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?

Maybe Mohinder sees connections.

Claire is indestructible?
Claire called it her own "private little freak show." What better coming of age story than for a teenager to come to terms with that?
The Haitian is neutral?
The Haitian will be dealt with in a graphic novel this summer. The hiatus novels start this coming Monday.
To give you another example of a character-driven power, check out <href="http://www.nbc.com/heroes/novels/index.shtml?novel=9">Eden's origin story.
Btw, have you read the latest two-part Hana story, yet, coinciding with the final two eps?
