Heroes Preview: Season 2 Episode 8 (2.08) Four Months Ago

November 6th, 2007

Peter has discovered what is destined to happen if he doesn’t stop the Shanti Virus from being unleashed, but how did it get to be that way? Meanwhile, Takezo Kensei’s appearance in the present, under the name of Adam Monroe, brings up more questions than answers. And what exactly happened to D.L. at the end of the Season 1 finale? All the answers are promised in next week’s episode, Season 2, Episode 8, titled “Four Months Ago”. As the title suggest, we will be journeying backwards in time, to the end of “How to Stop an Exploding Man”, and see how our heroes got to where they were found at the beginning of Season 2.

The plot description:

When the clock turns back four months for all of the Heroes, Nathan pays a terrible cost for his heroic actions. While Peter survives his detonation over New York City, the Company “bags” him as a threat to the world, eventually leading to violent confrontation with Elle (Kristen Bell) and the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis). D.L. (Leonard Roberts) makes the ultimate sacrifice for Niki (Ali Larter) and Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey). Maya (Dania Ramirez) horrifically manifests her dark powers for the first time, driving her and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) to America for help. A mysterious, yet familiar face is introduced.

David Anders, Jack Coleman, Dana Davis, Greg Grunberg, James Kyson Lee, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy also star. Carlon Jeffery, Nichelle Nichols and Stephen Tobolowsky guest star.

Alex

I think you meant "...and see how our heroes got to where they were found at the beginning of Season 2".

I'm so tempted!

Doctor Who

That looks FREAKING awesome!

Neil

I am dying here I can't wait its going to kill me if I don't see this episode!!!

Nik

Yes! An episode that looks like it has some teeth to it! I was getting tired of all the set-up. My nagging question is "Why didn't Peter just fly away himself before blowing up?".

Kris

Nik, I think he was in a state of extreme distress, trying to control the explosion and not kill all thos epeople, so he couldnt concentrate enough to fly himself away... remember by this he had just barely gotten control of his powers, it would have been easy enough for him to lack the concentration to manifest one power while struggling to control another.
Glad to see Hiro back and get confirmatrion Kensei shows up in the future... but we know him as Adam, is he also Kane?
Maya will become the thing that spreads the Snati virus... she will somehow release an potent version of it and it will become a plague... a new Typhoid Mary. I also seem to think she will embrace that power somehow...

Justin

This episode looks so awesome...can't wait.
I think its really cool that they introduced Elle this season, about time they had a female hero with insanely cool offensive powers. I have to say I used to be a big fan of Claire, but she doesn't seem to do much anymore.

Yvonne

Finally we will get some answers!!! and i hope they make sense.. i was beginning to say “heroes is turning into lost!!”

B A T M A N

I LOVE HEROES!! ^___^

Nik

Kris,
I get that as an explanation but it's a guess. It's not like the bomb thing caught Peter by surprise. He knew that it was coming and wasn't ready. Now I'm looking forward to finding out what the whole "scarface" thing is with Nathan. It reminds me of "The Dark Knight Returns" when Twoface has his scarred half repaired but still sees himself as deformed. Also, it's too bad that Peter and Linderman never hung out. It would be a great power to have absorbed.

latrel

hey nik your questions about why peter just didnt fly i can give you. its been written before by tim kring that with peters power he cant fully control everything the only power he can control at ease is invisiblity since claude taught him how to properly use it. now since that nuke started happening he tried concentrating on how to stop it and control it therefore he couldnt use any other of his powers not future peter who can use any power at ease would have remember peter is still learning... so thats your answer...

eron

adam was the very first manifestation.. hence the name

tomaito

eron- good one. i think it all started with Adam, seeing as how kensei is really hiro, and not adam. but do you think yakeo ends up with adam then, and from their kids become the future heroes? can't wait for next week

Nik

Okay, but that he wasn't ready for it still makes me shake my head. You'd think that flight would be something that he'd practice. He practiced BEFORE he could fly but not afterwards?

Sometimes I wonder if he's only able to manifest one power at a time. I think there was a character in the Marvel Universe who could mimic powers but was limited to one at a time. THat would make some sense.

Another question... Claude Raines was the actor who played the invisible man in the 1933 movie. When the invisible man in the show said that he was Claude Raines I took it as a joke. Are we just going with that as his name because it is the only one we have for him or is that actually his name? A little nod to the past.

GEORGE K

WHO IS ADAM MONROE

GEORGE K

WHO RUN THE COMPANY

latrel

hey nik
peter can do 2 abilities at a time remember when he was invisible at isaacs loft and isaac was pointing the gun at him well he was moving things at him at the same time so that clarifies your question there.. also ted himself couldnt really control his own power as well this nuke thing is a BIG deal, and why does sylar know how to control it right away, well remember his own ability is to 'FIX and figure' things out, he can sense things that need fixing or broken and with new abilities is own ability finds a way to perfect it...

Kold

Man heroes is getting exciting now.....and the boring Claire-West story is also heating up.
Adam Monroe(Kensei)-Peter story will be interesting...I have to watch this.

Heroes Gal

WEll all I know is that DL dies becuase Nikki has another alter ego "a naughty school girl" I mean Nikki powers are cool , but come on ..another alter ego .. And I think kensi or "adam" are related to nathan and peter some how. becuase claire has the same power and the only other replica we have seen is Matt and his dad ..and claires real dad is Nathan ...So many many questions..(and remember we cant see nathan and peters dad in the picture , its turned away ...) just think

DoNi

Just a little guess, but seeing that when hiro holds someone he can move with them in time, and when D.L. held someone he can walk with them trough wals, so maybe it could be that when claire holds someone she can heal them because as we have seen they (the heroes) always seem to develop their powers, and maybe adam healed nathens face. lol just a few little thoughts ;)

DoNi

Also im guessing Adam is the one that brought everyone together because and he is the one that killed hiros father because as we know he did not die and the last time he saw hiro he said that "as long as he will live everythings he loves he will let it go to waste, he will make him suffer" so seen as he never dies im guessin he is the one that broke out that the company where keeping locked to get revenge on hiro.
