(UPDATED) Twists and turns in Heroes Season 3

Editor's note: This is to correct an earlier version since Season 3 , Volume 4 of Heroes--which will run 12 more episodes, is scheduled to air on F ebruary 2 to April 20). Thanks to our readers for pointing this out. We apologi ze for the confusion. By Marjorie Gorospe INQUIRER.net IF you have extraordinary powers, would you rather become a hero or a villain? Throughout the third season of Heroes, that dilemma has been the recurring them e. Heroes turned villains. Villains turned heroes. As some heroes desired for m ore power, some went astray. It was now a question of, âAre you one of us, or o ne of them.â As the saying goes, power corrupts. Now, having extraordinary powers, one can b e eventually lured to the dark side. In the past seasons, Peter Petrelli has be en undoing things his brother Nathan Petrelli had done. But in doing so, he has been changing the future (not once, but many times). Despite his purest intent ions, Peter has continued to play god in first half of the Season 3, traveling through time and deleting events that he hope would change the future. But as h is mother Angela Petrelli would keep reminding him, there are consequences. Enter Mohinder Suresh. Just like Peter, he has the purest of intenti ons. He is searching for the answers to what gives people superhuman abilities. But Suresh finds himself in a quandary. He too desires power, partly because h e is angry and curious. His pursuit of science blinds him. Eventually, his self -interest takes over. This leads him to a path, which he most fearedâthe same p ath that Sylar has takenâa killer. Meanwhile, we have Nathan Petrelli. (Remember, Season 2 ended with an unknown a ssailant who shot him in public while he was about to reveal his true identity) . Season 3 opens with the changed Nathan Petrelli. His humbling experienceâand supposed death has somehow changed his perspective in life. But he soon found o ut that it was Peter who shot him and now heâs in the same dilemma. Eventually, his desire to run the most powerful country in the world made him surrender to the evil plans of father Arthur Petrelli (who was earlier known to be dead) an d Nancy Strauss (who was the twin sister of Nikki Sanders who died in Season 2) . Volume 3 of Season 3 ends with Nathan giving away the secrets of the Heroes to the highest ranking official of the country. According to reports, Volume 4 of Season 3, which is called "Fugitives," will unravel more stories in the next fe w weeks. Sylar is perhaps the biggest surprise so far. From a hated villain, Sylar becom es one of the âheroes,â as he discovers his true nature and his supposed real p arents. To complicate matters, he even partners with Noah Bennet, adoptive fath er of Claire Bennet, the cheerleader. In Season 2, both characters were on diff erent sides of the fence. As I watched the first half of Season 3, I found several lessons but one that s truck me is about giving people second chances. Sylar was given a second chance , to turn away from his craving for othersâ power. He even fell in love. In the end, Sylarâs attempt to turn away from evil fails. Now, I just canât wait to see the continuation of Season 3 for more twists and turns in this TV series by Tim Kring. Watch this teaser:
