This post contains spoilers from the season premiere of Heroes.Monday's two-hour season premiere of Heroes ended with a super twist: The Petrelli boys have a new brother, and it's none other than power-robbing supervillain Sylar. The shocking revelation was made by Cristine Rose's Angela Petrelli in the premiere's closing moments. In a recent interview with our own Matt Mitovich, Rose revealed that another shocking shoe will drop in Episode 3. "It really has a double punch," she said. "The revelation that he's my son is just the beginning."Rose said her scene with Sylar was originally planned for Episode 13 of Season 2, when she was only meant to be his mentor. "They wouldn't tell me until I actually read it, but they had been hinting at this big surprise," she said. "In the interim they added the fact that he was indeed my son, and we reshot parts of it."So should we expect Sylar to pick out flowers and Mother's Day cards soon? Don't hold your breath.

Episode Recap: "Four Months Ago"Bonsoir mes amis! Leah Friedman (Friday Night Lights, among other blogs) in for Casey tonight, and I figured I'd stick with the Montréal theme. I'm thrilled to be filling in for her for the second in what will hopefully become a series of great Heroes episodes. We all know about the griping (and yes, I've done my own fair share of it this fall) about how the season started out, but between last week and this week, I'm hoping we can all agree that the show is back on track. It was certainly a subtle episode by Heroes standards; more along the lines of last season's "Company Man" than anything else, and as a character study of the Petrellis, Elle and the Sanders family, it worked well — most of the time.First off, thank you Tim Kring for finally revealing just how in the hell Peter ended up in Ireland. We already knew that Nathan saved New York from Peter, but in dueling bouts of self-sacrifice, Peter rescued a falling, burning Nathan and deli...

It's a Heroes whodunit! Mega-mogul Kaito Nakamura (George Takei) was murdered in last night's season premiere by a mysterious hooded figure who seems intent on picking off the show's older generation. Angela Petrelli, the ice-queen matriarch played by Cristine Rose, has already received a death card hinting that she's next — so, with the clock ticking, we quickly grabbed an interview with the actress!TVGuide.com: How scared are you these days?Cristine Rose: I'm haaaaa-ting this! [Laughs] On my chair on the set, they're now putting my name on with tape! It's so sad. And in small letters down in the corner it says, "She's going to die!" We have a "wall of death" at the studio, with pictures of all the actors who've been killed off, and I am staking out my 5 inches now! But you know w
