Here are the Screencaps and analysis for NBC’s Heroic Monday Promo (I’ve got rid of all the Chuck/Journey Man stuff for added convenience ;)):
Hero meets Kensei (I think) and simply cannot hold in his delight!
Somethings going down in Feudal Japan - Exactly what is anyone’s guess, but it might have something to do with Kensei.
Peter is seemingly being held captive and his captors don’t appear to be too friendly by the looks of that guy behind him. Peter also looks pretty worn out and his eye’s are kinda bloodshot - I guess that’s what ‘going nuclear’ will do to you..
It looks like Peter is in somekind of cell or holding room and someone or something is approaching him - the ‘Boogieman’ perhaps? Though it’s probably just him about to shield his eyes from the light as someone opens the door or something boring like that.
The now iconic shot of Sylar on the rooftops near the end of Season 1. But why choose to use ‘this’ particular shot? - the moment from when he was perhaps at his most powerful..is the suggestion therefore that when we first meet him in Season 2 he will be power-less? Also they show this right after showing Peter..it will be worth seeing whether there is any relevance in this. Or perhaps I’m putting too much faith in the editing skills of the VT guy?..
Hiro says “YATTA!”. Not sure why - but notice Kensei(?) behind him..he appears to fall off his horse!?
Claire’s kiss - seen in the other promos.
I found this interesting - In this promo (A) he looks angry..almost as if someone has gotten the better of him..which contrasts greatly to the clip of him in the other promo (B), where he is calm and relaxed..almost as if he is in a dream state. My guess is that when we first meet Sylar in Season 2 it will be inside his dream (B) - I also think that he has lost his powers..tho i’m sure he’ll get them back (but at what price?). Just a guess..perhaps you think differently?
Hayden doing her thang.
This must be Hiro landing in Feudal Japan - though it’s clear that they used a ’prop dummy’ to shoot this scene (look at the arms..they’re bird-like!)
Mohinder looking for someone (as seen in other promos)
It looks like Peter isn’t the only one being held captive. Not sure who this girl is, but I bet she has powers. Anyway, they seem to be locked in a room of somesort, overseeing the people who have captured them, perhaps?
Hiro running up to Kensei saying “I’ve come from the future” - which I find quite ironic actually..so like, we now have TWO Future Hiro’s. Anyway, Kensei appears to stop to listen to him, but the fact that he was walking away in the first place suggests that he either doesn’t initially believe Hiro (is from the future)..or that he doesn’t care.
Claire cutting off her toe(?) again..
Ali looking all beautiful..though I would’ve preferred an actual episode clip!
And so the Heroes part of this promo ends where it began..with Hiro in feudal Japan either running towards something or running away from those who appear to be aiming arrows at him.
OK, one more, just because it’s such an awesome image - Amazing what a red background can do!
