HEROES

Actor Masi Oka is quoted at Sci Fi Wire talking about the new "Villains" coming to the show. "I think that you'll see a dark side of everybody, because being a hero or villain is very subjective," Oka said. "Each human being has the ability to become a hero or a villain. It's the choices that we make every day, and that can be influenced by the things around us. So you'll see the journeys of everybody, you know? ... Will they become heroes? Will they become villains? Even villains can become heroes. It's all relative."
