HEROES-HYPE.COM

Like most Heroes fans I enjoy looking for clues and foreshadowing from each episode which might help shape future episodes. So I thought that I would start a weekly ‘Clues’ segment where I will explore the potential clues from each episode - this will include screencaps and analysis - where I give my own reasoned interpretation and thoughts. Since the new episodes don’t start until Sept. 24, I thought i’d break down the official promo for clues in the meantime:
 

“New Stories Begin” - The opening title of the Season 2 Promo Segment.

Who is this woman? It looks like she is in feudal Japan so it could possibly be a love interest of Kensei..or perhaps Hiro..

Nikki tells Micah “This is our chance at a normal life..”

Nikki goes on to say “I have to do this”, Micah replies “That’s what you always say when you’re about to do something bad”. So it appears that Nikki and Micah have been followed by someone - perhaps the ‘company’? She might be about to let ‘Jessica’ come out in order to protect them from whoever is after them?

Well at least we know than Nathan lives, huh;) Interestingly he seems to have lost the beard that he’s been seen with in some of the other previews. Also does he have a drink problem..has he gone off the rails? Someone seems to have smashed that mirror. Also, mirrors are often symbolic references to internal reflection or soul searching..does Nathan blame himself for Peter’s..disappearance?

Claire at her new school. This dude seems to be implying that he wants to see her powers..and that he has powers to - “You don’t have to hide everything interesting about you”

Claire appears to cut off her toe (why!??) and utters “Nooo Waaay!”. Yes Claire, you can regenerate..didn’t you know!?

This is Kensei - notice the swords which almost appear to kneel before him. No wonder he’s known as “The Sword Saint”.

Mohinder on the phone saying: “They’ll be watching me more closely now”. Who is he speaking to and who will be watching him more closely..those are the questions. If we take Season 1’s narrative into consideration then it is likely that he is speaking to either Matt Parkman or Mr. Bennet and the people who are watching him more closely are ‘the company’. Just a guess.

Matt Parkman seems to be hunting someone down - is he using his powers to do so?

Mr. Bennet still has those Horned-Rimmed!

Sylar lives! Though he seems ‘different’, almost as if he’s in some kind of dream state - notice the sky in the background, almost suggesting that he’s floating. Also he’s speaking to what appears to be a woman with brown hair, saying: “So none of this is real?”.  Intriguing!

Now I don’t know what this says, but for anyone who has been following the Yamagato Fellowship Documentary thing, you may recall Chapter 2 being about the ‘Fire Scrolls’. Could this be one such scroll??

Claire looking very boyish, seemingly asking HRG what would happen if someone in their new town found out about her abilities. This seems to be sign that Claire is tempted to tell her new boyfriend about her powers. Though I could be wrong.

Claire’s new boyfriend looking highly dubious. Can she really trust him..i’m not so sure.

Matt seemingly putting the heat on someone.

Parkman questioning Mrs Petrelli, asking her “Who want’s revenge Mrs Petrelli!?”. Does Mrs Petrelli work for the company..just what does she know? Certainly she’s more capable than was made out for much of Season 1.

Nathan appears to confront Ma Petrelli - notice he still has his beard in this shot.

Claire and her new love interest kiss..but if you ask me they also appear to be floating..or even flying. So, does he also have an ability? Still don’t trust him.

Kensei and Hiro. So Kensei isn’t Asian - it will be interesting to find out why that is. Perhaps he once bent time and space like Hiro..Perhaps this isn’t the original Kensei..who knows?

I think this is new character Maya hugging her brother Alejandro

A quick close-up glimpse of Maya.

Maya get’s startled by something or other. In another promo she can be seen with what appears to be ‘blood’ pouring from her eye’s. What does this tell us about her abilities..or rather..affliction..?

Mohinder seemingly looking for someone - Maya, perhaps? Seeing as the previous clip was of Maya.

Claire looking surprised, with her new love interest watching on in the background. What has she seen?

Kensei getting on his horse.

Hiro watches yet another eclipse..a sign all too ominous. Just what will be activated this time?

Mohinder appears to be giving a lecture - “The fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance”.

A stark contrast to the ‘night-time’ eclipse (so to speak) that we’re so used to seeing in season 1 - Hiro watches a ‘day-time’ eclipse in feudal Japan.
