MUMBAI:
An apocalypse is looming. A battle royale is unfolding. Is saving
the cheerleader really going to save the world? Find out when Heroes
season finale explodes on Star World on Wednesday, 27 June at 9
pm.
As
the sci-fi saga caps off its debut season, compelling questions
will be answered and mysteries will be solved. Who is the exploding
man set to wipe New York City off the map? Can the combined force
of the key heroes stop the catastrophe? Which hero will make the
ultimate sacrifice?
 Boasting
cinema-worthy special effects, the final chapter in the Heroes saga
is one of the most anticipated TV events of the year. "[The
finale] is like a $90 million movie," says Heroes creator Tim
Kring. "It's just… big." Kring also hints that the
season ender may mark the demise of at least one key character.
"This is the kind of show that has to kill some people off.
My plan was to simply kill the ones that weren't working. And now
I don't know which ones to kill off! That's how well things are
working right now."
The
closing episode also sets the stage for the show's second season.
"It shows you a good three minutes of where season two is going
to pick up. It'll be in a very, very interesting place," says
cast member Adrian Pasdar, who plays dodgy politico Nathan Petrelli.
When the finale aired in the US, it easily won its timeslot and
eclipsed the much-touted two-hour finale of 24.
Revolving
around a group of ordinary people who possess extraordinary power,
Heroes has been listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the best
sci-fi shows from the past 25 years. Lauded by critics, it picked
up two Golden Globe nominations and was named Favorite New Drama
at the People's Choice Awards.
On
Wednesday, 27 June at 9pm, catch the explosive conclusion to a season-long
thrill ride as the Heroes finale airs first and exclusively on Star
World.
