NBC Blurb

Having stolen the sword and teleported five years into the future, Hiro and Ando bear witness to a grim, harrowing future for the "heroes"--Thrown five years in the future, Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) discover that people with extraordinary abilities are not only widely known about--after the destruction of New York City and the deaths of millions--but are being registered, imprisoned, hunted and even killed as "terrorists." As the President takes his first step towards a "final solution," the pair get swept up in what could be the "Heroes" final battle and encounter a range of new and darkly familiar faces. If they survive the experience, can they still get back to the present and save the world? Santiago Cabrera, Jack Coleman, Noah Gray-Cabey, Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Leonard Roberts and Milo Ventimiglia also star. Stana Katic, Jimmy Jean-Louis and Zachary Quinto guest star.

Published Spoilers

  • 3/20 -- Adrian Pasdar: "There's an episode (called 'String Theory') that happens five years in the future, and it's a possible outcome of what situations now might dictate in the future. It's not a definite, finite reality, but it's a possibility." Kristin Veitch
  • 3/4 -- All the heroes die in episode 20. (Kristin Veitch)
  • 3/3 -- Bryan Fuller confides to Ain't It Cool that episode 20 is his favorite to date, noting "everyone's future is some bleak [Expletive deleted]." (Ain't it Cool News)
  • 2/28 -- Ausiello reveals some information about episode 120. (Ask Ausiello)
  • 2/19 -- TVGuide.com interviews Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) about his character's marriage and interactions with Niki / Jessica. Some hints from Episode 120 are given as well. (TVGuide.com)

Fan Theories

  • String Theory is a possible explanation unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics in physics. This episode might have a similar theory as to how the formula works. It could also refer to the possibility of alternate futures instead of a destined future.
  • The fact that Santiago Cabrera is credited for this episode means that Sylar failed to take his brain.
    • In the past though people have been credited even though they were killed as to not reveal who was going to be killed.
  • Hiro will contact his future self while in the future, which would be allowed with interpretations of String Theory.
