Heroes News : The Powers That Be

Posted by HeroesFan on 2006/11/3 12:20:12 (980 reads)

Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen has written a great feature on Heroes titled "The Powers That Be". The article contains some spoilers about upcoming episodes, but if you don't mind a glimpse into the future I highly recommend taking the time to read this one.

The piece starts out by talking to Masi Oka

Quote:


So, Masi, what are you thinking about when you squish your eyes and clench your teeth?

''Going to the bathroom,'' jokes Oka. But then he reconsiders. ''Actually, I believe there's a fifth dimensional fact that allows for parallel universes to exist at the same time, in the same location,'' says the Brown-educated 31-year-old, who prior to becoming an actor (he had a recurring role as Franklyn the lab tech on Scrubs) was a full-time special-effects artist at George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic studio (he's especially proud of his work on The Perfect Storm). He also has a 180-plus IQ, so he knows what he's talking about when he uses terms like unique five-tuples to explain Hiro's reality-warping ways. ''Basically,'' he concludes, ''he puts himself in the sixth dimension and comes back into the current reality.''


What did Hayden do to celebrate the success of the show?
Quote:

Panettiere ? a multitasking 17-year-old who's been acting since age 5 and plans to release a pop-rock album next year ? discloses that she celebrated Heroes' full-season pickup by buying herself a Porsche: ''I almost ran over Kanye West this morning!''


Regarding the episode schedule and a little bit of a "Sylar" hint

Quote:

The first half of Heroes' season comes to a close on Dec. 4 (new episodes return in January), and by then, viewers will have learned how most of the characters discovered their superpowers, along with Sylar's identity. (Hint: The Scrabble value of the actor's name exceeds 10 points.) Everyone involved is predictably tight-lipped, though Pasdar does offer this teaser: ''Things get fairly dark in terms of who I might be. It's an amazing ending.''


Could the season be extended?

Quote:

At press time, Kring was still weighing a request by NBC to extend Heroes' 22-episode season by two or three installments.)


At the end of the article the cast and Tim Kring take on five popular theories about the show.

There is much much more, too much to copy here, read it for yourself!
