- (more for iheartnickcath's info than anyone else) I definitely ship Nathan/Niki. I loved the way he talked her down from charging on Bob. But then again, I've shipped them for a long time -- this season is just the first season where it works for them. Not that I didn't love Niki/DL (comments on which will come later) but since he's dead now -- there ya go.

- It makes me very sad that Niki's dying. I really, really hope they find some kind of cure for her soon.

- Maury Parkman is an asshat. Using DL to get Niki riled up like that? Not cool. Locking Molly in a room? Also not cool. What Matt did to get him and Molly out of the room? Freakin' awesome.

- When Peter remembered Angela? I did a happy flail. A loud, obnoxious happy flail.

- I was kind of ambivalent on Caitlin either way -- but it made me kind of sad that they left her in the future like that. That was really mean. (Can't say I was a fan of Peter/Caitlin though. She was just a good vehicle for the plot, I guess.)

- On that note, about Nathan -- I love his character this season. Badass!Nathan is hot. Last season he was too much of a puppet for other people. This season, he's more of his own person. Which I really like. A lot.

- Also, the fact that Adam is Kensei totally puts a cramp in my Kensei is Papa Petrelli theory. Oh well. I still don't think Papa Petrelli's really dead. And DUDE. What is Angela's power?!?!?!

- Hiro and Ando are ever adorable, and oh, poor Hiro that he had to find out about his dad like that.

- The jury's still out on Mohinder for me. I don't think he's going to be the one to pull the trigger for HRG, but I think he truly just wants to help Niki and is getting his buttons pushed by the wrong people. So I don't know yet.





- The Petrellis were incredibly well cast in my opinion. And I don't mean acting wise, I mean look wise. I was looking at Adrian Pasdar (cuz, umm, guh) and he and Milo have very similar facial structures and jaw lines, and even Cristine Rose (Angela) has the same kind of look to her face -- really well done by the casting directors.





- OK -- I think Hiro is probably destined to become the Desmond Hume of the Heroes fandom. Why, do you ask? Because Desmond is always trying to fix the future. He did it with Charlie all of last season, the countless times that he tried to save his life, even though he eventually failed in the end. Hiro is always going to have some reason to go back into the past and try to fix the future.

I was chatting about this with val25 when I first saw "Four Months Later," and this is what I said to her then:

Basically. Although I have a feeling that when he comes back and finds out his father is dead, he's going to be leaning more toward the reaction of the Future!Hiro that we saw in "Five Years Gone." He's going to want to go back and change things, because he and his father were finally starting to connect, you know?

I think that's probably going to be an interesting point on the show. May show that no matter how much Hiro tries to fix the future, there's always going to be something that draws him to become Future!Hiro.

Now that Papa Nakamura is gone, Hiro wants to go fix it. In "Five Years Gone" we saw a Hiro who was driven by the grief of losing his very best friend, whom he loved like a brother. He was determined to go back into the past, and do his best to fix the future, to keep him from turning into that person. But the future always cause corrects -- Ando may live, but in his place, someone else has to die in order for there to be a balance. A bomb may not blow up NYC, but instead there's another disaster with this time a higher body count, ready to take it's place. It's going to be this endless, vicious circle that Future!Hiro fights so desperately to escape, but in the end keeps sucking him back in again, because there's always going to be something to change.



OK -- I think that's all the analyzing I can spare for today. I have to go take a 9:40 PM exam later. *makes face* Hopefully it should be a quick one though -- easy A -- and I'll be back relatively soon.

Still going to miss House though. *pouts*
