That beign said, a lot of people are banking on Nathan with the amnesia (He survived, but landed somewhere where no one knows him, and he can't remember anything!) But I can't help but recall that there's someone whose power it is to erase memories ...

Good point, and he seems to do whatever Mama Petrelli wants him to do.

Ausiello is confirming that Nathan and Peter are not dead:

Question: The Heroes finale was awesome, but I'm a little worried about Peter and Nathan. Please tell me they are coming back next year.— Renee

Ausiello: (Major spoiler alert) They'll both be back next season.

(Not much of a surprise, given the offscreenness of their deaths, but good to know anyway.)

But are they alive, or will just be back as characters?

No idea - he just says they'll be back.

Someone's theory about "Lost" - which may or may not be a spoiler. Since it just turned up on Twop from a poster who "just tuned in", it may be legit. Who knows?

he show last night had me thinking all day about it. I finally think I've figured the whole thing out.

The "Lost" Island is based on the "Many Worlds Interpretation" of quantum physics. This says history is a branching tree such that all possible events happen and unfold--although not in the same world-line. (For readers of science fiction I don't have to explain--it's a staple, hell practically a cliche by now.) But it is an excepted interpretation of quantum events. (The math is fucking scary....I won't even go there.)

For example, this morning instead of going to the diner like I did, I instead went to Starbucks, got a mocha then walked outside and got hit by a bus and killed. Both things happened although not in the same world-line.

The Island exists in a realm where many world-lines co-exist and overlap and do all sorts of strange things. For example Locke, when he gets to the Island, is not paralyzed anymore. He jumped to a world-line where he was never paralyzed. He begins to realize this and how to manipulate it, which makes him special to the Others (of whom Ben and Patchy McPatchpatch have the ability to jump between world-lines.)

When the Losties leave the Island and got back to the world, Jack starts to realize that they've arrived at a different world-line, what with his dead dad doing surgery upstairs. He realizes they have to go back and get to a different world-line.

This explains Patchy McPatchpatch's ability to survive death: in one world he gets fried after going through the fence. He just jumps to another world-line where the fence was turned off and goes on his merry way.

The smoke monster and Jacob are perhaps the blurring of many world-lines into one place: reality gets fuzzy.

This explains many things. Remember in the beginning when the pilot was pulled out of the plane? Perhaps a dinosaur from a world-line where the dinosaurs were never made extinct and still roam the earth materialized onto the Island and perhaps disappeared into another world-line.

This is my theory and I'm sticking to it. (I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, so apologies if they have.)

Heroes casting call spoilers:

* The yet-to-be-titled Season 2 premiere will introduce new series regular Maya, a Hispanic woman in her mid 20s. Could she be linked with Alejandro who'll recur next season?

* The episode will also introduce Kane, a recurring character that may become a possible regular. This man in his late 20s is referred, in the info we were given, as an ageless American with an European feel. He is said to be a charming womanizer who as a soul that seems to be older than he appears to be.

* A new Japanese recurring female character will be named Princess Keriyama.

* A few high school characters living in California will be added to the recurring cast. They are: Gay cheerleader April; charming 18-year-old West, who doesn't fit in much; May, a mean cheerleader high schooler.

* Other recurring characters making their first appearances in the premiere are: Georgie and Blackie, two Irish thieves, who are under orders of 45ish ringleader Ricky; friendly 40-year-old mild-mannered Bob who is said to be the "unassuming face of a very powerful organization"; NYPD detective Kincaid.

* The second episode will introduce new regular Monica. She is a beautiful African-American in her late 20s. She is very kind to people and always thinks of them before taking care of herself.

According to Reuters, four new regulars would be added to the show, including a new boyfriend for Claire (could it be West listed in our spoilers above?) and a black woman who is said to be Micah's surrogate mother (Monica?). The article says that recurrings like Ricky may do arcs instead of being regulars.

Spoilers for Hell's Kitchen - specifically that bets at some betting site were cancelled when they all started leaning heavily toward Rock. It was felt that there had been a leak from the show and that Rock won.

I don't know if this is light enough for "lite" because it may touch a little on plot. From Ask Ausiello:

Question: It's been a month and a half since you gave us any Supernatural scoop. Will you please give us some Season 3 spoilers?— Gabrielle

Ausiello: Big scoop! The show is adding two new series regulars next season, both of them female and, based on the casting breakdowns, insanely doable. The first one is described as a beautiful, funny and confident mercenary who lacks a conscience, and the other is an enigmatic demon hunter who is sexy, brutal and ruthless. So ruthless that I hear she's going to make Sam and Dean look like the Hardy Boys.

So ruthless that I hear she's going to make Sam and Dean look like the Hardy Boys.

Half the job's already been done for her, what with Sam's Shaun Cassidy hair.

Some of us have been dream casting.

I just want to share that my brain exploded when someone suggested Clea Duvall.

Man, I would pay real money to see her as the baddest of asses.

Plus, additional freckles.
