In my mind, the Thanksgiving Holiday is a day to make amends as you thank the people you love and loved you. And this HEROES episode looks no different than what might be happening in real life. Like the Bennet family for instance. H.R.G. will host a thanksgiving dinner for his family! And that means Lyle, mom Sandra and Claire will all be at the same table so this is a chance for H.R.G to redeem his life back.

And it looks like the Petrelli family is about to have their own celebration as well. Nathan has showed up again and Angela’s world is now complete. Poor woman. Her world has continued to revolve around this one son to the complete ignorance of another.

Although now that Sylar knows who was responsible for his split “personalities”, he might be hunting down Nathan Petrelli and try to get his body back, and he’s going to end with destroying the Petrellis.

Here is the episode description for HEROES 4.11 “Thanksgiving” (I don’t have to remind you. An episode description contains SPOILERS! so let me put this after the cut.)

THANKSGIVING UNITES FAMILIES TOGETHER AND BRINGS NEW REVELATIONS — H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) hosts an untraditional Thanksgiving dinner. Elsewhere, the Petrelli family gets a surprise guest at their table. Meanwhile, Samuel (Robert Knepper) continues to hold Hiro (Masi Oka) hostage, as Lydia (guest star Dawn Olivieri) goes in search for the truth. Greg Grunberg, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Cristine Rose and Milo Ventimiglia also star. Ashley Crow, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Madeline Zima, Ray Park, Harry Perry, Elisabeth Rohm, Andrew Connolly also guest star.

I won’t be surprised if Sylar turns up at the Petrelli place. Unfortunately, he might come as Matt Parkman and that can throw off Angela completely. Where’s the Haitian when you need him?

As for the Carnival… Samuel is getting dangerously close to snapping. That’s just my opinion and nothing anywhere in the show indicates this. But the man has become reckless and desperate and I still can’t get why. I thought he was grieving his brother’s death. And then it was about bringing everyone in to the fold, which also didn’t make sense why he wanted to do that. So now is it about murdering Mohinder (which could make someone act like he did), and perhaps asking Hiro to cover it up or go back in time to change it.

One of these days, Samuel will make a really big mistake and bring his own demise.

These images are all a sneak peek from one scene, but there’s a potential death written all over it that you really have to check them out. Even if the photos are SPOILERS.

The scene is between Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) and Sylar (Zachary Quinto) and having two clashing powers in one body will likely result in fatal injuries. It’s been riveting to watch Matt and Sylar battle it for control. Greg and Zach are such great actors you can feel the anger brew between their characters. We know Sylar overpowered Matt’s control over his own body (he learned quick how to use Matt’s powers against him!) but who’s to say Sylar is invulnerable?

Uh-oh. This is really bad. Let’s hope Sylar knows what he is doing. He can’t put Matt’s life in danger, right? If Matt dies, so does he.

No way!

OK, let’s hope that Sylar can use his regenerative abilities and heal all of Matt’s injuries. I mean, if Matt dies…

Here you go! If you saw tonight’s episode on HEROES you would not want to miss anymore of this show! The stories are riveting, and it’s keeping us on the edge! What will happen to Claire now that her powers are exposed? How will Matt Parkman regain his body back from Sylar? The sneaky psychopath tricked him! And if you recall from two episodes down, Peter acquired Jeremy’s powers of death-and-life. Can Peter handle that kind of power to give life or take it?

Check out the episode summary for HEROES 4.09 “Shadowboxing” –

CLAIRE LEARNS THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ATTACKS AND SYLAR TAKES MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS – JIMMY JEAN-LOUIS, MADELINE ZIMA, DEANNE BRAY, DAWN OLIVIERI AND TESSA THOMPSON GUEST STAR — Claire (Hayden Panettiere) is determined to get to the bottom of the Sorority Rush attacks on her own, until H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) intervenes only to realize he may be the source of her troubles. Meanwhile, Peter’s (Milo Ventimiglia) new ability is a perfect fit for his job and gives him the opportunity to help Emma (guest star Deanne Bray) accept her new life. Elsewhere, Sylar’s (Zachary Quinto) battle at gaining full control over Matt’s (Greg Grunberg) body escalates — with potentially dangerous implications at stake. Robert Knepper and Adrian Pasdar also star. Kat Purgal, Carlease Burke, Danica Stewart, Candice Patton, Sally Champlin and Assaf Cohen also guest star.

Let’s speculate! Peter’s first patient will be Emma and of course he restores her hearing! But would that remove her powers? Emma isn’t someone who is very open to change, so I wonder how she will take this, or if Peter will get to use his new powers on her.

I wonder what the writers mean that HRG is the cause of Claire’s trouble? Samuel had mentioned Jack previously as someone who had been on their tail. Is Samuel’s intentions for Claire because of her dad?

And of course, there’s Matt versus Sylar. This is just scary to think what Sylar can do to Matt’s body now that he owns it! I don’t like the sound of “potentially dangerous implications at stake”. When it comes to Sylar, you just know it’s catastrophic.

The tension on this episode is increasing in notch! HEROES has worked very hard to restore it’s season 1 feel and it is absolutely working for me! The storylines keeps unfolding to keep us watching and and each episode is tight and moving fast.

 So, here’s a highlight of tonight’s episode, titled “Strange Attractors” –

• Claire is busted! Fellow pledge of her sorority now know of her powers, after an encounter with lead girl Becky (Tessa Thompson) , who attempted to kill Gretchen (Madeline Zima) while remaining invisible. Claire (Hayden Panettiere) fought back and Becky rammed her to a post with a huge nail. Unfortunately, two other girls saw Claire hanging by a nail (literally) when Gretchen pulled her down.
• Sylar traps Matt inside his own body! Desperate to get rid of Sylar (Zachary Quinto) after Sylar used Matt’s (Greg Grunberg) body to have sex with Janice (Lisa Lackey), Matt tried to intoxicate Sylar by downing alcohol till he got drunk and they both passed out. Unknown to Matt, Sylar slipped into Matt’s mind while Matt was unconscious and “took over the driver’s seat”. So now, they’ve exchanged places – Sylar has control of Matt’s body, and Matt is the schizophrenic half.
•  Noah Bennet fails and a healer dies. Thinking he can handle Jeremy’s (Mark L. Young) case and make the kid disappear from radar, Noah (Jack Coleman) asked Tracy (Ali Larter) for help in relocating the boy. Unfortunately, Samuel (Robert Knepper) got to Tracy first and casted doubts about those with abilities remaining invisible to society. When Noah and Tracy tried to get Jeremy to safety, the townsfolk tried to stop them and Jeremy used his “death-power” to kill someone on the spot. This angered some cops so much that later, secretly, he had Jeremy killed. Tracy was so heartbroken about failing to save Jeremy that she now thought of joining Samuel’s Carnival and live in the open.
• Samuel raises hell. Angered by failing to get Jeremy alive, Samuel moves the earth around the Sheriff’s office and the entire building crumbles. I doubt anyone would have survived that!

So, how did you like tonight’s episode? Let’s talk about it! I have questions to get some discussion going –

1. What should Claire do now that her secret has been exposed?
2. Matt is really in big trouble now, and I think this is more than he can handle. What should he do now?
3. I think Sylar’s powers are still limited (although it’s already so scary what he did to Matt), so he still needs to find his body. But I wonder why he just doesn’t rummage through Matt’s memory/mind for it?
4. Should Tracy take up Samuel’s offer and live in the Carnival?

Does Gabriel Gray (Zachary Quinto) have a chance at a new life? NOT. He walked right into Samuel’s (Robert Knepper) welcoming arms, and now there is no telling what this master manipulator has in store for Sylar. One thing is certain – Gabriel Gray/Sylar is getting baptized! (and more photos here)

Here’s the episode trailer for “Tabula Rasa” -

When Samuel meant “jump start" and wake the sleeping giant in Sylar, he uses Damian, who powers like the Haitian, only working in opposite and maybe making one remember instead of forget. Will Sylar remember who he is, who psycho he is, and what will happen to him after this? I wonder, though, if  Sylar gets his memories back does this mean he stops tormenting Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg)?

In another story, I’m glad Hiro will get his chance at a new life, if Noah (Jack Coleman) and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) can just get that healer-boy to help them!

After seeing the preview of tonight’s episode (“Ink”) on HEROES, I’ve been trying to look for more sneak peeks and I just can’t find any.. well, except for a promo of the premiere of TRAUMA, which comes after tonight’s HEROES.

But there is a new thing at HEROES. Recurring guest star Ray Park spoiled it in my interview last week – it’s a series of webisodes featuring him, Dawn and Robert, and it’s all about their back stories. Those should be really cool to watch, huh?  (By the way, check back later for part two of my interview with Ray  Park).

ODI referred that the NBC/Sprint “media episodes” will be 90 seconds, with the first 30 seconds airing during the commercial breaks and the final minute to continue online at NBC.

Meantime, there are some things we already know (aka spoiled!) for tonight:

• Emma (Deanne Bray) guest stars as a deaf heroine, or heroine-in-the-making, and Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) will become part of her life.
• Gretchen (Madeline Zima) pushes Claire (Hayden Panettiere) to reveal her secret abilities.
• Samuel (Robert Knepper) has an inside person to mess Claire’s mind up. Guess who that is! I bet it’s the same person who betrays Claire.
• Sylar is beginning to resurface away from Nathan, thanks to Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg)
• PHOTOS!

HEROES is at 8pm already, OK.. Still at NBC… And I’ll meet you later here to talk about volume 5’s episode “Ink”.

Here are some promotional pictures for next Monday’s episode on HEROES. There are very few spoilers, but they’re great intro nonetheless. We already saw the photos of Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) saving a deaf Emma (guest star Deanne Bray) from an accident. Now it looks like that serendipity will lead into something else between them, as the photos below will show.

And then there is Sylar (Zachary Quinto) tormenting Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) non-stop. I wonder if these pictures tie in with the preview of Matt losing his control, and Sylar congratulating him of how alike they are. I’m glad Sylar is back to his creepy, scary self, and he hasn’t use an ounce of power yet.

More photos below the cut! WARNING – SPOILERY IMAGES!!!

"Heroes" Greg Grunberg and Jeff Gaspin, Chairman, NBC Universal Television Entertainment at NBC Press Tour

After last season, Greg’s and Adrian’s characters now share something in common – SYLAR. After Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) melted Sylar’s (Zachary Quinto) mind and made him into Nathan (Adrian Pasdar),  Sylar now inhabits Nathan’s body but a “piece” of his mind was transferred to Matt also.

Greg and Adrian spoil the new volume Redemption when they talked with NBC, so beware that you’ll get spoilers from hereon…

Well, now Sylar wants out, but the only way for him to get his body back is for Matt to give it to him. So Sylar kidnaps Matt’s son!  Watch the video…

 GREG GRUNBERG Is all Yowza!! Greg’s been a busy bee this summer promoting his new app/business – YOWZA!! and such a success too! Check Greg out as he makes fans shout YOWZA!"

On a different note, get hold of BAND FROM TV’s performance on Jay Leno (via Greg’s tweet) and their CD/DVD “Hoggin All The Covers [CD/DVD Combo]”.  It’s such a blast watching these actors have fun!

HAYDEN AND MILO HUDDLE. Here’s an interesting clip of Hayden and Milo as she huddled behind her co-star/ex-boyfriend at the filming of the last scene of Heroes season 3.

LEATHER-CLAD MILO VENTIMIGLIA IN “GAMER”. Milo Ventimiglia was very excited about his role in the new movie “GAMER”. GAMER is an action-thriller where humans become pawns in a multi-player online game. Gerard Butler stars as a soldier whose movements are being controlled by a millionaire teenager. Butler takes on the game’s mastermind while trying to regain his independence.

Milo Ventimiglia’s character’s name is Rick Rape, who can’t be taken seriously, Milo said in an interview. I’ve seen several trailers of GAMER already but nowhere have I seen Milo’s character in it… well, suddenly this photo appears and it shows Milo in tight leather pants.

More after the cut, including sightings of Masi Oka and Ali Larter.

MASI OKA SIGHTINGS. Masi Attended the screening of Disney’s “PONYO” which is an animated film based on a Japanese adaptation.

ALI LARTER SIGHTINGS. Ali Larter went out for frozen yogurt on a hot day in Los Angeles.

Well, Greg Grunberg made an interesting comment on an interview with Mashable, about what will happen when Heroes comes back this fall with volume 5 (Redemption). Apparently, Parkman’s manipulation will have a ricochet effect on the mind-bender. Some part of Sylar will stay with him and haunt him for the rest of the season. And Sylar won’t be gone for very long!
