Heroes episode 3.05 “Angels and Monsters“
Airdate: October 13, 2008

Angela Petrelli is the villain-matriarch, controlling her sons’ lives and decisions to make them do her bidding. Nathan and Peter have been fooled before, and now newfound son Gabriel (Sylar) is an obedient puppy too. But Angela Petrelli has met her match!

Arthur Petrelli returns to his dysfunctional family, as the leader of the villains and the father of the three heroes. I bet you he will take the reigns off his wife’s hands.

We all thought he was dead and committed suicide. But images show he is alive, although strapped to a machine. Not for long though, because he pays his dear wife a visit.

The fourth installment for the “Heroes” volume 3 airs tonight, so let’s take a look at who’s buzzing about the show today.

But first, here is a PRIMETIME NEWSY SPOILER (take two). Casting call for what may be a “Volume 4: Fugitives” episode includes this:

• Lauer: 45 - 55. Male. This handsome super-star anchor of a major network news program conducts a high profile interview with a politician.

Uhm, isn’t that someone we know from a morning show? (Very cool how Heroes First spun this.)

Now, onto other buzz:

Graeme takes on the very confusing and alternate futures that “Heroes” posits when she asks “How many futures does Heroes actually need, anyway?”

Totally badasses future Peter and future Claire pose for a photoshoot and Watching Heroes has the pics! Nice grab, Debbie!

Blake Shields, better known as Flint, talks to his hometown paper about his character and coming back (?) for more episodes.

Charlie claims “Heroes has both present and future problems” that have nothing to do with time-travel.

Like it or hate it, episode 304 “Heroes: I am Become Death” is on tonight at 9pm ET at the peacock network.

E! Online reviewed Heroes episode 3.03 “One of us, one of them” and of course added Kristin dos Santos her exclusive dish about the coming episodes. Here’s a rundown -

• Hiro and Ando dig up Adam Monroe for help. Ooooh, won’t he be pissed!
• Tracy Strauss is just one of five (or more?) versions of the same woman, created by Dr. Zimmerman. Let’s see - Niki, Jessica, Gina and who?
• Sylar is a reformed villain in the future. So he’s a dad and Mr. Muggles loves him?! Please tell me this is a nightmare!

(Zach says it’s just a possibility, an alternate future reality. OK, I can sleep tonight.)

Heroes episode 3.03 “One of us, One of them“
Airdate: September 29, 2008

The Level 5 villains have escaped and the Company is scrambling to bring them back. They take a bank hostage and ringleader Benjamin Knox lures the Company to take revenge on Noah Bennet, the one who bagged and tagged them.

After being incarcerated inside his cell for who knows how long, Noah reported back to his employers purportedly to help capture the bad guys. He ends up being partnered with Sylar, who Angela Petrelli vouches for as her misunderstood son. It’s interesting what Angela told Noah when he hesitated to pair up with Sylar - “I can make you do what you don’t want to do.” You really wonder the extent of her powers. So, Angela blamelessly tells Sylar that his uncontrollable “hunger” drove him to become who he is. She is actually encouraging Sylar to take even more, and he doesn’t disappoint.

Peter, stuck in the body of Jesse, finally discovers his host’s powers - the sound waves from his voice become a visible force that displaces everything in its path. Just in time, future Peter steps in, knocks Peter off of Jesse’s body and takes his alter-ego to the future. Now that’s really interesting! We know present and future persona can meet, but to take your other self along to the future? That’s a twisted view of the space-time continuum.

Heroes episode 3.03 “One of us, One of them“
Airdate: September 29, 2008

Tonight at 9 pm ET, “Heroes” continues the battle between good and evil, heroes versus villains, in an episode that hints at alliances that could shock even the most hardened of Company men.

Four villains escape from the Company Level 5 facility and bust a bank. HRG and his new partner negotiates for the hostages. Hiro continues to track Daphne but run afoul of the Haitian.

While we’re watching the show, why not tune into G4, on their show “Attack of the Show“. The villains are going to be broadcasting live.

This year with “Heroes” it’s all about being bad. Villains take over the spotlight and revel in the uproar they are causing. Noah Bennet made a cool intro to the Level 5 villains, and we saw them on a destructive spree at the end of episode 3.02 last week. But we still don’t know much about this new gang of anti-heroes. So I set my scopes on the villains and got one of them to ‘fess up. Ken Lally aka The German.

As The German.

Last episode, we saw this 6-foot escapee beat someone like it was a doll. Then he flicked his hands and the car doors opened. Could you tell me a little bit more about the German?

Ken Lally: Cool. I don’t know if it was based on me or they cast me because I was like him, but my character was developed in the graphic novel. The German was a bank robber, a super villain who could manipulate metal. Company people went to go and tracked him down, and ultimately they caught him and stuck in Level Five.

I want to ask you what his background is, what type of person he is.

Ken: Actually, it’s good to have ambiguity on the show because the writers can do anything they want. Some of the characters even have names in the script that are like HRG and the Haitian. Some have ambiguous backgrounds and no names so the writers can take them in any direction they want as per fans interest. That’s pretty cool.

I read a “Company dossier” on your MySpace page that the German has highly sociopath instincts. Were you able to explore that part of the character yet?

Ken: Oh yeah! It’s a great part of the character because obviously you can manipulate metal. People are comparing me to Magneto, but the thing that I think separates me from Magneto is that I love just kicking ass. (Laughter) I mean I can do these powers and I have this ability, but I’m kind of an ultra-violent guy and really enjoy an old fashion beat down as you saw on the first season premier. I mean while Flint, played by Blake Shield, was using his power to express himself as it were. (Laughter) I wasn’t using my power to express myself. I was just throwing somebody a good beating because I’m brutal, sociopathic and also violent.

And on Monday we are going to rob a bank, as I was told online.

Heroes episode 3.01 “The Second Coming“
Airdate: September 22, 2008

And you thought you couldn’t get excited over “Heroes” again, can you? The season 3 premiere proved everyone wrong that the show has lost its luster. Edge-of-the-seat suspense and cliffhangers from start to finish, that’s what we saw this Monday.

Four years into the future, and it’s still a darker world. Despite preventing New York from exploding and the Shanti virus from being released, the world is still on the brink of catastrophe. It may even be worse, as the heroes themselves have changed.

Volume 3 “Villains” opens with Claire Bennet confronting Peter Petrelli and blaming him for everything that has happened to them. What exactly that is, we don’t know yet, but Claire is pissed off enough to want to kill her uncle. Peter thinks he can still save them, he can go back in time and change the course of history. And before Claire’s bullets can hit him Peter went back to the day it all started. He killed the one man he thought started it all, exposing posthumans to the world - his brother Nathan.

Heroes season 3
Premieres September 22, 2008

“Heroes” released a lot of promotional videos in the past month, but it’s really just the same long video clip retold, cut, built up and repeated over and over. It gets old after a while. NOT THIS ONE! Oh no.

• Nathan Petrelli dies (autopsied dead) at the hands of his brother.
• Nikki sees herself (or her twin/clone?) cold as dead in a coffin.
• Peter shift-changes right before our eyes, but another prisoner says he really is Peter! What’s really going on?
• And then Peter brings Nathan back to life.
• IS that Ando fighting with Hiro?! 
• Meredith (Claire Bennet’s bio mom) shows off her powers to Noah Bennet.
• Sylar is hurt. Did Claire do it?
• new character Knox knocks Peter off his feet.
• spidey-Mohinder makes out with Maya
• and the clincher, Claire asks Sylar as he looks at her open skull, “Are you gonna eat it?” The villain’s reply? “Eat your brains? Claire that’s disgusting!”

Watch the vid after the cut.
