    I'm a little disappointed they put his capture in the GN though. I'd like to have seen that live on TV.

    They will show that.......
    but I will bet they don't show the one where Sylar was trying to escape and the blond FBI agent shot someone else on accident.

    I like the GN they add a lot to the story.

    If you are right, then reading the novels is a must for any Heroes fan.

    Heroes kicks it up a notch

    Show creator Tim Kring pulls out stops in plan to fend off 24.
    <em>Heroes</em>

    Heroes

    This January, titans will clash--NBC's new hit, Heroes, will go up against Fox's 24 on Monday nights. In an effort to keep viewers tuned in, Heroes creator Tim Kring has a few tricks up his sleeve.

    Kring says that, as TV ads have promised, one of the heroes will die.

    "We originally intended the Grim Reaper to come sooner and more often. In fact, we started out with a couple of the heroes already on the chopping block," Kring tells TV Guide this week. "Every actor and character is working so well that it's been hard to let anyone go. Still, killing this [character] will generate a tremendous amount of story."

    Kring will also soon reveal just who, or what, is responsible for the nuclear explosion that levels New York in the near future. The possibilities will leave fans stunned.

    "We've introduced Sprague [Matthew John Armstrong], who is radioactive and seems to be getting worse," he continues. "But we'll posit another theory that it's Peter [Milo Ventimiglia]. He's having so much trouble absorbing the powers around him that he goes into a coma."

    The storyline of Claire's father, Mr. Bennett--known as H.R.G. for the horn-rimmed glasses he wears--will continue, with an unusual twist. Kring says one of the Heroes will begin working for him.

    "[Someone] will be seduced into the web of horn-rimmed glasses," Kring tells the magazine. "We're keeping things ambiguous with H.R.G. There's a lot of uncertainty as to just how bad he really is, or where his allegiance really lies. He seems to be a very loving father, so the audience should feel torn about him."

    Heroes' last new episode until January airs tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC. The series returns January 22. Fox's 24 premieres a week before that.

    Aintitcoolnews just posted some spoilers about the next episode:

    LINK

    Click the button to see:
    “Heroes” returns with a typically engrossing installment on Jan. 22, and Ain’t It Cool has already gotten its hot little hands on it. Fearful that NBC might take away our pencils if we reveal too much this far in advance, we offer here just a few hints of what's to come, cloaked carefully in the text invisible:

    * The episode, titled “Godsend,” begins with the superimposition “Two Weeks Later” (which puts it just three weeks before Nov. 8, when Manhattan goes boom).

    * As the episode begins, Hiro, Nathan and Peter have all returned to New York, where we learn Hiro’s powers have been diminishing since he failed to rescue his waitress-girlfriend Charlie. Peter, meanwhile, is in a coma, reliving the dream of apocalypse.

    * It turns out that Syler did not escape PrimaTech Paper following the unpleasantness with Eden.

    * Claire’s nerd-pal, Zach, isn’t gone for good after all.

    * Nathan comes to remark that Hiro’s English is much improved. Hiro attributes this to Charlie, who taught him “many things.”

    * Niki, while in Vegas stir, makes a very interesting discovery about herself. I think.

    * We do not learn to whom Jack Bennet reports, but a plural pronoun is employed.

    * The shadowy “Linderman” does not yet surface (at least not overtly), but the name “Linderman” comes up a lot.

    * Peter does not fly, but there are special effects aplenty.

    * The new Christopher Eccleston character is indeed introduced in this episode. He sports a beard and we don’t meet him till near episode’s end.

    * And here’s how it ends, spoiler boys: “Who needs God when you got me?”

    9 p.m. 13 days from now. NBC.

    Really? That sucks big time it is going to compete against 24. I have a Tivo but it only records one show at a time. I think Heroes is gonna drop from my schedule due to this, because I really can't stand to watch live tv anymore.

    I guess I'll have to download the shows from torrents from now on.

    Unless something has drastically changed, I have no problem ditching 24 for Heroes. 24 has become a bad caricature of itself in the last two seasons, keeping things completely within the box, formulaic, and near-soap level writing. Last year was a film student's thesis on shark-jumping. I called it the same night as the finale that they would open this season by explaining away the China cliffhanger in the opening ten minutes - now looky, looky. It's a trainwreck. It's still watchable in the same way as a run-of-the-mill Michael Bay summer movie, but it peaked several years ago. It's like the Dave Matthews Band or Bon Jovi of television.
