holy tense endings, batman!

Good call, Nat – and a great question. I think there’s more to Molly than meets the eye.

And that raises another question: to we really know who the “Boogeyman” is? After all, Molly never really clarified who it is, exactly, so….?

Molly has definitely set us up for a new villain that is potentially worse than Sylar. Sylar, she could locate. This new baddie – when she looks for him, he sees her. Creepy.

Sprite said to me that she was waiting for Nathan to decide to be a good guy. While Peter has already absorbed his fire and could potentially have flown on his own (though maybe not while trying so hard to prevent himself from exploding) his sacrifice was unnecessary, but did provide him with redemption.

Since Peter could potentially fly on his own, and we didn’t see a close up of the bomb, it’s possible that they split up. Peter could fly using Nathan’s power, explode using Ted’s, and even if he falls to the ground heal using Claire’s. Also, it provided a way to let Nathan feel his power wasn’t totally useless.

With the trail of blood to the manhole, we’re left to assume that Sylar, like the cockroach on the manhole cover, is really hard to kill and still alive. My theory is that Peter will remain in the story at least as long as Sylar does.

Tim Kring said when Peter and Sylar first went at it in Mohinder’s place that there was a showdown between them coming. Was this it? Somehow I expected more from these two overpowered characters, and I have hopes we’ve yet to see their final confrontation.

Very intrigued to know more of the backstory of Linderman, the Petrellis, and Charles Deveaux. I wonder if the weird dreams Peter had at the start of the series were part of Charles’s power? Also, when he blacked out in Texas and had his vision of the future, seems like the same deal as when he visited Charles in the dream/memory.

Some more details were provided in the online graphic novels about the Linderman-Petrelli connection, but nothing to really explain mom. Nor did I see anything to reveal dad Petrelli’s potential power that Linderman hinted at.

I’m bummed that Wireless got so little time in the show, despite the role the character played in the online novels. I hope they do more with her next season. With what she did in the comic, did Peter really blow up at all, or was the explosion we saw in the sky something else entirely?

I was so nervous when Ando went off after Sylar. Knowing that he’s supposed to be dead in 5 years time, I was shouting at the TV that I didn’t want to see him get killed by Sylar. Thank goodness Hiro’s powers didn’t fail him. I loved how the two of them appearing in the office in Tokyo didn’t really phase anybody there.

What happened to the Haitian?

I must say that as a season finalé for the show, it wasn’t all that bad. But I was completely disapointed by the ending of Vol. 1 (not the beginning of Vol. 2, although I sat there wondering more along the lines of “what the heck was up with that” than “Holy crap, I can’t wait until next season!!!”).

I was expecting this epic battle of good vs. evil. One of those 10 min. fights. And what do we get? Peter runs off virtually into a corner to pout about his about-to-go-nuclear situation while Hiro pops in, stabs Sylar through the chest (one of the low moments for me special effects wise) and we’re pretty much done with it. Huh?!? Oh well.

Questions, however:

1. If everyone is sitting around the plaza when the police start to arrive, how come nobody sees Sylar actually moving? Or opening a manhole cover? Or slipping into said manhole cover?

2. As for Heroes: Origin’s, that’s not covering Vol. 2, is it? I thought it was just a seperate side story or set of stories about the other non-main characters in the story as they gear up for either the end of Vol. 1 or the beginning of Vol. 2. Thoughts?

3. If big bro can fly high and fast, why not pick up li’l bro, fly upwards really quickly, throw/drop him, fly really fast to another location, watch your li’l bro explode, then catch li’l bro as he’s falling back towards the earth? I know, I know, I look too deep into things. Oh well.

Well, at least I’ll have Lost to keep me busy over the summer while I wait for Heroes to continue…. Oh crap, it’s over. Well, I’ll have Studio 60 then…. Cancelled? CRAP! What about Drive? Son of a…. You mean I actually have to get out of the house once in a while?!? Man, what a jip!

“And the Hatian was killed a few episodes ago, from what I can recall.”

The Haitian was only killed in the future that never ended up happening. He’s still alive in the present, I’m pretty sure.
