The Seven Mysteries of ‘Four Months Later’

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Ok, so Four Months Later was awesome, right? I’ve almost lost count of the number of major talking points and mysteries..so I’ve compiled a list of what I think are the most important and intriguing mysteries raised from the episode and I’ve put them in a poll:

Mystery #1: Who is ‘The Hood Guy’?

“The Hooded Guy”

This one has fans across the Interweb speculating like there’s no tomorrow! Fans have dubbed this person “The Hooded Guy” – but is it even a ‘guy’? Could it perhaps be a woman? Maybe it’s someone we’ve already seen from last season? Hmm..it’s a mystery all right!

Mystery #2 Can he be trusted? Can he turn a person to Gold?

Midas Touch

Dubbed “Midas Man” by fans, just what is the true nature of his power..could he turn a human into Gold!? And most importantly, can he be trusted?

Mystery #3 Nathan’s Reflection

Nathan’s reflection

Another shocker! Nathan sees a slightly deformed image of himself when he looked in the mirror. Is this psychological trauma? Does it have anything to do with the explosion? Or is it related to the virus? This one will run and run..

Mystery #4 Will Kaito Live?

Will Kaito Live?

Surely Kaito can’t die..not yet?

Mystery #5 Where’s has Peter been/Nature of his new powers?

Where’s Peter Been?

Peter has a brand new ability and he doesn’t appear to know who or where he is! What is going on with the fans favourite!??

Mystery #6 The nature of Maya’s power?

Gift or Curse?

Perhaps the most tragic ability that we have seen so far – Without her brother Alejandro, Maya seems unable to prevent the death of those around her..but why does her power affect others like this and why do they bleed from the eyes?

Mystery #7 Can West be trusted?

Can West be trusted?

West seems a bit too pushy for some peoples liking..whatsmore you don’t spy on a girl when she’s in her room! What do you think? Can he be trusted..or does he work for the company??

Heroes Clues: “Four Months Later”

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Heroes-Hype! Presents: Heroes Clues 

Below are screencaps and analysis of key aspects and potential clues from episode 2.01: “Four Months Later”.

Mohinder giving lecture on the virus

Mohinder’s projection demonstrates regeneration and refers to ‘MHC’ – which is an abbreviation for Myosin Heavy Chains. In a nutshell Myosins are a group of proteins which are are responsible for the single/multicellular organism ability to move independently and sponteaneously.  It would appear that Mohinders slide shows an example of the rapid growth (or regeneration) of such cells. This would perhaps allude to Claire’s ability and one of Peter’s ‘borrowed’ abilities.

Map

This slide is similar to his father’s map seen in season 1, which shows the location and details of all known ‘Heroes’.

Bob observing lecture/Mohinder on paper

One of our readers asked me who the person on the paper was -I ca confirm that it seems to be Mohinder’s picture on his lecture sheet. So no conspiracy there.

Wanted: Maya & Alejandro

English translation: “Wanted: They are sought, sought by Homicide. If you’ve seen these people, please contact the national police.”

Boogey Man/Symbol

A, B and E are the images that Molly drew – presumably the ‘boogeyman’ that inhabits her nightmares. Notice they all have the ‘Symbol’between their eyes. Both Kaito and Angela Petrelli (C & D) also have the symbol drawn between their eyes. What is the connection between this ‘boogeyman’ and Kaito/Angela? It would appear that they/the company therefore know who the ‘boogeyman’ is. Is he linked to the person who pushed Kaito off the building?

Ando bumps into Nathan

By request – Yup, it is Nathan who Ando bumped into.

Curse of Maya

A, B, C & D shows blood seaping from the eye’s of the people Maya was left alone with. This is much worse than any Subconjunctival Haemorrhage! From what I gather she needs her twin brother Alejandro to be with her in order to negate the negative effect of her own ability. It is not yet clear whether Alejandro himself has a tangible ability or whether, as twin, his ability reigns Maya’s. Furthermore we do not yet know whether Maya is able to inflict herself  with this ability – though t is clear that she is terrified of what she has and might continue to do to people. Let’s hope her and Alejandro don’t leave each others side again..lest til she is able to control her talent.

Mystery Person..

The mystery person who was the ‘last person’ of the ‘remaining 7′ who Kaito expected to kill him. It is not yet clear who this is, but it’s reasonable to suspect that it could be someone we have already seen in season 1. It could also be a woman. One of our readers suggested that it could be his daughter, however from the hands the person appears to be Caucasian.

Nathan appears different in mirrors

Very Nikki/Jessica-like..only not as attractive. Just what has happened to Nathan!? ‘A’ shows him looking in the mirror (which is slightly cracked) and half of his face appears to be either burned or mutated. No doubt part of the effects of Peter/the explosion. It would appear that only Nathan can see himself like this..is it in his mind? or does he literally exist within 2 realms, which two different features? My bet is that he is mutating and this mutation has affected his mind, which appears to be fractured.

It’s worth considering whether this is connected to the ‘virus’ that Mohinder forewarns..

Peter’s latest ability

Peter displays his new ability – a fireball/sonic-boom type skill. He doesn’t, however, appear to be in control of this ability at all – it was as if someone else was controlling his action – Peter even looked at his hand as if to say ‘that wasn’t me!’.

It is not yet clear who or what he could have absorbed such a power from, though it’s likely that the people who imprisoned him in the cargo hold have something to do with it. Unless of course this is Peter’s reaction to the ‘virus’ that Mohinder warns of?

Yamagato Fellowship

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Ok..so this is cool.  Yamagato Fellowship is a site which has only really been around for a short while, however I thought i’d point it out for those of you who are unaware of it’s presence. It’s like a graphical documentary which allows us fans to explore the legend of Takezo Kensei.

Head on over to http://www.yamagatofellowship.org to check it out.

By the way it is an official site..but beware of spoilers, cos it delves into some of the themes from the upcoming season.

George Takei: Cult Icon

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

George TakeiDigital Spy have  named actor George Takei, who portrays Kaito Nakamura in Heroes, as their latest Cult Icon. In particular they laud him for his characters ‘long con’ and swordsmanship.

Okay, so perhaps Mr Sulu is deserving of his own Cult Spy Icon recognition, but that time will just have to wait! For actor George Takei’s performance on Heroes is simply too legendary to ignore

At first he’s introduced to us as a strict businessman, trying to coax his son back to the family business in Japan with some misguided intentions. Alas, Hiro tricks him into giving his brainiac sister the job instead and the family issue is seemingly solved so the cheerful tourist can continue on his mission.

But – it was all a big con from Kaito! The clever swine is soon seen in flashback in the company of Mr Bennet and Thompson, linking him to the creepy organisation that lies behind Primatech Paper.

So with revelations that make Keyser Soze weep, Kaito Nakamura has defied typecasting, age and his initial characterisation to become a true legend. Here’s hoping he’s back for the second season of Heroes, if only to show us that he’s actually a skilled ballet dancer…

A well deserved award methinks. of course it’s not a ‘real’ award, but it’s a nice acknowledgement for the Startrek and Heroes icon.
