Unrelated: messed about with layout and default userpic again. Because I have the attention span of a hummingbird with ADD.
And now I'm going to babble about Kensei. Because no one else loves my poor, snarky samurai. And, oh, alright, I'll talk about other Heroes-like things, too.

But for now... )

I love him! I just want Hiro and Kensei to actually do stuff if we're going to be seeing them around. Stuff that couldn't be handled by a previously or comic.
And, yeah, Kensei. So, we're back to him being the potential Big Bad again, only...I don't know. I don't think I quite buy it
I'm actually starting to wonder if a person will be the Big Bad at all. Last season it wasn't. The explosion to be averted could have happened in a lot of different ways, and defeating Sylar or Linderman obviously wasn't parcel to stopping it. So perhaps the Big Bad is actually the virus and/or Maya, and Kensei and Daddy Parkman are Little Bads gumming things up even worse.
Also, it plays into my crack!theory that he's totally Petrelli, Sr. What? It could happen. Plus, it would be a great bonding exercise for him and Claire ("My limbs grow back!" "Mine grow back faster!")Well, it only happens if the writers suddenly decide the ( ... )

So we have the Company as a permanent fixture of the Heroes-verse while there are stories concentrated on prominent seasonal baddies. Which does actually line up with what they did in S1 (Company politics messing about with the elders and heroes in the ( ... )

Well, I have a fairly spoilery conversation about him going at the moment, but it's not really about his backstory. And... er, we operate under the assumption that he's a villain. If you are interested in his backstory, you may want to check out the mini-documentary that the show put out about Kensei. Just google Yamagato Fellowship, and at it's up there. It outlines most of his legend and the basic framework of Hiro's plot in the past.

Which does actually line up with what they did in S1 (Company politics messing about with the elders and heroes in the background, Sylar up front).I do think the Company will be a little more prominent this season, and already has been, to the point where it will have to ( ... )
