Warning: Possible Spoilers ahead.
OK, so you’ve seen the season finale, right? If so, you know that the lives of three Heroes are in the balance. But who dies and who survives, THAT is the question. Kristen from E! Online thinks she might have an idea of how things might shake up:
NIKI:
Ali Larter: According to Heroes insiders, Niki is not expected to return to the show. But her devilish alter ego, Jessica? Oh yeah, we’ll see her as soon as the show comes back to the beloved airwaves—when the strike is through! At least, that’s the plan according to sources who tell me producers had “done all they could do” with Niki. Micah is not gonna be happy. But at least he’ll have Monica…
ADAM/KENSEI:
David Anders: I’d bet my beloved, signed Hiro poster that Hiro’s sworn nemesis will return. (I’ve seen that ’90s flick The Vanishingand know people can be dug up after being buried alive! Maybe we can even get Kiefer Sutherland to do the digging!) Sources tell me it’s not set in stone, but the tentative plan is for Adam Monroe to be back to torment our favorite squinty teleporter—i.e., the “carp.” Here’s hoping he does.
NATHAN:
Adrian Pasdar: I’ve heard the production and writing staff is somewhat split as to whether Nathan should return to the show. Allow me to be the first to say WTF? Heroes without the brothers would be like Prison Break or Brothers & Sisters without the brothers: a waste of time! Surely Claire’s blood can save her own father, right?! Let’s say a little prayer for the older Petrelli, shall we?
——-
Personally I think they should ditch Niki – she was FAR better in Season 2, and it’s clear that they have no more story left for her – heck, why not kill her off at the end of Season 1 with D.L.?? Whilst they’re at it, PLEASE find a way for get rid of Monica..please?? I hope that Adam survives, his character has slightly redeemed himself after a God-awful ‘Feudal Japan’ arc – surely their are better and more effective ways to navigate to a ‘pay-off’? As for Nathan, well he’s still an interesting character and so I hope he lives – let’s face it, how can he not, considering Peter knows about the wonderful healing properties of Claire’s blood. Unless Kring has written himself into another plot-hole on par with Peter not having the sense to simply WALK THROUGH THE VAULT in order to get the virus (DUH!). Let’s hope that whoever dies and whoever lives, the Heroes producers and writers do not belittle our intelligence. I’m a Heroes fan but I’m from the LOST school, and never have they insulted my intelligence, as much has Heroes!
