Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 8 (3.08) Villains
So how did the bad guys become the bad guys, and the (sorta) good guys get their (sorta) good guy start? That’s the premise of episode 8, titled, “Villains”. The episode, according to the description, will be seen through the eyes of Hiro Nakamura, last seen eating disgusting paste and the dung of some animal before going white-eyed on us. Lost in the past, but (probably) without the ability to change things, Hiro follows the Petrelli boys, in particular Arthur and Nathan, evil mastermind Linderman, and a bespectacled Sylar before he was Sylar. Elle is also there, as well as HRG, Meredith, and Company Man Eric Roberts makes a return appearance. Here’s your preview for Heroes 3.08 “Villains”, which will air in two weeks, November 10, 2008.
(FYI: For non U.S. readers, NBC has decided to pre-empt next week’s episode in favor of extensive U.S. Presidential election coverage, as well as an elections-themed Saturday Night Live special episode.)
Official Description:
TO PREPARE FOR THE CONFRONTATION AHEAD, HIRO (MASI OKA) EXPLORES WHAT FORCES — AND FAMILIAR FACES — HELPED TWIST SYLAR (ZACHARY QUINTO), FLINT (BLAKE SHIELDS) AND ARTHUR PETRELLI (ROBERT FORSTER) INTO VILLAINS
To prepare for the confrontation ahead, Hiro (Masi Oka) follows respected businessman, husband and father Arthur Petrelli (guest star Robert Forster) in the days before he “died” — to discover what drove him to create rival company Pinehearst and strike at Angela (Cristine Rose). Later, a moment unfolds where Sylar (Zachary Quinto), horrified and guilt-ridden, might have stopped his murderous pursuit of abilities — that is, if H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and Elle (guest star Kristen Bell) had swayed from their monstrous assignment. Finally, under the wing of Company man Thompson (guest star Eric Roberts), agent-in-training Meredith (guest star Jessalyn Gelsig) watches her new life go up in smoke, following the arrival of her hot-headed brother.
Jimmy Jean-Louis, Malcolm McDowell, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Ron Perkins, Blake Shields, and Jeff Staron guest star.
