Season 4 Last of Heroes?

They've managed to fight off sadistic Sylar for four seasons, but have sagging ratings finally sealed Heroes' fate? Tuesday January 5 marked the last day of filming on Heroes' latest arc - and that may very well turn out to be the final day of filming ever.

"You never know," shrugs the show's Greg Grumberg (Matt Parkman), who worked that solemn day with Ali Larter (Tracy), Hayden Panettiere (Claire) and Jack Coleman (Noah). A wrap party is scheduled for cast and crew on Sunday January 10.

The show had planned to wrap before the holidays but required one additional day of filming. "We were off for some time, so it was so odd to come back for another day," he says.

Before the break, the cast openly acknowledged that it could quite possibly be their final time interacting with each other as their suped-up alter egos should NBC elect not to order an additional season of the struggling series that debuted to great fanfare in 2006. "You say your goodbyes and give gifts, because you really never know," shares the actor. "It was our nineteenth episode - the last of the season. And it was a strong episode, so we'll see."

But is episode 19, set to air February 8, strong enough to serve as the series swan song? "No!," declares Greg emphatically. "It would not serve as an appropriate series finale. To properly wrap up our show, which absolutely has to happen, we have to come back and do some more episodes. Without question."

Clearly, Greg's refusing to throw in the towel. Though he acknowledges that "the ratings have dipped," he points to the show's international success and DVD sales as a possible saving grace. "They make so much money on the show that they've got to finish it off," he says. "People want that and will demand it, which means we'll probably end up doing it."

So what would make for a fitting ending to the show? Greg cracks: "The only hero left standing would be Matt Parkman." Good luck Greg. I fear you're going to need it.

Fortunately, this is a guy who always lands on his feet. He confirmed some exciting news to me that has been the topic of much speculation among sci-fi fans. Greg will indeed be back in the February 2 season premiere of Lost as Seth Norris, the doomed captain of Oceanic flight 815 and the very first victim of the infamous smoke monster. "It's a very cool wrap up that makes me so invested in watching this last season," says Greg. His part, he concedes, is very small. "It's actually a voiceover thing I was able to do in L.A. People are going to like hearing me as the Captain."

Though he wants to keep his dialogue secret, it's safe to assume it will be something along the lines of: "Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy ride."

What do you think? Will there be another Season of Heroes?

An Interview with Greg Grunberg

When we last saw Matt Parkman on Heroes, he had used his psychic powers to help vanquish Sylar. The preview of Vol. 5 suggested that Sylar is already starting to emerge from the body of Nathan Petrelli, despite Parkman's best efforts. As season four, Vol. 5 continues, Sylar lingers on in Parkman's mind, too, said actor Greg Grunberg.


(Warning: Spoilers ahead.)

"When we come back in season four, you see that this transfer of brains or whatever didn't go smoothly, and remnants of Sylar are left behind in me," Grunberg said in an exclusive interview on Aug. 5 in Pasadena, Calif., as part of the Television Critics Association fall press tour. "He's in my subconscious and I can't control him. Then he starts to control me, which is very, very cool."

Sylar's already got Nathan's body. Does he get Parkman's, too? "Well, he's in my head," Grunberg explained. "No one else can see him but me, so he's in scenes with me. It's very cool."

Zachary Quinto continues to play Sylar, in Parkman's vision of Sylar's presence. Grunberg also revealed some of Sylar's dirty deeds. "[He] kidnaps my child to get his body back. It's that kind of stuff, and it's very personal and much more relatable, I think."

That must mean Sylar uses Nathan's body to kidnap Parkman's daughter, right? No, said Grunberg. That's a separate thing while Sylar plays the brain game with Parkman. Don't worry about following the complicated storyline. Grunberg said it all makes sense.

"It's very easy to follow, actually, my storyline," Grunberg said. "It's cool how it's done. I love it because it's more character-based. The show became all about saving the world, and it's very abstract. It's kind of hard to grasp that. What does that mean? It's very spectacular, and it's fun, but then if you do it every week, it doesn't mean anything. And if everybody has powers, it doesn't mean anything. So this year it's kind of getting back to season one, where it's all about the characters just wanting to be real and normal. I don't want this power, I don't use it, and I'm forced to use it because Sylar's doing anything [he can]."

Grunberg has been enjoying the team-up with Quinto so much that he hopes Sylar never gets out of Parkman's head. "I went to the writers, I was talking to them tonight, and I was like, 'Guys, please don't end this. Don't resolve this, because we're having so much fun.' What's cool is that my powers evolve, and I start this year so regretting what I did last year that I have absolutely cut it cold turkey. I refuse to use my powers, and Sylar wants me to, so he's constantly on my shoulder going, 'Use your powers, you p-ssy.' It's great. It's really cool."

Too bad Parkman doesn't have a good angel on his shoulder telling him not to listen to Sylar. "No, that's me, but I'm not strong enough. It's pretty great."

Heroes returns Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Cockroaches are Back in Season 4

Remember that Sylar was related to cockroaches in Season 1? They are back in Season 4. This was revealed in EW.com.

Question: Anything for Heroes lovers? —Charles

Ausiello: Last week Greg Grunberg tweeted the following: “I just read the craziest s–t in a new script of Heroes EVER! What?! No we di’n't! WOW!” The very next day, I saw him at press tour and pressed him deets. “It involves a cockroach,” he elaborated. “And it was incredible.”

I wonder how will they relate those cockroaches in Season 1.
