How Did D.L. Really Die? And Will Claire Finally Be Relevant Again?
By Sam | November 6, 2007 (11:01 pm)
By now anyone who watches Heroes should know that next week’s episode, “Four Months Ago”, will fill in a lot of details about what happened to our heroes at the end of Season 1 and when we rejoined them in Season 2. The biggest question most Heroes fans are asking themselves is: “So how did D.L. die?” We’ll find out soon enough, but Kristen over at E! Online has a couple of hints. And oh yeah, there’s something about Claire finally becoming relevant to the show again. Who would have thunk?
About D.L.’s death in “Four Months Ago”:
We also learn that D.L. did not die when we thought he did but rather indirectly at the hands of Niki’s new alter ego: a naughty school girl. (I know. Sign you fellas up for freeze frame on that!)
Wha? “Niki’s new alter ego”? So Jessica is gone, and replaced by another one?
Then there’s this about Claire:
Claire’s got some serious mojo (read: blood) that can indeed save the world. You didn’t think that good ol’ slogan of yesterseason was already played out, didya? Long live the bloody good cheerleader who can save the world! And in fact, I’m told she’ll rescue at least two main characters in the coming month. Righteous.
Finally, Claire will become relevant to the Heroes universe once more besides just pandering to the “youth demo” by NBC. Can we PLEASE ditch the high school setting now, Tim Kring? Pretty please with cherry on top?
And for the girls out there, there’s also something about Peter and Elle kissing. Eek.
In this episode, you fall head over heels for Kristen Bell as Elle, because she’s hilarious and mischievous and just all-around awesome. And, oh yeah, did I mention she and Milo kiss?!
But apparently they won’t be “hooking up”. Read the rest of it for yourself here.
Leigh - Really good point #4 about how Arthur says that he gave Daphne her powers. Someone else mentioned - ...
You can't kill Clair, she is the show!! 
when is the season will be released?because i bought a dvd...from season 1-3....i was not contented to movie..so i ...
If they loose their powers forever they just have the formula, but it's risky. 
hi all. FRED angela has only one power, seeing the future, and the reason why arthur free her was that ...
Niki has a new alter ego? Dumb. Her new alter ego is a naughty school girl? Even worse.

LMAO!!! Are they serious with Niki’s new alter ego ? I guess writers were beginning their strike at this point that’s why they cooked up this one !
Makes excellent revenge strategy for not receiving their demands.

she doesnt have an alterego dont believe it because as quoted in what will happen in this episode:
“D.L. (Leonard Roberts) makes the ultimate sacrifice for Niki (Ali Larter) and Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey).”
So how can an alterego of a niki school girl kill DL when he is sacrafising himself? thats a retorical question btw

I was always curious if part of nikis power had to do with absorbing the identities and powers of those who died around her… like Peter but the person has to be dead. So she took on Jessicas identity when she died and her power (strength) and then Linderman (unbeknownst to us so far) and DL (also unbeknownst to us so far). Just a crazy theory.

Kris, I had the same theory you.
It would be so cool if that happens.
I hope that our theory becomes reality.
Niki Forever!!!

Niki stinks and definatley was irrelavant to the show for like the longest time.

Nikki having a naughty school girl is just plain stupid. I don’t think that’s true. If that is gonna happen, then I have to say Heroes is losing it. Although Ali Larter in a school girl outfit is hot LOL

Niki’s got another alter ego? Cmon, gimme a break…what’s next- Sylar becomes good!!!??
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
Haha, Sylar COULD become good. That’s the beauty - and insanity - of Heroes. I decided long ago to stop making “they could NEVER do that” assumptions, because I always end up wrong!
(Report This Comment to the Mods)
making sylar become good just gonna spil the entire story…come on he is the grand villain in the first season…the very beginning of heroes..
i dunt believe niki gonna has another alter ego.. it just so typical, looks like niki is a crazy person with multiple personalities.

Nikki is over, the Issac painting and the rumors of movie roles make me think she might make it to episode 11, when the chapters switch from 2 - 3, but she will definitely be killed off by the end of chapter 2. Good riddance at that. If the writers introduce another alter ego it will only be to explain DL’s death, and will not continue on.
Also… Nikki isn’t the best on the show, not by a long shot, that title belongs to… HRG!!! (Batman)

I can’t beleive they killed of D.L but that’s how it goes and it was by a new alterego named Gina or Gillian something like that
