Check out this genius promo for the new series of Heroes which was shwon during last night’s Superbowl….

We’ve got such mixed feelings about the upcoming volume of Heroes, entitled Fugitives. Emmy-winning actor Zeljko Ivanek, who starred as Southern-twanged lawyer Ray Fiske in Damages, joins the cast as The Hunter, a ruthless sort of bod hired to track down anyone with special powers and take them into custody. Will the show get back on form? Or are the Heroes a dying breed?
Here are three clips to give you a taster: ClaireBear reveals severe paranoia about Sylar’s immortal tendencies (we can’t help but hope she’s right!); there’s the official NBC promo clip (we like how they give the air date relating solely to SuperBowl Sunday - sort of like a medieval calendar system); and finally some behind-the-scenes shots from the first episode, featuring an incredibly upbeat Hayden Panettiere and Ali Larter. We’re hoping we’ll be equally pleased after we’ve seen it, ladies!
Some people, it seems, have rather too much time on their hands. Possibly the silliest thing we’ve seen on YouTube, er, this week, this is the handiwork of The Fine Brothers, whose previous fine Lost parodies have seen them present the show in the style of The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.
The volume Villains draws to a close with the great Primatech face-off in episode 13, Duel, but did Ben and Gareth think it was awesome or awful? And will they still be watching in 2009?
Take it away, boys!
We may have been studying Heroes for three seasons now, but we have still not managed to master the art of time travel, no matter how much we squint our eyes and scrunch our faces…
So apologies for the vodcast showing up a few days later than usual. This week’s episode, Our Father, is the penultimate one before the end of the Villains volume, and the tension is really mounting…
Take it away, Ben and Gareth!
The latest series of Heroes webisodes kicks off on 15th December. Called The Recruit, the online episodes tell the story of how a number of marines were recruited by The Pinehearst Company and injected with a mysterious serum. Here’s a sneak peek at the first one, starring the ever-delightful Angela Petrelli.
And here’s a glimpse behind the scenes…
We’ll keep you updated on the web series, and hopefully post the latest episodes when/if they’re Youtubed…
This week’s episode of Heroes, The Eclipse Part Two, has really divided critics of the show… Robert Canning at IGN.com reckons ‘from the looks of things, the writers have countless hats hanging by very loose threads’, but Stephen Lackey at mania.com thinks the show is ‘on the road to recovery’…
So what did our TV Spy duo Ben and Gareth make of it? Time to find out… (as always, you can watch the boys in glorious high definition on the tvspy youtube site!)
Yes, TV Spy guys Ben and Gareth are back to wax lyrical on episode 10 of Heroes, the long-awaited Eclipse Part I. You’ll probably not be surprised to learn that the episode has left them with a few questions… What’s up with that eclipse anyway? What does the future hold for Nathan? Will HRG ever stop calling his grown-up daughter Claire-Bear? Actually, that last one’s mine…
Take it away, chaps! (As always, you can watch the duo in high quality on youtube - just select the high quality option once you arrive on the tvspy guys youtube page.]
1. James Van Der Beek looks like he’s a very naughty boy indeed in his guest gig on One Tree Hill.
2. Here’s a sneak peak of next Thursday’s sneak peak of Battlestar Galactica’s concluding season.
3. Life on Mars US has had its first season extended.
4. Some promo shots of Seth Green and Brekin Meyer’s guest roles in Heroes have been released.
5. Lynette’s mum is returning to cause more mayhem for the Desperate Housewives.
6. Three new superheroes are to touch down to deal with the Doomsday aftermath in Smallville.
It’s that time of the week again already, and Ben and Gareth have applied their TV expertise to the latest instalment of Heroes, episode eight - Villains.
The good news is there’s no mention of the tortoise/turtle debacle… the bad news is Ben still has it in for Mohinder…
Don’t forget, if you want to watch our handsome duo in high quality (and hey, who wouldn’t?) just visit the vid at its youtube home, and click on the magic watch in high quality words below the screen.
