In slow motion! Fans might think that there's a chance he could come back because characters come back on this show all the time, but producer Tim Kring says that this is final. <br />
<br />
And now it looks like it might not be the only permanent death on the show.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/there-could-be-yet-another-permanent-death-coming-up-on-heroes/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>There could be yet another permanent death coming up on Heroes</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/there-could-be-yet-another-permanent-death-coming-up-on-heroes/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19260018/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/there-could-be-yet-another-permanent-death-coming-up-on-heroes/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>david tennant</category><category>heroes</category><category>jane curtin</category><category>mohinder</category><category>nbc</category><category>rex is not your lawyer</category><category>sendhil ramamurthy</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:29:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Heroes - The Fifth Stage</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="middle" alt="Heroes: The Fifth Stage" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/12/heroes_091201.jpg" /><br />
<em>(S04E12)</em> One of the comic books that I never expected to enjoy is Marvel's <em>X-Factor</em>. It used to be your typical spandex and fists adventure, but then it changed into a noir detective series, with mutants feature much more subdued powers. One of the best of these is Madrox, also known as Multiple Man. Upon impact of any kind, he splits into two beings, and then his doppelgangers retain this ability.<br />
<br />
Why am I talking about a comic book character in a review about <em>Heroes</em>? Well, aside from the obvious connection, we got introduced to a new character this week. With Ray Park's Edgar gone from the Sullivan Bros. circus, Samuel turns to another denizen of the big top to step in and be his right-hand man, or right hands.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - The Fifth Stage</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19259830/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/01/review-heroes-the-fifth-stage-recap/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>cristine rose</category><category>CristineRose</category><category>david h lawrence xvii</category><category>DavidHLawrenceXvii</category><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>elisabeth rohm</category><category>ElisabethRohm</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>madeline zima</category><category>MadelineZima</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:55:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Remember that Heroes death?

<br />
We were told several weeks ago that a <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/this-heroes-spoiler-makes-no-sense-at-all/">major character</a> was going to be killed off of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> soon. Of course, <em>Heroes </em>has a way of killing off characters and then they come back in one way or another: didn't really die, saved by time travel, had a twin, another person takes over their body, etc, etc. But this major character's death is going to be permanent, and it happens in tonight's episode, "The Fifth Stage."<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/30/remember-that-heroes-death-it-happens-tonight/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Remember that Heroes death?

(S04E11)</em> I am thankful that we are finally getting to the meat of this volume. I am thankful that we are inching closer to the inevitable conclusion of this battle between Sylar and Nathan over who will retain control of the body. And I am thankful that Angela Petrelli, the always incomparable Cristine Rose, was back this week.<br />
<br />
Also making a return appearance for the Bennett family Thanksgiving dinner was Sandra, along with her new beau Doug. And, of course, Mr. Muggles. It's sweet that Muggs fell in love with Doug's dog, but that doesn't excuse Sandra for dating such a total tool. It's a little awkward to think of going to your ex's holiday, but it's not unheard of. Particularly since she probably already knew Claire was going to be there.<br />
<br />
Not to be outdone, Samuel had a Thanksgiving dinner of his own back at the Carnival, but Hiro certainly wasn't thankful to be there.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/24/review-heroes-thanksgiving-recap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - Thanksgiving</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/24/review-heroes-thanksgiving-recap/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19251881/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/24/review-heroes-thanksgiving-recap/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>ashley crow</category><category>AshleyCrow</category><category>cristine rose</category><category>CristineRose</category><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>madeline zima</category><category>MadelineZima</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>ray park</category><category>RayPark</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:18:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Chuck to return in January</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/20/chuck-to-return-in-january/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/20/chuck-to-return-in-january/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/20/chuck-to-return-in-january/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/chuck/" rel="tag">Chuck</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="286" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/chuck-dvd071708.jpg" alt="Chuck" />Chuck </em>will be <a href="http://insidetv.aol.com/2009/11/19/nbc-sets-chuck-season-3-premiere-date-jan-10/">returning to the airwaves</a> on NBC on Sunday January 10th at 8 PM. The third season will start with a two-hour premiere and then the show will be on again the following night in its regular timeslot right after <em>Heroes</em>. This is three hours of <em>Chuck </em>over two days.<br />
<br />
The pity is that <em>Chuck </em>is actually a good show and <em>Heroes </em>hasn't been as such since the first season. Perhaps <em>Heroes </em>should be the lead-in for <em>Chuck</em>? With the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/nbc-wants-more-chuck-and-so-do-i/">boost in the number of episodes</a> and the guest-stars galore slated for the coming season, it's a very exciting time to be a Chuckaholic like me. This could also be a sign that NBC is giving more support for <em>Chuck </em>and less for the dying <em>Heroes</em>.<br />
<br />
Zachary Levi is great in his role and Yvonne Strahovski is much fun to look at, but what really makes the show is Adam Baldwin. Perhaps John Casey should get his own show? Nah. He's better as a foil for Chuck Bartowski.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/20/chuck-to-return-in-january/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19247870/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/20/chuck-to-return-in-january/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Chuck</category><category>Heroes</category><category>January</category><category>NBC</category><category>premiere</category><category>Sunday</category><dc:creator>Brad Trechak</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:31:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ugly Betty star was almost Peter Petrelli on Heroes</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/19/ugly-betty-star-was-almost-peter-petrelli-on-heroes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/19/ugly-betty-star-was-almost-peter-petrelli-on-heroes/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/19/ugly-betty-star-was-almost-peter-petrelli-on-heroes/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="306" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/ericmabius250.jpg" alt="Mabius" />I love hearing stories about how certain stars auditioned for certain roles and didn't get them. What would the show/movie have been like if they were cast in it instead of the person who eventually got the role? For example, did you know that Danny DeVito was almost cast as Serena on <em>Gossip Girl</em>?<br />
<br />
Here's another tidbit: <a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/fashion/articles/2009/11/19/eric_mabius_says_a_lot_about_his_career_and_a_little_about_fashion/"><em>Ugly Betty</em> star Eric Mabius auditioned for the role of Peter Petrelli</a> on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a>. It's not really clear whether he didn't get the role because Milo Ventimiglia got it or if producers of <em>Ugly Betty</em> grabbed him for the role of Daniel Meade before Heroes producers could sign him up. Whatever happened, he's now playing the head of <em>Mode</em> magazine while Ventimiglia is absorbing people's superpowers.<br />
<br />
The interview above is rather interesting. Mabius has moved back to Massachusetts with his family (he met his wife here while in college and wants to raise his kids here). He says he doesn't have a plan for his future, though he might have to get one. I have a feeling this might be the last season for <em>Ugly Betty</em>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/19/ugly-betty-star-was-almost-peter-petrelli-on-heroes/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19246652/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/19/ugly-betty-star-was-almost-peter-petrelli-on-heroes/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>abc</category><category>audition</category><category>daniel meade</category><category>heroes</category><category>massachusetts</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>mode</category><category>peter petrelli</category><category>ugly betty</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Sneak Peek: a very Heroes Thanksgiving</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/sneak-peek-a-very-heroes-thanksgiving/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/sneak-peek-a-very-heroes-thanksgiving/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/sneak-peek-a-very-heroes-thanksgiving/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p>We're starting to see Thanksgiving episodes of TV shows, and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> is no exception.

<br />
But the question I have (and so will you) about this scene is: where the hell is Lyle?

(S04E10)</em> For some reason, while I was watching this episode I got to thinking: "What if this had been the second season of <em>Heroes</em>." Would it perhaps still be a top-rated show; one that NBC could rest its laurels and future on instead of Jay Leno? As with that first season, I feel that sense of wonder about what's going on, and things are really coming together.<br />
<br />
That said, there is some sloppy thinking on the parts of both Tracy and Hiro this week. But there's also the continuing consolidation of power by Samuel, and finally an explanation of both why he's doing this and what Mohinder's been up to.<br />

I'm going to admit to being wrong now. For weeks I've been saying that I haven't missed Suresh at all; that I would be just as happy if he never showed up. But his return and appearance (and even explanation for his absence) were handled so well, that I liked him all over again.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/review-heroes-brothers-keeper/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - Brother's Keeper</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/review-heroes-brothers-keeper/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19242400/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/review-heroes-brothers-keeper/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>ali larter</category><category>AliLarter</category><category>greg grunberg</category><category>GregGrunberg</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>sendhil ramamurthy</category><category>SendhilRamamurthy</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:41:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Heroes - Shadowboxing</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em><img hspace="4" height="301" border="0" align="top" width="425" vspace="4" alt="Heroes: Shadowboxing" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/heroes_091110.jpg" /><br />
(S04E09)</em> This week on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a>, the action picked up right where it left off two weeks ago, with Claire and Gretchen facing off against the invisible sorority sister, Rebecca. We also checked in with both iterations of Sylar, the mind one trapped in Matt's body, and the body one hanging out at Samuel's carnival. Only neither was staying put for long.<br />
<br />
The remainder of the episode took us back to the hospital where we could hang out with Peter and Emma. Nine episodes into this new season and I'm still not really sure where they're going with the Emma character. As a character, she's just not that interesting, and even less interesting is her ability to see sound as colors. Since they're clearly making no moves toward she and Peter becoming a romantic item, I find myself really wondering why I should care.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - Shadowboxing</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19230038/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/review-heroes-shadowboxing-recap/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>deanne bray</category><category>DeanneBray</category><category>Greg Grant</category><category>GregGrant</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>jimmy jean-louis</category><category>JimmyJean-louis</category><category>madeline zima</category><category>MadelineZima</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>tessa thompson</category><category>TessaThompson</category><category>ZacEfron</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>This Heroes spoiler makes no sense at all</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/this-heroes-spoiler-makes-no-sense-at-all/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/this-heroes-spoiler-makes-no-sense-at-all/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/this-heroes-spoiler-makes-no-sense-at-all/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="189" border="0" align="right" alt="Heroes" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/08/heroes_title_card.jpg" />Recently we told you about the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/a-major-death-is-coming-to-heroes-who-will-it-be/">major death that was happening on <em>Heroes</em></a> this season. The only clues we were told were that it was one of the original characters from the first season and it was a male. Well, it looks like the actor has been named, and if it's true then it doesn't make any sense at all.<br />

(S04E08)</em> As <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/">promised</a>, this week's episode of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> took us back to the heydays of the first season. Back when this was a world of wonder filled with new and exciting characters and mystery. Their futures lie before them, and it all centered on Charlie, the poor waitress that Hiro failed time and again to save back then.<br />
<br />
Now that he's working on his bucket list before he kicks it, the time has come to head back three years and try to undo her death by Sylar's hand. Which means we got to see HRG, Claire, Hiro, Ando, Sylar and even Isaac as they were three years ago.<br />
<br />
The question was whether or not he could change the past and save Charlie, when he failed to before. Furthermore, could he do so without changing all the subsequent events that had happened. He'd already had a taste of success with Ando and his sister, but this sojourn had much higher stakes.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/review-heroes-once-upon-a-time-in-texas/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - Once Upon a Time in Texas</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/review-heroes-once-upon-a-time-in-texas/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19220170/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/review-heroes-once-upon-a-time-in-texas/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>glee</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>james kyson lee</category><category>JamesKysonLee</category><category>jayma mays</category><category>JaymaMays</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>sendhil ramamurthy</category><category>SendhilRamamurthy</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>NBC wants to know how Heroes will end</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="340" border="0" align="right" alt="Heroes" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/heroesredemptionposter.jpg" />Sources are telling Airlock Alpha that <a href="http://airlockalpha.com/node/6824">NBC is asking <em>Heroes</em> producers and writers to come up with a finale</a> for the show.<br />
<br />
I think we all saw this coming. Ratings for the show have continued to slip since that magical first season, and I think the network (and many fans) have gotten sick of the "this season will be different!" promises. <br />
<br />
Actually, I think the show has been good this season. Oh, the first couple of episodes meandered and were rather frustrating (Hiro time traveling again? Sylar wandering around again? Matt seeing visions?), but since they've shown how Samuel is involved in the Claire plotline and in the HRG plotline and Zachary Quinto is back full time, it has come together more.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>NBC wants to know how Heroes will end</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19215442/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/29/nbc-wants-to-know-how-heroes-will-end/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>heroes</category><category>heroes finale</category><category>hrg</category><category>monday nights</category><category>nbc</category><category>sylar</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:35:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Masi Oka gushes about Charlie's return to Heroes</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="215" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/heroes_mays_oka.jpg" alt="hereos mays oka" />It's no secret that <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> has been slipping in quality and in the ratings since the end of its first season. Things have improved a bit this year thanks to Robert Knepper's fantastic turn as manscara-wearing carnival boss Samuel Sullivan. Watching Sylar torment Matt Parkman with some Tyler Durden-esque head games has been a hoot too. <br />
<br />
But, as we TV critics like to bring up every now and then, the current season isn't nearly as good as that great first season. Maybe that's why <em>Heroes</em> is taking us back to season one, sort of, with the Nov. 2 episode, "Once Upon a time in Texas." <br />
<br />
The ep follows Hiro as he travels back in time to try to change the events of season one's episode 8, in which he fell in love with Texas waitress Charlie, played by <em>Glee</em>'s Jayma Mays. Fans of the show know that Hiro was unable to save Charlie from Sylar's clutches even though he tried more than once. Will he be able to change history this time?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Masi Oka gushes about Charlie's return to Heroes</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19211994/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/masi-oka-gushes-about-charlies-return-to-heroes/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>heroes</category><category>jayma mays</category><category>JaymaMays</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><dc:creator>Mike Moody</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:25:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Heroes - Strange Attractors</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em><img hspace="4" height="298" border="0" align="top" width="425" vspace="4" alt="Heroes: Strange Attractors" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/heroes_091027.jpg" /><br />
(S04E07)</em> We'll have to wait until next week to see Hiro try to save Charlie. This week, we stayed with Noah and Jeremy, checked back in on Claire and Gretchen, and saw how Matt was faring with his unwanted head-guest. And things didn't really go well for any of them.<br />
<br />
The series is really finding a nice stride, for those of us left to enjoy it. I'm racking my brain trying to think of ways to inject a sense of excitement into the show to lure some of its wayward former viewers back. Who could they cast for an arc on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> that people would have to tune in to see. Summer Glau? Jennifer Aniston? Bill Cosby (he has the power of slow dancing)?<br />
<br />
They're keeping things pretty simple now, not stretching us beyond three storylines per episode, and the sense of excitement and wonder really is back in a way I've not seen since the first season. I'll not go so far as to say this is the <em>Heroes</em> of old, but it's a helluva lot better than the <em>Heroes</em> of lately.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Heroes - Strange Attractors</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19210737/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/review-heroes-strange-attractors/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ali larter</category><category>AliLarter</category><category>elizabeth lackey</category><category>ElizabethLackey</category><category>greg grunberg</category><category>GregGrunberg</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>madeline zima</category><category>MadelineZima</category><category>rick worthy</category><category>RickWorthy</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Heroes: Tabula Rasa</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="268" border="0" align="top" alt="Heroes: Tabula Rasa" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/heroes_091019.jpg" /><br />
(S04E06) </em>If there was a theme this week, it's about nurturing and guiding people with abilities. We followed up with Sylar, now in the nefarious embrace of the Sullivan Brothers Carnival, as well as Peter and Hiro, and by extension Emma. The quest to save Hiro's life from the brain tumor that's killing him even affords Noah the opportunity to atone for his cold past by providing support to a former kid he and the Haitian had "visited" back in his Company days.<br />
<br />
We got some very nice character moments this week. I like Hiro in the role of mentor to Emma, as it gives him a focus for his crazy optimism. Plus, we got to see how stopping time makes a magic show even more awesome -- I know that's the kind of crap I'd be doing with that ability. Screw saving the world, watch me make this woman vanish.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Heroes: Tabula Rasa</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19201890/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/heroes-tabula-rasa/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>deanne bray</category><category>DeanneBray</category><category>ellen greene</category><category>EllenGreene</category><category>ernie hudson</category><category>ErnieHudson</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>nbc</category><category>ray park</category><category>RayPark</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:55:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>A major death is coming to Heroes - who will it be?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/a-major-death-is-coming-to-heroes-who-will-it-be/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/a-major-death-is-coming-to-heroes-who-will-it-be/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/a-major-death-is-coming-to-heroes-who-will-it-be/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-polls/" rel="tag">TV Squad Polls</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="189" border="0" align="right" alt="Heroes" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/08/heroes_title_card.jpg" />Kristin over at E! is reporting that <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b148693_holy_shocker_major_death_coming_heroes.html">a "major death" is coming to <em>Heroes</em></a>, probably to boost ratings (good luck with that). All he'll say is that the character is male and it's a member of the original cast. <br />
<br />
That's actually a lot of info. Who do you think it will be? (I'm assuming it's not Nathan, for obvious reasons.)<br />

(S04E05)</em> I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but sometimes I wonder if we don't have more people reading TV Squad than <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> has viewers. And so I want to keep reminding fallen fans who may have jumped ship over the past two not-so-great seasons that things are going much better this season.<br />
<br />
There's a better balance in each episode than there's been. In the past few weeks, we've been sticking to mostly three storylines per week. This time around, we checked in on Peter, Claire and Sylar (after his unearthing last week). They're allowing the characters room to breathe and be themselves, rather than just rushing into the next adventure.<br />
<br />
It was character growth and development that I'd missed the most, and we're finally getting it. Zachary Quinto was fantastic this episode, and even Hayden Panettiere showed an inkling of range. Oh, who am I kidding, she was as wooden as ever, but that's why we like her ... right? That kind of looks like a cardboard cut-out up there, doesn't it?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/heroes-hysterical-blindness/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Heroes: Hysterical Blindness</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/heroes-hysterical-blindness/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19193608/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/heroes-hysterical-blindness/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>christine adams</category><category>ChristineAdams</category><category>cristine rose</category><category>CristineRose</category><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>deanne bray</category><category>DeanneBray</category><category>ernie hudson</category><category>ErnieHudson</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>louise fletcher</category><category>LouiseFletcher</category><category>madeline zima</category><category>MadelineZima</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>ray park</category><category>RayPark</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>tessa thompson</category><category>TessaThompson</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Behind the scenes of tonight's big Heroes "moment" (SPOILERS)</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/12/behind-the-scenes-of-tonights-big-heroes-moment-spoilers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/12/behind-the-scenes-of-tonights-big-heroes-moment-spoilers/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/12/behind-the-scenes-of-tonights-big-heroes-moment-spoilers/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/" rel="tag">Heroes</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p>I don't know if this really counts as a spoiler since NBC is showing the scene in promos, but something happens to Claire tonight that you might not expect. Here's an extended, behind the scenes look at the filming of the scene. Good plot or just attention-seeking cheese? (Not sure if this is how the scene will air tonight or a web-only remix.)<br />
<br />
I still don't trust Claire's new friend. It's almost as if she killed Claire's roommate so she could get to this moment. Or maybe I just want there to be more to this story than "Claire's roommate killed herself suddenly."

(S04E04)</em> What are you doing with your life? Are you happy with what you do every day, 40 or more hours a week? If not, then you're not truly living <em>your </em>life, you're living someone else's. Only when you realize that this life is a gift and it's so much shorter than any of us can possibly realize, can you truly start to live for yourself. Take a risk. Do what you want. Do what makes you happy.<br />
<br />
That's pretty heady stuff, but it was apparently on the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a> writers' minds tonight, because that's exactly what this episode was about. And it turned out pretty well. There were moments of true growth for several of our characters, some good and some probably not so good.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/heroes-acceptance/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Heroes: Acceptance</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/heroes-acceptance/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19185479/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/heroes-acceptance/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>adrian pasdar</category><category>AdrianPasdar</category><category>ali larter</category><category>AliLarter</category><category>ashley crow</category><category>AshleyCrow</category><category>bruce boxleitner</category><category>BruceBoxleitner</category><category>cristine rose</category><category>CristineRose</category><category>dawn olivieri</category><category>DawnOlivieri</category><category>elizabeth lackey</category><category>ElizabethLackey</category><category>greg grunberg</category><category>GregGrunberg</category><category>hayden panettiere</category><category>HaydenPanettiere</category><category>jack coleman</category><category>JackColeman</category><category>james kyson lee</category><category>JamesKysonLee</category><category>jimmy jean-louis</category><category>JimmyJean-louis</category><category>masi oka</category><category>MasiOka</category><category>milo ventimiglia</category><category>MiloVentimiglia</category><category>ray park</category><category>RayPark</category><category>robert knepper</category><category>RobertKnepper</category><category>saemi nakamura</category><category>SaemiNakamura</category><category>sendhil ramamurthy</category><category>SendhilRamamurthy</category><category>swoosie kurtz</category><category>SwoosieKurtz</category><category>zachary quinto</category><category>ZacharyQuinto</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:19:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
