Heroes Most Pirated Show Two Years in a Row
Here is more proof that Heroes fan base is strong. Yes, of course this also hurts the ratings and perhaps leads to some of the decision making.
However, for the second year in a row Heroes was the most pirated show topping the list for 2009 followed by LOST in second.

New Dawn Olivieri Interview
Thanks to Mark for the heads up and our good friend Natalie for this interview.
As the mysterious Lydia, you are one of the newest cast members in the Heroes family. How do you feel about coming into such a big ensemble show?
If i had really stopped to think about it too much it would have probably been more overwhelming then it was. I was lucky because i joined the show at the very beginning of the new season and ushered in a much needed, well received chapter in Heroes history.
We do not know yet whether Lydia is a good or bad character since most of Samuel’s and the Carnival’s history and motivations are still hidden from the viewers (as of episode 5). Have the writers given you any hindsight into who she is and where she comes from in order to play her?
When I was brought on as Lydia, I had a brief meeting with some of the writers regarding her but not much character direction was given. They expressed their intention of “letting me discover her” so creating Lydia was a collaborative effort. In the original breakdown, it described a “gullible” tattoo girl…this i chose to ignore, No one with all of her insight and knowledge would be “gullible” at least not REALLY;)
We have learned that Lydia’s a mother from the webisodes and that only Edgar seems to know her secret. Do you think she has more surprises down her sleeves?
Sleeves?? lol Lydia rarely sports sleeves, tattoo sleeves maybe. and if she did have them they would be full! Lydia’s powers seem almost mystical in nature; she seems to see the future and makes predictions through the ink used by Samuel on her skin.
Will we get to learn more about her powers this season?
Her powers will become more defined in the episodes coming in the new year.
What was your first reaction upon learning what your character could do?
well, like many of the fans, there was so much that was unanswered. I had so many questions that i had to fill in the blanks myself. As an actor, its part of the job:)
What kind of powers would you, yourself, like to have?
hmm…to heal others
How did you prepare for the role? Did casting tell you that you would be covered with that many tattoos?
they did ask us all at the audition if we were claustrophobic in any way haha. And yes we did know it would involve tattoos. I loved the thought of it all though.
The show is hinting at a romance between your character and bad boy serial killer Sylar. Romances on Heroes have never been successful. If that is the case, how do you think this could bode for Lydia?
I cant say much about this because there will be more to come involving this storyline in the new year. Lydia is a different kind of girl;)

Tim Kring Interview About Upcoming Episodes
NBC’s ‘Heroes’ resumes its fourth season with a two-hour installment airing tonight at a special time, 8/7c. Series creator Tim Kring shared with Fancast a look at these next six episodes, the “strange alliance” that must be formed to (again) save the world, a romantic reunion, and what he finds silly about ‘X-Men’-style showdowns.
Most simply said, what do viewers have to look forward to during these next six episodes?
Our big bad this year is this carnival and what it represents – the whole idea of “Can you live in the real world out in the open?” Samuel’s plan to expose the entire world to these people starts to really crank up and build to a crescendo.
Samuel said that Claire is not the one he’s truly after. How soon does it become evident who he is targeting?
He’s had a complicated relationship with Claire’s father, Noah, and there are things he wants because of that. I think that becomes apparent pretty quickly.
And we’ll also find out what specifically Samuel is looking to avenge?
It’s not so much about what he wants to avenge, but the underlying motive for his slow descent into megalomaniacal insanity is revealed in Episodes 15 and 16 (airing January 11 and 18).
I’ve loved Robert Knepper since ‘Prison Break,’ and he’s been doing a terrific job here.
He’s one of those actors that brings a lot with him. When we first started talking about the part, he tried on different costumes, different looks with makeup and hair, and then he worked on the accent… It was a long, thought-out process to become this character. He also has tremendous chemistry with everybody he is on screen with. It’s like how it was with Jack Coleman and Zach Quinto, where their parts started out not nearly as big as they became but grew because the actor brought so much to it.
What kind of transformation might Claire undergo now that she is embedded at the carnival?
Well, a certain reality is going to set in when she sees that something more nefarious is going on here than she thought. Like with any cult, you get pulled in, but then you hopefully see the reality under the surface. She’s been lured in, and the arc of it now is her figuring out what to do now that she’s there.
Will Peter, in the wake of finally losing Nathan (played by Adrian Pasdar), seek out Claire?
That’s a pretty good analysis, yes. They do share a connection to Nathan as quasi peers, so they’re able to sort of bond over the loss of their brother and father. When those stories start to collide, we have a couple of episodes with the two of them together.
One theory out there is that Peter will round up the heroes for a big showdown against Samuel and the carny folk.
OK, but remember: Samuel has no power unless he is surrounded by other people. So in some ways it’s about getting people away from him as opposed to bringing people towards him.
What’s ahead for Hiro, Ando and Suresh?
Hiro is going to get sidelined by his medical issue, so we are finally going to deal with that in Episode16. His quest is also to find Charlie (played by Jayma Mays, ‘Glee’) – and unfortunately she’s on another show! [Laughs] But we will finally deal with that in the season finale (airing February 8), when Charlie and Hiro are reunited.
Will Sylar serve a definitive purpose during the remainder of this volume?
He re-encounters the carnival, but he’s also on a bit of an existential quest to find out what his life is all about. He was told he would die alone, and that starts to play on him. There is some unexpected stuff between him and Peter in the last two episodes. A strange alliance has to be formed.
You have seemed reluctant since the Season 1 finale to have the heroes unite and act in concert, à la the X-Men. Why is that?
First of all, logistically it becomes very hard to get everybody into one place. It’s a nightmare for shooting, the jigsaw puzzle of it all. Most television tries to avoid more than two people in a scene, for just that reason. It takes a third longer to a shoot a scene with three people, so when you get eight people in a scene, you really start to stretch things. Also, one of the problems with serialized storytelling is that it’s like a giant snowball, and the season finales start to be a lot of “running around.” You try to give everybody a part of the story so you don’t have them all arriving in one place, saying, “OK, you do this, and I’ll do this…” It becomes a little silly when that happens.
