The teasing continues…in the past few hours NBC aired and then made available online two new promotional videos for the next episodes of Heroes.
The first video is no longer available online, the second might become unavailable: is it why, regardless we got only low-quality copies of both trailers, we decided to produce a compilation that includes only the never-seen-before sequences included in those two new videos…because they will shock and spoil you!
To compensate, in part, for the poor quality of those clips
we decided to add to this article 7 still images taken from those two promos:
This sequence was aired blurred (on purpose…),
we tried to zoom-in the image, and…

SERIAL KILLER SYLAR’S RAMPAGE CONTINUES — MALCOLM MCDOWELL AND ERIC ROBERTS GUEST STAR — After “helping” Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) search for more people with special abilities, Sylar’s (guest star Zachary Quinto) rampage continues with two “heroes” being confronted by the stronger-powered serial killer. Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) must factor what he’s learned from Linderman (guest star Malcolm McDowell) into difficult decisions that will shape the future — for him, his family, New York City and the world. As Thompson (guest star Eric Roberts) uses every tool at his disposal to find Claire (Hayden Panettiere), Linderman drafts Jessica (Ali Larter) into his far-reaching plans. Meanwhile, Hiro’s (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) resolve to “save the world” strengthens in the face of a grim reality. Santiago Cabrera, Noah Gray-Cabey, Jack Coleman, Greg Grunberg, and Milo Ventimiglia also star. James Kyson Lee, Missy Peregrym and Cristine Rose also guest star.

HAVING STOLEN THE SWORD AND TELEPORTED FIVE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, HIRO AND ANDO BEAR WITNESS TO A GRIM, HARROWING FUTURE FOR THE “HEROES”– Thrown five years in the future, Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) discover that people with extraordinary abilities are not only widely known about — after the destruction of New York City and the deaths of millions — but are being registered, imprisoned, hunted and even killed as “terrorists.” As the President takes his first step towards a “final solution,” the pair get swept up in what could be the “Heroes” final battle and encounter a range of new and darkly familiar faces. If they survive the experience, can they still get back to the present and save the world? Santiago Cabrera, Jack Coleman, Noah Gray-Cabey, Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Leonard Roberts and Milo Ventimiglia also star.

SciFi.com posted details from season finale. The first-season finale will comprise the last three episodes of the year, so 3 weeks long Heroes Season Finale hype waiting for us.
Tim Kring, creator of NBC’s Heroes, revealed to SCI FI Wire that the first-season finale will comprise the last three episodes of the year, will bring all of the main characters together in New Yorkâ€â€?and will ultimately result in the death of one or more heroes. “The whole thing converges in New York, … and they’re all there, and all of them play a role,” Kring said in an interview at Wizard World in Los Angeles on March 17. “Even though some may feel like they’re less significant to the final event, when you analyze it, each one had to play that role in order for the final event to be solved, and so there really was a kind of destiny quality to them coming together and having each one fulfilling [one thing] and one specific role.”
Kring and company are completing the final draft of the season finale scriptâ€â€?episode number 23, called “How to Stop an Exploding Man”â€â€?which goes into production in a week and is slated to air on May 23. Meanwhile, production has begun on the previous episode, “Landslide,” Kring said.
As for the deaths? All Kring will say is that people die, including main characters. “The thing is, people knew fairly early on [that they might not make it through the season],” Kring said of the cast members. “Everybody, every actor that we’ve spoken to. I mean, … we’ve spoken about this idea, that on this show the story is king and everybody is in service of that story. It’s not a star vehicle. No, the show does not live or die by any one character. And so every actor should realize that at some point their ticket might come up. It’s both sad and exciting at the same time.”
Kring added: “It became very important that if we were going to set up the stakes of a villain and a conspiracy, the stakes would just not be real unless there were some deaths along the way. But the one caveat is, on a show like Heroes, you may not always [stay] dead. And with our ability to go back and forth in time, you may be dead, but you may show up on the show a few more times.”
The season finale will also set up the show for season two, Kring said. “There is a cliffhanger quality to some of the episode, but more in terms of what is the fate of some of our characters, as opposed to what the story is going to be,” he said. “Although we do have a one, I hope, shocking sort of spoiler for what season two is going to be. A premonition of … what we’re calling volume two.” Heroes, which airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, returns with the last new episodes of the season on April 23.
