Heroes Gets T-Bagged!

As a loyal fan of Heroes I’ve had to endure some terrible episodes, bad writing and tragic excuses for acting over the years, but for some reason I keep coming back. I sometimes feel like that guy who just can’t get enough of rehab. Anyways, NBC dropped this promo a few days ago to reel in sad folks like myself. When Heroes shut down for the season earlier this year, a lot of people (myself included), really felt that the run they had in season 1 had finally run out of steam. They can no longer live off of the phenomenon and in order to survive in the world of television, they are going to need a major refresh. Well, have a look at the promo below for the upcoming season. You’ll notice a lot of returning faces (unfortunately Tim Kring chose to ignore my letter of plea to have Claire Bennett recast), some strange new ones (T-Bag from Prison Break looks like he’ll be playing the role of the villain this season) and a very VERY short shot of Ando finally gettin’ some. Some of the news to come out of the break has been sad to say the least as Bryan Fuller officially left the series to work on a couple of new projects, but it looks like NBC is trying to diffuse the situaiton by adding some new faces to the cast. As mentioned above, T-Bag or Robert Knepper, will be a new regular, as will Californication star Madeline Zima and X-Men alum (currently playing Snake Eyes) Ray Park. Have a look, put your hands together and pray that Volume Five doesn’t shit the bed.
