Heroes Volume 4 : Fugitives


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

As most of you know last week Kristin at E! Online reported that a Heroes star wanted off the show, but the key was that NBC might not let them out of their contract.

Of course this opened the doors to debate who she was hinting at and why?

Well apparently during the Red Carpet tonight at the Golden Globes, Kristin reported that BOTH Hayden Panettiere and Ali Larter have asked off the show!?

I did not see this myself, but this was sent in via Rebel a reader of the site, if anyone else has seen this or has the actual video, please let us know.

What do you all think!?

Here is what Kristin apparently said:

"I have to tell you, we have some breaking TV news. It seems to me that all of our favorite stars are jumping ship. Okay. Now, we've heard that T.R. Knight on "Grey's Anatomy" has asked out of his contract and maybe leaving at the end of this season.

He's not the only one. Okay. "Heroes" sources are now telling me that one of the two biggest stars. Biggest names on the show, so we're either talking Hayden or...or...Ali Larter will be leaving the show because they've asked off the show. So now NBC has not yet decided if they're going to let them out of it."

Kristen then goes to talk about another actor on another show I don't

know about. Then closes with:

"I hope I can talk some of these TV stars to stay with their shows."

Waits to hear the millions of fans screaming "NO!" to this news....

Oh, nevermind then

I don't want to see Claire go but even I have to admit her story as gone as far as it could.

I don't know why you guys want to see either of them go. I'd much rather have better writing for them then see them gone. As we have seen in the past, both Ali and Hayden are good actresses when given good material.

Also, even if you get rid of them that doesn't mean they won't replace them with characters just as bad... or even worse and they won't even have the advantage of being established on the show.

As long as we don't get any more alejandros I don't care :laugh:

I agree that the writing for them was poor for the last two seasons for their characters, but their usefulness and effectiveness has expired.

Larter has been nothing but the show's slut since day one. She mostly had a use in season one, but two and three were just crap for her character.

Hayden, similarly to Larter, had a use in season one, but in the last two season's, she's had a central role in the grand scheme of things only because Hayden became a better known actress.

Enough is enough, they have served their purpose for the show, and now it's time to move on. Actually, that can be said of several of the cast members, but this is mostly due to the poor writing for the last two seasons. Replacing them with equally useless/annoying characters would only hurt the show even more than the current cast already has.

I agree, the writers have done a really poor job with Larter's character and if I were her I would for sure want off the show. They should've never droped DL and Her. The whole "family of heroes" aspect could have played out well. Instead they bring her back as a f**king long lost sister? Hayden's Claire on the other hand I don't think is two far from reality. There are some more extreme moments with her. Overall though, I think she has reacted pretty much like I would have expected someone 16 to react to finding out she pretty much cant die and on top of that that her father is not only an agent who huts down people just like her but is also a killer and has lied to her most of her life.

As a part of her weekly spoilers post, Kristin at E! Online says that when Heroes returns for Volume 4 Fugitives, Peter will "take" Mohinder's super strength ability to escape a "hairy situation".

Now Kristin uses the word "take", so I have no idea if she means takes the ability literally. Meaning Mohinder will no longer have an ability, but I am assuming this means Peter will just gain the ability by absorbing.

Now what could this "hairy situation" be!? Well we know from previous spoilers that Peter will try to save the Heroes while on the transport plane and that Mohinder is on the plane also. So perhaps that is why and when Peter will absorb the ability!?

Part 5, The Recruit: Truth Within is now online. Seems to be the last of this series. More curiously is which woman might Angela be calling at the very end? Perhaps another key to knowing what Angela's role in this season is, considering we have not heard much about her yet. Could it be Tracy (judging by the long nails) or someone we have yet to meet? It would make sense if it was Tracy since we already got a little scoop earlier suggesting Nathan turns on her and she ends up on the fugitive plane

No its Leona who is Rachels mum, the one who had the ability she couldn't control so she committed suicide

Donald Essex and Perrin Crocker both ride a prison bus down a Tennessee highway. Donald as a guard, Perrin as a prisoner.

When antagonized by a fellow prisoner, Perrin's ability activates on instinct, sending bone spikes in every direction. The spikes kill many of the passengers, including the driver, causing the bus to crash. Miraculously, the only survivor is Donald.

Donald wakes in a hospital, having sustained no injuries. Nathan and agents from the government arrive with questions for Donald...

Easter Egg

Question: Got any good intel on Heroes, specifically Sylar? -- Edward

Ausiello: Zachary Quinto just shot the episode that introduces his real dad, played by John Glover, and he offers this critique: "He was the perfect choice," gushes TV son Zachary Quinto. "The only downside was that we shot our scenes outside in a tarpaulin shack and it was pouring rain for two days, so we were literally slogging through mud. The logistics weren't that great, but the experience was. It traded off in the end."

Question: What are the chances of there being a fourth season of Heroes? -- Tim

Ausiello: Zachary Quinto is cautiously optimistic. "I don't make those decisions," he says. "I'm certainly hopeful. I'd love to be a part of the show for as long as it exists, but I feel like there's so much transition at NBC and in the industry right now that I really don't know. Those decisions are best left to others."

er, just to point out something, whilst speculating on who's gonna be written off the show is great, provide some evidence as least that suggests their disappearance. for instance: claire or peter would be understandable because of their healing powers, however i really hope that it's not a fake death.

Ali Larter would be my first guess though, simply because they could easily bring her back as the third sister (if they do I shall have to cut my wrists.) And despite what some people have said on the forum, her name I believe was the biggest upon the launch of the series, and I believe it was mentioned in several E! Articles as such. I'll try and find the sources.

But if it is Ali then I doubt they're going to bring her back. Because the article from E! doesn't say that a character will be killed, rather that a cast-member is leaving, therefore meaning that not only will the character leave but the actor/tress will not be returning to show. So if it's Ali, thank god, because as I already said, she's just getting annoying.

Otherwise I'd agree, Claire is becoming a bore, and Noah's part, ever since he went "rogue" is also diminishing. Honestly, very few members of the original cast still have roles worth bringing back. Furthermore, the interview with the creators, wherein they stated that the show is "open-ended" is not a good sign for this TV Series. The first season was fantastic. Since, the ratings and views have declined, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets canceled before they even write an ending. It's unfortunate, but that's kinda what happens when you don't plan ahead.

If the series wants to survive, however, I think they should resort to what they HAD originally planned, with a shifting cast. Ok, so the public has really grown to like several cast members, such as Matt and Hiro and even Sylar as an anti-hero, but having a shifting cast doesn't mean that you can't bring back other members. The show has reached a point in time wherein it's no longer about the abilities of the people, rather the lives of the people themselves. There are, apparently, tons of people with abilities in 'their world', and the show could easily re-draft and adopt a whole new line up of characters. It would be, almost, reverting to the original series. Then, as we learn more about the new characters, old characters might be brought back on. The biggest problem right now is that the writers are limiting the script to the original 12-14 characters, and the people that they are writing in are pointless and a waste of time to watch (Maya and Alejandro). It's gotten absurd, and like Smallville before this, I think I'm going to have to stop watching.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
