Heroes starts filming today and an update on a new character

The Heroes production crew starts filming today. Let’s all wish them luck and hope they do what they do best.

Other than that, some scoop from Kristin:

Sasha in Charleston, Ill.: I’m in desperate need of some Heroes scoop. The wait until new episodes is killing me!

Look for a new villain named Joy. Her power is superspeed—she’s lightning-fast, like the Flash. Hiro meets her in a museum. He asks her if she has powers and if she is trying to steal some art. She convinces him she’s on the up-and-up…and then makes off with a bunch of paintings. She’s described as a nymph-like character with the speed of a cheetah on, er, speed.
