Sylar, Peter, and Nathan Back for Season 2, But Not DL?

May 22nd, 2007

The ashes of Peter and Nathan hasn’t settled yet, but we’ve already gotten possible SPOILERS about the upcoming Season 2, namely, Who survives, and who doesn’t, and who is on the fence? According to Eonline’s TV critic and spoiler guru Kristin, that fiery blaze you saw in the skyline over New York City might not be so bad after all…

So who will be returning?

His crimson snail trail to the manhole made that perfectly clear, and I also have it on high authority that Zachary Quinto (Sylar) is a series regular next season. Makes sense, since the guy pretty much stole every single scene he was in tonight, did he not? So creeptastic!

Hmm, I’m not so sure about this. Why bring back the same villain when you have a show that is designed to introduce new villains every season? I like Quinto, but I don’t know if I want to see the same villain for another 24 episodes. And if he does come back, they’ll just end up turning him good, or semi-good, to help battle the “other” bogeyman that Molly mentioned.

And the Petrelli brothers? Matt? Poor D.L.?

I have it on good authority that both Milo Ventimiglia (Peter) and Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) are back next season. I’m also 99 percent certain Greg Grunberg (Matt) is back, but not so sure about D.L. (Leonard Roberts). I have a sneaking suspicion Linderman’s blood or heart may heal him, but that could just be my wishful thinking, for I love Leonard so.

Again, I’m going to be terribly disappointed if they bring Nathan back. Peter is understandable, and even expected. But making Nathan a survivor of that blast will just destroy his character’s redemption arc for me. Matt and DL? I could do with or without. DL in particular has been shamefully ignored in Season 1, resulting in little empathy for his character.

And as for Hiro, as expected, he’s stuck in 17th century Japan, where he will apparently stay for a couple of episodes before making his way back to the present to rejoin the other Heroes.

So what do you think? I don’t like the possibility of too many characters returning. It just doesn’t seem “real” enough, and Tim Kring has always said that he wants the show, despite its fantastical premise, to be more real than not. We’ll see…

“Admit it, Pete, I’m way too handsome to die.”

I don't think this will make the show worse, I think Sylar might join forces with the new Villain. As for DL, in the comics he survived but it's still in recuperation. Nathan being back is a disappointment though, although I don't mind it if he becomes a good guy instead of the politician we all know xD

Allergyboy

Haha! Love that last caption. :)

endymione

cant wait to see nathan back in tights... hihihi...

maybe molly should have more powers more than the rest of them.its a cliche... but its always fun to have someone so small to be so powerful...

i also didnt understand why they have to let the viewers see why sylar became that way... i mean... its like blaming his mom wy he became so evil... why cant they just let it be that sylar is just EVIL... period...

AC

Just because Adrian Pasdar is back doesn't necessarily mean that Nathan is back. You never know how much of the "Five Years Gone" storyline actually changed.

Bones

I think Nathan is dead but as the above poster suggested, his real life person will need to be available (Candice or Sylar as future Nathan). He did win the election after all and he must be explained away if no one fills that Congressional seat, explained away to the voting public that is. Plus, this show likes to go back in time to explain things and he will need to be around for that. Frankly, I hope real Nathan is dead just because it would have been cheesy for him to survive, but the actor is one of the better ones. If Candice or anyone else takes his body shape and acts as Congressman it will be just like Mystique acting as the Senator in XMen. Totally plausible, highly likely, and who cares if they ripped it off. They ripped so much from XMen why stop now. I personally don't care that their creativity is somewhat immature. I think it will get better as they develop new Heroes and and Maybe Season 3 will be called Heroes: Villain Backlash or something cool like that. I like that Sylar's evil was explained rather than just having him be evil. No one is evil for no reason. Even the Devil if you believe in that sort of thing had a reason.

Squid404

Can someone explain to me why Peter couldn't just fly away without Nathan? Didn't he absorb Nathan's power already?

welshcake35

I dont know why exacly but i think it might be because he cannot use two powers simultaneously. Anyone else got any ideas?

matt

I think Peter was to agitated by trying to hold off the explosion to concetrate enough to fly. Still, why would Claire not just shoot him in the head. He would be unconcious (hence no explosion), he would then heal, and would wake up fine. And Nathan would live.

Seems like a much more practical, although less poetic ending.

Aardvark

Peter can use multiple powers simultaneously, but the fact is he has to master his powers and he is still learning most of them. The power he seems to wield the best is invisibility, the only one he had a teacher for. In the finale he was just too freaked out to control any of his powers, why he didn't have another anxiety attack and pass out again I can't say.

I really liked Nathan's character and the journey he had through the show, but for him to survive would ruin his storyline and be nothing more than a sellout to popularity (that means he'll probably be back).

I wouldn't mind seeing Micah back, but not if it means we have to put up with the HORRIBLE Jessica/DL story. Definitly one of the weakest aspects of the show. D.L. had a shot as a character but was sabotaged by being paired with Jessica/Niki. The whole Jessica/Niki thing seemed like pointless time filler to me.

Beth

i think that peter is not capable of using more than one power at a time. i also think that shoot him would have only been a temporary solution. he still has to learn to control that power before he can use it for any good.

and i will be seriously disappointed if nathan lives. i mean, i know the actor will remain on the show, but i think that candice will just slip into his position and body, and eventually sylar, because the future episodes hint very strongly at that. we do need a new villian though. sylar is incredibly well written, but he's gotten too predictable. they need to change it up more. i mean, they made nathan good, and even linderman had some redeeming qualities. one bad guy just isn't enough.

Chris

Peter has trouble controlling his power ie... the meltdown, In my opinion, Nathan and Peter's fraternal bond help them obtain lift off into orbit. Hmmm, bringing back Sylar I guess that would be ok he is an excellent villain but I don't think he should come back and have to share the bogey man spot with someone else. We have enough heroes to follow withouth a league of villains to also have to follow. Less is more.

Haitian guy

You should not bother to consider the many possibilities that could have happened, this way serves the story, story about heroes. Because, everything would be fine, no casualties, no cry , has the haïtian guy appeared. After all he can block powers, peter would not explode, sylar could not kill (plus he has the only power you cannot steal) .
On a completely different subject, it would be nice if we could see the little indian boy again, maybe he is the one molly talked about considering his powers, or maybe he is the one that led peter to M. devaux... I think there is more to him than meet the eyes... him and the haïtian guy are important ...

David

Sylar seems to know how to use the powers as soon as he gets them. I think maybe, he also gains the experience of using the power from eating their brain (or watever he does), and since Peter only has to touch them to gain their power, then he doesn't get the experience of how to control/use the power.

Finnape

if sylar comes back, he might want the power of the "even worse"
guy. Nathan would be fine to have back, althought i doubt it will happen. Mayby he is somewhere with peter and trying to help him control the powers he has.

when does hiro meet the bug, it could be that he can't control his power in that time.

alleeta

I don't see why there is so much trouble with Nathan having possibly survived. All he had to do was take Peter up high enough for NY to be safe, and then put him into a free fall and then move to a safe distance. Peter falls back down (at terminal velocity, which would make for an interesting regeneration.....) and Nathan lands elsewhere.

The two other senarios for the actor being back are quite possible as well, both paintings that we have seen that seem to depict Sylar and Nathan occur in a big office, where Nathan hasn't really been yet, having just been elected. So that future is still possible.

Guess we'll have to wait to find out!

Sheldon

Since Peter was around Hero, Why couldn't he just teleport to a safe place and return if he survived the explosion.

Ziara

First of all, who is this person who is "far worse than Syler?" we think the possibilities are: 1)Peter and Nathan's dad...They never developed his story. He is probably not dead. Plus for him to give birth to individuals as great as Peter and Nathan, he must be pretty POWERFUL - and someone that powerful does not just kill himself; 2)Peter and Nathan's Mom could be the second possiblity. She is so RUTHLESS! She has no concerns about her son Peter dying in the bomb in order for Nathan to be great. I think she has some serious powers that we are not aware of yet. She could easily be the one 'far worse than Sylar'.
What do you guys think?

Finnape

i don't think that the mother is the "true" evil, but the dad might be. Did someone say that we already know the badass?

pinkgirl76

I think it was also noteworthy...although I'm not sure of the significance, that we finally find out that Mr. Bennet's name is Noah...just a thought.

hIRo'S CrAZy

Well to tell you the truth I barely got into Heroes the last two months of the season. I personally got hooked on it. I think Sylar should return same as Peter but Nathan shouldn't. The one thing that I enjoyed yesterday teaser of season two. Season two is going to have glued on your seat with the new villian.
