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?

when Nathan and Peter did their thing we just about fell out of the bed.


Well, yes. That was quite a scene.

I wonder if Grandma Petrelli is Molly's monster who can see her.

I wondered that - Molly didn't specify by gender, did she? And Mama Petrelli is in exactly the right position - she seems to know all the key players, and goodness knows, she manipulates Nathan. We don't know her agenda. maaboroshi has the same theory as you do about her powers - which seems plausible enough.

No, not the end of Sylar, though maybe the end of Sylar for a while. I liked the way having Hiro stab Sylar made Isaac's comic book come true.

Did Molly's monster drag Syler's body into the sewer?

I was assuming that Sylar crawled, but he was unconscious or dead last we saw him. Hmm. Linderman has regenerative powers - if he's alive, and thinks Sylar would be useful, maybe he has him.

I keep wondering where the Haitian went. He seems to be serving Mama Petrelli, but it's hard to tell with him.

Yeah, we really don't know her agenda. It's certainly her own. I forgot about the Haitian. That's another loose end that I hope will be picked up next season. Linderman looked quite dead but we only hear that he is dead from the Mama so it's possible he's not dead but she taking advantage to follow her own agenda.

I couldn't really tell what had happened in that scene with the sewer and the blood. It's possible he could've crawled but he was pretty done so I went with being dragged.

And Matt actually survived. He was the one we were hoping would get killed. He's so dumb.

I forgot about the Haitian.

I found him fascinating. I kept thinking that if he stepped in at the right time in the right place, he could save the world - but he hasn't done so. He seemed to have Claire's best interests at heart, and then seemed allied with Mama Petrelli, and then - gone. Gone where?

Linderman looked quite dead

He may have been, but regenerative powers can bring a person back.

but we only hear that he is dead from the Mama

Who might be lying, or might have been lied to.

Hopelessly stupid. I was very irritated by his utter idiocy five or six episodes ago; since then, I have found him more interesting because of his connections to Molly and to Mr. Bennet. I rather like the way he doesn't have the brains to use his own powers effectively, but Mr. Bennet does. It's as if Bennet - who seems to have no powers of his own - is the one wielding Matt's power, because Matt's too dumb to figure out what to do with his own skills. I like that.
