heroes recaps

Monday night saw the the Golden Globe winning and critically acclaimed TV show Heroes return from its winter vacation to overwhelming fanfare. The hit TV show returned to the air at it’s usual time with episode 12: “Godsend”, which shed light on the future of Peter Petrelli, Hiro Nakamura’s journey to find a powerful samurai sword and even gave us our first glimpse at one of two new Heroes, an invisible man named Claude. But the journey has just begun.

The overwhelming popularity and success of Heroes made its episode 12 return #1 in the Nielsen ratings for it’s time slot and has already earned it a second season deal, to which Heroes creator Tim Kring said “The idea behind the show is what happens to these characters and their lives. Season one posits an apocalyptic event; we will deal with that in season one, then season two will have another story attached to it. There won’t be a central mystery with the show, so we don’t have to deal with a large complicated storyline.”

Since the series faithful return on Monday night, the good people over at NBC have released a few interesting bits of info, along with some brand spanking new Heroes videos:

Heroes News: Two New Heroes!

Jared over at JustJared.com has come up with a few interesting details about the upcoming January 22nd return episode of NBC’s Heroes, titled “Godsend.”

According to Jared, the return episode of Heroes will see Masi Oka aka Hiro Nakamura, set out in search of a “sacred object” – his samurai sword. As if Hiro finally going after his samurai sword isn’t cool enough, we’ll be meeting a new character too! Claude, played by Christopher Eccleston of Dr. Who fame plays an invisible man. Tim Kring, the man behind NBC’s Heroes sensation, had the following to say about the new Claude character: “He’s been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he’ll give us a different view into this hero world. He’s big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter — albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He’ll help Peter learn to use and control his powers.” Sweeeet!

And the goodness doesn’t stop there my friends! If you read the Heroes Graphic Novel on the NBC website, then you know doubt have realized we may be in store for yet another new character! Hana, who – rumor has it – will be played by Jessalyn Gilsig of Nip/Tuck, may be stepping up to take the place of Eve, who recently splattered her own brains on the wall in an effort to prevent Sylar from taking her powers. Apparently she seems to fall into Eve’s roll willingly, as well, so she wasn’t forced into being a henchmen by Claire’s father, the evil Dr. guy. Sadly, though, her power will pale in comparison to Eve’s. Hana will allegedly possess the power to act like a human computer network, with the ability to send text messages and emails with mind power, along with being able to listen in on any phone conversation at her will. I have to say, Eve’s mind control was a way cooler power, but Hana could certainly prove useful.

I’m getting more and more excited with every story and rumor I read. The January 22nd return of NBC’s hit TV series Heroes is going to be fantastic, and the “Godsend” title return episode will no doubt prove to be aptly named after a nearly 2-months hiatus.

Heroes News: Masi Oka Scores a Movie Deal

heroes

Masi Oka, better known as Hiro Nakamura on NBC’s hit TV show Heroes, has landed himself a movie deal!

No doubt due in large part to the huge success of the Heroes TV series, Oka has been cast for the Robert Luketic movie 21.

21 is based on the Ben Mezrich book “Bringing Down The House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.” The movie and book are both based on a true story that is incredibly well known in the blackjack and gambling world.

Six M.I.T students, along with a former math instructor, all worked together by using disguises, secret signals and a skill that will get you thrown out of any casino, or worse, know as card counting to take a number of Las Vegas casinos for nearly $4-million. At that time scamming, especially at Blackjack, for that much money was unheard of.

The movie, without a doubt, should prove to be a good one. I’m a huge fan of Heroes, love gambling and love Masi Oka, so I’ll certainly be checking it out.

On another Heroes note, don’t forget, Masi Oka will be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tomorrow night, where he’ll reveal some juicy tidbits about the series return on January 22nd!
