I’m not quite sure exactly when this became available but this is the first time I’m seeing it. NBC has released a trailer for the fourth season and fifth chapter of Heroes, which is titled “Redemption.” As far as I know NBC hasn’t specified whether “Redemption” will span the entire season or just the first half. On the other hand, it appears Season Four will only run 19 episodes rather than 23 or 25, so perhaps a sole chapter would work best.
As always, the following video likely won’t be available to those outside the United States.
My reactions? Prison Break‘s Robert Knepper will make a fantastic villain (if his character is a villain). Claire in college, though? I’m not looking forward to that. How much more whining about wanting to be a normal girl can viewers stand? As for the idea of a merry band of carnival workers who all have abilities, I suppose that could be interesting. Unfortunately, it looks like one of them — the one woman who “grows” tattoos on her body — can tell the past and/or the future.
That’s one of the biggest complaints I’ve had about Heroes. Characters being able to see the future only leads to muddled time lines. And just how many characters have we seen with some sort of prognostication ability? I’m also not sure there’s anyway a storyline involving Sylar revealing himself inside Nathan can be anything but dull. I’ve said it time and time again: Sylar needs to go.
Season Four premieres on Monday, September 21st with a special two-hour episode running from 8:00-10:00PM Eastern.

I’m going to try to keep an open mind about this season of Heroes. I’m still watching for some reason, and I guess that means that I owe them as much. But I’m really hoping the writers/producers took a long look at themselves, trying to find the magic they had in season one. Because ever since the season two premiere, the show hasn’t been the same. Which shouldn’t be surprising, to me, because I didn’t really care for the season one finale.
