Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

I'll tag this because some people are staying away from any news...

After news hit that actress Brea Grant would be joining Heroes as a new character named Daphne, a.k.a., the Speedster, EW.com got a chance to speak with Grant about what her character’s dramatic entrance will be like, her superpower, how long she’ll be on the show, and more.

In a whoosh of air, she will appear. Back in May, Heroes fan sites were aflutter over news that actress Brea Grant (most recently seen nearly stealing Landry's heart from Tyra on Friday Night Lights) would be joining the series' third season (premieres Sept. 22) as a new character named Daphne, a.k.a. the Speedster. Grant has just revealed to EW.com what Speedster's dramatic entrance will be like. "Anytime I come into a room, basically you see this wave of air blown on everybody and then I'm just standing there because I'm so fast you can hardly see me when I move," she explains of her superpower. "You meet my character for the first time when I steal something from Hiro that he needs for his quest this season." That doesn't mean, however, that Hiro is the only hero she'll encounter. "Her interest is not specifically with Hiro," Grant says cryptically. "I think that's why she'll run into a lot more people — she's feeling a lot of stuff toward someone else. That's all I can tell you!"

It's been unclear how long Speedster would stay on the show, but Grant discloses that she's currently shooting the sixth episode of the season. "I'll be around for actually quite a bit longer." And will her villainous character remain a baddie? "I start off pretty bad, but there are some times when I have to make choices, you know, you can be worse, you can be better," Grant says. "It's just this whole idea of being a bad guy. You'll see some of your favorite characters have to do some things they don't want to do."

Q&A Reveals Spoilers for Season 3 and Missing Moments from Season 2

- Isaac's Sketchbook will appear again this season. Pay attention to episodes 9-11.

- We will meet another artist that has a similar style as Isaac with a "familiar subject".

- Since Adam is immortal and has similar blodd traits as Claire it is possible for her to become immortal as well, but the same rules may not apply to Peter.

- Alternate ending for Season 2 was to have the virus unleashed on Odessa, TX and have the Heores deal with the fallout and the sity being quarantined.

- DVD will most likely have some additional scenes and storyboards of the first few episodes that were going to be part of Volume 3 (Part 2 of Season 2).

- They will try o get us some unreleased pages of Season 2 Episodes 12-14

- In regards to Peter and revisiting his darkside: ?With great power comes great responsibility.? ?But we also know that ?Absolute power corrupts absolutely.? So basically Peter will find himself torn between these two platitudes.

- Claude is alive

- Episode 3x03, a character with Earthquake power needed to be re-written because it would take too long to shoot for a TV show.

New Season 3 Preview

Some more Q&A

1) We will see the items from the Company "Vault" during real time and in flashbacks. They also mentioned that the Key will play "pretty huge into season 7 mythology." (Season 7!? Not sure if this is a typo or they are planning for 7 seasons!?)

2) Peter does not read Adam's mind, because he believes in goodness, but also because Adam has had 400 years to possibly learn how to stop someone from reading his mind.

3) In regards to healing people with their blood: Peter's power is to "Mimic" powers, but there are limitations to what his blood can do compared to Claire and Adam. the writers ended the answer with: "On the other hand...."

4) This season we will see more of Elle's relationship with Claire

5) Peter and Elle will "kinda" meet again

6) The second part of Season 2 had a plan for Peter to try and find Caitlin (stuck in the future), but this season he has new problems. (So I am assuming that means we will not see Caitlin anytime soon).

7) A fan asked two questions, first was about learning more about Linderman's wife and the other one was about finding out about Nathan's father and the writers said we will learn about one of the two this season.

8) Several character concepts are developed way in advance and it varies on how it is handled with the actors as far as letting them know the plan. Sometimes it is a surprise and other times they tell them the details so the actor can plan and research how to deal with the power.

9) There are some "high-concept" ideas planned for Episodes 3x10/11 that we thought about last season.

10) "Sylar did not absorb Candice?s power. Or Michelle?. Or Betty?s. He will not get her power back when he reboots"

11) In the first hour of the premiere we will learn more about what Sylar does with the brains.

12) In replying to a question about the Helix symbol and the connection to Adam, the writers said that we should look up Fibonacci and Fractals, which is about patterns repeating themselves in nature.

13) In regards to a question about Arthur Patrelli's potential power to control wind and if he was the one to stop the hurricane and if it is connected to Nathan's ability to fly, the writer answered: "You?re on to something? Or you?re on something?"

14) We will see more of Mohinder renaming powers scientifically and see how accurate he gets.

15) The first 5 episodes of Season 3 will be completed before Comic-con and they will bring clips with them to CC!!

sad thing is, its been almost 8 months since the last episode... forgotten almost everything that went on, :( would be nice it they would release the season 2 dvd before season 3 starts, but dont see that ever happening.... ya know, christmas and all

The season premier will have a one hour catch up episode before season three officially starts.

sad thing is, its been almost 8 months since the last episode... forgotten almost everything that went on, :( would be nice it they would release the season 2 dvd before season 3 starts, but dont see that ever happening.... ya know, christmas and all

Season 2 Release Date: Aug 26

Season 3 Premiere Date: Sept 22

So you have basically an entire month to buy S2, and watch all 11 episodes.

Oh and by the way, the prices on this season's DVD sets seem to be dropping, as Heroes is down to $26.99 (well worth it) and Lost is down to $38.99 already. I guess thats one less thing for you to whine about, Jedi.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • 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 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.
