Less Than a Month till Heroes

There has been a ton of interesting buzz about Heroes recently. Heroes has been one of my favorite television shows. I've been keeping up with the (very interesting) online comic this summer. The one released today has me thinking - what is the deal with Hiro's Dad (Kaito Nakamura)? He is know by street thugs - and scares them away? Sweet! I hope they develop his story more next year. I found the Season 2 preview from ComicCon on YouTube:



Some things I noticed in the trailer:

• Hiro's father is in there - so maybe my wish about him will come true.
• Matt Parkman lives
• Nathan Petrelli lives!
• Sylar is for sure alive - but we kind of already knew that
• Peter Petrelli lives!

Peter and Sylar living was pretty much already a given, from what happened last season. But how did both Nathan and Peter both survive? Here's my theory:

We already know that Peter survived the original version of the explosion. In the new version, the question would be - could he explode, and then fall from miles up, and survive the fall from that high up? If Nathan was still alive - sure. Here is what I would have done (if I was Nathan): fly as high as I could. Tell Peter to give me a few seconds. Release him, and fly as far away as I could. Remember - Nathan can break the sound barrier. Then, fly back underneath the explosion - to stay away from radiation. Give Peter enough time to heal as he fell, while following him as he fell. When he is fully healed, catch him, and land. Then go cut Sylar's head off. I mean - seriously - is anyone ever going to get that this dude won't die unless you cut him into tiny pieces? That may not even work....

The Yamagato Fellowship website (a mock site for Heroes) has an interesting "documentary" on Takezo Kensai, the famous historical Hero that Hiro idolized:

Hana Gitelman's website has also been active recently, suggesting that she somehow survives electronically - maybe on the Internet? They already did that in the X-Files, but it is still a cool concept to explore. Maybe this massacre described in the story has something to do with that new super-villain that Molly was scared of? We'll see.

The Primatech Paper, Corinthian Casino, Activating Evolution, Nathan Petrelli for Congress, and Hiro's blog websites have all be quiet recently. The MySpace accounts for Claire, Nikki/Jessica, and Zach are all inactive (page can't be found). We'll see what new stuff pops up over the next few weeks.

Interesting Lost Teaser Online

The Lost official website has a clip of another station orientation film. It's for a station called "The Orchid." The dude giving the orientation is going by yet another name. But in the film, he does acknowledge that the work on the island is dangerous, and that the Dharma Initiative is being deceptive from time to time. My theories from the clip:

• The whispering people noises are happening in the film, while the Dharma workers are working. They don't seem to care. It must be a regular or expected phenomena to them.
• The 15 rabbit is held by the talking guy, and then another 15 rabbit shows up in the background. They talk about shifting the rabbit, so I am thinking that there has something to do with time travel.
• They want to keep the rabbits away from each other, which reminds me of Back to the Future II (and how Marty McFly was always told to avoid running in to himself).
• The dude that talks on the orientation video is kind of a jerk "behind the scenes" :)
• The Casimir effect he mentions apparently has something to do with levitation and nanotechnology. So, now we have levitation, nanotechnology, smoke monsters, multiplying bunnies, this Jacob person/thing, and purple skies all on Lost island. Maybe they are all on some huge drug trip in reality?
  

So, I am guessing that the whispering noise is something that happens when something is sent through time.
