We have two great Heroes items today, including news that Robert Knepper has been signed on for the remainder of season 4 as a series regular, and also the season 4 trailer which is very similar to the one shown at Comic Con.
First, Robert Knepper was originally signed for only six episodes, has been cast as a regular, giving Heroes a new baddie to fear. Zachary Quinto (Sylar) also started out on Heroes in a recurring role and was eventually upgraded to series regular. Based on the footage shown so far this was definitely a good decision as Knepper is awesome and the scenes they've shown with him so far are incredible. He has a villaneous presence that can only be rivaled by Sylar himself.
Knepper's character on the show, Samual, is a very charismatic but evil man who recruits people with powers for unknown and mysterious reasons. He is the ringleader of a traveling carnival that features a sort of family for people with abilities.
Also released today was the preview for season 4, the Road to Redemption. This teaser trailer is very similar to what was shown last week at comic con, with a few key scenes being removed, including the lesbian kissing scene we've heard so much about with Clair (Hayden Panettiere). Guess they wanted to saving that piece of obvious ratings gold for sweeps.
And finally below we have a few more videos featuring fan reactions from Comic Con and the forth season of Heroes below. Let us know your thoughts about season 4 and what you hope to see!
Holy crap!nbsp; Robert Knepper is scary!

Well sorry to say it but the Heroes teaser is rank with the stench of Heroes alright. Looks just as bad as the previous three seasons. I started watching Heroes and watched all the way through the seasons, subconciously holding on to some hope it might find some quality somewhere, but it hasn't.nbsp;
nbsp;
It's contrived. It's laughable. And that teaser was just as poorly constructed as most of its story arcs.nbsp;
nbsp;
Sorry to be so negative. But once again a little more of the side of me that wants Heroes to suceed has been crushed. I do admit the villain(s) look cool. It's always the Heroes themselves that bother me.nbsp;
nbsp;
I'll still watch at least the first episode. As a side note, is Claire's love interest that black-haired girl? What barrel did they dig her out of?
