Heroes: How to Stop an Exploding Man...

[fajrdrako]

maaboroshi and I did a lot of screaming and speculating as we watched. I loved it and can hardly wait for next season.

My main question is: Will Peter be alive and present next season? My secondary wonder: will Claude be back? Could my two favourite characters be gone for good?

Well, yes, of course they could be, but I'm sure that they will be back.... If it's like comics at all (and it is), the good ones are never gone for long.

It's an amazing thing, this show. Even if Peter Petrelli were dead and gone and never to return, I'd love the show still, for so many reasons - so many good characters. I can't think of any other show where I would forgive them for killing off my favourite. Not that I think they have done so, absolutely not.

Oh those Petrelli brothers. Their "I love you" scene was one - you will not be surprised to hear - was one where maaboroshi and I were screaming out loud. Yes, Nathan has redeemed himself yet again, without every clarifying himself in my eyes - and I love that. Mama Petrelli is still scary. Scarier than ever.

What was that with Charles Devreaux and Peter's vision of his own past? And all that about Peter's unconditional love? I loved it all with a passion, but I don't entirely understand it.... But the speech about Peter being love and that being the important thing further gives me hope that he will be back, that the heroism of the Petrelli brothers will be redemptive and continue to be significant to the story.

Matt was interesting again.

What was Isaac's plan, for which he died? Did that happen?

Niki is still pretty dull, but she had some good moments - such as when she saw Jessica's reflection and Jessica told her that Candice was not her. Though I really like DL's power, he has been becoming increasingly dull too, leaving Micah as the only interesting one in the family.

Mr. Bennet - it's now predictable that he should be wonderful. As is Claire. And we now know his first name. That seems as significant a revelation as anything else.

I wonder who Molly's bogyman is, and whether he's someone we've met.

Hiro was wonderful, particularly in his dialogue with Ando. And the bit we got of Vol. 2 - was an eclipse in the 17th century the cause of the genetic mutations? Or were there already mutants then, and our characters their descendants?

My secondary wonder: will Claude be back?

My guess is that Claude is gone and brain-eaten by Sylar, because of the fresh blood on the floor of the loft. It explains why when Peter says "He must be hiding in plain sight", Sylar appears *out of nowhere*.

Poor Claude.

And I assume that Peter will be back because he is indestructible. :)

And "Noah" is quite the appropriate name for a man who goes around collecting beings to save the world. *g*

Yup, I love "Noah" as Mr. Bennet's first name.

And of course Peter is indestructible.

Your theory about the blood on the floor of the loft, and Sylar's apparent invisibility powers, may well be right. But I hope you're wrong. I liked Claude too much to lose him so soon.

Hm. I hope you're wrong about Claude, but it fits.

Still, even if he's dead in the present, if Vol. 2 is all about "Generations" one can hope for lots of opportunities to include him in past-time storylines. He was *Noah*'s partner, after all.

It would be great to see more stories of Claude in the past. I'd like that.

But I don't believe that Claude is gone forever from the present and future. Mostly because I don't want to believe it!

Amen to that. Claude is not dead because I refuse to allow it to be so. I lost Nine, dangit, I'm not losing Claude! :P

I lost Nine, dangit, I'm not losing Claude!

Good point. I watched "Bad Wolf" again yesterday and I was practically weeping over how much I love and miss Nine. Of course I love Ten too but sometimes I am just forcibly reminded that it isn't the same.

So I hope we have Claude. I want Claude! I love Claude.
