heroes thoughts (SPOILERS)
(UPDATED!!!)
so obviously, there will be spoilers within. i may try to do this weekly, but we'll see what happens. im assuming if youre reading this youve either seen this weeks heroes or you dont care about spoilers.
anyway, my conscience is clear, so lets discuss. as we all saw this past week, claire called her mom. and she can light herself on fire! when i saw that, i definitely sat up and screamed "whoa!" cause i did not see that one coming. i havent read anything about future episodes yet, but this makes me wonder who claire's dad is. apparently he gets revealed next episode. my thoughts? mr bennet, who had an affair, niki/jessica's father with the same, or linderman. if it ends up being niki's dad, that seems like crappy writing, but could explain why they both have powers. linderman would make things interesting, as im relatively sure that he is the one behind all the problems in the series. sylar is his pawn, methinks. but if its mr bennet? why that forces claires hand, and off she will run to new york. she wont be able to stay in texas, for fear that her dad will mind wipe her. alternatively, her father could be someone new, or not really used, like ted sprague, or isaac. but i doubt it.
the other interesting thing about claire's mom having powers is that we can now see genetics happening. her mother had powers, so claire has powers. micah's parents have powers, so he has powers. (i believe that the theft scenario was a set up for micah to go evil, or at the very least struggle with good and evil. whats more heartbreaking for a parent than watchign their kid go evil?) this could mean that many more characters ahve powers than we thought possible. the most noticeable two? mrs. petrelli, (their mom) and hiro's dad (george takei). im not sure what or even if theyll get powers, but i think they will.
moving on to hiro, i think linderman wont give him the sword. he may have to steal it to get it, and the only way he'll be able to steal it? using his powers of course. will it work? wont it? who knows whatll happen.
i also dont think that peter is gonna blow new york sky high. hes the voice of reason in the petrelli family, contrary to it being nathan. nathan is trying to contain everything and hide the truth, while peter is trying to show the world. for him to blow up new york, he would need to be in the presence of ted sprague, i think. and maybe sylar. invisi-joe seems sneaky, and im not sure if hes on the up and up. possibly could be working for linderman? why else would he be laughing in the dream peter has?
i bet that claire and that one kid, whos name ive totally forgotten are gonna get together. that may also prompt her to leave home, since we see her in new york in the dream, which im betting will end the season with everyone there. this should be an interesting season.
people im betting who will die by season's end
ando-useful friend, but kinda useless. may accept the offer to go back to japan.
isaac-hes not used all that often, though his ability is pretty sweet. his last gasp will be to finish a painting of the future as a message. possibly with his blood. it will also show hiro that once agian, things cant be changed.
niki-shes good, and a good actress, but her death may set things in motion, like forcing dl to deal with his past and making micah evil.
sylar-hes evil, but not on often enough for him to be a several season villain. then again, who would have said that about spike? him dying may stop peter's explosion, but how would they kill him?
people i bet will live by season's end
hiro-youd kill the fan favorite?
claire-the other fan favorite? plus shes died once and came back to life already. she has more to offer, otherwise why would "save the cheerleader, save the world" be there?
micah-you cant kill a kid on tv, unless you can show the kids the next hitler (see buffy as proof). may go evil as a result of niki's death.
matt-represents the everyman in us, who keeps screwing up things yet is still able to barely hold on. he'll live another season.
thoughts?
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
and i just found out who's playing linderman this season. apparently he left fantasy island and a crazy russian polyglot mob in order to enter a nexus, only to become a mob boss in the desert. thats right, its Malcom McDowell!!! squee!
