Stephanie over at IESB.net emailed to let us know that they’re hosting four new clips from Chapter 20, “Five Years Gone” (or “String Theory”, as I’m still hearing it being called, although from the previews, the title seems to be settled on “Five Years Gone”), which will be airing April 30th, and take our story five years into the future, where Nathan is President, and Heroes are forced underground and hunted as terrorists. Nathan as a villain? Say it ain’t so! The four clips are:
The first clip features Hiro talking with Future Hiro, where you really notice how fantastic Masi Oka is as Future Hiro; you’d never think he was the same geek as present Hiro.

The second clip features HRG, now apparently a good guy “hiding” Heroes, when Future Hiro and Ando comes to him asking for assistance. HRG learns that it was Hiro who saved his daughter’s life (”Save the Cheerleader, Save the World”, remember?)

The third clip features Hiro (apparently injured after a battle (with Nathan, perhaps?)) talking with Ando, after which we learn — gasp! — Ando is dead in the future!

The fourth clip is a Behind-the-Scenes clip of Hiro meeting Future Hiro at Isaac’s destroyed loft.
Head over to IESB to check out all the clips now!

I don’t know this for a fact and there may be someone out there who’s read something that could confirm or disprove this, but…
I have a strong suspicion that Ando is actually a spy for Hiro’s dad (I mean really, Hiro sends him away and he winds up as a janitor in the same room as the sword Hiro and Ando have been trying to steal? Please.). So in last week’s episode (Chapter 19), when future Hiro disdainfully says “You” after discovering present day Hiro and Ando in the loft it’s pretty clear he’s upset at seeing Ando (and not Hiro as we are supposed to think with the present day Hiro/future Hiro mirror image, right?
Sam on 25 April 2007:
Good theory, Ghostwheel, but Future Hiro didn’t seem very angry with Ando. When he said “You”, he was referring to himself being in the future, I believe. As in, “Hey, I thought I had fixed the past — what are you still doing here?” That kind of thing.

i love the clips, thank you for sharing.
Justin on 26 April 2007:
Good theory Ghostwheel!
I hope they show ALL of the characters in the future. I’ve seen a lot of them in the previews, but there are a few that weren’t. I would like to see how everyone turned out.
And what about the people who are supposed to die in the remaining chapters? Are they going to give it away by not showing them or are they going to show what would happen if they lived?
Rey on 26 April 2007:
hiro might have said the you in response to seeing Ando alive if it was directed at him at all. In the third spoiler clip it revealed the Ando had died and Hiro said his battles were not any fun without him.
