Spoilers for Next Week’s Dying of the Light
Uh oh. Kristin over at E! Online has once again put out a list of things to expect from next week’s episode, “Dying of the Light”, and they involve a couple of deaths by our Heroes. Real, never-to-come-back deaths, apparently. (Then again, this is Heroes, and who really dies on this show, really?) But according to Kristin, these deaths will be “real”, in the sense that they aren’t gimmick deaths (kinda like Ando’s?), but I’ll believe it when I see it. As always, do not read on unless you with to know.
From Kristin over at E! Online:
A Hero Is Going Six Feet Under! And I think most of you will be OK with who this soon-to-be-dead hero is. She (yes, she) has been grating on my nerves personally since day one of this-here season three. (Mostly because I want her off of my hot specimen of a former human.) Is that too obvious? Whoopsie!
A Villain Is Going Six Feet Under! And the real crime? Poor fella just got out of there…Yes, a villain you and I both love is going down next week, and once he’s gone, he’s not coming back. Sadness.
Mohinder Goes From Bad to Worse: No one knows what he plans to do with those cocoons, but he wants to add two more—he’s thinking of putting in a Nathan-Tracy duplex. Ruh-roh.
Claire Discovers Why She’s Special: Remember when Uncle Sylar cut off the top of her head and told her she was “different”? Before too long we will learn why and how that special-differentness came to be, and you will not be surprised to learn that the reason has everything to do with Grandma Angela, Grandpa Arthur and the whole previous corrupt generation of Heroes. (Think back to when Kaito Nakamura handed off Baby Claire to HRG.)
I haven’t a clue what she means by the Claire is special paragraph, but the first two seems obvious: Maya and Adam Monroe are going to die in “Dying of the Light”.
I’m kind of surprise about Maya, since she was starting to grow on me (or at least, she’s not nearly as annoying now), but killing off Adam Monroe would seem to be kind of hard, unless they slice off his head, which I believe is the only way to do it. Then again, Adam Monroe has the makings of a pretty formidable villain for Hiro, so would they really kill him off … permanently?
But then again, this is Heroes, and who really stays dead on this show…?
I hope Maya actually dies.. lol. Also, I have no feelings for Adam. I neither hate nor like him. I dunno how they’re going to kill him though. It should clear up some questions in doing so though.
Also, I knew it was Claire that was the Light. lol. When Kaito said that “The Light” had to be protected, it was definitely Claire. “Save the cheerleader, save the world” is definitely going to come back.
I completely agree. “Save the cheerleader, save the world” is in my opinion one of most clever taglines. I’m pretty sure that part of heroes isn’t over yet. I have a feeling that in the end Claire’s life will have a much larger role in saving the world..
…and MAYA?! what!? nooo I too was actually starting to warm up to her..and am I the only one that thinks she has HUGE potential for villain status OR bad A hero status?? Her ability just seems too large for the heroes universe to just kill her off so soon. Personally I think Mohindersaurus Rex should be the one to get the boot..his story just seems to be going nowhere…he failed at the formula and turned himself into a deteriorating bug/reptile thing. End of story?
I hope its true that maya dies. I never liked her, not in season 2, and not now. She gets in the way of everything, and her character has no interesting storylines. But I don’t want Adam to die!! I really liked his character, and I though they could take him in an interesting direction!
Personally, I think the Mohinder storyline is getting really interesting. Just like Dr. Conners/Lizard! Mohinder WAS my fave character without abilities, and now he’s going to be a reluctant, reclusive villain?! Sweet, I’ll go with that.
I agree that Maya was VERY low on my fave character list during Season 2. Then again, what was all that great during S2, except introducing Adam? Then “Mayinder” came along, and, well.. I did start to like Maya a little bit. It would be an interesting twist if they recruited her for Pinehearst LOL. That’s wicked
. Unfortunately, looks like she’ll be gone next week (3×06). Nooo!! They had a lot of potential w/ her storyline (ex. fight claire??).
And Adam’s gone again?? Grrr… he’s my fave villain LOL. But I must say, Sylar/Gabriel “rehabbing” is the coolest ever. I love plot twists like that. Saving Claire 2 weeks after almost killing her?? Sylar saving Angela from Peter?! Too cool.
Ok, I’ve put enough to fill this whole page now LOL.
well, i believe it was leaked somewhere that papa patrelli’s power was the ability to remove others abilities… aka make special people not special.
if thats the case, it would explain why maury is so scared of him. and why in angela’s dream of a “possible” future all our ‘good-guy’ heroes get killed, by lets face it second rate super-humans.
maya dying… thats good she hasnt really added anything to the show. we need a PERMANENT death. it’ll be good, let the bloodbath continue.
adam monroe dying, ugh… hes such an interesting character,..no so much a villian as an extremely misguided anti-hero. my guess is papa petrelli uses his power to take away his ability to heal and has him offed as a threat. thats how he’ll die.
if that is papa patrellis power… we NEED the haitian NOW! where is he???
and where is elle, this whole time. they better come up with a good side story for her.
i also agree, claire is the ‘light’ and is key to saving the world
I don’t think that Arthur Petrelli’s ability is taking away powers…Maury Parkman HAD to read his mind to communicate with him while he was in bed at the end of this last episode.
Man why maya is gonna die? She’s the most beautiful in the cast. its so sad…im in love with maya
and for adam….it was a good villan. But a hope that he got an interesting dead. i said that because the death of DL…..( the worst death is see on the series)
I agree with you Saku!! i think she is the hottest chick in the show!!! my least favorite character is Hiro. YES, i said it Hiro.
How could you dislike Hiro? He is the comic relief in the show!
I think Its not Maya who dies.. its Claire real mom
Meredith!! Of course!! Thats genius!! I agree, it’s way too soon to get rid of Maya–she’s a good character; she just has crappy storylines!
If it’s Meredith then why did they mention that the person to be killed has hooked up with someone who used to be normal? That’s not Meredith, she kissed Doyle but that’s hardly hooking up. It’s clearly Maya, and I’m glad as it would appear the writers have been listening (finally!), now to get them to return Monica and I’ll be somewhat happy again.
not taking away powers like the haitians abilities to negate powers… take away, permanently. and just like any one elses ability it only ‘turns on’ when he wants it to.
hes allowing maury to keep his powers so he can talk to him.
This show just gets better and better! I hope the ratings get back up where they should be! It really sucks that Mia is going to kick the bucket, She finally stopped whinning about her power and had a chance to start kicking some butt!! Plus she is super HOT!!! I really like that this season were seeing new sides of Peter and Sylar!! Pretty cool that they are still polar opposites!! If Sylar has a hint of good then Peter must show a darker side! If they were a team they would be unstoppable, But its their destiny to always be against each other! Very cool!!
I know isnt it awesome!!!! I love the plot twists in this show. only the directors, writers, creators, etc. of this show could turn one of the most evil people into a good guy!!!!! I wish i could create a story like this but im doomed to deal with writing simple stories that might not even get published…..
I am SO crushing on the good cop bad cop thing going on with sylar!!!! whose the mom to his kid tho? or does he adopt????
Peter is sooo evil right now but i guarantee he’ll eventually join sides with sylar it would make the show that much better if maybe they ganged up to save angela…….
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LOOK ON THE FACES OF ANYONE WHO GOT IN THERE WAY????
way hottt!!!
I think Adam will die, because papa patrelli will take his healing abilities away after he uses Adams blood to get himself out of that hospital bed.
Author’s power is to take away other’s power permanently? Does he absorb the power and keep it for his use while the other Heroe permanently loses it?
O think that taking away other people’s abilities cant be Papa Petrelli’s power because how and why would he stop Angela from moving without Maury or Matts abilities and besides he wouldnt be able to kill Peter with that i mean how would he take away his abilities if Peter could just take his and do the same to him?
hi
it could have been maury who paralyzed angela as “arthur”?
At some point we’re supposed to learn why Maya is there at all.
Exactly why she isn’t dying
Watch series 2 dvd extra’s, it was hinted at that Maya was going to cure the virus in series 2 but due to the writers strike the virus was never released; Peter stopped it from hiding the ground instead.
a few thoughts :
first, if arthur’s power is to remove others’ powers, then that would be a genetic link with both peter (who absorbs powers) and sylar (who understands them). i think that for the “pure bloods,” i.e., those who natively and genetically have powers, there are a finite number of mutations that themselves vary in degree from person to person (maury, angela, claude deveraux are all telepaths of a sort, while claire, adam, linderman all have a form of healing, and elle, meredith, and radiation guy are all conductors, etc.). this might me that arthur and the haitian could be subractors or negators or some such. synthetic powers are more diverse, perhaps, and less stable, less controllable.
however, second, i’m not sure that being a subtractor is arthur’s power. remember in the graphic novel, the war buddies series, that arthur was noted to always have good luck and to beat the odds, and later linderman noted to nathan that papa petrelli was a very powerful man. i think arthur’s power is something like being able to manipulate chance or to understand causality or envision all possible outcomes, and he doesn’t have to use strings to do it–he can beat the odds because he can understand and control probability, just like his son sylar can understand and manipulate mechanism and causality.
now either way, if you think about his dna mingling with angela’s, then both peter and sylar sort of make sense (assuming of course that one or either of them is actually a petrelli and not, say, a linderman). and if you think about arthur and angela playing on the same team along with linderman and the rest of the company, then you can see why they would be such a powerful couple.
so that begs the more important question. long ago nathan said that his father had always fought against linderman, and then papa petrelli “dies” mysteriously, and angela implants the memory of a desperate suicidal schizophrenic in the minds of her sons. angela and linderman were obviously conspiring against arthur, and he against them. something happened in that bizarre love triangle, and it has to do with the company decision to separate the formula. we still have a lot to learn about the company, its founding, its relation to adam, and this schism …
the end.
How do you even no that Sylar is Mr Petrelli’s son??????
Half bros mate u doesn’t give away a full son there is just no point 2 it. He is a illegitimate son which is why (I think) she gave him away.
Sorry guys, its not Meredith, its definitely Maya who’s dying. Kristin gives it away when she talks of the dying character having “her hands all over” a not-so-human cast member. It can’t be anyone but Maya unless the spoiler is completely wrong. As far as being teased before the season that Maya and her power would play a bigger role in things, either her death is a catalyst for something big, or whatever plans they had for her were scrapped.
On the series 2 dvd extra’s it was hinted at that Maya was going to cure the virus in series 2 but due to the writers strike the virus was never released; Peter stopped it from hiding the ground instead. So I’m guessing their plans for her were scrapped.
If Arthur Petrelli’s power is to remove power from the Heroes, wouldn’t it be so ironic that he is the founder of the company that will provide powers to normal human beings?
I’m hoping as the episodes develop that he reveals the true extent of his powers. Something sinister and truly gruesome that no Petrelli bloodline can match.
Regarding the possible death of Maya, I think she has an awesome ability. It’s a shame her character just never caught on with the fans. I just pray that whoever tTim Kring and the writers decide to kill, remains dead.
“no Petrelli bloodline can match. ”
– if we remember from season two,there was a scene where mrs.petrelli said Peter’s the strongest hero. so what you’re thinking is far from happening
Well what everyone has said has really been interesting. Now here is a thought for ya. Is it possible that Adam is the reason for most all these Heroes walking around now. I only say this because he is the oldest natural born person with special powers (that we know of). Lets face it, he does love to get drunk and also get freaky with the ladies. I mean 400 years is a long time. Think how many people he could have knocked up in that amount of time. Its very possible that Adam is Papa Petrelli’s great,great,great,great,great,great,great, grandpa. A little food for thought there. At any rate if he does die I will miss him he has grown on me. He is funny as hell and is super smart.
As for Mya she is fine as hell, with a weird power that I never understood. I mean her eyes turn black and kills everyone around her. Its kinda a lame power, but if it evolved she could target and just kill anyone she wanted no problem even Clair. Its true though she has no story this season other than to be hot and get done by the Doc. So it doesn’t surprise me at all they would have done this.
One more thought for ya. Since peter met his future self he absorbed 4 years worth powers from him including putting himself in someones body and other things only writers can imagine. I hope they play off that. Plus WTF there are tons of times peter could have just made himself invisable and get away from trouble and be sneaky like Claude but I guess the all powerful peter has to be somewhat dumb of his powers otherwise whats the show for its his weakness…..until sylar
Interesting points. I have to admit that’s a good angle to explore.
I did get a good laugh when he called Hiro a Japanese Nazi! LOL!
“Since peter met his future self he absorbed 4 years worth powers from him including putting himself in someones body and other things only writers can imagine.”
interesting.
Hi new to this whole chat thing on here.. just thinkin of the way adam dies… remember that pic a while back of him as an old person? what if his powers were reversed somehow and he aged rapidly hence killing him.. adam dies of old age?? Thoughts please?
Awesome idea. I like that. Remove his power and he suddenly ages into oblivion. Very interesting.
oh damn.
ando died last chapter right?
…
Adams powers being just removed and him aging rapidly is a class way for him to die.Good comment Oliver!!
Papa Petrelli has alot to bring to this season, least explain how Sylar fits into the family!!!! who’s older-him or peter? why did angela give him up for adoption and not peter r nathan?
Didnt Angela always say that Peter was like his father, in season 1 when he believed he could fly(but it was nathans ability) and he was in hospital-am I right here-I havent got the boxsets so not 100%!!
Also can any1 explain how peters power actually works for me, how he can just ‘absorb’ others abilities. I get that Slyar has to examine the brain and figure the power out before he can do it-smart boy, but peter hasnt a clue, he can just do it!!! don’t get it!!
I think the writters just don’t know were to bring Mya’s story now so she’s getting the bullet, she did nothing but whine and cry last season ‘gabriel, sniff sniff boohooo, allahandro sniff sniff boohoo….’
i have a hunch that sylar was given up at birth because Angela was havin it out with hiro’s dad or sumthin along that line…..she did say in season 1 “i havent slept with with him in a long while..” and she had this distanced look on her face. i dont think she wanted Mr. Petrelli to know about the afair…..of course that would mean that hiro’s got a brother………….. Geezem Crow!!! this show is so great with such twists!!
