Ando, Heroes Volume 5 Title, and Kill the Cheerleader, Save the Show?

March 19th, 2009

According to James Kyson Lee (Ando), his character will learn a new “trick” with his powers and become a full-fledged superhero in upcoming episodes. And oh yeah, Heroes Season 4’s Volume 5 will be called “Redemption”. Meanwhile, what’s the deal with Claire Bear, and is the Cheerleader wearing out her welcome with fans? Possibly, if unpleasant rumors about her misbehavior on the Heroes set are true. And then there’s this rumor from Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly, which has Hayden Panettiere taking meetings with studio execs.

From EW’s Michael Ausiello:

Question: I need some Heroes scoop, my dear! –Heather

Ausiello: The working title for next fall’s fifth volume is “Redemption.” That’s according to James Kyson Lee (Ando), who told us that production on season 3 wrapped last Friday and the cast is now in the midst of a three-month hiatus. He also called this Monday’s Bryan Fuller-penned episode a “monster” hour of TV. “Ando learns a new trick with his mojo,” Lee revealed. “He will not just be a supercharger anymore. He will be something more from that point on. He is becoming a legitimate superhero this season. which is really fun for me to go from powerless sidekick to hero.”

Question: Kill the Cheerleader, Save the Show. Please tell me Claire is one of the two for real deaths on Heroes. Her character is annoying. –Bishop

Ausiello: She is not. Claire will be back next season, although for a few hours late Tuesday things were looking iffy. There was a rumor going around that Ms. Hayden was taking meetings with top TV execs at the major studios. The rumor ended up being true, but it wasn’t acting work she was looking for, it was producing work: She’s pitching a new show and she’s searching for a buyer.

So no, Claire’s not going anywhere, even if some people wouldn’t mind seeing less of the highly emotional and confused cheerleader, and more of everyone else.

I'd hate to see Claire go. She can be annoying at times, but I still think that she is a vital part of the show. She ties so many characters together that I think if she left, in some ways, the show might fall apart.

Anyway, Can't wait for Monday! haha (never thought i'd say that until heroes came around.)

darren 1 number fan

hi people wot if milo wanted out if the show thats why his charecter lost all his power so he can do something new. i hope this is not true does anyone no

darren 1 number fan

hello people season 3 episode 21 in to the asylum u are all sayin that ando will help peter with his power wot if its his mother she tell him how to fix it like sylar did with elle they heal their relationship and thats wot helps him to absorb again be empathic towards people like he was

Eric

just to be clear; you have no problem with "empathic"... but somehow you have an issue with the word "what"?
lmao, sorry, had to

Pylar

Darren...I think you are correct. I think when Angela and Peter heal the wounds between them, Peter will become empathetic again and be able to absorb abilities like before. I think he is just so angry at everyone right now that he is unable to access his empathy. However, I think Angela will be able to help him reestablish the care and selflessness he had first season.

Peter p

i disagree, i was to the understanding that peter was always only able to take on 1 ability at a time, but that sylar had empathic mimicry and peter absorbed that from him giving him the ability to posses more than one.

heroesmaster

because you didn't watch the first few seasons..............

burgues92

if u hadve watched season 1 u would know that peters original power was to mimic and retain peoples powers by recalling a memory they shared. peter hadnt even met sylar when he was using multiple powers. so no he didnt get the ability to empathise and steal powers by touching sylar

I heard a rumor that Hayden wants Milo off Heroes for good. That's what the "bad behavior" was. Seems she refuses to be on the set when Milo is there.

If it came down between them(and no I'm not gay or a girl) I'd have to say I hope Hayden goes. Peter/Milo is the hero of the show in my opinion, he does cool stuff, flying, reading minds, shooting people...

What does Hayden offer besides excellent eye-candy? Her character Claire is always crying, whining(I just wanna be normal wah), or wasting our Heroes time with sentimental garbage. I am a big fan of Hayden though, she is one of the hottest girls I've ever seen.

It was a mistake for them to date, and It could spell trouble if this rumor is true, I pray it is not.

She very well could have been meeting with the execs to see about getting Milo removed.

The rumor that Hayden was trying to get Milo fired was debunked weeks ago.

I second that. kill her off...it's so so easy...chop of her head in a freak accident. That should do the trick.

Sylar could even do it with he flick of a finger! I doubt many would shed a tear for her. Just as no one shed a tear when Kim bauer was removed from 24, or as I expect, no one will shed a tear when Sarah Tancredi finally leaves prison break and it turns back into a real action series again....yeah!

Cindylover1969

Percy (and others), it's not going to happen. Deal with it.

And it's certainly not going to happen via Sylar - not only did he manage to get Claire's power without killing her but the man said he couldn't kill her even if he wanted to. (And you *do* know that "Prison Break" is about to end, right? Do keep up.)

Percy weKuZimbabwe

...and why, pray tell, do you think Prison Break is coming to a premature end, pray tell! They slowed down a nicely paced thrilling action series into a sappy, whiny piece of crap! The same is going to happen to Heroes, much as I love it, if they don't make this Clare Bear grow up quick...the show is doomed.:)

Cindylover1969

In other words, "How dare Claire behave like a teenage girl just because she IS one!" Some people... Percy, you're more of a whiner than Claire has ever been.

And the difference between Claire and the others you brought up - like, say, Kim Bauer - is that Claire is, and always has been, one of the key characters, whereas on "24" Kim was always someone to whom things happened.

Percy weKuZimbabwe

You know Cindylover1969, you're right...Claire should behave like an American teen and whine and rant as often as possible.Better yet, they could send Ando and Hiro back in time to bring back her evil cheerleader friend, killed off in season 1, so we can really see them having their differences blow up into more teen drama. Better yet let's have more scenes with her brother and mr snuggles..after all Heroes is about how life is tough for growing teens right! Anyone for more dinner scenes with the H.R.G dude's family maybe more flashbacks with him reading bed time stories to Claire? Didn't think so! Claire was perfect in season 1...there was purpose behind her presence. the entire season wouldn't have worked without her..but now, she's just excess baggage for the show. Really, I'm not hating...take an honest look at her scenes (in s3 not season 1/2)..they all look forced, or even, jammed, into episodes just to give her screen time.

But Claire cannot die!!!! I like her. At first I thought she was annoying, but Syler was annoying. I'm glad he is dead. There is so many directions this show could take, and I hope it doesn't go anywhere. What happened to the African American girl from New Orleans???? She was a cool character. I think Hereos producers just need to pull together and make another great plot, but bring other characters that have disappeared back into the action

galengirl

whatever happened to Molly the little girl from under the stairs that Matt rescued?

Cindylover1969

"Really, I'm not hating..."

I don't believe you.

Percy weKuZimbabwe

“Really, I’m not hating…”

" I don’t believe you. "
...you should. :) I like my sci-fi just like that...sci-fi. Switching from Sci-fi to Beverly Hills 90210 to sci-fi back and forth can be tiring for a fan like me. gimme hard core sci-fi any day. :)

I got the same 'oh please just kill him and get it over with' feeling when sylar was on his road trip with that annoying kid. It's nothing personal against Hayden the actress...I just don't like to slow my heart thumping sci-fis into "Smallville"-like yawns.
