Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 16 (3.16) Building 26

Posted on February 10, 2009 by Sam

The game is afoot! While Nathan Petrelli continues on his precarious plan to round up heroes, those who have escaped his clutches are gearing up for a battle. How far will Nathan go to recapture his brother Peter, Matt Parkman, and Mohinder? And what is the fate of Daphne Millbrook, the speedster? The last time we saw her, she had been shot, and seemed on the verge of death. Meanwhile, Hiro and Ando are once again back together and in search of Hiro’s lost powers in India. And what about Sylar and young Luke? Looks like a road trip! Here is your official preview of next week’s episode, “Building 26″.

Official Description:

THE BEST LAID PLANS OF NATHAN PETRELLI OFTEN GO AWRY

Nathan’s (Adrian Pasdar) plans face exposure as Homeland Security begins an investigation under direct orders from the President of the United States. Sylar (Zachary Quinto) and Luke (guest Dan Byrd) embark on a road trip to find Sylar’s father, but are secretly being hunted by Nathan’s agents. Life gets complicated for the Bennet family as Claire (Hayden Panettiere) goes into action to protect a young man with abilities (guest star Justin Baldoni) from being captured by HRG (Jack Coleman). Elsewhere, Matt’s (Greg Grunberg) prophetic images lead Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) to India and a mysterious ally comes to the aid of our Heroes.

Ashley Crow, Randall Bentley and Amrapali Ambegaokar also guest star.

    who ever writes this programme needs to sit down and take a good look at what your writeing because you have wrecked it all you ever do is take petes powers or memory youve now took hiros powers and youve made me not want to watch it any more youve wrecked it

    • Short Guy

      Totally agree, the writers have messed this show up so much. It’s all dumb action with no character development. So upsetting, the first season was amazing.

      • Jeff

        THEN DONT WATCH IT AND LEAVE THIS FORUM FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE THE SERIES!!!!

        I cant wait till Monday’s episode!

      • José

        I’m from Portugal and i do like heroes…
        the series is amazing…
        And I’m totally agree..
        the people who don’t like the series should not write in the forum…
        heroes…. 4Ever ;P

    • Mileena

      this is a heroes fans site, if u dont like the show, then don’t watch it, and don’t bother posting comments or even complainin, y don’t ya complain in lost, and if ya dont like what the writer is doing, I don’t think anyone here thinks that you’ll do better so plsss shut it will ya

      • Short Guy

        LOL, calm down, we’re heroes fans, that’s how we found this site, but everyone has a right to voice their opinions. Some people are still enjoying the show as much as they always have and then some feel it’s getting worse and that it’s down to the writers dishing out poor storylines and dialogue.

        When someone has an opinion that you don’t agree with it makes sense to say why if your going to go to the effort of posting a response. Telling people to “shut it” simply makes you sound like a spoilt child.

        I hope that the writers bring back Heroes to it’s former glory so that it’s as gripping as it use to be. At the moment it’s just not having the same affect on me. And I know many of my friends feel the same.

      • Carson

        I must agree with Mileena. Too many people post things on here that are so negative “I HATE HEROES” …ect .. maybe not to the drastic of effect. But, it does get quiet old after awhile. We all understand that Heroes isn’t at the quality of what it used to be. But always talking about how much the writers ruined the show gets really old. I for one really enjoy the show and enjoy reading everyone’s theories of how the show will evolve. But i hate reading how everyone else has ‘ruined’ this show for you. I’m sorry you feel that way. But you should be lathering it on here.

        Whats there to say about LOST??? I love Heroes and Lost but I have to say LOST is ten times better

      • InfiniteJest

        I love heroes, i’ve watched every episode since it started and will continue to do so until it ends but…if you say its got good writers you are kidding yourselves. Don’t be such ignorant fanboys, no one said they hated heroes just that the writers are not doing the bestthey can with the source material. Best example is Claire, her dialogue is really terrible, so over melodramatic, i don’t know a single teenager who talks like that. Whether its the writers or Hayden, her character is really hammed up.

    sorry to say it but some of you guys are complete idiots. i think some of you think you are the actual writers of the show because everytime some character either has too much power or not enough you deem the whole show to be ruined. first it was peter was to strong now his power isn’t enough for you…after seeing all the complaints during villians and now to see Paul’s comments i think a lot you need to understand that this is a show that takes place over a couple month so there is a need to build on the story line and the development or lack there of is part of that build up.

    Paul

    the funny thing is that i bet you will continue to watch the show. so much for it being wrecked.

    • Tyrone

      Lol, too true. As long as there is TV, there will always be complaining.

    OK “POPS” yes there is a coulpe months break. and the character build is important but peter’s power went from cool to lame . because now who dose sylar really have to compete with. NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thats right…………….but thats ok the writers will eventually change there mind AGAIN. and give peter back his original power. this show is goiong down AND ive been saying this since season 2 im placing a thousand dollar bet who wants in onit . heroes is done by the end of this volume cancelled finisehed fanito gone . no longer in existent

    • pops

      KingGenesiS

      not to really harp on this but it doesn’t seem that peter will be sylar enemy this season or at least not for the first half of it. i would think that their biggest enemy would be the hunter and his team. the whole idea of this volume was for heroes to work together and that is what we have been seeing so far. also to be exact peter’s powers went from nonexistent to what they are now. It is an improvement. i agree i would much rather have him being able to use his ability as he use to, but i have to believe that the constant criticism people like yourself voiced that he was too strong may have had a slight effect on his ability. yet i would believe that the storyline is the real reason his power is different. the writers of this multi-million dollar show didn’t simply change their minds on peter’s ability on a whim…there is a lot of though put into it. what i find funny is that you deem his power lame yet you don’t put any thought into why his power may have been altered somehow in reference to the story line. regardless, your entitled to your opinion and i would gladly take you up on that bet, but we both know you aren’t paying up when you lose….and you will lose. the show was the highest rated sci-fi show last quarter. who is going to take their place?

    • Mark

      Peter never lost his power you idiot. Pay attention! He took suresh’s power WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT WAS SURESH! Don’t you know what that means? His power is getting BETTER!!!! Have you forgotten about how he had to know and feel the person before he could take their powers last time? When the writers give peter’s power another big boost you’re going to say “they changed their mind AGAIN” because you’re too stubborn to believe in character developement. I’m sorry you are used to simple shows. Maybe you should try understanding Heroes before you bash it.

    I do not beleive that Peters power has changed. I think he always had his one power only at a time thing, but when he came in contact with SYLAR he was now able to accumulate all the powers around him because he was using sylars accumulation instead of his own, which made him extremly powerful. I think that once he comes in contact with sylar again he will have his ‘old power’ back! The formula wasnt meant to change abilitys, only give them (or in peters case, give them back.)

    • david k

      he first came into contact with nathan obviously, he flew.

      then he painted, then he was in stopped time with hiro. then he painted again, then he met sylar. so thats wrong

      • Christopher

        he’s first ability was seeing the future in dreams remember? his first ability was from his mother

      • david k

        yeah i and many people always forget that one, as it was never really made 100% clear, yeah its a definate but its always overlooked

        as its only explained (though not actually explained) in series 3

    • EMoney013

      peter did lose his power. he even said so himself. he said that he wasnt sure what was had changed and that he could only possess one power at a time and when he acquired a new power he lost the old one. in the past he accumulated and stored multiple powers because that was his power. just by being near someone in the past allowed him to acquire their ability. now he has to physically touch the person to gain their ability.

  • mattt

    and if i am wrong, i still think peter will be a formative apponint for sylar because once he is around sylar, he will have his power, must likely all of them, so i think its stupid to say sylar doesnt have anybody to compete with. At this rate matt may be in the running too.
