Slightly better, extended Heroes: Redemption trailer

24 July 2009 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

I imagine I’m going to keep doing this until the proper version is released by NBC. This is the full extended trailer for Heroes: Redemption (aka the start of season four, at least). Obviously, it contains spoilers, but officially sanctioned spoilers. No Mohinder (oh dear?) but lots of Tracy, Noah, Claire, Hiro, Matt and Nathan as well as (spoiler alert) Peter seems to have his full powers back and Sylar’s still in there. And Robert Knepper’s really good.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: Being a bit blurry and watery in a trailer for Heroes: Redemption

Today, Ali Larter is being a bit blurry and shaky in a camcordered trailer for Heroes: Redemption (aka Volume Five/the start of season four), which is due to start on September 21st on NBC in the US. Do I need to point out that there be spoilers? In case you missed it at the end of season three, here’s how she came back.
