One of the
Heroes is going to die this season. And not just one of the disposable ones that aren't important to the plot, but one of the main characters.
That's the news being reported by
TV Guide and others. So which one will it be? There are even rumors going around that both Ali Larter and Hayden Panettiere want to leave the show, so they are both possibilities. Here's a quick analysis on each main character. Let's see if we can narrow down who could be the hero to kick the bucket (and I'm assuming it's really kick the bucket, not
Heroes kick the bucket where they could still come back to life).

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the already large cast of
Heroes is balooning ballooning toward ginormous -- which is now
officially a word, FYI. NBC confirmed that Jessica Collins, formerly of ABC's
The Nine, will be playing Sophie, a new super-powered female.
The article describes her as a mysterious woman who works at the organization tracking all the heroes, which I assume is Primatech Paper Company -- unless there is a new organization to be introduced.
In addition to Collins, Dania Ramirez, Dana Davis, David Anders, and
Lyndsy Fonseca are all expected to join the cast in the second season.

(S06E16) The wedding bells that have been ringing in the promos for this episode also sound like funeral bells ringing, is that a coincidence? We may never know. Anyhow, it's finally here, the Lex & Lana wedding that we've all been dreading/waiting for.
Did that scene of Lex and Lana watching the ultrasound creep anyone else out? It's scary to know what might come ripping out of that womb. I keep picturing that scene from Alien over and over in my head. I also hope that the photo Clark whipped out the window didn't end up decapitating someone in Malaysia. He really put some heat behind it.

The creative team behind Sci Fi's new female superhero,
Painkiller Jane, took the stage at TCA, but spent most of the time fielding questions about what they thought about NBC's
Heroes. Executive Producer Gil Grant and series star Kristanna Loken both claim to have not seen
Heroes, and seemed to bristle a bit at the questioning. Honestly, the shows are fairly different, both in plot and scope, but they haven't even taken a peek at what could feasibly be called the competition?
Q&A: "Can Jane feel pain?" -- overheard from a critic behind me: "Yes, when she reads the reviews." Ouch.
