The four videos below might clue us in on the link between Suresh and Samuel. These are old footages from the Coyote Sands Relocation Center (“1961”) where Chandra Suresh (Ravi Kapoor), Mohinder’s father, used to work at back in 1961, and it looks like the Company were privy to an earthshaking phenomenon back then.

On March 5th 1961, Chandra discovers a “force” that emanates from people with powers. It’s dangerous enough to house so many people with special abilities but to discover that these individuals“attract” each other is even more alarming.

And there’s more.

On Suresh’s next entry (entry #5), he was about to explain more about the “force” when an earthquake interrupts him. Watch the video clips after the cut.

Later entries (video below) record Chandra Suresh talking about an abnormal spike in seismic activity that might be one of the effects of the force on a pregnant woman.

On Entry #21, Dr. Chandra Suresh experiences the full effect of the cataclysmic event while studying his pregnant subject.

And for math genius among us, here is Dr. Chandra Suresh’s calculations, on footage. I can’t decipher the calculations but the drawing at the end seems to relate to that force he was talking about.

So, my guess is Mohinder discovered these videos and somehow put him on a direct path with Samuel. I won’t be surprised if he is the baby that was born during that period in 1961, and is he caused the earthquake during his birth.

But why Samuel killed him is still a mystery.

Ravi Kapoor is listed as a guest star on episode 4.10 “Brother’s Keeper” so these videos might appear in that episode, when Sendhil Ramamurthy (as Mohinder Suresh) also returns to the scenes. Ravi Kapoor is best known for his role in “Crossing Jordan”, which Tim Kring had directed.

Adrian Pasdar is getting fired! At leas that’s the reveal that come from E! Online writer Kristin Dos Santos.  And this one has the makings of a nasty end.  Apparently, Adrian is pissed.

Adrian Pasdar’s Nathan Petrelli is the major character death happening on Heroes this season, and no, he wasn’t told he was getting fired, he learned about it from a script.

Rumor has it that Adrian will get paid through to the end of the season, so maybe Nathan is really not getting killed for good, at least until the season ends. But even so, none of this should surprise us (or Adrian). I have nothing but respect for the actor as he’s one of the cast who brings depth into his character, but Nathan’s storyline has gone down the drain since the writers thought of killing him last season and then putting him into Sylar. I mean, in all reality (HEROES reality, I mean, whatever that it), Nathan Petrelli is dead. Was dead since months ago. It’s only his mind (persona, essence, memories… whatever) that lives in Sylar’s body. How long can that last, really? Once Sylar gets his mind back from Matt Parkman, that’s the end of Nathan. He just can not exist anymore.

Of course, HEROES can resurrect him and re-make him into another character but… been there done that… he is not Tracy/Niki/Jessica. Adrian’s character also hasn’t grown much since two seasons ago. Nathan hasn’t progressed from being an insecure, selfish power-hungry politician into something better or worse. Most of the other characters have changed (even Hiro) but Nathan has remained essentially the same. And that can get old after four seasons. So, as sad as it is that Adrian is being let go, but it is time to bury Nathan Petrelli.

You would not believe what this new episode contains! Wow. I posted previously that a leading male character will die on HEROES and Hiro’s terminal illness makes him the top, most likely candidate to be wiped out.

Well, duh. Hiro is wearing a hospital gown in this episode, so he must really be in bad shape.

But here’s another twist to all the spoiler – what if Tabula Rasa (meaning to blank slate) means someone will “die and then rise again” into a new life? Well, check these images out because SYLAR HAS JUST BEEN BAPTIZED!

Well, there are thirteen more images after the cut, so don’t stop now.

Seems like Sylar has finally found some measure of happiness. For a while anyway.

Just who is this guy with Sylar?!

I have to appreciate the HEROES writers for Hiro’s character. No matter how corny and lame his scenes (and the attempt on humor) sometimes are, there is one thing the writers have maintained with Hiro – he is untainted. Hiro has been the ideal, ultimate hero and the goodness of his character has been refreshing to watch.

It’s the love story that never was, but now Hiro gets a second chance!

Jayma Mays returns as Charlie in this time-travel episode when Hiro tries to save Charlie from Sylar. But can Hiro really change the past? He already tried to change someone else’s past this Monday, when he went back in time to prevent a co-worker from killing himself. Hiro went back many times and changed multiple events but each time, Tahashi ended up jumping. Well, eventually Hiro did change Tahashi’s fate – when he decided not to intervene anymore.

So I wonder if Hiro learned something from this experience, and use that to change Charlie’s fate.

And in another storyline, Law & Order’s Elizabeth Rohm guests in this episode as H.R.G’s old partner in the Company. That means she’s got powers! But is she on the side of evil or good?

SPOILERY Episode Description after the cut —

HIRO GETS A SECOND CHANCE TO SAVE THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE – JAYMA MAYS RETURNS AS CHARLIE – When Hiro (Masi Oka) travels three years into the past, he has a second chance to save Charlie (guest star Jayma Mays) from the hands of Sylar (Zachary Quinto). However, Samuel’s (Robert Knepper) presence serves to complicate Hiro’s mission even further. Elsewhere, H.R.G.’s (Jack Coleman) past with his Primatech partner (guest star Elizabeth Rohm) is revealed. James Kyson Lee, Hayden Panettiere and Sendhil Ramamurthy also star. Danielle Savre, Sally Champlin and Dawn Olivieri also guest star.

And to my delight, Ray is a fan of the series. 

“I first saw HEROES a couple of years ago and I fell in love with the show and got really excited,” Ray Park starts the interview in his British accent. “I remember a couple of years ago I said to myself if I was going to do a show this would be the show that I would want to work on and now here I am working on the show. I’m a big fan of the show so I’m having a lot of fun being on it. It’s great!”

But really, all we know about Ray’s character is that he is a knife-wielding speedster. What more can he tell us about Edgar?

“He’s part of the carnival where everyone has special abilities and special powers. I have supersonic speed, a little like Daphne in Season Two, but I have acrobatics and martial arts and knife throwing thrown in.” Ray also hinted about a back-story where Edgar killed his old girlfriend, and you’ve got one scary dude.

Ray revealed that he was handpicked for his role on Heroes. The casting director Natalie Hart needed someone like Ray to play a part. And Ray’s response to them? “I’m glad you guys asked me to come in and I’m a really big fan of the show and I would be do this at the drop of a hat.” And now we have Edgar, one mean villain on the Carnival. I can tell that Ray is a real fan of the show, and he is very excited to be working with the team. He also let on that his role got a little bigger from what they expected when they first asked him in, and yet, he doesn’t exactly know where his character is headed (like everyone else says of their characters!).

“I’m really excited but at the same time it’s a little frustrating because I want to know. I started at the beginning and I don’t know what the end is going to be. I always feel what my ending is — I’m going to be killed off. I’m preparing for it and my fans say why do always say you’re going to get killed off. And I said because it always happens to me (laughter).”

Maybe you can write the script of how you die, I mused. “If I’m going to die, it’s going to be great death”

But I have a feeling he isn’t going to die in tonight’s premiere (oops! SPOILER), because Ray tells me they’re working on a back story with Sprint. (more after the cut!)

“At the moment myself, Robert and Dawn are working with Sprint and doing something for commercial breaks and webisodes.”

Now, isn’t that cool! There wasn’t much lead over the summer about who the Carnival people are.

“It’s just more of a back story on building the character and the trailers. And it sort of ties into what we have done before. There’s a lot of questions for my character. Are we headed in the right direction? We’ve been hiding, we’ve been doing this for so long. Do we want to have others involved or do we want to expose ourselves to others around? Are we on the right path? Because I’m not too sure about where we’re going.”

Aha, so that’s definitely something fans can wait for online!

“Yes, it does. I think the carnival’s gotten a lot bigger. They all expected it to be big basically, “Ray Park aka Edgar adds. “Everyone is really pumped up about what we’re doing, I mean [Robert Knepper] is a leader, he’s a leading man, he’s a phenomenal actor, and to be in his presence and have scenes with him is unbelievable.”

“Everyone is buzzing about the new season and I just realized last night, oh my goodness it’s coming out. I started to get really nervous. I’m really excited about. I’ve got to watch myself, because… and I’m liking it!”

Ray Park would be watching, wow, and we’ll be watching him ace it with the carnival. Tonight, on NBC at 8pm, HEROES returns for its fourth season with a two-hour premiere.

And tomorrow, we’ll talk about HEROES again, and Ray Park one more time for the second half of my interview. You’ll get a feel for that cool scene he had with Milo Ventimiglia. Meantime…

HEROES IS BACK!

We had plenty of Heroes-related news this week!

First, it’s almost time for the great summer Comic Con at San Diego and of course, Heroes as a panel. Early release of schedules didn’t include Heroes, but now it looks like the show is back, and into SDCC. ODI writes the panel will be on a Saturday and Tim Kring will bring a smaller cast.

Speaking of cast, another actor joins Heroes this fall – Battlestar Galactica’s Rick Worthy. He’ll be playing Matt Parkman’s new partner as an experienced L.A. cop. My feeling is that Worthy’s character won’t have powers, but he’ll find out about Matt. 

And in still another spoiler, James Kyson Lee talked to TV Guide this week to promote his Sci-Fi original movie “Star Runners”. James lets on a spoiler about him and Hiro starting a business that involves “glitter spandex”? Totally weird.

Claire Bennet is finally growing up, and she’s a college freshman at a yet-undisclosed Washington DC college. It looks like freshman orientation week and Claire is checking out the ‘field’.

This season on “Heroes”, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) will be involved in what Tim Kring spoils as “campus suicide”. That’s going to cost Claire her chance at a normal life, on top of the trouble brewing at home between Dad Noah and Mom Sandra Bennet. On campus, Claire will have two roommates, an edgy outsider named Gretchen (Madeline Zima) who will be at orientation with Claire, and Annie (Rachel Melvin). I think one of these girls will be the suicide victim, and my bet is on the outsider. Sorry, Madeline…

Check out the rest of the photos after the cut… and also some more shots of Claire Bennet on campus at my other site – HaydenRocks.com.

• Malik: Late 20s – 30s. Male. Iranian. A smart paramedic working in New York who has been assigned to work with a rather peculiar partner.

• Kid: 4-6 years old. Male. Caucasian. Dark Hair. Brown eyes. This young boy is frightened by a passing stranger as he rides his tricycle. Could recur.

Now, if only I know where to point you for auditions… Anyone else know?

SPOILERS ALERT!

Adam Monroe. David Anders is coming back. Uhm, we know this already but it’s good to hear it from the man himself. David will be appearing in one of the first six episodes of season 3.

Noah Bennet. He is still incarcerated at Level Five in the company facility, and that’s where all the villains are staying. Jack Coleman says he’s not one of them, but more than likely be their bounty hunter.

Claire Bennet. She will try to use her powers for the greater good rather than just blend in and be anonymous. So she is finally stepping out, as she vowed in the last few episodes of season 2.

Mohinder Suresh. His mild-mannered days are over! Oooh, now that would be dangerously attractive.*wink*

Hiro Nakamura. After his father’s death, he will now be planted at the Yamagato Industries but will be very unhappy taking over his father’s business and needs the quest.

Matt Parkman. According to executive producer Allan Arkush, Matt is going to be “flashing someplace” and it’s one of the cool surprises of the season. Arkush adds that season 3 will explore the “genetic essence of the power” – where it came from and how it affects the beholders.

There is also a scene from a footage shown at the Jules Verne Festival where several heroes appear dead, caused by “12 Sylars running free”. Peter Petrelli is a corpse in a pool of blood. Hiro is pinned to the wall with his own sword, lifeless and Matt has his throat cut open. (BuddyTV)

A villain. Eric Doyle is  a 30s-48yo big, hideous and horrible Caucasian male. He is a disgusting, villainous man who delights in controlling others. The guest star will be needed for Episode 6 of season 3. There’s no word on who will play the part but I’m more interested in the type of character. Villain, huh.. How many villains are we looking at now?

A storyteller. Tim Kring was also said to be looking for an Australian aboriginal actor in his fifties who will play a storyteller with great wisdom and soothing voice, to appear in multiple episodes. Again, no word on who will play this.

A senator. Described as Senator Robert Malden, this man is in his fifties and is a political straight shooter. Michael Ausiello scooped that Bruce Boxleitner got a top-secret recurring role that was modeled after Sen. John McCain. Is this that Senator Malden? Maybe.

“Joy”. A woman in her early twenties and described as “quick on her feet, and adept at getting herself in trouble”. Now this sounds similar to the role that Brea Grant is doing – Daphne, so maybe they changed the name.
