HEROES Changes in Season 2

Where was I?

Tennessee? Middle Tennessee?

I can see Mohinder and Hiro at least carrying over to the new season. I can't see Peter or Sylar living past this season.

Unless Mohinder cured Peter of his absorption power.

But I can see both Petrelli brothers sacrifice themselves, Peter suddenly lost control and begins the reaction, and Nathan will be filmed flying his brother up so that the explosion did not level New York.

Yeah I agree here. Maybe a completely new cast from day one of season two is out of order, but if they do it gradually like ER or Law and Order, they might pull it off.

I mean, come on, name one character from the original cast of Law and Order that's still there -- and I don't count Chris Noth coming back on that crapfest Criminal Intent, because I, well, don't count Criminal Intent as worthy of much of anything. God I hate that show.

I will see you in a which Law and Order is best thread.

I can see a day of reckoning when New York gets nuked by Peter during a fight with Sylar that thins the herd of heroes. Afterwords powers become public knowledge and the Government goes all out to find and control all supers. Hiro and possibly one or two others survive, and try to help new heroes stay away from the Govt and teach them to control their powers.

New York has *already* been saved.

Without Hiro's intervention, Peter Petrelli would not have gone to Odessa Texas in search of the cheerleader.

Claire will intervene and stop her uncle, Peter, from blowing up. She did it last episode - and she'll do it again.

Saving the world had nothing to do with preventing Sylar from getting the power - it was about making sure Claire would be there to save Peter.

The removal of Claire from Odessa to go on the lam and her subsequent search for Peter makes that result possible.

New York has *already* been saved.

That is one of the most cogent arguments I’ve heard about the situation. It even makes sense in the context of Peter’s dream/vision, where in Mark drags Claire away. Perhaps if he cannot (or does not) stop her, she is able to intervene and save Peter, thus saving the day, and New York and so on and so forth.

Though, as a Southerner, I have to wonder if the world would not be better off without New York…

Flippancy aside, there is still the question of whether or not it is possible to change the future in the world of Heroes, specifically in regards to the painting’s Isaac produces. Currently it looks like all of them have come to pass. The only case where it is “iffy” is the one of the cheerleader, dead, with her head open. In that situation, it can be argued it was an image of the cheerleader Sylar did kill, rather than Claire.

If that is the case, then all of the paintings have come true. This suggests that the future is immutable, that images Isaac depicts will happen, regardless of what people do to prevent the events depicted from coming to pass.

So it would not matter if Claire is present or is not present – or even if it is Peter who does the deed. New York City will be destroyed, sooner or later, one way or another.

The only thing Claire may do is be there to save Peter, in the same way he saved her.

P.S. Randolpho, I hear there is going to be a Criminal Intent marathon come up...

I don't think Sylar opened Jackie's head as much as was depicted in the painting. As I recall, he stopped as soon as he realized she wasn't his real target.

The scifi article does not say there will be massive cast changes, just that there will be new characters and a new storyline instead of a continuation of this season.

The way I see it is that this season is about Peter blowing up New York. They will work to resolve that story arc. Next season there will be a new group introduced and as the season progresses, they will come in contact with some of the surviving characters from this season under some other immediate story arc, with the continued buliding of the overarching story of what is happening with the mutants, the involvement of Linderman, Hiro's father and corporation and probably other parties (breeding program vs. protection/racial purification?). In some later season, many of the cast members will return for the final resolution of this story arc.

I don't think Sylar opened Jackie's head as much as was depicted in the painting...

I politely disagree. In any event, I think it is still unclear if the future can be changed.

So, who do you think will live and who will die?

I'm betting Claire, Peter and Hiro live, while Nikki dies. I am certain other characters are going to live and die, but I'm not making an bets on which live.
