Summer Sci-Fi: New Heroes Webisodes

While we focus on wrestling a lot around here, our official tagline is “Wrestling, Sci-Fi, and Everything In Between.” Since most televised wrestling hasn’t been hitting the mark lately, it’s time to check out what’s going on in the world of science fiction this summer, starting with the much awaited Heroes miniseries.
Heroes: Going Postal premieres on the Interwebs on Monday, July 14, 2008 at 3pm EST. Yep, that’s 3pm today, just a bit over an hour from now, on NBC’s Heroes Web site.
The first webisode, “A Nifty Trick,” introduces us to a new hero, a mailman named Echo DeMille who discovers he has a deadly sonic power a la Banshee from the X-Men. Additional online episodes featuring Echo DeMille will follow later this month, with “The Houseguest” available on July 21st and “Let’s Talk” on July 28th.

Another character seems to be the last thing the cast-heavy series needs, but fond memories of season one make me willing to give these webisodes a chance.
While this Heroes miniseries isn’t expected to include series favorites like cheerleader Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) or Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), at least one familiar face will put in an appearance: Angela Petrelli, mother to Peter and Nathan and grandmother to Claire.
Heroes: Villains, the third season of Heroes, is scheduled to begin airing with a two-hour episode on Monday, September 22, 2008.
