Villains and Heroes: The resurrection of Kensei bodes ill for Hiro

March

Heroes’s fall return is a long way off, but I’m still intrigued by at least some of the snippets of spoilery info that trickle out onto the Interwebs from time to time.

For starters, SyFyPortal reports that Kenzei will rise from the grave. It was sheer genius for Hiro to plant his friend-turned-nemesis six feet under just as the erstwhile Adam was about to unleash a plague upon humanity. It seemed potentially permanent at the time, but I kept thinking that if he isn’t dead he’s still a threat.

“I believe so, yeah. I hope so. I know I’m going to be in one of the first six so…” (actor David) Anders told SyFy Portal’s Alan Stanley Blair at (the mid-March) Eclipse event in the United Kingdom. “But after that, it’s called ‘Villains,’ and I am an uber-villain.”

Anders revealed that it was a the most frightening experience of his life shooting the scene where he finds himself wedged into a three-sided, satin-lined coffin.

Helping round out the “Villains” story arc that was bumped from mid-Season 2 until the fall is Christine Rose, a.k.a Angela Petrelli. She’s got an awesome power, in the literal sense of the word, but she’s not spilling what it is.

Talking to SyFyPortal at the same event, she said…

“I just decided Nathan was my son with (Linderman) [Malcolm McDowell], and Milo from Arthur (Petrelli). We all met at Woodstock, done acid and became heroes. Hiro is my child with Kaito cause I think there is something there.”

And she speculates that Petrelli and Linderman and Kaito Nakamua go back a long way.

In tenuously related news, Milo Ventimiglia (who plays Peter Petrelli) has a YouTube page under the name Russ181. I just spent some time there checking out the videos and I can honestly say I do not know what’s going on there. His company’s MySpace page doesn’t clear a whole lot up either.

And in even less interesting Heroes news—boy it is a slow news month for this show—the two annoying kids on the show won an award for being child actors.

If Syler finds a way to kill Kensei and take his power. Didn't Hiro put Kensei way back in time?
