My Heroes

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Let me say that again cause I don't think you heard me. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Unless you: have no pulse, have something against good TV or are Omish and believe NBC is a byproduct of one of the devils left lieutenants, you probably know about the smash hit show Heroes. The show is so involved their website have websites. And those websites have mysteries and easter eggs galore. Subplots, online comic books and videos allow the viewers and fans to absorb ever facet of the World of Heroes.

Recently, for the last 5 episodes of the season, they've started something asking people to give their theories of what might be up next for the the future episodes and the future of the show... needless to say there have been some very entertaining responses like this one. I guess this will be my pulpit then. I shall read from the first book of ROGUE.

The latest questions on everyones mind is who will stop the bomb and how will it be done. Basically the end of the series questions. Tim Kring, the creator, has been said to hate to string the audience along for to long without a sense of closure. Every episode has had a satisfying feel to it. That said now it is time to assess the story directly.

First some other questions:

DADS Clash!!! Nathan versus Bennett.
We all want to see Nathan drop Bennett 30 stories in the middle of the desert, BE HONEST. But dad wise? I know who Claire would choose and thats Peter but Nathan hasn't had a chance to be a dad really, and while he should be given it Bennett has him out matched in this one the way sylar had peter out matched in their fight... by pure experience. Yeah he's done some dirt Mr. B but he always protected his family, even from himself.

Titans clash!!! Sylar vs Peter
I know this episode aired and its kinda stupid to comment on it now but alot of people saw this going the other way and while I WANTED Peter to win I had to cop to the fact that he was just out matched in this one. Peter has every single power he has come across, yes he got it all, from Healing, telekinesis, cloaking, time-space manipulation, flight, teleportation, clairvoyance. Theoretically even in the fight he picked up what ever Syler stole, superhearing, metalmelting, supermemory, that teleportation thing he doesn't need that Sylar does. I'm not saying Peter isn't all powerful but... Sylar has 2 things on him, Bloodlust and Experience. If you really think about it peter only has 3 to 5 powers he knows how to draw on (Cloak, TK, Flight, Healing, and Clairvoyance) . Without our main man CLAUDE to help him he wasn't able to control what he has. Hence he was made short work of. It was kinda cheap the way they did it but ... whatayagonnado...

The Big ONE!!! Can Sylar Be Stopped And who will stop him?
At this stage in the game its pretty obvious but people still hold out hope for Peter being their messiah. Somethings are clear though. They are going to stop the bomb cause it would cost to much money to do post apocolypse next season. Peter survives cause they invested alot in him already. Now story wise people are swearing by Peter but for this situation we need a "HIRO"(with a side order of Ando) These 2 are the only ones who have seen the future and can effect the proper change. If the future is changed it will be through their actions. And certain steps need to be taken as well....
1) Sylar can't kill the shapeshifter or he'll live to haunt another season. (this will happen probably)
2)Ted Sprauge can not meet Peter or be killed by Sylar(we know one of these happen anyway) Ted himself can be the bomb but we all doubt it. Despite his self image he's gaining more control than Peter would have if he just picked it up.
3)Peter has to team up with Hiro in the final battle in some way shape or form. This is just cause people are clamoring for it. They still haven't given up on having an expensive movie budget battle.
4)I really hate this part but, either Ando must kill Sylar because Hiro gets squimish or Ando Must Die to give our HIRO the proper motivation to kill Sylar in a fit of focused RAGE. Hate to see Ando go you know but there it is.
The ending is written and HIRO and ANDO possess the script, and so what Sylar's a powerhouse that can see the future, he won't stop the ultimate otaku fanboy Hiro. I think part of the reason he visits his mother is because he knows hes gonna die. Sides next season's nemesis will probably be "Linderman and his company" so theres no reason to keep this one dimensional enemy around anymore... I could be wrong but he needs a new purpose and more depth if hes still hanging on next season.

And BRING CLAUDE BACK DAMMIT.... ;-j
