Heroes: Nicely wrapped up but leaving you wanting more.

Spoiler alert for those that haven't seen the last episode on Monday night.


So Heroes (the best show on TV) has ended the first Volume of it's Graphic Novel for TV essentially. It all came down to this: The bad guy gets killed by a True Hero finding the nerve to do what needs to be done no matter the cost. Another Hero makes the same sacrifice but to save an entire city (the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few or the One.....). Questions about who is really who and who is coming back. Oh yeah, and who really is that Masked Samurai? Here's my Theories:

Linderman, Mr. Petrelli, Mother Petrelli, George Takei and Simone's Father were all part of a 70's Super Hero group that somehow got disbanded and the individual purposes of the team bumped heads with the groups purpose. Mother Petrelli is pure manipulative Evil. She really was insisting the bomb go off in New York and that Nathan become the City's Messiah. The little girl Molly says there is a person she can track, but doesn't want to because when she sees that person in her mind he "sees her back!!" I think Mother Petrelli is really the one pulling the strings and it wasn't Linderman who was the head Villan. She is in control of the Agency that was tracking down the Heroes that Noah Bennet worked for. I also think that her "power" is that she isn't human. Hiro's father always told him a tale about Kensei and the Dragon....I think Mother Petrelli is the Dragon. In Asian mythos Dragons would often take the form of a Female Human to fool mortal Samurai. Just as I predicted, Nathan took the moral high ground and rescued his brother from blowing up and destroying New York by flying him to basically outer space (or the line between space and the ozone layer). Nathan has shown supersonic flight capability before and he sacrificed himself to save New York. My friend Brian suggests that Nathan may not have been vaporised as a result of being a ground zero of a nuclear blast. I'm not sure if Peter has enough control to extend his regeneration powers to others. Claire can't so I'm assuming Peter can't. Therefore Nathan is blowing in the wind (actually floating is space as little bits of dust) and Peter is stuck floating in orbit regenerating.......they may have him end up on the international space station.......somehow Peter is coming back. Parkman took four to the chest courtesy of Sylar but I think he will be okay. Hell DL sat around with a gut wound for a bit and he's good. Nikki and Jessica have merged into one and she's now She Hulk. Micah is the machine man....what a cool power. Missing are the Haitian and Invisible Boy. Hiro proved he had the guts to do what needed to be done as he ran Sylar through with a Samurai Sword. He gets thrown by Sylar as an after thought and teleports randomly to Feudal Japan. After all is said and done, Sylar's body was missing. There is a big, bloody drag mark (not crawl mark, Sylar was definitely dragged) leading to the sewers....then a roach emerges....was that symbolic or just a way to creep folks out? I think symbolic but I don't know how yet. Who dragged Sylar down to CHUD world??? I think it was Invisi Boy. I think he's still fighting the bad fight. Now for Hiro. He drops onto the ground with a Samurai Army advancing on him on one side, and what appears to be Kensei on the other. One good look at Kensei's eyes behind his mask and I swear it's George Takei. Which makes sense. All those stories of Kensei Hiro's Dad told him as a boy were basically about himself. Hiro's Dad is Kensei and he's immortal or slow aging at the least. Volume 2 has already started well and I hope it proceeds to be just as good as Volume One.

God I love this show!!!

Ciao for now.
