    I'm sorry, but when I see the Great Beef running in front of a pyramid, all I can think of is National Treasure. Damn you Nick Cage and Michael Bay!

    He'll probably transform to Hiro.... and it will be revealed that the dark Hiro from the first season was actually Sylar coming back to the past to get Peter so he could kill Peter in that epic battle they had at the towards the end of that season, preventing him from stopping him.


    No?


    Alrighty then...


    Other theory: He transforms into Baby Matt Parkman and breastfeeds from Matt's ex.

    @alphanumeric1971: Does this qualify as a spoiler since we see Tahmoh Penikett as Echoes handler? Would working for the dollhouse be the "Dark Place" that's been hinted at? If so, I'm not really surprised. They've been heading in that direction and it seems a good way to recruit handlers.


    Also, where do I apply to be the guy who adjusts Eliza Dushku's dress?

    Chev's problems might be solve if he relied on reusable energy instead. It would give an important environmental message. He could wear an enormous sombrero covered with solar cells and small wind mills. Next movie...

    @robot-shmobot: Would you rather have had Crank 2, Street fighter 2, Underworld 3, Paul Blart, Punisher 2, etc..? Seriously, I'm wondering. Because I would rather have the slightly more in-depth title than the numeral. Even if the extra title bit is a little asinine.

    @YardanCabaret: Studies have shown people dont like movies with numbers in the title.


    Hence the colons.


    Though all the colons remind me of school. I had a professor that jokingly said every academic paper requires a colon in the title.

    Well, it looks like I finally have to see this film to know why you are all drooling over this. From what I've read on the Wiki page, it sounds like a videogame more than it does a movie.
