Check out the video Drucker sent Hana.

Awesome preview of next week.

Wow, that was awesome. That kind of preview sent chills down my spine, so unique. o.O

[Exoduso]

But unless West works/worked for the company, there's a 3rd flying man... I really hope there isn't though lol.

D: (Monday) (Can I Have it?) (Please)

that was pretty awesome xD
So next weeks episode is 4 months ago? :D

Kinda makes you wonder how that flying gene gets around so much. I mean I know Nathan got around in his day, but he can't be the father of both West AND Claire, or that'd just be... well, let's just hope that West and Claire have absolutely zero family relation, even if its second cousin thrice removed, or the same great great great grandparent.

'Heroes' Creator Apologizes to Fans

Tim Kring admits mistakes were made at the beginning of season 2, but promises to get back on track

On the chilly Monday morning that Hollywood's writers went on strike, Heroes creator Tim Kring called from the streets outside the Hollywood studio where his NBC series is shot. ''Yes, I'm picketing my own show,'' says the 50-year-old writer-producer. ''So surreal.''

But Kring wasn't calling to discuss labor woes — he was calling to explain why Heroes, suffering a creative decline and a 15 percent ratings drop from the same period last year, went from Human Torch hot to Iceman cold. The good news? A turnaround appears to be under way. After weeks of sluggish storytelling, the Nov. 5 episode recaptured some of last season's fanciful energy. We've also seen the next two episodes — and we like them, too. The cliff-hangers are back. Narrative purpose has been discovered. Old favorites like Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and Horn-Rimmed Glasses (Jack Coleman) take center stage. Even more encouraging: Kring himself is keenly aware that Heroes is broken. Here's his candid critique:

THE PACE IS TOO SLOW ''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''

THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER The premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter's vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ''We took too long to get to the big-picture story,'' he says.

THE ROOKIES DIDN'T GREET THEMSELVES PROPERLY New Heroes Monica (Dana Davis), Maya (Dania Ramirez), and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) ''shouldn't have been introduced in separate story lines that felt unattached to the show. The way we introduced Elle (Kristen Bell) — by weaving her in via Peter's story line — is a more logical way to bring new characters into the show.'' (That said, Kring says a few newbies won't make it beyond this second volume, which wraps Dec. 3.)

HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG Hiro's (Masi Oka) time-bending adventure in 17th-century Japan — where he mentored samurai hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders) — finally came to an end on Nov. 5. But Kring says it ''should have [lasted] three episodes. We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.''

YOUNG LOVE STINKS Kring regrets sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ''I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''

Yet while Heroes has finally found some dramatic traction, this second volume is pretty much a wash. The Dec. 3 episode has been retooled to function as a potential season finale — a move inspired by the writers' strike and a desire to give the show ''a clean slate'' when it goes back into production for Volume 3. At that point, Kring wants to craft a rebooted Heroes that can attract new fans and win back those who've tuned out: ''The message is that we've heard the complaints — and we're doing something about it.''

I remember last season he said many times that this show was a Drama and not an Action show. I guess he's changing his mind, or someone is changing it for him.

I agree with all the changes. Id like to see the group of heroes limited to 4-5 people fighting for good and only a few main people who are evil.

So it turns out Bob is working for Adam. He manipulates Mohinder to make a mutated shanti immune to his own blood so Adam can cleanse the world.

They made the mutated virus before they recruited Mohinder.

It's nice to see they finally understood that. Took them a while to figure out Heroes's fanbased wanted to watch something different than your usual TV drama.

This is a blog by one of the Heroes Hana, AKA Wireless. She was only in two episodes, but shes one of the main characters in all the extra content.

Check out the video in her last post
http://samantha48616e61.com/popups/drucker_clip.shtml (not sure if I can link it like this)

This is suppose to be vide of the the explosion in the S1 finally. Only its from a boat just outside of NYC. I wont spoil the video for you, but the video does not stop during the explosion. You get to see the aftermath. Its pretty awesome.


http://yamagatofellowship.org/videoEvents.shtml

This is a collection of videos that create a fake documentry on Kensei (based on Hiro already changing history).

There's lots and lots of other content. Micah and Hana are friends and they have conversations online you can read. The weekly comics explore tons of cool untold stories like the origins of The Haitian, Betty (AKA Candice) and lots more. If you've only been watching the TV show and feel frustrated by the lack of information make sure you check this stuff out!

Wouldn't a nuclear explosion above New York still destroy it... like... aren't nukes suppose to go off before they hit the ground for example. Oh well.

[Rem]

Nice Yarr, the S1 explosion from an outside view is sweet and I like the mock documentary. Thanks for posting the content.

[kuronosan]

Even though it was already posted...

I don't think it was a nuke perse, because if it went off in NYC there would be no NYC. Everything would get decimated unless it was like a Hydrogen Bomb or something but I guess in this universe you can make the bomb be whatever you want.

So here's an interesting topic to talk about. We've seen Matt's powers evolve to the next level, but we really havent seen anyone else make that next step. So that gets me thinking. What will the rest of the powers evolve into?

I'll make a few guesses.


Nathan
I have my fingers crossed that Nathan's power evolves to allow him to not just fly at super sonic speeds, but also run around and move at super sonic speeds. Its not hard to imagine that Nathan could use the same projected energy to make him move faster all around, rather than just through air.

Peter
I'm guessing that Peter's next step is just him learning how to take other people's powers to the next level and probably the ability to use more than one power at once (we've seen him use only two powers at once).

[layoneil]

Peter does not need a secondary mutation.

not everyone will/should have one, only the people who sucks (like Nathan).

[Serif]

The only people I really see evolving are Claire/Micah/Nathan.

Nathan is going to play a large role here soon, Micah is young enough to keep on the series and follow his evolution if he decides to stay with the show, Claire just got a slot on the show for a while if they want to give her the same power as Kensei.

[Iono]

Why the hell would u run to tire urself (should be some extra energy spent moving your legs) when you can fucking fly!

And I think Nathan will end up with invincibility too, I mean it's fucking retarded if you can fly but aren't invincible.

I'm wondering what power you are all talking about when you say Kensei's new power? Are you referring to the fact that he doesn't age? Sorry if it sounds stupid, I just figured it is typical with all immortals. Otherwise they'd be hella old walking corpses. Or is it because they never said he was immortal, just that he could heal? I kinda assumed in my mind that he was immortal, since if you can always heal then you can't die iono o.oa

It still hasn't been shown that you will or will not die if the heart lets say was cut out but people are mainly wondering if Kensei and Claire's power are on in the same.

It was never stated that Kensei was immortal, seeing how they have shown Claire age I guess somewhat. Their power might completely unrelated but what we can assume now is that when Claire fully develops she will be the same as Kensei.

[Eaglestrike]

That clip about the explosion is interesting. Not only did Nathan fly him up there, but he wasn't knocked out so much that he just fell to the ground...he actually flew back down and caught Peter.

Unless of course Peter was the one who did the flying (which kinda makes more sense since Nathan thought Peter died, Nathan passing out and Peter saving him then disappearing fits the aftermath storyline).

[Lurking Badger]

Claire is growing, not aging though. That happens post age 20 or so.
