A Few Notes on 'Heroes'

A lot of activity of the last couple of days regarding 'Heroes':

• Todd Stashwick ('The Riches', 'Curb Your Enthusiasm') has landed a recurring role as one of the Carnies, according to THR.
• The Hayden Panettiere/Madeline Zima kiss on Monday night's show didn't do anything to help ratings. Viewership stayed flat over the last week's episode.
• A major character is going to die this season, reports Eonline. It's a male, and an original character.

Thoughts on who the producers might kill off? We think the Hiro storyline is a red herring. We're thinking it's time for Sylar to go. He'll turn good and save some people, only to lose his own life. What do you think?
