Episode 3x01: "The Second Coming"

September 22nd 2008

--

So I thought as we aren't decided whether its Season 2 or Season 3 that Volume 3 is gonna retun with why not open a new thread and what better then some gossip from the Jules Verne 2007 Festival where they showed a preview of Villains and heres what went down...

SYLAR, and lots of him. It's hard to describe exactly what we were shown--most of it must have been a dream sequence or future-jump scenario because everyone was dead. The bodies of the main cast were littered around what looked like a trashed Company prison. I can only remember Claire (dressed as a cheerleader) and Matt's bodies clearly, but it was pretty grotesque (yay! Not a lot of that this season).

Apparently there will be the equivalent of "Seven Twelve Sylars running around." It sounds like seven killers with abilities, locked up by The Company, have escaped. The only one prominently featured was a lithe black man who seemed to have preternatural speed--and used that to rip a cop's heart out of his chest (or did something with it that killed the guy because he was very much dead afterwards). If I remember correctly all the other killers were just shadows in the asylum's hallway. IMO it looks like Sylar may be the one to break these people out, since he is seen killing at least three people for their abilities... but perhaps he does so unintentionally, who knows. The "Seven Twelve Sylars" line is directly from the trailer and I don't think he'd invite that kind of competition. He probably breaks into the Company building wanting revenge and discovers they have a bunch of special people locked up... hey, buffet!

It appears Sylar is caught by the Company again (he was tied down with a tube going into his nose). He's seen verbally toying with Elle while he's laying on a table as well as when he's upright and dressed normally, though the context was all over the place so who knows which comes first. They have a confrontation. The way it was edited implied--to me, at least--that he kills her, but that could have been within the context of the dream sequence/time-jump. Probably so.

The BEST part was a a shot of Angela Petrelli in the asylum... and then hands coming up around her shoulders. The person behind her steps forward, and it's Sylar. Some of the other peeps in my party were taking that as confirmation that she's Teh Ev0l, but I figure that could just as well be her last minutes alive. There was an awful lot of her in the trailer too, actually, but she didn't look pleased by what was going on.

To see a bit of that for yourself heres a link.

OMG WTF Sylar and Angela Petrelli!!!

wow, it was hard to make anything out.

but how do they have anything even made? I thought the WGA strike had postponed their filming?

No they started filming more episodes before the strike they didn't have a full episode to show so they just took clips from part completed episodes it would seem plus why start Volume 3 when its gonna interrupted.

The link is in french. :s

The text is the video isn't I don't think...

Another rundown from the episode...

First off: This was thrown together very quickly by Tim and Jeph and snuck out of the studio--supposedly. We were told no video tape or pictures but they say we couldn't talk about it. So, hoping I won't get killed for this..

Heroes Clips: THEY WERE AWWWESOMMMMME! Big Big Action!

A bunch of clips--I believe--from the next episode (or next couple). We were shown the clips only once and they were fast and furious.

The Wrath of Sylar"Villians" Heroes vol 3

It doesn't appear to be a Legion of Doom (at the moment) so much as Sylar unleashing HELL! He frees all other Sylar-like lunatics upon the world. A beaten up HRG says, "Its like having twelve SYLARS lose in the world!" (For my fellow comics geeks, its like Joker opening up all the dungeons of Arkham Asylum and saying "Go play!")

The halls of the Company looks ravaged and ripped apart (not blown up). The suggestion is utter chaos!

Lookout Mama Petrelli! (who looks like she's taken the reigns there) and Elle appear to be the main targets (both could survive) and, Sylar seemed to be taking particularly bloody enjoyment in punishing Elle.

Matt is also at the Company and I don't know if he is killed or injured, but he doesn't look at all well.

I think we saw the "Knox" character punch his arm through a Police Car and into a cop's face and through his chest.

I don't remeember seeing Adam or Maya or any of the other characters not all ready mentioned.

There are some truly "Hellraiser" like moments in the trailer I saw.

I hope others who were there last night will post to fill in what I can't remember. I'll PM them later.

By reading some of the post in the livejournal post I remembered some things.

I don't know if any of it is a dream sequence.

Sylar was at one point strapped down on a table.

But later Elle was later the one flat on her back, clearly being tortured by Sylar:

dialogue:

Sylar:...of course, I'm a psychopathic killer.

Elle: It takes one to know one.

The last shot is Sylar coming up behind Angela Petrelli

I don't remember seeing bodies of the main cast all over the place as another poster posted.

I do remember a silohuettes of either Heroes (one looked like Claire, one like Niki) or Villians

Word Ballon has this great interview with Jeff Loeb and Jesse Alexander. It's funny and informative and not really spoilers, but great insite and I agree (So far) in all they have said.

Here is what Jesse said about Angela's power:

"Angela?s power has been established in the show and it?s there?s for hardcore people if they were to look at the show and look at peter and think about him and what he can do and they could probably figure out what Angela?s power might be."

Why would we have to guess when they should have shown it already. I doubt her power is the same as Peter's.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
