Some Maya/Sylar News from Wizard World Con
The Sylar and Maya stuff is at the bottom of the page. The rest of this is the Heroes Panel at Wizard World

It seems sometime Sat. morning Jeph, Milo and Tim were dragged before NBC/Universal Stroomtroopers and Lawyers and warned that they were VERBOTEN!! FORBIDDEN!! to reveal ANYTHING about "Villians"

A friend of mine overheard them fretting together over what they were going to talk about at the Panel billed as a discussion about "Villians".

Jeph: There will be announcements about "Villians" in the next few weeks. All I can say is that the next season will blow your mind!

Me: How many weeks?

Jeph: I can't tell you.

(March 18 the Soundtrack Album comes out. Maybe will here somethings then. Maybe.)

So what did they talk about? Talk mainly turned to discussions of the last two seasons. Thankfully, people, on the whole behaved themselves and it did not turn into the Inquisition I was fearing. We will see how Comic-Con goes.

The following is dependent on my aging and unreliable memory:

Well, first, Milo pointed out the very real pair of Stormtroopers at the back of the auditorium.

Milo: They're making me nervous.

Jeph: That's because they have real weapons. See that one's NBC, the other's Universal.

GirlFan: I really liked how each character was defined a profession, Peter, a nurse, Nathan, a politian, Niki, a stripper--

Jeph:--Niki was a stripper?! Where was I?!

GirlFan: In the second season this got kind of lost--only Parkman continued to have a job he continued from the first season. I was wondering if you were going to get back to that in "Villians".

Jeph: We were kinda faced with, with our characters. How are ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after what they've been through. Now that they know of each other. How do you get them back to their normal lives. So we had Peter, for instance, lose his memory and his job was to get it back.

(The problem as noted by this questioner is essentially that the characters lose their grounding in reality if they don't have jobs and responsibilities they have to deal and we can relate to.)

A very young girl, about 5 or 6, asked almost ready to cry:

Child: Did your brother really die? (meaning Nathan)

Milo: We don't know yet. I really hope not. It would be a great loss to me and Peter.

Jeph: It would be a great loss to the show. It would mean not just losing Nathan but Adrian Pasdar.

Me: (To Milo) Do you feel Peter at some point will mentor other 'Specials'

Milo: I feel he could definitely end up doing that but right now he's saved the world--TWICE! And he is still dealing with controlling all the powers he's absorbed. This may confuse him and lead him...

Milo was implying Peter may go down a dark path before returning to the the light. Whether he may join with Sylar or Adam or neither.

(There is a fan story out there somewhere of Sylar and Adam joining forces to defeat Peter and Save the World. I know there's also many a Sylar/Peter team up as well. You never know...As unlikely as it seems.)

Right now, this all I can remember. I meant to bring my video camera but forgot. Sorry. Next time.

I recommend you guys periodically googling the following: Wizard World Los Angeles 2008 Heroes panel youtube or check the Wizard World site.

Because there was videotaping and it should be posted soon.

Update kinda spoilers:

Sylar News: He should be in the first episode of "Villians" and as long as Zach remains uncommitted, there will be much more of Sylar this season.

I asked Jeph which is more powerful Sylar's TK or Maya's Black Tears. He said that we might not yet know the extent of Maya's powers. And that the "Black Tears" are the symptoms, not the power themselves. It implies that maybe she will be getting even more control of her powers and that they might change.

Also when I asked if Sylar and Maya would throwdown or something. He answered "...Or something."

Which I take as meaning they may not actually confront each other one on one. She may simply use her powers and he may not even know she's there.

OR

They may not fight at all.

The Spoilers from the December VerneFilmFest Video may or may not appear in the fall showEverything may be re filmed or redone. Its up in the air. If you go to Comic-Con this year. You're more likely to get more information about what might happen.

Ohh thank you!! Ok I really bloody hope that "or something" doesn't mean "he kills her" *prays*

Hmmmm, symptoms of what?

While anything is possible, I personally doubt it. If they wanted to kill her off "Powerless" was the perfect moment to do it. They didn't. Which doesn't mean they won't. All I know is the press release for 2008-2009 NBC's renewal of "Heroes" Maya (Dania Ramirez) was mentioned, along with Monica. And that came out during the WGA strike.

But by saying we haven't seen the full extent of Maya's powers shows she will be undergoing changes. In order for us to see those changes she will have to be around for at least a little bit.

By asking Loeb if Sylar's TK beats Maya's powers I was asking many questions in one, including will they confront each other again. Apparently they will. I'm hoping for a pregnancy by Sylar as you know. I think it would be wonderfully angsty. And it would piss off all the Sylinder people. Ha, ha. Yeah! And were Mylar not them!

I also showed him picture of an online comicbook character I intend to do "Alley Gray" and he said as long as I don't make money on it I can do it.

That's true but I am nervous because she's largely got a negative response from the fandom, unfortunately.

They have to jazz up her power, it was getting repetitive and really from what we saw in Powerless she's already got quite a grip on it.

Well I hope they do meet up. And yeah a pregnancy would be very angsty but poor Maya. Either way I’m sure she's going to be a very angry person when we see her next. Some Mylar fans were angry anyway, before they even had scenes together lol. (I don't ship them :)

What just because the last name is Gray?

Angry or depressed or both by turns.

No because the comic is clearly based off of "Heroes". An Alt. Universe version.

Why were the Mylar fans angry before Maya? I'm fascinated. Some of them are so nuts.

Ohh I see!

It was a post on heroes_sylar about a spoiler regarding a romance between them and lots of people, Mylar shippers and others, really didn't like the idea :x

I take it you don't ship Sylar/Mohinder? I wasn't sure because of your username :)

Yeah. Y'know, the more things change the more they stay the same. It was the same story in Star Wars Fandom. The Luke/Han shippers. It was the same story in Trek--ooh god, wait until Zach gets hit with Trek. He'll miss the day he was only known as little ole Sylar.

Oh, I like the stories, but the hatred of Maya. The anger and resentment and the flat denial of the fact he is kissing a Mayal in the scene, made me want to scream.

At first, I thought it had to do with they were being supportive of Zach and people questioning his sexuality.
But nope. Its pure adolescent, "He's my boyfriend! He's mine!" And then I went back and looked at all the vitriol spewed against Eden, and Simone. Its the same sort of crap.

All I can say is, if they expect Zach to go through his career not kissing women they better get real.

I also get confused if the negative was simply how badly everything was handled and how dull they made Maya and Al--we also didn't know who they were. The should have shown the wedding first. There's also the anti-immigrant feeling too. So there's that ugly fact.

Or the Maya hate is just because of the ugly tears or that like Mohinder was taken in by Sylar. But we will see. If they get rid of Maya because of a few jealous Mylar whiners of what I think is a basically sympathetic character.

*nods* yup Trek is going to have an even bigger slash base once the film comes out *cough*Christine/Spock*cough* (I don't slash at all)

Well Zach being gay shouldn't have anything to do with writing/reading fic and I hope the negativity towards Maya wasn't a way of showing "support" because that's just a very strange way of doing it :\

I think it probably does boil down to frustrated jealousy :\ Mylar is a fandom creation and Saya isn't *shrugs*

I meant showing support FOR his sexuality by pairing his character with another male character. But the negativity towards Maya had to do with jealousy. A close friend of mine is an old Trek slash person and any of the women Kirk hooked up with were roundly trashed.

Thanks explaining about Mylar and Saya. I always wondered. I've come into much of this relatively recently. I didn't watch Heroes until after Comic-Con 2007 when the DVD came out.

I get that (even if his sexuality has nothing to do with the characters he portrays) I just don't like the bashing that women seem to get.

lol! I just mean Maya/Sylar is canon, they had a romantic relationship on the show while Mohinder and Sylar didn't. Of course some think it is canon but yeah, not me *shrugs*

Yeah I had a look through LJ and forums when I got into it.

BTW, theres a post at 9th Wonders about "The Eclipse" con and there was a good report by Danita, I think. Sendhil was there and of course it came up.

[Unknown LJ tag]http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?showtopic=62828&st=25&#entry635339

Then came the Sendhil and Santiago talk! Santiago was still a little quiet, and Sendhil came on wearing his glasses. Also, he really does throw back his head and laugh! I could see all of his molars! And yes, there was the inevitable Mylar question--basically "what do you think of the vast amounts of syhinder fanfiction?" To which he replied "Oh, is there vast amounts?" and that he knew that it existed, largely because people sent him stuff and that "when are Mohinder and Sylar getting together?" was a question he got often on the street, and that he generally figured that they didn't mean romantically--he hoped. And then he kind of went on about character interactions and that he had pretty strong chemistry with Zach, as did Milo with Adrian (I could not for the life of me figure out from this statement if he was aware of petrellicest or if he thought that it was a safe example), and then after quickly digging himself into a deeper and deeper slope stopped and remarked "I'm just adding fuel to the fire here, aren't I?" He also had to stop several times when people started giggling and go "Minds out of the gutter people, minds out of the gutter!" (He made a reference to this Sunday when a comment of Cristine's elicited some snickering.)

LOL! Oh, poor Sendhil, if only he knew the depths of the Sylar/Mohinder slashers' nuttiness. Actually...it's probably best that he doesn't. He'd most likely be scarred for life. :p

I forgot to say the Black Tears are symptom of her powers. They may go away. The power won't. Personally, if Maya does confront Sylar to me she'll either be running and hiding or confronting him as part of a team or using her powers at a distance.

When I said she and Sylar may not fight. I meant that its not likely were going to see an X-men throw down type of fight. Not that they wouldn't be in a struggle of some sort with each other.

Like she may find another way to unleash the plague/whatever it is? It would be safer to be in a team but I think she's going to be uncontrollable around him :\

I hope so, I just want some sort of interaction *bounce*

Woohoo! I even said! I had ideas about Maya's powers! I knew that it wasn't just about crying. I have a theory ... :X

Also when I asked if Sylar and Maya would throwdown or something. He answered "...Or something."

I totally went to the lusty place.:X

Me too!. I went to the lusty place and I'm hoping. His reaction to my idea concerning "Alley Gray" was to smile and say as long as I didn't try to sell it. Which makes me think he likes the idea of a kid from Maya and Sylar.

I just remembered some more stuff.

Tim Sale was asked if he would be back doing the paintings. He said he hadn't yet been approached, but Jeph seemed to think he'd be back to do it.

Right now Peter does the paintings in Tim Sale's style. While Sylar is done by someone else.

I noticed the different styles. I really like it. So I guess that means Peter is a true empath?

Yeahhh at least you gave me some hope!!!I love Maya and I knew the cry thing it was the power.
I hope they don´t kill her just coz some fans dosen´t like her. I think that maya haters are some of Mohinder and Sylar shipper (well I like them but not as shipper). And the other haters are from Kristin/elle fans and who ship elle/sylar (hello that never is going to work out) and with kristin and ZQ shipper (helloooo i love ZQ but I know that he is gay sooo whyy they ship them, it just...)

I love maya sence day one and the chemistry with ZQ is really in there, they do great scenes, and sylar/maya is canon!!!

I'm so glad I gave you hope. Jeph gave me hope.

As I said if her powers are going to change, she has to be around for that to happen.

We know that they use Sylar kissing Maya in the promos. They know we want to see them together or they come together and come apart. So...I think there is hope for their hot, sizzling moments together to continue.
