- (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*

HA! I loved that episode last night. I squealed when they revealed Kensei to be Adam. I believe my exact words were: no fucking way!!

I disagree with you on what Hiro's ultimate response will be to his father's death. I thought about that a lot last night: will he go back and try to "fix" it, thereby doing some other damage to the timeline? I think not because Ando was also with him in Five Years Gone and I think that Ando might be able to influence Hiro into just letting it be and moving on. That doesn't mean that the future badass!Hiro probably won't still manifest himself, but he might be more inclined to mourn and move on.

And I finally have gotten around to watching the first 20 episodes of last season. This season is finally getting to the point that last season was at and I **LOVE** it. Last night's episode was so kickass, I can't wait to go watch it again.

I usually don't watch Heroes live, I usually download it to watch the next day -- and while I tried not to spoil myself, I did for this. Which I guess didn't give me the same reaction -- it was still pretty freakin' cool.

I'm not sure I agree. Because (and this just came to me as I was thinking about this now) if Bob is right, and Adam Monroe is killing all these people, and if Adam = Kensei, and Hiro finds out that Kensei was the one who killed his father, that's just Kensei making good on his threat that Hiro will suffer. If he finds out that what happened to his father could be the result of what happened between he and Kensei in the past, he's going to be a lot more willing to push the enevelope and try to right things (or at least, how he feels they should be righted.)

That's just my opinion anyway. And while I agree that Ando probably will try and help him move on, he's still going to have to live with the guilt because he feels he caused his father's death.

Very interesting point about Kensei's threat. Do you think he might go back to the point where he messed things up with Kensei? Or to the point where his father dies and confronts Kensei? Kaito's killer did have the same height and build as Adam/Kensei, and that person did get up and walk away from the fall.

Damn, this is going to get so screwed up by the writers' strike! *sob*

I'm not really sure, but I think it would be more interesting to have him go back to the point of Kaito's murder. That would be a pretty interesting stand-off, in my opinion.

Gah, I know. I mean, I support the writers and all, but that was when the season was still kind of "meh" for me. Now it's getting good!

Damnit.

I figure that Hiro learned his lesson with trying to save Charlie, but who really knows.

Yeah, I guess that's true too.

This one might turn out to be a bit more personal though, with the whole Adam/Kensei thing.
