Official Description for Heroes S03E06 “Dying of the Light”
By Sam | October 2, 2008 (9:45 pm)
NBC has released the official description for the sixth episode of Heroes Season 3, titled, “Dying of the Light”. There seems to be a lot going on here, with Claire still trying to become a hero, while Hiro seems to have dropped Ando by the wayside in light of what he saw in the future, and may just be taking his own steps toward the dark side. Meanwhile, we finally get to see what creepy Level 5 villain Doyle (pictured, top left) can do — unfortunately for Claire’s biological mom, Meredith.
From NBC:
AS HIRO (MASI OKA) AND OTHERS SEIZE UPON OFFERS TO JOIN RIVAL COMPANY PINEHEARST INDUSTRIES, PETER (MILO VENTIMIGLIA) IS FOREVER CHANGED BY A MEETING WITH ITS SHOCKING FOUNDER — CLAIRE (HAYDEN PANETTIERE) AND HER MOM SANDRA (GUEST STAR ASHLEY CROW) TEAM UP TO SAVE MEREDITH (JESSALYN GILSIG) FROM DOYLE’S (DAVID H. LAWRENCE XVII) TWISTED GRIP
Impressed by his sudden ruthlessness, Villains Knox (guest star Jamie Hector) and Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) bring Hiro (Masi Oka) — among others — into the Pinehearst fold, and give him an assignment. With Angela (Cristine Rose) and the Company paralyzed by recent events, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) goes directly to Pinehearst for answers, and irrevocably changed by the shocking meeting. Meanwhile, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and her mother Sandra (Ashley Crow) attempt to free Meredith (Jessalyn Gilsig) from the thrall of escaped Villain Doyle (David H. Lawrence XVII), who has the ability to take mental and physical control of others. Later, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) brings Tracy (Ali Larter) to Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), hoping he can shed light on the surprising origin of their abilities.
David Anders, Alan Blumenfeld, Robert Forster and Blake Shields guest star.
Episode 6, “Dying of the Light”, airs October 20, 2008.

I was thinking it would be cool to see someone like Gambit from X-men, I mean like his power…… but really I don’t think anyone would be able to live up to Gambit, and there for would just look like a cheap knock off. Oh and also this who Knox gets power from peoples fear… Its nothing like the Hulk really but the Hulk gets his power from his own anger…. and the more either character gets Knox/fear… Hulk/anger the stronger they get. Just a thought.

Hi all,
Theres actually a pretend site for the “other” company Pinehearst.
http://www.pinehearstresearch.com/
(Sorry if someone already spotted this and posted)
Has the Heroes helix hidden in its company logo.
Cheers, Gav.

Doesnt the Heroes helix have only one line coming out of the other side (Sorry, didn’t take Bio very much.. don’t know what it’s called lol)?
Also, Where’s the description for the 5th Episode? :S

That sounds amazing I really hope that Adam, Arthur and Maury will be in a scene together then.

wanna bet that the founder of Pinehurst is Arthur Petrelli
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
That seems reasonable.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
But why would Peter be forever changed?, shocking would be the word if it were Art but would it really be shocking for Pete to discover his paps is alive, I mean with all the things he can do?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
The thing here is, and I’m sure some peopel are going to get angry when I say this.. but Peter isn’t very smart lol. Future Peter wouldn’t have been surprised, but PP would probably freak out and be all “AHH!” Don’t get my wrong, I like Peter a lot, he’s an awesome character, but he’s a wimp lol.

…and male nurses are usually such bad-asses! lol

Yeah I’d be more surprised if Arthur wasn’t alive more than if he was. Seeing him is one of the things I want to see most. Tons of questions there! He’s the key to everything.

What are the rumors on Arthur Petrelli’s power?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
weather pattern manipulation(from article in HS2)?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)

(Report This Comment to the Mods)

Claire
Peter
Nathan
Linderman
Sylar
Meredith
HRG
Comissioner Gordon
Everyone! :S

In a way Jessica should be added to that list. She died in a car accident, and came back through Niki.
Interesting note: Niki had personalties of at least 3 of her sisters, in addition to her own. Perhaps super-strength isn’t her real ability.

I’m thinking Peter’s encounter in this episode is where he gets the scar. Thats the only real reasonable change that could be considered “irrecovable.”

And if Claire can’t die, how is future Peter dead? This guy should be a god, and shouldn’t he have the Haitan’s power too?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
How is future Peter dead? Futur Claire shot him and the haitien was here so he couldn’t use his abilities
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
I liked it when present pete slammed the hatian in his face
(episode 4)

Peter can’t take the Haitian’s power … when he’s around the Haitian, his power to acquire power is blocked.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
yes he can, if he cut his head open
because he has the power of sylar now, so he unterstands how the haitian works from the inside.

I’m guessing peter finds out about claire’s not really his niece,but his bride. Nathan’s not claire’s biological father,but my guess’s Bruce box-something(a guy from tron)’s character is.
I think petrelli parents found out about claire’s not nathan’s daughter,& so they sents away 2 bennets.
I’m guessing peter rescued her in a childhood fire while his parents’ business trip since he’s fourteen is. He’s develops his abilities at that age,& they found out about it & injected him w/ the virus. I think he can’t remember of it.
14 years later,we meets up again in “Homecoming”. They destined 2 be together.
My another guess’s the “other” company’s like x-maison from x-men. I believe they want 2 help “gifted” & teach them 2 use their abilities 4 good proposes(saving people’s lives).
I’m guessing the dad’s like prof. xaiver w/ wolverine’s ability(It’s kinda cool peter has his powers). The mother’s like myique. She want 2 turn “gifteds”(w/ abilities) & “normals(without abilities) against one & other.
Elle turned out 2 be their half-sister.

u right shelli the other company name is pinehearst and i think one of the bosses might be linderman and 80% sure that maury parkman, daphne, knox and even hiro they all gonna work for pinehearst and daphne gave the power to go please formula to pniehearst boss so i think that’s all i can remenber right now HEROES RULES ,HEROESFOREVER
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Any spoilers on whehter Arthur is gonna work with Angela, Sylar, and Peter or against them with Pinehearst??? I’d like to see him work with them at the Company but I think that he is the powerful leader behind Daphne, Knox, Linderman, Maury, etc.

I cant wait to see this one over here!!

Dontcha just love Mondays?

Yeah…Peter and Clair hookup we’d have to change the name of the show to Trailer Trash Heroes…lol
Why are people forever trying to pair these two characters up? We can put Mohinder, Maya, Matt, Daphny all raising Molly…Give her a supper complex…Hey that could be a sequel or a funny sitcom with powers.
Never mind the minute Maya starts hyperventilating everybody dies.
Can’t wait to see how it plays out tonight!

I think Peter will change forever because he will acquire a new power possibly from his father. Do we know for sure what his power is? Also, now that he has Sylar’s power he’s a killer…maybe he kills his father?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
I was wrong about the dad. I found out he’s more pure evil. My guess’s he’s like magneto from x-men,& he want 2 take over the world.
Hah,hah,hah. Very funny,booeyman(asshole!). I think they makes a very cute couple!

One thing that i wonder the most is that peter’s abilities are so awesome but you can hardly find he using it usually…. for example, if im not wrong, there are only about 3 times peter flies
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Does anyone actually know how Nathan revived? We know it can’t be Linderman, because Linderman is just a thought or whatever you want to call it. The only reason I can see for Nathan’s survival is the fact that he may still have Claire’s blood in his body. Other than that…I don’t really know what to think.

nice one boogieman. ROFL.
Noah = Elle + Gabriel. Both want to be something special. They hooked up.
Maya + Mohinder, exotic love.
Peter + Claire, trailer trash heroes. haha.
Daphne + Matt feat. Molly, Late night Supper complex.

Wouldn’t Peter already have his father’s ability, (whatever it may be)?
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
i hope Elle and Sylar hook up so they can have Noah in the future. But i don’t know why in the future u don’t see who Noah’s mother is?

Hey…. Peter can absorbs power when anyone near by him. right!.
but when he was with his father(arthur petrelli) at Pinehearst, why he didn’t take his father’s power….
