Heroes: The Kindness of Strangers...

[fajrdrako]

Saw and loved Heroes again. Even though it went light on shirtless Peter scenes. Expectations have been raised. Thoughts:

1. Nathan looking in the mirror seems very like Niki looking in the mirror. In season 2, we haven't seen the dark side of Nathan... could it be that he has power absorption abilities like Peter, and he absorbed Niki/Jessica's powers when he slept with her? Possibly he could have used those powers to survive the nuclear blast and save Peter.



2. I'm not really into the Petrellicest, but I did love the scene where Nathan was looking at the pictures of young Peter. I now find Nathan exceedingly interesting. Yes, I'm becoming a Nathan fan. Loved his scene with his sons at the school.



3. Matt's father is a player? My goodness. I wonder when we'll see Sylar's father turn up.



4. When Mohinder and Matt fight they seem even more domestic than when they're taking care of Molly. And Mohinder is still incredibly beautiful.



5. Does Clarie really think she can lie to Mr. Bennet? And get away with it?



6. Does West?



7. It's hard to like Monica. Her grandmother - even asleep - is much more interesting. I like Monica's powers, though.



8. Loved the scenes with Angela Petrelli, especially when she was with Matt. Loved when she grabbed Nathan's lapels. I'm still suspecting that she killed her husband; and had an affair with Kaito Nakamura.



9. I thought at the end of last episode ("Kindred") that Maya and Alejandro would be becoming more interesting with the appearance of Sylar. Not so. The only result is that Maya seems more stupid and Alejandro seems more ineffectual. But Sylar is interesting... and what is he up to?



10. Okay, to be honest, I love Maya's voice, especially when she speaks English.



11. West may not look much like Tom Welling really, but he has floppy dark hair and large eyes and he wears blue plaid shirts and flies, and sometimes carries a girl while he flies.... They're channelling Smallville. So where's the Michael Rosenbaum clone, hmm? On the other hand, there are half a dozen paternal characters who are rather too much like Lionel Luthor...



12. So Matt really thinks he didn't father his wife's baby. This makes me feel all the more certain that he did.



13. Claude, Peter needs you. Come back!

my hunch is that Petrelli Sr. isn't dead.

Oooh. Cool idea. Do you have any reasons, or is it a clever guess? Do you think he's behind some of the action now?

I hate that Claire and Dad are doing the secrets from each other thing again.

So do I. I liked it so much when they were on good terms.

I don't think Mr. Bennet will be killed. I really don't. It's like Nathan and Peter being in the middle of a self-generated nuclear explosion and still being alive. All sorts of things can happen. Maybe Hiro has healing powers (not Kensei) and will pop up to revive him. Maybe it will be an illusion cast by Candace or Sylar.

Nichelle Nichols is D.L.'s great-aunt, I think.

I have no reason to believe it other than that I do. :D He might behind it all, yeah. He's a Petrelli, ain't he?

He's a Petrelli and clearly was central to the original plots. Either he got in their way and was killed, or isn't dead, or died in the use of his own powers....

I wonder if his marriage was arranged for the genetic manipulation of his offspring. If my current theory that Nathan also has power-absorption capabilities is true, then they are both very powerful indeed.

Petrelli Sr. might have been manipulated by Angela and her powers of persuasion becuase she was looking for a certain genetic result.
