... While there is time spent with nearly the entire cast, including Hiro's adventures in ancient Japan, a lot of the footage focuses on Noah Bennet (AKA HRG), Claire, and the evil Sylar, who seems to have not gotten over his wish to kill the indestructible cheerleader. There are also glimpses of new cast members David Anders, Dania Ramirez, and Dana Davis.

I still think Nathan dies, though I don't want him to.
but it's a bit weird to see him in the places he is. I dont know but it seems to me like he were in post-bomb New York, in the Building Simone's Father
we'll find out soon enough

IGN TV: Let's talk about Heroes. You're writing your episode of Origins?
Smith: Yeah, I am in the midst of writing it right now. I flew through the first twenty, twenty-two pages and now I kind of have to write myself out of a corner. So I'm taking a little longer with the back half of the script.
IGN TV: So is it completely self-contained or are you going to have any of the regular character in it?
Smith: No, self-contained. No characters from the series. The origin of Origins so to speak, is that last year Heroes went off the air for a month to catch up with their production schedule. It's a big show, it's tough to just churn it out because they're essentially making a feature a week. So, what they wanted to do was kind of have a series to plug in for that moment when they need to go off the air for a mini-hiatus to catch up with their production schedule. So, Tim was like let's do a show that kind of introduces new characters that might possibly be on in the next season. So it'll still be Heroes but at the same time it won't be Heroes "proper." But it will take place in the Heroes universe. So the idea is that if I went in and was like "I want to use Hayden, Quinto and Ali Larter," they'd be like "You're high, dude. The whole reason we're doing this spin-off is so that we can concentrate on Heroes without losing air time." So no, the short answer is no. There won't be any of the main characters in my show. However, it takes place, at least in my episode, and I hadn't really even thought to ask because it really sounded like they need their cast. But what I'm doing is set firmly in their universe and it's tied in by reference points, but I'm not going to be using that cast when they're busy on the main show.
IGN TV: What kind of "hero" are you working on? Can you give me a hint without getting in trouble?
Smith: Girl.
IGN TV: Girl?
Smith: I'm doing a girl. That is the most I can say at this point.
IGN TV: Do you have a favorite character on the show?
Smith: I do really dig the cheerleader storyline, just because it was so odd. It went in a bunch of different directions, in terms of her father - or her adopted father. She's presented as the lynch pin early on and then, like as you get to the end of the season and you're like "I don't get it, why'd they have to save the cheerleader to save the world?" But I don't know, her character was so involving and charming. That chick is fun to watch. I also think Ali's stuff is interesting, performance-wise she had to pull off two completely different characters and I thought that was kind of cool. Her story was the toughest to understand for a while.
IGN TV: Right, because you weren't sure if she was actually two people, or what was going on…
Smith: Yeah, cause you're like what the f***? Is she twins, what's going on? With everyone else, when you get to Claire, it's like "I get it, she heals." And then when you get to the Petrellis, you get what their powers are. And with Hiro, you get what he does. But Ali's character was the most difficult to explain I think. She pulled it off man, I dug that. I really don't think there's a bad character in that bunch.
IGN TV: It's pretty admirable what they did. Going back and watching it now, you can see in one of the early episodes where Hiro launches himself into the future he finds Isaac's corpse, exactly the way he ends up getting killed. They really had so much of it planned.
Smith: Yeah, they had to have a road map for that show. That's not something you can make up week to week.

coming from Jack Coleman and Tim Kring blog at the official site
The Virus
Tim: Look for the virus to play a major role in this particular volume. It becomes something that's quite dangerous to every single character.
More Strong Female Heroes?
Tim: Yes, there's a crop of them as a matter of fact! Tonight's episode had Maya played by Dania Ramirez, who is going to have to be tested as a hero in order to overcome the obstacles that she faces. The other is Monica played by Dana Davis who is introduced in episode 4 and many of you know that we just signed Kristen Bell to be on our cast as well, so look forward to her playing a very interesting, delicious character.
Chris Eccleston?
T: We have no deal with Chris at this time though we would love to revisit that character. He's a very busy working actor so finding time is difficult.
J: Plus, he's invisible so he could be there and you wouldn't know it.
Debate over extant of Peter's absorption of Sylar's abiltities
T: You kind of have to keep watching to find out. To be honest, it's not clear to the audience how much of Sylar's abilities Peter has absorbed, so I think we will all have to stay tuned for that now that people on the east coast know of Peter's fate.
Also, people have asked if there will be self-contained episodes. We will never have an episode with just one hero, but we learned that the audience likes to spend more time in one episode with one character, but because we have so many characters, that gets difficult for us, but that's definitely the goal to spend more time with individual characters.
Other Bennets
Jack: I really can't tell you a whole lot about Lyle. I can tell you that Sandra definitely is much more in the loop this time and has quite a spine and backbone to her this season, more so than last season. Now she has much more input into things. Claire, obviously has a monstrous storyline and she's got the love interest now. And obviously the complications with Wes is only going to get more...I obviously don't want her to have a boyfriend and not only does she have one, but she has one with a history! Flying boyfriends are VERY distracting!
Is Origins the League of Extraordinary Old People?
Tim: Origins ia a completely separate series based on the idea that there are people all over the world emerging with these powers. Each one of the Origins episodes deals with one or a couple of these characters in a closed ended storyline that has almost nothing to do with the world of Heroes. They are complete stories unto themselves. And the ages of these characters hasn't been determined yet.
Besides Kevin Smith, who's been hired for Origins
Tim: We've now hired Eli Roth who is behind the Hostel movies. Also Michael Dougherty, who wrote Superman Returns, and one of the X Men movies. And also John August, who is one of the preeminent screenwriters in Hollywood. He wrote Tim Burton's "Big Fish," "Go," and others. So there's some really good writers and I'll be writing the first episode. Look for some very well known directors to also be attached.

what could Peter still retained form Sylar? did he absorb all of his powers? or in order for him to have them, Sylar would have to use them before him?

What's funny? Eating brains isn't a power. We're not entirely sure if he even eats them. We just know that he can take something and figure out how it works.
of course we don't know what he "actually" does... and honestly, I don't wanna know, it's the kind of mystery from the show that doesn't need an answer... at least not to me.
All I meant was that Peter would go around killing people to get them rid of their brains, like Sylar... that's a joke btw
