I am – Hercules!! Fearful that NBC might take away our pencils if we reveal too much, we’ll offer mostly hints regarding tonight's "Heroes," cloaked carefully in the text invisible: * The episode, titled “Godsend,” begins with the superimposition “Two Weeks Later” (which puts it just three weeks before Nov. 8, when Manhattan makes like Valencia and goes boom). * As the episode begins, Hiro, Nathan and Peter have all returned to New York, where we learn Hiro’s powers have been diminishing since he failed to rescue his waitress-girlfriend Charlie. Peter, meanwhile, is in a coma, reliving the dream of apocalypse. * It turns out that Syler did not escape PrimaTech Paper following the unpleasantness with Eden. * Claire’s nerd-pal, Zach, isn’t gone for good after all. * Nathan comes to remark that Hiro’s English is much improved. Hiro attributes this to Charlie, who taught him “many things.” * Niki, while in Vegas stir, makes a very interesting discovery about herself. I think. * We do not learn who Jack Bennet reports to, but a plural pronoun is employed. * The shadowy “Linderman” does not yet surface (at least not overtly), but his name comes up a lot. * Peter does not fly, but there are special effects aplenty. * The new Christopher Eccleston character is indeed introduced in this episode. He sports a beard and we don’t meet him till near episode’s end. * SUPER-SPOILER: Hiro meets the dinosaur this week!!!! * And here’s how it ends, spoiler boys: “Who needs God when you got me?” UPDATE!! We just got word from TV Guide's Michael Ausiello that Eric Roberts will join the cast of "Heroes." Will he play "Linderman"? Ausiello has more details here. 9 p.m. Monday. NBC.
