Love it? Hate it? Chapter Twelve - Godsend

[superhippie2000]

Episode 1.12: This episode will feature two possibly new recurring characters Aron Malsky, an accountant-type man who works for a powerful man and has no problem doing dirty work, and an overworked and not really successful public defender. FBI agents are investigating several murders that have occurred under mysterious circumstances. An athletic prison guard gets beaten up by an inmate. A SWAT team invades the offices of a large company. A new recurring character will be introduced in episode 12. He is an intense and wise mentor with an edge named Claude. He is said to be an imposing man with a gruff exterior. Supposedly, someone we will grow to love

Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears Jan. 22. "He's been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he'll give us a different view into this hero world," [Tim] Kring explains. "He's big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter — albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He'll help Peter learn to use and control his powers."

Whoa, whoa, whoa..... for many years??? Interesting, considering everyone else has only had their powers for about 6 months..... very interesting.

12/18 - When I was on the set this week, I noticed a big, fancy prison set, and Masi told me we’d find out what it’s for in episode 12 or 13. It did not look like the cell that Peter was in, so I’m intrigued! Source: Kristin on E!Online [Note: This spoiler could be for episode 13.]

[Superboy2]

So episode 12 airs jan 22. Cool.

12/30 - Bryan Fuller, co-Executive Producer/Writer, revealed in an interview that episode 12 would feature the Haitian and some crazy effects. The episode's first minutes are filled with OMG moments.

12/31 - Tim Kring reveals: Ted disappeared at the end of Episode Nine and doesn’t show up again until 12. He breaks out. He’s abducted and then he breaks out. He’s hell bent on finding out what happened to him. Ted is a really a fun character, but we drop him for several episodes while he’s out there in the wind.

oo im so excited for this episode, can't wait for those OMG moments

[chrisxs5]

I think it would be cool for Peter to be walking down the street and just turn invisible. Standing there and all of a suden just be completely see thru. To me that would really cool.

[ProdigalSon1979]

I can't wait. This show is at the top of its game. It's lost mixed with xmen and its what *ahem* smallville used to be.

I'm fairly certain most fans have seen the previews already, but since I'm new here - thought I'd add a link to my LJ post where I've compiled all the Ep 12 (and beyond) sneak previews and clips thus far.

Enjoy!

[chrisxs5]

I actually missed all that and appreciate the chancew to catch them, thanks.

FOLLOWING PAINFUL REVELATIONS AND SHOCKING CHANGES, MANY "HEROES" STRUGGLE TO MOVE FORWARD AS A NEW HERO (GUEST STAR CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON) IS REVEALED -- Picking up two weeks after recent events, Nathan's (Adrian Pasdar) determination to save a comatose Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) forces him to turn to Simone (Tawny Cypress) for help. Isaac's (Santiago Cabrera) puzzling "Hiro vs. T-Rex" painting inspires Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (guest star James Kyson Lee) to search for the pictured samurai sword. Jessica (Ali Larter) struggles against Niki's decision to turn herself into police. With his associate Eden dead and Matt (Greg Grunberg) on his heels, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) tries to focus on his orders regarding Sylar (guest star Zachary Quinto). After being offered a choice by the Haitian (guest star Jimmy Jean-Louis), Claire (Hayden Panettiere) struggles with changes her decision has wrought. Taking up his father's quest, Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) attempts to share information about who is "on the list" of people with special abilities and the threats to their lives. Meanwhile, a new hero (guest star Christopher Eccleston) makes a shocking debut. Leonard Roberts and Noah Gray-Cabey also star. Thomas Dekker, Clea DuVall, Lisa Lackey and Cristine Rose guest star.

I can't wait for this episode.

I think it is a great move by the TPTB to bring in Christopher Eccleston into the show. I don't know if any of you saw him in Doctor Who, but he was brilliant in that. I think C. Eccleston has wanted to join a US show for a while now as he was rumoured to be in an episode of Smallville Season 5 but as we know that never happened.

He was in the film 28 Days Later if anyone wanted to know.

I wonder what speaking accent he will have as he does have a really strong Northern UK accent.

[lostinspace]

I adored Chris as the Ninth Doctor. He really revived the franchise and I wished he stuck around longer though his farewell scenes/eps were done well.

As for his Northern accent, heck, bring it on! I love the show's diversity, and even the somewhat exaggerated Japanese and Indian speech that Masi (Oka) and Sendhil (Mohinder) use.

Looking forward to "seeing" Doctor Claude on Jan 22. He'll whip Peter into shape, I hope!

Ausiello watched Ep 12 Godsend in advance, and released hints about the ep as well as what to expect for the Feb sweeps and beyond, based on his interview with Tim Kring.

Full article from this link: http://community.tvguide.com/forum.j...umID=700000049

My guesses below:

For the rest of 2007:
- Claire's bio dad will be revealed (big shocker) in Feb (I'm thinking Linderman or ogod, Papa Petrelli?!)
- The upcoming major character death will be someone in the first few mins of Genesis (most likely Simone or Mohinder - I checked the first 5 mins - b/c Peter is still around... and hopefully, Nathan and HRG will be too!)
- A future episode will feature a flashback to Claire's adoption
- Random comments: Sylar's motivations, the issue with Zach (Thomas Dekker), Hiro finds love again in S2, and .... Milo's bangs will go after S1! (Half the fandom cheers while the other half cries at this)

For Ep 12:
* A female character is written off (possibly forever).
Either Jessica or Niki? (That would go with those scenes of her in a strait jacket getting the "needle")
* Hiro has a run-in with a T-Rex.
... in the museum. Masi threw us a lot of curve balls there.
* A major scene from the pilot gets reenacted.
Zach filming Claire's suicide attempts?
* Christopher Eccleston makes his debut.
* An estranged couple patches things up.
Isaac and Simone? Matt and Audrey?
* A hero's powers begin to diminish.
Hiro (from the AICN report)
* There's an unexpected (and pretty frakkin' hilarious) reunion between two heroes.
Hiro and Nathan (from Leno's sneak preview clip)
