Welcome to our 12th Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Linderman's return; Mohinder's powers; and Hiro's faith in Ando. Let's get to the Q&A…

More exciting return: Linderman or Claire's biological mom?
A. Hiro: Linderman. He reminds me of Six from Battlestar Galactica. And any reminder of Tricia Helfer is a good thing.

Milover: Claire's real mom. I'm sick of how her adopted mom is always on the verge of tears.

Timex: Welcome back, Linderman, you're going to help make season 3 the awesomeness that season 1 was. Claire's mom is basically a babysitter right now. What's the matter, HRG, the local neighborhood teenager busy?

So, Angela can dream the future and Mohinder can scale walls, among other new senses. Who's power would you rather have?
Timex: Sorry, Mohinder, with your power comes gross parts falling off your back. Now, Angela just needs to dream about the lotto and she's good to go. I'll take that one.

A. Hiro: I can't actually plan out the dreams that come true, can I? Removing those Megan Fox fantasy possibilities, I'll go with Mohinder's all-encompassing abilities. Muggers, your day has come!

Milover: Mohinder has to spend more time with Maya now. She sucks. Give me Angela's dreams, no matter how scary they are.

Sylar: My name is Sylar. And you are not my mother.
Angela: But I am, dear. I am.

After two hours of head-spinning twists and turns, Heroes concluded last night with the revelation that Sylar was Angela Petrelli's third son. Wait... what?!?

Indeed, actress Cristine Rose told TV Guide that fans will be treated to yet another step in this story line in Episode 3.

"It really has a double punch," she said. "The revelation that he's my son is just the beginning."

Does that mean viewers ought to expect Sylar to pick out flowers and Mother's Day cards soon? We wish! But...

"That's really not why I need him or want him," Rose said. "In the last two seasons, I dealt with whether I loved my children or whether I bore them out of a need for power and used them as weapons. I think of Sylar as my weapon of mass destruction. Eventually anyway."

If a picture is worth a thousand words, perhaps we should have just posted a few images from last night's season premiere instead of trying to recap the numerous twists and turns.

With heads still spinning from new story lines established for season three - Angela is Sylar's mother?!? Future Peter banished Present Day Peter into the body of a villain?!? Maya is still around?!? - we've collected the following pictures to help readers make sense of it all.

Click on each thumbnail below. We hope they help you understand everything that went down last night:

Remember to visit our Heroes forum and discuss the premiere with fellow fans. We'll see you there!

Wow.

Tim Kring wasn't joking around when he said this season was fast-paced.

We've recapped the opening two hours of Heroes as best we can, but we strongly urge readers to visit our Heroes forum and discuss the events from tonight with fellow fans. There's certainly a lot to sort out!

Tonight's season premiere began with Future Claire aiming a gun at Future Peter. And from there, well...

... we tried out hardest to recap The Second Coming and The Butterfly Effect.

Review those episode guides now and check back here for constant Heroes quote and photo updates from the first two hours of what looks to be an incredible season.

Man, now we know how pregnant women feel. Minus the cravings for unusual food.

After a nine-month wait since the last new Heroes episode, we can finally look forward to the season three premiere tonight. It's a two-hour event, preceded by a one-hour summation of last season's events.

Remember to come back here immediately following the premiere for a full recap, complete with Heroes photos from the episode and more.

For now, click on the photo below and talk about what you hope to see throughout the volume known as "Villains." We'll meet you there!

The first 13 episodes of Heroes are dubbed "Villains." We'll start to learn what goes down in this volume of the show with tonight's two-hour season premiere.

The first hour is dubbed "The Second Coming," while the second if "The Butterfly Effect."

Here's a look at the rest of the chapter's titles:

• One of Us, One of Them
• I Am Become Death
• Angels and Monsters
• Dying of the Light
• Eris Quod Sum
• Villains
• It’s Coming
• The Eclipse Part 1
• The Eclipse Part 2
• Our Father
• War

Following "War," Heroes will go on hiatus and come back with volume four, titled "Fugitives."

Masi Oka, Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto are featured on the latest cover of TV Guide.

The article on our favorite show delves deeply into the upcoming season, highlighting a few spoilers already covered on this site. But you can never get enough information about season three, right?

Here's an overview of what the magazine is reporting:

Oka, in Hiro's nemesis: “Daphne steals Hiro’s very destiny. And that’s not OK, because it’s his destiny to save the world. Again. For the third time in three seasons.”

Creator Tim Kring on speed of story telling: “We’re moving very quickly and revealing a lot of secrets and surprises on Night 1 – the kinds we would have saved until Episode 7 or 8 in the past.”

We're proud to present our third and final look at the villains that lead the way on season thre of Heroes.

There's just one more in our series, and he appears to have something in common with Claire's birth mom...

Character: Flint

Played by: Blake Shields

Traits: Can shoot blue fire from his hands

"The fire is a huge redemptive discovery. The power gives him a place in the world. He becomes more than an impoverished loser," Shields says of Flint.

For the days leading up to the season three premiere of Heroes, we're gonna review where the show left off with regard to certain characters.

Next up? Noah Bennet.

Claire's blood brought the man known as "HRG" back to life - but the Company told his family he was dead. Ouch.

Bennet shocked his loved ones by returning home, but left again, making a difficult decision to work for the Company so his family could be left alone.

We're mere days away from the Heroes season three premiere.

But fans needn't wait that long to get a glimpse at the action.

Here are six - yes, six! - sneak peeks at the show, with clips from Monday's episode that feature everyone from Sylar to Hiro's new nemesis.

Watch and enjoy...
