are rumors and hints, that Adam may return; Noah has to leave his family, all I can say is with these promises, this Volume will be better then the second, hopefully and with the WS they have a long time to think things through.

Enough with sylar allready, his role in season one was legendary, he should have been killed and stayed dead

Glad to hear some new villains are going to come together, i wonder what they are capable of

Yeah it would have been better if he had died, or was in hiding/healing.

i love sylar, dont ever say he should die. i hope he ends up takin over the world. im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed maya is alive. omg i wish sylar had killed him. is it just me or was elle particularly useless?

Sylar is a much better Villain, if he does die it should be in a climatic fight.

if sylar ever dies, it should be during the final episode against peter bwahahah!



...its the only way

yes it should but i hope sylar will realize he should team up. he should head the villains. it would make him so bad ass.i liked him with a baseball cap he should wear one again that was so tight. he needs alot more powers to keep up with peter now

so he should become the "Magneto" of a "brotherhood"??

sounds like a good idea, but he's more likely to kill all of his subordinates to get their powers

here's what i think will happen to Nikki,

future Hiro/Peter saves her before the big boom
takes her to see some horrible future which she and the others must stop

because that seems to be the pattern for the seasons

what dont u understand. its all about a villain uprising. no future, the present. cant wait!!! big fight scenes

well yeah,

a character will see a future run by evil powered people
and then they'll stop it

season1 was Hiro seeing the bomb explode

season2 was Peter seeing the virus' aftermath

don't you see a pattern emerging?
well, i think there is anyway

I hope Sylar sets up a guild of villains.

like i said before,

what's to stop him from killing them and taking their power?

anyway, these "villains" are the anti-thesis to our heroes
as our heroes met up by fate to save the world
the "villains" will meet up by fate to try and destroy the world(or so i understand from what is written in the first post)

I guess he will use them to stop the other heroes, use them and then once they have helped him, kill them one by one for there power.

I hope there is a new villain, stronger then Sylar.

I assume Sylar will gather this group , concoct some kind of assault. Get their asses whupped badly and then Sylar stealing their abilities for another final confrontation with Peter and Hiro.

I hope there is a new better villain who turns on Sylar.

100% Agreed.

You get a gold star.

He has had his time, let him go out with a bang.

his showdown with Peter should go down in T.V history

It would be stupid for sylar to team up with anyone. He wants to steal peoples power.

I thought the next season might have more to do with the company's crimes, but whatever.

Apparently they are focusing less on the company, in the next volume.

Well it makes sense that bad people would end up with powers. Pretty much so far it was just normal everyday people. But what if a killer got powers or some wack job or drug addict etc etc

INFO on VOLUME 3

http://tv.ign.com/articles/841/841573p2.html

IGN TV: What can you say about the fates of Nathan and Niki?

Kring: Well, my answer to that is it doesn't look good! It looks pretty dire. But as we've seen on Heroes, death is one of those things that's very, shall we say, fluid. So I would not completely count them out.

IGN TV: Some fans are wondering if Claire's blood is too much of a miracle cure. I'm assuming that's something you've thought about as well?

Kring: Yes. There's only so many times you can go to certain wells or it gets tempting to take the easy route. There's a few other tricks up our sleeve in that respect. The fans should just know that Volume 3, "Villains", when we hit the ground running is going to be pretty high velocity. While that doesn't mean action so much, it means tension and all that kind of stuff. It's going to be the cranked up version of our show.



.... and Volume 3 was supossed to be called "Exodus" and Volume 4 "Villains"... interesting...

That's good because I want more action and less drama

I want a healthy balance between the two, as long as the drama is actually decent drama...

Less Company will probably be a good move, I think. I'm tired of the mostly empty complexes passing for Company secret bases. And does Bob really do everything himself? Sheesh.

I'm hoping that, since Sylar is still around, he'll redeem himself as the villainous bastard we know he is.

It needs action, just my opinion, its what everyone is pretty much waiting for...

i mean, not TOO much... but at least a bit more then the previous volumes

I would be bored if it were constant action. Action flicks are great and all, but if you don't care about the characters due to crumby drama, then it's not worth it.

yea, too much action would be lame, but it still needs a bit more, as in.. people vs people

When I first learned about this show, I thought it would be like X-men. That's why I like it so much. I agree that there shouldn't be a fight in every show, but why call the show Heroes if there's a fight only in the season finale? i think the show would be better if it didn't try to tell everyone's story, instead of just the cheerleader, Peter, Hiro, Sylar, Parkman, and Mohinder

Heroism does not always require fighting. ermm

I guess not . . .

I really liked the feel for season one and the first half of season 2 allot better.
It just came across are very realistic in how everything would actually go down in this scenario and it seemed to be exceptionally well planed and thought out. IMO

I want more drama like in season 1 and maybe alittle more action but it doesn't require a whole lot. To much will change the nature of the show entirely for me anyway. But I wouldn't mind to see just a tap more fighting.

Anyway I think the title is kind of a pun in itself. To me the show isn't about comic book heroes but more real people with comic book hero powers. Hence the "Heroes" pun. Also IMO!

Yea, i dont want to see no capes and spandex.

The whole reality of it is great, even though.... they have powers...

you get what i mean

It'll just get me excited seeing villains and heroes going at it

Excellent!

In a way i agree, instaed of 3 episodes of maya and alexandro running from place to place...it should have been done quick,then the action we did have would have been at a better pace

I dont believe there can ever be to much action, but the story comes first

Example......season one ending..dont tell me there should not have been more action..the climax was bad....but with our love of the characters we still get hooked by peter and nathans sacrafice

I tend to agree with both notions, but lean towards more action, without the sacrafice of a good story

very true

all i want is for it to come back on air asap obviously without making stupid demands

Any news on when this season is airing?

I heard that it's supposed to be coming back in September. Exactly when, I don't know.

Here's a cool video that I don't recall seeing.

Keep in mind this video was show back in December, when the strike was still on and we didn't know if the show was going to be back or not.

SOME THINGS could CHANGE when the show returns September 15th.

If I'm not mistaken, 13 episodes were produce last year, but only 11 aired and the ending of Volume 3 was slightly change, this footage surely belong to those episodes.
Like I said some could end up as deleted or alternate material, specially since Kristen Bell isn't yet officially confirmed to be back for next season.... then again I could be mistaken

I thought I heard Bennet say that he had “like 12 Sylars running free” or something along those lines...wtf...

there's also rumors about a shape shifter baddie...or some one else using Candice's ability... that's if Sylar doesn't have it, which I think he doesn't...

September 15th

I'm in looove.

here's a summary of the video above (the quality was terrible)

*Angela: “The prisoners who escaped on level five are the most dangerous. The most powerful. Rapists. Arsonists. Killers.”

* Angela Petrelli has moved into a powerful role at The Company

* Sylar holding an unknown man up against a wall with telekinesis
* The unknown man telling Sylar, "You can't hurt me," to which Sylar raises his arm to choke him or remove his brain
* Noah turning around and firing a gun upwards as Elle watches
* Sylar dropping an unknown figure to the ground
* Elle seeing something and saying, "Oh...crap"
* Ando in a busy street gliding toward the camera (kinda like Spike Lee did with Philip Seymour Hoffman in 25th Hour and Denzel Washington in Inside Man)
* Bob telling Elle, "The clock is ticking"
* Sylar laughing evilly at Elle, who becomes frightened
Sylar telling someone, "You tried to take away my abilities, didn't you?"

*There’s also a scene in which most of the major Heroes are all dead. Described by Noah Bennet like “12 Sylars running free,” the shots shows Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) as a corpse in a pool of blood, Hiro (Masi Oka) been pinned to the wall with his own sword and Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) with his throat torn open.
Noah saying, "These people are very dangerous... and powerful... like twelve Sylars running free"
* Angela standing in a dark corridor and Sylar grabbing her by the shoulders from behind
* Elle and Sylar talking: "I'm not afraid of you" / "You should be... I'm a psychopathic killer" / "Takes one to know one"
* Sylar also pins Elle to the floor and drags her with telekinesis
* Knox attacking someone and looking at his bloodied hand
* Knox, new villain seems to have preternatural speed–and used that to rip a cop’s heart out of his chest.)
* Claire running from someone

- Japanese actress Eriko Tamura, who played the 17th-century love interest of Hiro (Masi Oka) on NBC's Heroes last season, offered SCI FI Wire a few spoilers about what's next for her character as the show readies itself for a third season. Tamura said that her character, Taeko, was supposed to be transported to the present in episodes that were scripted but not finished before the writers' strike commenced last fall. "I am going to be in the present, yes," Tamura said in an interview. "I actually had a few episodes of the script then," Tamura said, adding: "Suddenly, the strike happened, so we had to stop the shooting." Tamura added that she expects to return to the show for the upcoming third season, which begins production in May. "We are not to that point where they think about the storylines yet ... because of the strike," Tamura said.



btw: should I use spoiler tags?... or is it ok if I just post'em, I mean, "SPOILERs" already written on the thread's title...

Since it's pretty much a spoiler thread, I don't think you have to worry about it.

Heres a new villainess. Looking forward to it.

Spoiler from Kristin @ E!

Thanks, i needed some heroes info...i have been suffering from withdrawls

Just in case i change my sig before the show starts up again, i will post my new sig

Some more Spoilers...

Video from the set of Heroes Season 3



Spoilers from Kristin @ E!:






sounds good...

and then there's this:

The Linderman Spoiler:

Malcolm McDowell (Daniel Linderman on Heroes) was at the NY Big Apple Comic Book Convention (June 7-8, 2008), and when asked about his possible return to Heroes he was quoted saying: “Yes, Linderman will be back next season, for five episodes.”

Revived? Flashback?…only time will tell.




SO....

Another time-travel to stop the future (Claire and such?) or another trip to the past?
...every season will have a dark terrible future that has to be stop?... hope not, but it's getting redundant....

no flashback

possibly a travel through time though

I know its a long shot, but ever since they brought back Claire's father with Claire's blood, i was thinking, everyone who was killed has a chance to make it back....the company was always there cleaning up the messes that were left behind, i can see them taking everyone and using them in the future at some point, basically they set up the plot to bring anybody back

which i don't like, but whatever

hope they'll make it work, although i am glad HRG is still alive

Claire's Blood it's just too convenient...., but it is, afterall, Heroes... like a Comic-book

im pretty sure they understand that if they keep doing this

people will fall away from the show




They are smart enough to create such a great show, they aren't stupid


or are they???

we had season 2... I wouldn't blame anyone for having concerns...

but at least Kring acknowledged the problems,and could turn it all around to give us a better season

Season two wasn't all that bad

it wasn't, but compared to the first season, the quality dropped for the most of it

Newest trailer

yzwQkerJYfM

better quality:

I might be going out on limb here, but next season does look good

Yay! Future Claire

He says: "This is god's plan" ....
