More Season 3 Details (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
Apparently journalists Across the Pond have been treated to a preview of Heroes Season 3 by the BBC, and although they were warned not to reveal what they’ve seen (if that was the case, why would they show it? especially to journalists? sounds mildly idiotic to me, but I digress), Digital Spy, one of the groups invited to the showing, gave plenty of hints as to what we can expect. Some we already know, or suspected based on all the promo videos that have been released by NBC so far, but some qualifies as POTENTIAL SPOILERS. As such, only read on if you want to know.
You’ve been warned. So now let’s get to it, shall we?
Some of the things to expect from Heroes Season 3 include the following (for the rest, head over to Digital Spy):
- Nathan Petrelli is apparently dead. We see him rushed to hospital, where resuscitation attempts fail. “There was nothing we could do,” a doctor tells the family. I don’t believe it.
- Looks like Elle (Kristen Bell) is going to be spending a bit of time sparring with Sylar this season.
- Angela Petrelli introduces us to “Level 5″, a housing place for the most dangerous criminals in the world – rapists, arsonists, killers. Presumably this is where the band of Villains escape from.
- Matt Parkman is alone in the middle of a desert screaming for help.
- New Villain ‘The Speedster’ steals something from Hiro and quips, “Gotta run.”
- Is Sylar in league with Angela Petrelli? In one short clip he is seen approaching her from behind and placing his hands on her shoulders.
- Linderman is back with a prophecy of doom. “The second coming is at hand,” he warns.
- And, perhaps the most shocking tease of all: a big bald man, incarcerated in Level 5, shouts: “I’m not who you think I am. I’m Peter Petrelli…”
WOW on the last one. The rest, we kinda already saw from various promos and videos, but the last one? Didn’t see that coming…
Note: For UK viewers, Heroes Season 3 commences at the tail end of September on BBC Two and BBC Three, 8 days after the season’s premiere in the U.S., which would make (if my math is correct) the UK Season 3 premiere September 30.
Update
Also from DS is news that the BBC has aquired “lifetime rights” to the show. Which means if you get the BBC, you’ll be able to watch every single Heroes episode.
