HEROES is back and its time for redemption! Tonight at 8pm we’re watching the premiere episodes (2 beautiful hours long!) of volume five (Redemption). And during or after the episode, I’m inviting you back here to talk all about it!
And to recap HEROES Season 3, plenty of stuff has happened out of last season’s story. Sylar had turned into a much bigger threat as he acquired more powers, including the ability to change into someone’s identity just by touching that person’s DNA. Now Senator Nathan Petrelli, with government backing and military support, had the great idea to round up everyone with powers into a secret facility and get rid of these “domestic terrorists”. He had almost succeeded if Claire hadn’t rescued her comrades. Oh, and did we tell you that Claire had a pass because she’s a Petrelli, and dad Noah was colluding with the operation? The head of Nathan’s operation – the Hunter, thought he can use Sylar to his advantage and faked Sylar’s death. But in the end, Sylar hunted the heroes down and killed Nathan! Angela wasn’t ready for Nathan to die. So at that time, it seemed like a good idea to have Matt transfer Nathan’s memory into Sylar, transforming the the killer into a senator.
As the heroes are so ready to start their lives anew, to repair broken relationships, go back to the ordinary, and to finally use their powers for good. They bid farewell to what they thought was a dead Sylar and scattered into anonymity. Except… you can’t expect someone’s personally to remain buried forever, and a fissure in Nathan’s memories began to form. Time will tell if the heroes are free, and that time is tonight.
On top of that brewing trouble, there now appears a mysterious other group of powered people who have lived out their powers in the open. They call themselves the Carnival and they are ready to add people into their ranks. Are they evil or anything like the Company? The group is led by a charismatic leader named Samuel, an earthmover in many sense. His inner circle include a henchman speedster who is lethal with a knife, and a tattoo lady.
What happens tonight will determine if the heroes can go back to their lives before all the chaos brought about by the first solar eclipse that turned their worlds upside down.
