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.

    • This is about the EU given consumers options, Apple is all about not giving options and locking you into its own services, this hurts Apple far more than it hurts the EU market because it makes Apple products look less appealing by Apple refusing to offer its own service because they have to give options to rivals, the end results are consumers might look at alternatives like Android. It's a game Apple can't really win when there are alternatives and Apple will in time change course on this, until then, let Apple hurt themselves in the EU market.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
