Heroes Season 2- New Villians, Allies and Character Developments

Heroes Season Two, title "Generations", premiers this fall and the buzz has already started. Season two picks up four months after Peter's "explosion". What will the major conflict be this season? Will more heroes and villains be introduced? How will each character change this season?

Season two of Heroes kicks off September 24th, 2007 on NBC prime time at 9 p.m. This season new heroes and new relationships will be introduced, according to heroes revealed.com. Not only that, but several cast members revealed some inside information about season two during the San Diego ComicCon Convention. Zachary Quinto, the actor who played the villain Sylar from season one, stated that season two, episode one, will "hit the ground running". Zachary Quinto also stated that he would be reprising his role as Sylar, but in a completely different capacity. He also stated that this season the writers will be "shattering expectations". It is my prediction that Sylar will actually be shown in a more positive light this season. It is very possible that the mechanism that forced him to become evil, may have been destroyed and he will return this season as an ally.

Recently the 2007 ComicCon convention was held in California and major buzz surrounded the Heroes cast and creators. Ali Larter who plays Niki Sanders stated that this season the writers have "put characters together that you would least expect" and that there will be a lot of changes for her character this season. Is is possible that Niki will take control of her powers and use them for good instead of evil? Season two of Heroes is supposed to be focusing on many of the characters pasts and their futures. We may learn this season more about Niki's infamous sister and why she developed the dual personality. I believe that Niki's character will grow this season for the love of her son. What character combinations are the writers going to present this season? Is it possible that Niki will be paired with Sylar?

Milo Ventimiglia was also at the 2007 ComicCon convention and he accidentally stated that his character would be returning this season. How could he not? His character is one of the most beloved of the cast, Peter Petrelli. It looks as though Milo has a new look, with a shorter hair cut. This was major buzz at the ComicCon convention. Milo stated that his character had been changed by the events that occurred in the season one finale and he could not return as the same person, somehow he had to change. The question is, what will Peter Petrelli's powers be like when he returns? Is it possible that he could have lost some of his abilities and been altered by the explosion? Or will he return even stronger? There is a possibilty that Peter could have changed back to his former self minus the explosive gene.

Hayden Panetierre who plays Claire Benett, mentioned that this season she will have a love interest. It is possible that another actor will be added to the cast. Will this love interest have special abilities or will he be genetically normal with absolutely no abilities? It is possible that she may develop a love interest with one of the existing Heroes characters. Claires character will still retain her abilities, but this season she might want a more "normal" teenage life. I think we will see her trying to blend into the background and figuring out her place in life as well as reconnecting with her adoptive father. I don't think Nathan Petrelli and Claire will develop a strong bond this season.

This season I believe that Masi Oka or Hiro will play a major role. Season one left him stuck in the middle of a battlefield near Japan, between two groups of warriors as an eclipse darkens the sky. Masi Oka stated that this season his character will meet Takezo, the samurai warrior, his hero and idol. I believe that Hiro will learn to harness his powers and learn to use the Takezo sword from the warrior he idolizes. Hiro will spend much of his time in the past, honing his skills and developing some inner strength and self confidence that he did not have in season one. I think we are all waiting for Hiro to become the skilled warrior that we had glimpsed for a moment in season one. David Anders will be playing the role of Takezo. What is even more interesting about David Anders character is that he is a blond haired, blue eyed, samurai....which is not at all what we would expect. This season Hiro will lose his timid nature and evolve into the strong warrior before season two wraps up.

One of the biggest surprises for season two of Heroes revolves around an addition to the cast. Kristin Bell, formerly of Veronica Mars will be joining the cast. It is unknown what her role will be in season two and it has been rumored that she will be the new villain this season. It would be a nice change of pace to have a female villain, if Slyar turns into an ally of the Heroes.

Season two is quickly approaching and so far most of the secrets are being kept under lock and key. The season premier of Heroes airs on September 24th at 9 p.m. on NBC primetime television. It looks like we might have to wait for the season premier to find out the rest of the secrets.
