Heroes Fans, Who do you think REBEL is?

[Ginny]

On some Heroes fansites I visit, a few people seem to think that Sylar will join forces with Danko. I hope that doesn't happen, but it could be possible. Personally, I hope he kills him, but I don't see them offing the Danko character so quickly.

[BubblyShell22]

I didn't even think about Niki's sister or Molly. Sounds intriguing.

I seen that. Rumor is

Spoiler:

Sylar joins forces with Danko to go after a shapeshifter, which would make sense, if they are going down the road of FYG scenario. Now, I think the shadow of gray episode or whatever that ep was called, showed just how sly Sylar can be. More than likely, he'll lead Danko to believe he's the one in charge, and once Sylar got all that he could get from Danko, then he'll kill him off.

Tonight is the night! New spoilers!

[quote] Throughout Heroes' "Fugitives" volume, many of the super-powered world savers have been communicating with and taking orders from a mysterious ally named Rebel. This Monday (at 9pm/ET, on NBC), the truth behind that mystery will be revealed. But before that happens, Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) has to babysit a little one seemingly connected to Matt Parkman. We caught up with Oka to get the details on this diapered distraction, what Rebel is really up to, and just when (if it all) Hiro will get his powers back. /QUOTE]

Here is a summary of some of the key moments from the interview;

Spoiler:

1) Matt Jr is an "extraordinary" baby and definitely Matt's baby
2) Hiro will be uncomfortable around Matt Jr. and there will be some comedy with Hiro, Ando and the Matt Jr
3) As previous spoilers indicate we will find out who Rebel is and their connection to Hiro
4) When asked if Rebel is some one new, Oka replied: "It will not be someone completely new"
5) Hiro will definitely get his powers back, but there will be a twist
6) We will see NO more time-traveling
7) Once Hiro has his powers back, Rebel has one "final" mission for both Hiro and Ando. The finale helps wrap up many storylines and Hiro will be helping his fellow Heroes escape and will have to make a "sacrifice in a situation that could be life threatening."

Spoiler:

It's Micah!

Like we all figured!

[Brodie]

****ing called it.

[MrPliggins]

Ok, so it's really no surprise if you know the actors' real names. It was obvious who Rebel was as soon as his real name appeared at the beginning under "guest star". It was also predictable foreshadowing when both Kristen Bell and Brea Grant started to be listed as guest stars.

[Ninjinister]

Well, at least the little summary that comes up when you press the "Info" button on the remote didn't spoil it this time, like it did several times for Lost, listing Walt and Libby in episodes in which the viewer would have otherwise been surprised to see them in, long after their character was written out of the show as a part of the regular cast.

EDIT: Jeez, all this talk about Rebel this and Rebel that and...

Spoiler:

Nobody mentions how utterly sad that last scene with Matt and Daphne was.

[R-iZZy]

I thought that sequence was hella cheesy, but at least the writers are showing nuts by actually killing off a central character. I would've preferred Mohinder, but it's a start. I was losing faith in the writers what with all the plot holes, senseless scenarios and stuffing us with dumb Claire antics. Thank God they're getting their groove back.

I had a feeling Micah was Rebel. I actually predicted this way back when Rebel helped Peter Petrelli and Matt Parkman when they were in the little SWAT team's headquarters. I'm glad he came back more mature, because he was such a little s*** back when he was smaller. Looks like puberty treated him well.

Anyway, I'm glad Heroes is looking to finish a little strong this season.

Oh, and Ando hitting a Shinkuu Hadouken = Greatest scene in Heroes EVAAARRR!!!

That was horribly sad. I'm just glad Mohinder was there with him. Poor Matt, he has been through so much.

The show took some unexpected turns last night. The part that I still don't quite get was

Spoiler:

Baby Matt is the one who helped Hiro get his powers back? Don't get me wrong, I think that whole story last night was great, but if Baby Matt can "turn on" Hiro's powers, does that mean he can "turn off" other's powers?

Comedy with Hiro and Ando?? O_o I'll believe it when I see it. *fires up the DVR*

[Ginny]

Ok, question, does anyone else think that the last few weeks the episodes haven't been the best? Last night's episode was a little better, but it seems that since they revealed Micah as REBEL, things have gone downhill. I don't know, I'm holding out hope for next week, and regardless I'm in until the series finale of the show, but this week I found myself looking way more forward to Chuck than Heroes. So, what does everyone think?

[Ninjinister]

I disagree. Last night's was wrought with turmoil for some of the more despicable characters, that turned out very watchable. Sylar vs. Noah and Matt vs. Danko... using their powers and the opponent's loved ones like that. The thing is, I actually thought

Spoiler:

Noah would have shot his wife.

[Ginny]

You're right, especially the Matt vs. Danko, I really enjoyed that storyline. Last week's episode was like watching paint dry for me though.

As for Noah...

Spoiler:

Yeah, you have a point. Noah wants to take Sylar down too much to have not taken a shot. When that scene began, my first thought was that it was Sylar shape shifted into Noah. Hmmm...

I thought the same thing for a second or two. Last week's ep was kinda lame, but this week's has me intrigued as to what they're currently setting up. I still get ticked that they completely neglect certain developments for several episodes, then have one significant plot point display that one element as if to say, "we didn't forget, we were just pretending we did", like they did with Ando's artificial power. But, I guess that's a forgivable irritant. Still, it seems to me that

Spoiler:

Sylar hadn't given Noah nearly as much stress as he was evidencing.

Or is that just me?

I agree, Micah is a good example, we don't see him for an eon, then he's revealed to be Rebel, and then he disappears again. I'd kind of like to know where he is.

Spoiler:

No I'm with you on that also. I haven't had a chance to read #132 of the graphic novel yet, I'm kind of wondering if it will talk about anything additional that didn't make the show???

This article was mentioned on the 9th Wonder boards this morning. What do you think?

Ando Talks! Heroes Season Finale Secrets Revealed

Spoiler:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/2009...eleb_eo/117759

Los Angeles (E! Online) – We've got scoop on the Heroes finale!

We know some of you will want every detail as soon as possible, but to be fair to those who want to be surprised on May 27, we've posted all the spoilers after the jump.

We could tell all of you this: We got our stuff straight from the mouth of Ando Masahashi, aka actor James Kyson Lee…

All 10 original members from season three will be back for the finale.

"It was fun," Lee said at last night's One World Live event in Hollywood. "I rarely get to see some of the other guys and sometimes I go months without seeing someone like Zach [Quinto] or Milo [Ventimiglia], so it was really nice to be together for a few hours and catch up and goof around a bit."

Was there anything else Lee was willing to spill?

Yup!

"We will have a little surprise in store for you," he said. "Basically, Ando and Hiro's goal is to take down whoever is behind Building 26 and take down the bad guys, and both of us are going to try to combine our powers and see if we can make it happen."

Lee's not done yet.

"Also in the last episode, we're going to give you a little glimpse into Volume 5," he said. "I think tentatively we're calling it Redemption."

Ando and Hiro taking down Building 26? With Matt, maybe, but just the two of them, I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

[gobo]

I think the Coyote Sands story is turning out to be pretty dull. And, I was actually looking forward to this explanation... What does everyone else think?

I think that since we're in the last episodes of the season, this week's "1961" episode and the next episode, "I Am Sylar" are going to be set-ups for the finale, "An Invisible Line". Monday's episode is going to be very Sylar-centric obviously, so I'm pretty intrigued. One thing about Monday's episode that gave me a grin, was when Angela made the comment that whenever she feels lost, whenever she doesn't know what to do she steals socks. That was something that happened in "Genesis" that was never explained, and I thought that was pretty cool. The question is, should a new company be formed? And will Hiro and Ando be the ones to take down Building 26 (which seemed to be the name of the building at Coyote Sands also) or will Danko stop them? I'm getting quite geeked for the finale! LOL!

I don't remember that, but that sure is cool. ^_^

And a valid yet absurd question it is. "I'm Angela Patrelli, and I don't want history to repeat itself. That's why I'm going to make the same decisions I did 48 years ago that turned out so well." I can't help but be amused at the sheer idiocy of that logic.

But, was I the only one to recall that future scenario where Peter finds out Sylar was impersonating Nathan at the end of Monday's ep?

On the Heroes forum I go on they are calling it the "56 episode plot hole"

Really! In some bizarro world that may make sense, but "this time it's a family" just doesn't quite cut it logically. Unless this company learns from the prior company's mistakes. According to that James Kyson Lee interview, Volume 5 might be called "Redemption" so maybe???

YES!!! Remember this showdown from Season 1? (I looked up the quotes to make sure I remembered this right.)

Peter “You’re gonna pay for what you did to Nathan, what you did in his name!”
Sylar “What I did?! When I killed Nathan he had already turned against his own kind”.

Hmmm...

Spoiler:

Supposedly this season there were to be 3 deaths, 2 real, 1 fake. Daphne of course is one real, and Tracy is, I'm guessing, the fake. So, who is #3???
