Big Ali Larter Spoiler!

01/08 - No [Niki is not coming back(Damn!)]. But that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Ali Larter. I'm hearing that the plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over. Not Jessica (double damn!), not the whipped-cream chick from Varsity Blues, and that leaves...someone we've seen before. Of course, all that is subject to change due to the current holding pattern.

So Nobody Died?

Well, last night was quiet the blood bath, wasn't it? At least three Heroes apperently saved NBC a lot of money by allowing themselves to be Sylared, blown-up, and J.R.'ed all in one hour. All setting up quite the cliffhanger for when ever the writers-producers-studio heads cabal come back from thier paid vacations (by know you know how I feel about this B.S. laughingly called a strike).



But before we tell you what this blog will be doing whilst we wait, our Heroes uber-fan Kristin des Santos posted some inside scoop on who flies and who dies.



Apperently, just about no one...



Three Heroes Have Fallen; So Who Will Rise? We all know Claire's blood can save the world and pretty much everyone in it, so who'll get hot the cheerleader injection (wait, that sounded dirty) and come back to the show? Based on what I'm hearing from inside sources, here's where I'd put my money...



Ali Larter: According to Heroes insiders, Niki is not expected to return to the show. But her devilish alter ego Jessica? Oh yeah, we'll see her as soon as the show comes back to the beloved airwaves, when the strike is through! At least, that's the current plan according to sources, who tell me producers had "done all they could do" with Niki. Micah is not gonna be happy. But at least he'll have Monica...




(My take: YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! It was the drop dead deadly, smartass, badass Jessica that I fell in love with in the beginning. The question is will Jessica continue to protect Micah...or will she clash with Monica. Or will they team up. If I was a bad guy in the Big Easy, that would be bad news!)









David Anders: I'd bet my beloved, signed Hiro poster that Hiro's sworn nemesis will return. (I've seen that '90s flick The Vanishing and know that people can be dug up after being buried alive! Maybe we can even get Kiefer Sutherland to do the digging like he did for Nancy Travis!) Sources tell me it's not set in stone, but that the tentative plan is for Adam Monroe to be back to torment our favorite squinty teleporter, i.e. the "carp." Here's hoping he does.





(My Take: Probably. I don't think Adam is done with Hiro..or the Heroes yet.)







Adrian Pasdar: I've heard the production and writing staff is somewhat split as to whether Nathan should return to the show when the show returns. Allow me to be the first to say WTF? Heroes without the brothers would be like Prison Break or Brothers & Sisters without the brothers: i.e., a waste of time! Surely Claire's blood can save her own father, right?! Let's say a little prayer for the older Petrelli, shall we?



(My take: I proabably think that Adrian [and Ali, too. for that matter] have been looking at history. Remember the last time someone got shot on TV during a writers strike? His name was J.R. Ewing. Larry Hagman held CBS for ransom during that perfect storm, and I uderstand they are still loading up armoured trucks to pay him.

He is also the only one of the three with not much to lose. His wife is Dixie Chick #1 Natalie Maines, he has also written a musical called Atlanta, starring his Heroes buddy Len Roberts. He doen't need to do the show. But he wants to.

Look for Pasdar to come back. Richer. Much richer.


Oh, and just so there is any doubt. Maya is gone. Thank you, God.


So what will we do here at HF? Well, there are still graphic novels to cover, Hana's e-mails to decipher, there's still that f------ strike. Not to mention some of the better...and maybe juicier...fanfics.


Oh, and so you know, Heroes WILL be back. The question is when.


Settle it now, homies.

Heroes Redux: Alejandro Speaks (in English!)[eonline]

Oct. 30, 2007 8:00 AM

It was another Heroic installment of our beloved superfriends last night! To celebrate, I've got a special guest in today's Heroes Redux: Shalim Ortiz, who plays Alejandro. As you can see in the video box above, he reveals his take on Alejandro and Maya's abilities, and exactly how long he was supposed to stay on the series...Pretty fascinating!

( To see it, go to http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=8cbe5708-e08a-4468-9dea-b947d6fe6ed7 )

Check it out, then read on for what you may have missed in Heroes' sixth episode of the season—and the spoilerific goodies that lie ahead...

WHAT WE LEARNED

Hookup! We're calling Maya and Sylar a shiny new pairing called "Mylar," right? (Much better than Syaya, which I can't even pronounce.) Those two are great together, and I hope they mate and make evil blackeyed superbabies that take over the world. Is that wrong?

Breakup! Glass-cabinet shattering Mohinder is a good Mohinder. He's like a junior HRG, channeling his fatherly instincts into violence.

Smackdown! Did anyone else get shades of Alias in the scene where HRG was giving fatherly advice to his daughter via phone while nonchalantly torturing a prisoner? It was like Spy Daddy and Super Syd all over again. (Will Claire ever get to go on countermissions and wear cool wigs?! Find out next time on...Heroes!)

EVIL! Can we now state for certain that Bob, West and Kensei are dirty rotten scoundrels? Bob lies like a Nixon staffer, West took pleasure in terrorizing that girl, and Kensei must be evil, because he's messing with my boy Hiro. Anybody dispute their villainy?

The Evidence: If you like digging into the details, the nice people that run the Interweb have posted screen grabs of Isaac's eight paintings including what an angry blonde (Niki in New Orleans?), perhaps Peter and a biohazard symbol, a vial of something powerful, a man with a broken nose and a smoking gun, and what appears to be Hiro and Kensei engaged in a fierce swordfight.

WHAT LIES AHEAD

Elle Is Super Kinkay: In ep 8, which flashes back four months, just wait till you see how sadistic our darling Kristen Bell can be as she gleefully zaps and zings Peter. Oh, and FYI, their lips might kinda sorta meet. And oh yeah, I might freak. I mean, Veronica and Jess lip-locking? Hello? That's the stuff of TV legends!

Maya Is Super Bad: And not in a fun Michael Cera of Superbad way—more like a Bill from Kill Bill kinda way. Just wait till you see what she did four months ago! You'll think her brother is a saint.

Nathan Is Super Lucky: You know that creeptastic burned dude Mr. Petrelli keeps seeing in the mirror? Sources confirm to me that's most definitely Nathan just a few months back, and the reason he looks so good is that (a) Adrian Pasdar is genetically blessed and (b) there's a cool new "cure" of sorts that could do a whole lotta people some good—including Nathan and, I don't know, perhaps Isaac and D.L. and Simone and Daddy Suresh, to name a few.

Kensei Is Super Old: 400 years old and he looks that good without a smidge of Botox? No fair! And he might even have picked himself up an Anglo name! You'll see very soon, and so will Peter, who gets a new bunkmate.

A Hero Is Super Dead: Sylar's gonna kill a Hero. A non-Hero's gonna kill a non-Hero. And then Sylar's gonna kill another Hero. Yeah, news flash: The guy's still ridonkulously evil. Don't let that shiny new Mylar fool you!

Until next time, post your theories, comments, rants and raves below. And given what Shalim says in the video clip, perhaps we should start a death pool? I'm just sayin'...
