Heroes Returns, More Rad Than Ever, Say Stars

When NBC ’s Heroes returns afterward this month , expect the good season since season one , consort to starsMasi OkaandHayden Panettiere . Just do n’t expect to see too much Ando / Hiro bromance , and not because of Hiro ’s terminal illness .

Talking to reporters this morning , Oka and Panettiere talked about the upcoming 4th season of the show . Oka said that the cast of characters and gang of the show are aware of vital reactions to the show ’s 2d and third time of year , but that that ’s made the show better for its return :

It ’s hard not to ride the high and the low of the show . Without a doubt , season one was definitely lightning in a bottleful where we had something special . Season two and time of year three , it was toilsome to conform to the outlook , but season four , there is some sentience that our backs may be a little bit against the wall , but because of that , we ’re creatively swinging for the fence . There ’re so many bold option and risk being made , there ’s a lot of creative freedom in some sense because of that . I ’m really really worked up about this season . I would in all probability say that this is as pet a season … as time of year one .

Part of the reason for that , Oka go on to explain , is the shorter length of season four :

[ A short season is ] actually fantastic … I think 25 episode stretches out a plot line that should ’ve been compressed … That think of you dilute it , you stretch the plot line and make it makeweight , and that last episode is n’t run low to be as strong as it should be . Having 19 just allows you to be creatively tight , make every installment so packed with story , fictitious character developing , action , all that , and ultimately it makes a near show .

Both Panettiere and Oka ’s characters will be dealing with more down - to - ground job this class than former end of the human race scenario ; Claire , Panettiere explained , will be dealing with the whole new world that is college :

[ My character is ] in college and dealing with a new best acquaintance and roomie . We have a very interesting human relationship together , but she ’s really the first person that she ’s been able to let in on her enigma and someone who ’s really a confidente , but that ’s a very delicate equilibrium that can easy come asunder . One little stumble and her dad will bring Rene the Haitian in to wipe their memory board and then that ’ll be that , and she ’s well-chosen that she ’s semi - charm up to that normal life she ’s been chasing . Where on the dot are we going to go ? I think there ’s going to be some manipulation and some really fun stuff .

Hiro , however , has less fun stuff ahead , consider that whole “ final sickness ” thing he ’s hold up through – which , Oka unwrap , is the result of freeze time while keeping more than just himself able-bodied to move about , an account that was cut from the goal of the third time of year – but , as Panettiere herself expect , can anyone really imagine a Heroes without Hiro ? turn out , Oka can :

I think it would be a very bold move . I do n’t think anything ’s been set in endocarp yet [ about whether or not Hiro will actually die ] . We really do n’t screw which direction they ’re going to take it … Whatever gets decided , I desire to make indisputable that it ’s something that wo n’t betray the audience . In that we ’re asking them to take this really emotional and angelic ride with Hiro , so we do n’t just want to pull the rug and say , oop ! [ The sickness ] is not there ! Whatever upshot we add up up with , we think it should offer some poetical justice to the plot line … I desire to ensure we do n’t cheat death , like we have in the past and not give it the weight that is meant to be .

It ’s an excited and cherubic drive that Hiro will be undertaking without such stuffy contact lens with sidekick Ando , however ; Oka said that the bromance between the two will be feign by Ando splice Hiro ’s babe in the first installment of the new time of year , something that add up as a surprisal to Panettiere , who then promised that she really did translate the hand she was hold . Of naturally , peradventure she was just waitress to see the sequence herself :

Because I was work so much last season , I Tivoed all the episodes so I could watch them back to back to back , and I could not put my remote down . “ Just one more episode ! Please ! ” And this is a show that I ’m on , and I do n’t generally like to watch myself . But it ’s exciting , and it ’s smart , and I do n’t recall it diminish the audience , and I recall it ’s just one of those rad shows .

She then checked herself , and asked , “ Did I really just say that ? Did I really just say ‘ radian show ‘ ? ”
