Masi Oka was recently on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and brought a short video clip from the upcoming Chapter 12, “Godsend” episode.

In the “Godsend”, Hiro tries attempts to convince Nathan Patrelli that someone is going to blow up New York City in the near future, and we see a picture of the culprit from one of Isaac’s paintings which is presumably Peter Pratelli, Nathans brother. Watch the clip below:

Jessalyn Gilsig is set to join the cast of NBCs Heroes sometime during season 2. It is unknown at this time what her exact role in the show will be but we do know that she will have some type of power. Many rumors are floating around that she will play Claire’s biological mother, but there is also the possibility that she will play a new hero (Hana Gitelman) who is an Israli soldier that will have the ability to intercept and send electronic messages with her brain. Personally I think thats a pretty wack ability to have. I mean yea she will be more efficient in the work place being able to send email “kudos” with great speed to all of the fellow employees but thats about it..

NBC has recently put up a promo commercial for the upcoming episode of Heroes entitled “Are you on the list?”.  It is a quick glimpse into whats to come in the 2nd half of Heroes season 1.  We left off with apparently Peter Patrelli finding out he himself is the bomb that is destined to blow up NYC.  Im not so sure this is really as it seems though.  Heroes will return in early January and many questions will be answered including this one as well as the introduction of a new invisible man hero.

The 2nd half of Heroes Season 1 is set to return in early January 2007, and NBC is planning a huge marketing push to get even more people interested in the show.

The new promotions being set up by NBC includes a 10,000 tshirt give away to those in attendance for the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelpha Eagles game on Christmas day, and to the fans that manage to get on TV wearing the shirts will receive 100 dollars from NBC. Furthermore, a 13-minute “catch-up” episode, highlighting the characters, their powers and summarising the events of the first half of season 1, will be available to all Netflix’s subscribers.

“Fans are hungry for whatever they can get,” NBCU TV group’s chief marketing officer John Miller said, “but this one is for the people that have heard about it but not gotten into it.” So if your one of the people that have heard good things about the show but were’nt interest in trying to play catch up from the previous 11 episodes, this little 13-minute recap will be the perfect opportunity to get the gist of what is going on in time for the 2nd of half of the Heroes season to start up Janurary 22nd.

From TV Guide, tonites episode of Heroes will be the finale until the show returns early in 2007.  Chapter 11 “Fallout” has the following plot description:

“The heroes struggle to come to terms with the Texas tragedy; more is learned about the nuclear bombing predicted in Isaac’s painting; Matt and Audrey (Clea DuVall) pursue a new lead in their hunt for Sylar; Niki makes a difficult decision, which will allow her to keep her family safe.”

as well as:

“The tragic events in Texas have sad, serious repercussions for many of the “heroes,” their families and friends. Meanwhile, shocking details about the moments leading up to Issac’s (Santiago Cabrera) predicted New York City nuclear bombing are revealed. Later, Issac’s newest painting has fascinating future implications for a hero in crisis. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) takes the first steps along his new path. Matt (Greg Grunberg) and F.B.I. Agent Audrey Hanson (guest star Clea DuVall) pursue a break in the Sylar case. Horrified by Jessica’s recent actions, Niki (Ali Larter) makes a tough decision to protect her family.”

On the January 22nd episode of Herores, a new hero named Claude will be introduced who has the abilit to make himself invisible.

“Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears January 22. He’s been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he’ll give us a different view into this hero world, [Heroes creator Tim] Kring explains. He’s big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter – albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He’ll help Peter learn to use and control his powers.”

What other types of heroes might there be out there still waiting to be introduced to the show. I for one hope there is a silver surfer, and maybe a guy with a skull for a head thats on fire and rides a motorcycle…wait thats a different show…

A few images have been released from the upcoming mini finale of Heroes entitled “Fallout”. While some of them arent very interesting, some are. The images feature Niki Sanders being reunited with her son Micah. Nikki was shown pulling the trigger aimed at her ex-husband D.L. Hawkins, could this mean he is the Hero that dies in this episode?

Further images show Issac, the heroin addict painter drawing some type of dragon. Hopefully this is not a future painting because that would mean some pretty bad luck is about to happen to someone. Nathan and Peter Patrelli are shown in sometime of cement walled room. This could either be a hospital of some time, or a jail cell. Since he was badly injured in the Chapter 10 episode by Sylar while trying to save the cheerleader…and apparently the world.

Check out the images below and let me know what you think about them.

Tonites episode of NBC’s Heroes entitled 6 Months Earlier answers quite a few questions about the show and the heroes.  The title, 6 months earlier, comes from Hiro traveling back in time in order to save Charlie, the waitress,  and we are shown how all of the “heroes” begin to learn about their powers.

It opens with Dr. Suresh meeting up with a man named Gabriel Gray.  Dr. Suresh tells him he is a genetisist and believes he is a part of the solution. He tells him he wants to run some tests on him to confirm his suspicions about him.  During the test, Dr. Suresh tells him he has made a mistake and that he is not the man he is looking for.  Gabriel becomes angry and storm out with the name and phone number of one of the other people Dr. Suresh is looking for.  Gabriel contacts the man named Brian Davis and informs him that his name is Sylar.  Which came from the type of watch he was working on at the time.  Brian Davis shows Sylar that he is telekenetic and can move objects with his mind.  Sylar attacks Brian Davis from behind cuts his head open with a rock sculpture in order to get to his brain and see how he is peforming the telekenetics.  Somehow Sylar is able to figure it out and goes to Dr. Suresh to show him that he can do it.  He tells Dr. Suresh that he will help him in his hunt for the other Heroes he is in search of.

We then see the brown hair girl assistant(Im not sure of her name) being pulled over by Matt (the cop).  She uses her powers of mind control and tells him he would rather be eating a doughnut and suprisingly he seems to agree goes back to his car and drives off.  The Haitian guy is then seen standing there staring at her and takes her to Mr. Bennet (Claires father).

Claire the cheerleader is told she will be getting a spot on the cheerleading team and after getting in an arguement with another cheerleader accidently cuts her hand.  Suresh calls and tells Claires father he wants to talk to him about her.

Nikki is at an AA meeting telling of her past when she sees her father, Hal sittin in the audience.  They have a conversation in which he appolgizes for not being around and says he wants to meet his son in law and grand son, Micha.

Peter Patrellie is the next hero we see and he is having a part to celebrate becoming a Haspas nurse.  Nathan, his brother informs him that he has to prosecute Linderman, who is their fathers biggest client.  On the way home from Peter’s party a car forces Nathan and his wife, Heidi to crash.  Only Nathan flies out of the car to safety while his wife is left in the car to crash.  This is how she ended up in the wheel chair that we saw in earlier episodes.  At the hospital, Peter asks Nathan if there was another car involved because he had a dream of the wreck happening.  Nathan tells him yes and that it was one of Lindermans guys.  To me it looked alot like Mr. Bennet was the man driving the car, but I could be wrong on that.  A few days later is suppose to be the day of the trial for the Patrellie’s father but Nathan informs Peter that their father has died of a heart attack and to be thankful that he died without knowing his sons were about to stab him in the back by prosectuing his client.

Next we see Mr. Bennet talking to the brown hair girl with mind control powers.  She tries to use her powers on him and make him let her go.  He tells her that she has always been able to get what shes wanted, until now, because he is able to say no to her.

Matt the cop, is up again and he is shown preparing to take his detectives test, which we later find out in the show that he fails again, due to his dislexia.

Since Hiro has gone to far back, he decides to stay with Charlie and work at the restaruant in an effort to save her life.  He gives her a Japanese phrase book, and proves to her that he can time travel.  He convinces her she is in danger and offers her a plane ticket to Japan.  She agrees to go, but then later informs Hiro that she has a brain clot and is dying.  Charlie then tells Hiro she loves him and as they are about to kiss, Hiro accidently time travles back to the present day.

Next we find out more about Nikki’s past in wich she is visiting the grave of her dead sister, named Jessica.  Which just happens to be the name of her alter ego.  So this means that her dead sister is the alter ego of Nikki when she becomes violent.  Hal then visits Nikki and her son Micah, but Jessica decides to show up and confronts her father about the abuse he put on her and we find out that Hal choked Jessica and ended up killing her.  Jessica tells him to leave and stay out of Nikki’s life forever.

In the closing scenes we see Mr. Bennet talking to the brown hair girl and he tells her that what he wants her to do for him is to get his daughter Claire off of Dr. Suresh’s list of people to find.

That covers the major points of interest from the show, but we did find out that in next week’s Heroes Mini finale, that one of the Heroes will die.

Which one do you think it is and why?
