The TV Addict 

Enjoy a first look at new hero — or if we’re to believe the rumours, villain — Elle. Played by none other than Veronica Mars herself Kristen Bell. Touted in a recent NBC press release as a sexy, intriguing and mysterious, Bell will no doubt inject some much needed excitement into the struggling sophomore series.

The bad news, Bell doesn’t arrive until October 22. And even then, we have a sneaking suspicion that she’s only going to appear in the final shocking moments. Guaranteeing fans return for HEROES first November sweeps episode the following week. Forget Sylar, the real evil geniuses — NBC’s marketing department. This TV Addict’s already programmed his PVR.
