I agree there needs to be more about what happened to Nathan. Could be that w/o Lindemann at the controls, the voter fraud issue was caught onto, and he simply lost in the recount. No matter what though, a congressman (or candidate) that suddenly drops out would have the media so far up his poop-shoot that he wouldn't have privacy for three minutes, much less three months. Which might also explain the beard--facial hair DOES act as a disguise sometimes. Compound that with the issues of the wife n' kids, could easily drive a man to drink, much less the thought of losing your brother in something you think you could have prevented.
As to DL's death... I'm actually cool with it. Not because I didn't like the character, but sometimes, deaths are senseless. It also grounds the 'Heroes' as being at their core, vulnerable and human. Besides, I'm a HUGE proponent of keeping him around as one of Nikki's derangements, sort of like a 'good angel' perched on her shoulder, keeping Jessica and any other personalities at bay. A novel way to keep around the character, even after death. Heck, with the way that she goes, if he remains as a split persona, there is the chance that sometimes, he'll take over driving when Nikki's particularly emo.
Overall though, I was kinda 'meh' about most of the early episodes, but they've really ramped it up to '11' in the last few. Here's to hoping they keep up the pressure.
