Heroes webisodes launched yesterday
NBC launched a webisode series called Going Postal to whet your appetite for the fall season of Heroes. Each week we'll get introduced to a new villain, their ability and their motives. The first installment called "A Nifty Trick" features Echo DeMille played by Kiko Ellsworth (General Hospital, Dexter). Echo is a mailman with a secret ability that involves really loud screaming. An official-looking agent and a pale thug are after him.
Over the next few weeks we'll find out more about Gina (Rebeka Montoya), Constrictor (Mark Steger), Agent Howard (Brian Prescott), and Agent #1 (James Ryen). Gina is Echo's love interest (according to the site she doesn't have a special ability). And we meet Constrictor in this first video. You can probably tell what Constrictor's ability is just from the name.
NBC has been touting these summer webisodes for awhile. They released a teaser for them awhile back. I thought we were going to get more. Only three and a half minutes? I had to watch a stupid commercial for some car, too. I know, you have to watch a little "sponsored by" ad before these things -- but this was just a picture of a car with some pop-ups and a countdown. I'm fine with watching the picture of the car, but I better get more than three minutes of Heroes goodness afterwards.
You can watch the video now over at NBC. There will be a new video posted every Monday at 3 p.m. EST. You can read more about the new characters and their abilities here.
