OK, a bunch of spoilerific details for the upcoming episodes of Heroes, courtesy of Kristen over at E! Online:

Elle Is Super Kinkay: In ep 8, which flashes back four months, just wait till you see how sadistic our darling Kristen Bell can be as she gleefully zaps and zings Peter. Oh, and FYI, their lips might kinda sorta meet. And oh yeah, I might freak. I mean, Veronica and Jess lip-locking? Hello? That’s the stuff of TV legends! Maya Is Super Bad: And not in a fun Michael Cera of Superbad way—more like a Bill from Kill Bill kinda way. Just wait till you see what she did four months ago! You’ll think her brother is a saint. Nathan Is Super Lucky: You know that creeptastic burned dude Mr. Petrelli keeps seeing in the mirror? Sources confirm to me that’s most definitely Nathan just a few months back, and the reason he looks so good is that (a) Adrian Pasdar is genetically blessed and (b) there’s a cool new “cure” of sorts that could do a whole lotta people some good—including Nathan and, I don’t know, perhaps Isaac and D.L. and Simone and Daddy Suresh, to name a few.

Kensei Is Super Old: 400 years old and he looks that good without a smidge of Botox? No fair! And he might even have picked himself up an Anglo name! You’ll see very soon, and so will Peter, who gets a new bunkmate.A Hero Is Super Dead: Sylar’s gonna kill a Hero. A non-Hero’s gonna kill a non-Hero. And then Sylar’s gonna kill another Hero. Yeah, news flash: The guy’s still ridonkulously evil. Don’t let that shiny new Mylar fool you!

As for the remaining Isaac Mendez paintings that Noah got from his old Ukrainian mentor – here they are:

Well from that we can deduce that the person who shoots Noah (as seen in the earlier painting) is ‘possibly’ Mohinder, seeing as he has a smoking gun in this picture. Although I do have a theory that Noah doesn’t die OR that it is someone who looks like him (Papa Petrelli? Have a look at the ‘elders’ photo..he sure looks like him and could even be alive for all we know. Long shot I know). It also looks like we’ll see a dual between Kensei and Hiro before the ’Generations’ pod is finished (episode 11). Oh and is that Peter in the future? The ‘biohazard’ symbol would suggest so.

More spoilery stuff soon.

James Kyson Lee(Ando) and Noah Gray-Cabey (Micah) have been dropping hints as to what possibly awaits their characters in Season 2 of the hit show.

Kyson reveals says:

“There is going to be a really interesting channel of communication between us. How that’s going to happen, you’ll have to find out on the 24th. But it will be a fascinating way of storytelling. And what happens in one timeline will affect the other,”

Meanwhile Noah let’s us know that:

“Micah is definitely stepping out of his comfort zone..he’s going to be meeting some new people, possibly even family.”

Sounds exciting.
