Today I come fresh from BBC Two's Autumn launch, where us journo types were treated to a world exclusive, never-seen-before, you-will-be-castrated-if-you-secretly-record-this-and-upload-it-to-youtube preview of Heroes season three. As I value my intimate regions quite highly, I'm afraid that what follows is the best I can do. A warning: spoiler-phobes should look away now.

Nathan Petrelli is apparently dead. We see him rushed to hospital, where resuscitation attempts fail. "There was nothing we could do," a doctor tells the family. I don't believe it.


Looks like Elle (Kristen Bell) is going to be spending a bit of time sparring with Sylar this season.


Angela Petrelli introduces us to "Level 5", a housing place for the most dangerous criminals in the world - rapists, arsonists, killers. Presumably this is where the band of Villains escape from.


Matt Parkman is alone in the middle of a desert screaming for help.


New Villain 'The Speedster' steals something from Hiro and quips, "Gotta run."


Is Sylar in league with Angela Petrelli? In one short clip he is seen approaching her from behind and placing his hands on her shoulders.


Linderman is back with a prophecy of doom. "The second coming is at hand," he warns.


And, perhaps the most shocking tease of all: a big bald man, incarcerated in Level 5, shouts: "I'm not who you think I am. I'm Peter Petrelli..."


The third season of Heroes will play out on BBC Two and BBC Three (and BBC HD) from the end of September, with a delay of just eight days on the original US broadcast. The season will comprise two "volumes", each containing 13 and 12 episodes respectively.

Hmm.... that last bit about the bald man saying he's Peter Petrelli has me interested in how this is going to pan out. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Raiden]

Yeah, I hope it will be a shocking revelation, and not something we'll go "meh" afterward.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hmm. I wonder if by ''big" and ''bald" they mean....

Spoiler

Francis Capra's new character Jesse. Maybe he's the real Peter Petrelli and somehow Milo's not. It'd also potentially explain the ''I've always loved you." thing if it's Claire that shoots future Peter.

 

[Koz]

I predict the big, bald guy is either a nutter who thinks he's Peter Petrelli or a liar trying to convince someone else that he is Peter Petrelli. I am prepared for it to be something relatively minor.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Half of those we knew, but the bald guy part is interesting. Maybe he has the ability to switch his essence between bodies...

 

[boydston_14]

I think I have a bit of a theory regarding that.... maybe Peter gets the ability to look like anyone.... and then gets his powers zapped by the virus and is stuck in that form perhaps? Just my two cents but I like Primal Slayer's idea better.

 

[jk_4000m]

The big bald guy thing has blown my mind

 

[Sawyer]

Half of those we knew, but the bald guy part is interesting. Maybe he has the ability to switch his essence between bodies...

Thats what I was thinking. Perhaps someone has the power to switch bodies with people and does so with Peter...

 

[RickO'Connell]

I thought flying man was alive said by the actor himself ?

 

[RonStoppablefan]

Holy Cow this bald guy/Peter thing has me excited.

Maybe its..

Spoiler

Peter switches with Jess. Or maybe Peter gains some new type of power, yah.

Man Peters storyline gets more exciting now with every teaser t:

 

[04nbod]

I thought people would be more interested in Linderman and his prophecy

 

[Sawyer]

I thought people would be more interested in Linderman and his prophecy

Oh, yeah, having McDowell back is awesome. But, the idea of the bald guy as Peter is just so mind-bending.

 

[jk_4000m]

I agree it is mind-bending.
Which is why I cant stop thinking about it.

 

[shadowdog]

Wasn't there speculation about a character who could change the appearance of other people? That might account for big and bald Peter

 

[fu manchu]

hmm....i look forward to seeing that pretty boy looking ugly, hopefully for more than one episode.

but i found this more interesting:

In one short clip he is seen approaching her from behind and placing his hands on her shoulders.

Ms. Petrelli a cougar???

 

[Magneto29]

She's always sounded iffy. I wouldn't be surprised.

As for Peter being old and bald ? Um... I like Milo's face better

 

[RonStoppablefan]

Wasn't there speculation about a character who could change the appearance of other people? That might account for big and bald Peter

Hmm So maybe Peter gains the same power and doesn't mean to use the power getting himself thrown into jail. But I like that other idea of Jess? Maybe having this switching power and switches with Peter. I am fond of a lot of the spoliers, but so far this sounds the most uber awesome t:
It would make an exellent storyline for Peter.

 

[neemer5]

Thats what I was thinking. Perhaps someone has the power to switch bodies with people and does so with Peter...

I was thinking Peter acquired shapeshifting abilities but got stick, but I like the Freaky Friday theory better

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Wasn't there speculation about a character who could change the appearance of other people? That might account for big and bald Peter

Connie Logan's power wears off after a while, so I doubt it would be that, but my mind went straight to the theory that this Jesse is Angela Petrelli's secret third child, and he felt Peter had the position that was rightfully his, thus him saying "I'm Peter Petrelli."

 

[Pluto]

thanx!

 

[The Chairman]

There was a rumor on justjared that Claire was not the only adopted hero. This leads to me believe that

Spoiler

The Peter we've known so far is adopted, and that the bald man is the real Peter, and was locked away at a young age, like Elle, because they feared he'd be too dangerous.

 

[Magneto29]

I don't think so.

Spoiler

They cast Milo because he looks like Adrian. They're obviously supposed to be blood related brothers.

 

[The Chairman]

That doesn't really rule it out. The Petrelli family is pretty crafty. They more than likely found someone who resembled Nathan on purpose if Peter is indeed adopted.

 

[KingOfMars]

I prefer to see peter switch bodies with ma petrelli.
