Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 1 (3.01) The Second Coming
By Sam | July 30, 2008 (8:43 pm)
Ah, it’s another year, another season of Heroes, and our very first preview of the very first episode of Season 3 — “The Second Coming”, formerly called “The Butterfly Effect”. Scheduled to premiere with a 2-hour block on September 22 of this year (after a one-hour special episode to help viewers catch up to what’s happened previously), “The Second Coming” was recently screened at Comic Con, and SPOILERS for the episode abound. NBC has finally released an official description for the episode, as well as five promo images. Without further ado: Heroes Season 3 Episode 1 is here!
Official Description:
Previously in “Volume 1: Genesis” and “Volume 2: Generations,” when a total eclipse cast its shadow across the globe, a multitude of everyday men and women with special powers seemingly were called forth. To prevent grim predictions of the future, a handful of these individuals banded together to save the cheerleader, New York City, and the world. Now, as ominous, new signs signal catastrophe ahead, new and familiar adversaries begin to gather…
With his abilities returned to him, serial killer Sylar (Zachary Quinto) relentlessly continues to accumulate other people’s abilities, which leads him to the Bennet house. Bound to a secret company with a keen interest in people like his daughter, “H.R.G.,” a.k.a. Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman), finds new purpose when his most dangerous, fantastic foes break out of custody and must be dragged back. Reeling from recent events and revelations, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), an indestructible high school cheerleader, struggles to define her identity and place in the world.
An act of heroism unveils an amazing secret about Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), a Las Vegas single mother with astonishing strength — and an unknown, hidden family. In Japan, Yamagato Industries heir Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) continues to use his ability to pierce the space-time continuum and manipulate time to leap into wild, international adventures with his best friend, Ando Masahashi (James Kyson Lee).
Nathan Petrelli’s (Adrian Pasdar) attempted assassination leads several Heroes on a stunning spiritual quest to explain his power of flight. For his younger brother, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), the future and present collide as his many absorbed powers lead him to discover that the only way to end the catastrophic moment facing the world is to do the unimaginable. Meanwhile, their ruthless mother Angela (Cristine Rose) and her associates continue their ongoing, complex machinations to change the world from the shadows.
Former LAPD officer Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) is taught new ways to use his expanding ability to hear and manipulate other’s thoughts by an unlikely guide. Dr. Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), a genetics professor from India, takes a dangerous step into darkness as his research into those with extraordinary abilities living among us continues. Far from her Dominican Republic home, Maya Herrera (Dania Ramirez), who causes death when filled with fear or anger, begs Suresh to cure her – only to watch helplessly as he embraces his darker side.
Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…

ZEROES, I’m sorry….. I mean Heroes is still a silly, poorly written show by a sorry hack writer that couldn’t write his way out of a tampon box.
Tim Kring is a talentless clown.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Well gald to see you have a strong following on here, troll
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Yeah.. so how many seasons does a ‘talented’ writer usually get?’ Dont be a moron. You are like a stick in the mud, a fly in the pudding, thorn in the side, a d_ck in the a$$. Comments such as yours, would belong on a anti-heroes site.. not a pro-heroes site. Go be miserable some place else.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
you suck
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Tim Kring is talentless? hahaha he was able to attract milions of viewers, how bout you? people like you have deep problems, if you have any friends i suggests you ask help from them. You dont even know Tim Kring and you judge him already if there are more people like you here in this world, we wont survive.

Hey loser, stop posting here!

well, belated insightful comment. but some of us, well should i say most of us LIKE Heroes and actually enjoy the show. so flame shows somewhere else.

I really need an answer.. Who the hell is Angela talking to when she says.. You need to be strong for whats to come?
Could it be Sylar or just Peter? Because I can clearly see that the guy that says ‘where did they go’ and angela says ‘they escaped’ is Peter and in the same place, they are making someone ready for a war against the villains (the ‘you need to be strong part’, and the last one is a theory)
P.S. It would be f*cking amazing if Peter absorbed all of those guys abilities and was sent to catch them. Almost more awsome if it was Sylar. I just want to know who that guy that was told ‘be strong to is’
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
That would be Sylar. The why, is up for debate.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
belated could you be anymore of a loser going out of your way to write negative thoughts towards a show that tons of people love? i dont think ya could get a life jerk
as for the you need to be strong, is suspected shes talking to Sylar but its speculation we might not even find out this episode. I figure future peter was talking to Angela at the the end of season 2 the whole pandoras box thing it makes sence if you think about it.

rumor has it that syler takes claire’s powers but doesn’t kill her. apparently he doesn’t “eat brains”.
i wonder if claire will get new powers with mohinder’s new medicine. that’s the other rumor … that mohinder has created a new kind of mediciine that gives people powers. which leads to mohinder obtaining special powers.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
well i can answer your question. sylar takes claires skull off and studys her brain (LITERALLY) then he puts the top of the head back on and it heals (LITERALLY, and so sylar has claires healing power and claire is still alive, this maybe why claire doesn’t mind his company in one of the adverts because he doesnt need to kill her (again)
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Could be. I mean Claire’s power now doesnt allow her to be a threat to anyone. And it sounds like she pretty dangerous in the future.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
yeah, i am suspecting she gets a power. know which one. that is the only way she can be thath “bad-ass” in the future. which is cool b/ling is an awesome powr to have, it still would be cool to have something to protect urself with.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
sorry, my keyboard is weird. i meant to say although healing is a cool powr, she needs something else to protect herself and it would be cool to see a different powr .
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
well she does have a gun in the future….thats protection a new power for he wouldnt be good though if everyone got new powers plus their own it would be too much now if her power grew into something else that would be different like instead of healing herself she could heal others like linderman.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
the whole Matt story is interesting Im willing to bet future Peter sends him back in time and hes found by Maury his dad and his dad teaches him how to use his power better.
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
if peter can heal why the hell does he have scars in the future

So true, what a good point! Nice one Mullen!
