Here is the preview NBC aired for next week's episode, "Lizards."

It's not a real Heroes spoiler, just a commercial for the second hour of the season. But we wanted to warn those that truly wish to come into each episode fresh.

For everyone else, enjoy:

Moments after the Heroes season premiere aired, Jack Coleman and Tim Kring logged on to the official NBC website for a chat with fans.

Here are a couple notes the actor that portrays Noah Bennet passed along about his character this season:

"The most fun part about this character is that I generally get to cahoot with almost everybody at this point... I cross paths with just about everybody," Coleman wrote. "The one character I haven't locked horns with, and while I'm not pitching this to Tim, there might be some mileage in a Nathan/HRG tete a tete."

He was then asked about the role of Mr. Bennet over the next batch of episodes and added:

"Keeping Claire out of the clutches of certain people plays a big part of his role this season, though he will have his own self-interests in mind."

Kring, meanwhile, assured readers that The Company will be heard from again in season two. But will Mohinder and Mr. Bennet be successful in their plans to bring it down?

Guess we'll have to tune in and find out.

If you missed the season premiere, you're probably asking yourself: How the heck is Takezo Kensei white?!?

How does Heroes stand out from other popular shows on TV? Zachary Quinto - who was mostly absent from last night's season two premiere - says that his series focuses on broad, important issu

"It's not just that people like to talk about our show, it's the themes of the show," Quinto said. "The show is about saving the world. The show is about people waking up to their own power to make a difference.

"It's not like the entire world is talking about the sex scene in the shower at the hospital with the doctors, or the lawyers in the bathroom, or whatever."

"There always is going to be pressure, no matter whether it's the first, second, third, fourth or fifth season," Ventimiglia said.

"I think you have to strive to better yourself and better your characters. But this show always is going to be a big one to make. So I think, if anything, it reminds us not to slow down and not to slack off, to do better and to grow."

Based on the season two premiere, Heroes will be focusing on the older generation a bit more this year.

That probably sounds great to Cristine Rose, who plays the infamous mother to Nathan and Peter Petrelli. She recently spoke with TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: It's been a blast loving Mama Petrelli even though we can't trust her.
Rose: Oh, I think she's just misunderstood and misguided! I have to play her with the intent that she's good and that she's a nurturer… yet a nurturer who's not averse to violence. This part really juices me up!

TVGuide.com: Word is, she drops quite a bombshell in the Oct. 15 episode.
Rose: Yes, the shocking confession. It's about the murder. She is in the thick of it. She has a lot of secrets, and she'll be doling them out.

TVGuide.com: Well, if I were you, I'd dole them out very slowly — especially with this death-card thing hanging over your head. Of course, nothing is ever what it seems on your show.
Rose: And things can turn at any given moment. Every time I think I have Angela pinned down as to who and what she is, I'll read the next script and everything has changed. Last season I took some solace in the fact that I wasn't heavier in the stories because that meant there was no need or interest in killing me. As exciting as things are for me on the show these days, I am now a marked woman! But… [Pregnant pause]

TVGuide.com: But what?
Rose: Are we really sure Angela is not a part of [Kaito's death]? I will tell you this about the next few episodes: My character crosses paths with the other heroes and none of them are very happy about it.

TVGuide.com: Angela's fury toward her son Nathan [Adrian Pasdar] is a fearsome thing to behold.
Rose: Not only did Nathan destroy all her plans that had been building up for decades, she blames him for killing her beloved son Peter [Milo Ventimiglia]. It's all blown up in her face. They've got me doing monologue after monologue like Lear, just ranting and raving.

In anticipation of the Heroes season two premiere, "Four Month Later," TV Guide set up a photo shoot with three actresses from our favorite show.

You can see the finished product here.

But how did Kristen Bell, Hayden Panettiere and Ali Larter get to the cover of this publication? Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots...

We didn't see Kristen Bell in the season premiere. But this former Veronica Mars star has signed on for at least 13 episode.

Hayden Panettiere stares into the camera.

And all three actresses together. Ali Larter looks beautiful as always.

Don't worry: we haven't forgotten about the Heroes season premiere already. Visit our episode guide if you somehow missed the opening hour of season two.

While you're at it, however, here's a spoiler about next week's episode, entitled "Lizards." It's courtesy of Kristin from E! Online...

At the Emmys, Jimmy Jean-Louis (the Haitian) said his character returns in the second episode. According to the actor:

"He will connect with some other people. He's very much with Mr. Bennet still, but he is going to be working with some others, including a doctor. And he speaks a little bit more, but he still has his powers. Actually his powers are getting stronger."

Could that doctor be Mohinder? Another new character? Guess we'll have to tune in to find out!

The wait was worth it.

The Heroes season two premiere aired tonight, as we were introduced to a slew of new characters, while getting reacquainted with old ones.

What, exactly, is Maya's power? Can Nathan recover? And how long until Claire's talents are revealed?

Numerous questions abound. Those that missed the hour can catch up now with our recap. We also have quotes and photos from the opening episode of season two.

Lastly, be sure to talk about it with fellow fans at our

It's never too early to start talking about the Heroes season two premiere, "Four Months Later."

Head over to our Heroes forum right now and discuss the episode, story lines and characters with fellow fans.

Our thanks to the numerous readers who submitted an entry in this week's Heroes Caption Contest. It was our biggest turnout yet.

The funniest response, though, was both witty and relevant. After all, rumors of Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia (aka "Halo") dating have been heating up celebrity gossip sites and magazines.

It makes sense that Nathan wouldn't want Hiro to help fuel this speculation. Hence, the winning caption - sent in by username "=p" - posted below the photo...

Shhh… Lips are already buzzing about Halo, are you trying to make it worse??
