HEROES

Ka-boom! According to quotes at Sci Fi Wire, actor Masi Oka had some things to say about the season finale. "I think it's great the way the finale ends," Oka said. "It's a wrapping up of volume one, which is [called] 'Genesis.' And it wraps up the whole bomb storyline. So it's a nice finale, and there's a great cliffhanger with everybody, I would say. And you do get to see a little bit of volume two, which is called 'Generations.' The big finale has been amazing because we had a lot of long nights. Because of the location, we had to shoot overnight. So we'd have 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. day after day after day. It was tough on the crew, tough on the cast. ... But it's going to be fantastic. The finale's going to be the bomb. Literally and metaphorically."

Meanwhile, right here at CBR we've got the press release for the new original web series, "Inside Heroes."
