I can’t believe there’s only the season finale left for HEROES… T__T Anyway, I was ‘bored’ and so I decided to write up on something about the characters. Written below are my thoughts on what the characters have done or not done that frustrates or makes me happy. (SPOILERS!!)
Isaac Mendez
I can’t believe this guy swallows his ‘destiny’ entirely and decides that he shouldn’t do anything to save himself and die. If he wants to die, he can go ahead and die ANY other way, but WHY does he have to die contributing to a bad cause!?! Urgh!! It’s because of his ability that Sylar takes that makes Sylar even crazier than before! GAAH!
Hiro Nakamura
Hiro hardly ever disappoints me. He is the most enjoyable and loving character in all of HEROES, but I’m starting to feel worried about his potential turn in personality. I simply like him the way he is now way more than future Hiro so I can only pray and hope that he’ll forever remain that way.
Ando
Ando has been great. Everything he did now and then has been good. All I hope for him is that he doesn’t go get himself killed on his own accord by challenging Sylar alone.
Peter Petrelli
Peter’s done a couple stupid things. He may have the most badass ability but he currently definitely isn’t worthy of that yet. First off, he sucked badly against Sylar in their first face-off in episode 19. You turned invisible for goodness sake, but you wouldn’t hide somewhere safe or at least face the guy so that you don’t leave your back open to him?? Dying under that shard of glass is one of the most shameful things that can happen to someone with ‘ultimate potential’. He could even deflect the glass shards back at Sylar with his own telekinesis if he’s even thought of it, but alas, this can be easily rationalized by the fact that he’s not adept at controlling his abilities yet and that he might hurt Suresh.
Next, in episode 22 when he was walking down the streets with Claire and Ted, he heard Sylar’s thoughts and knew that they were being targeted. So why is it that you’d still walk right out in the open when you could have easily been invisible?? =_=;; Then, when Ted got caught by the FBI, Peter did absolutely nothing to save him when he had all the powers necessary to do it and ran away with Claire. I suppose it never occurred to him that with Ted singled out Sylar could get him anytime? And Peter’s supposed to be on his quest to save the world. =/ Sigh…
Nathan Petrelli
This guy is simply blinded with ambition. I like how he’s genuinely concerned with the people he love and care for, especially Peter, but ever since he found out that Peter couldn’t die (episode 19), he seems to have dropped that worry and gone back to his secret arrangements with Linderman. Of course, I am well aware that this guy is in a constant dilemma regarding what to do, what he wants to do and what’s right to do. He does not want to sacrifice half the city to ‘save the world’ as Linderman puts it, but at the same time he can’t refuse the temptation of becoming congressman and eventually president. And now that he knows his mother is a part of all this, he is influenced and pressured even more to follow the ultimate plan accordingly. Even then, it saddens me to see how much he disappointed Hiro who had so much faith in him.
Claire Bennet
This girl hasn’t done much since episode 17 and she hasn’t really done anything that’s regrettable, disappointing or frustrating. In fact, I’m glad that she’s smart enough to take a closer look at Peter’s ‘dead’ body to find that piece of glass and remove it to revive him.
Matt Parkman
In the present, Matt is no problem. Problem is five years into the future when he’s changed dramatically and become notorious to HEROES fans. Of course, we aren’t given any ideas or clues as to how and why he changed but he did. Not only is he ruthless, he’s also very capable of killing and betrayal. Villains often win the favor of many people but not Matt. We have always known for him to be that nice policeman we all know and this dramatic change is just shocking. Until we find out why and are given a good enough reason, this will continue to be my ultimate disappointment in Matt.
Mr. Bennet
Bennet has been awesome, especially when it took less than two seconds for him to kill the super annoying Thompson. It was sad to see him commit murder, as most would call it, but it was only Thompson, so yeah, he’s fine. =P Now the problem is with whether he’s going to pull the trigger at poor little Molly. I’m hoping he doesn’t since without Thompson and Linderman, Molly is not only no longer a threat but a critically useful ‘asset’. Of course, Bennet doesn’t know Linderman’s dead….
Theodore Sprague (Ted)
Poor guy needs the LOVE he deserves!! I DEMAND more TED!!! This adorable man is seriously underappreciated. He has a lot less screen time than the rest so there isn’t really much of a chance for him to go wrong but he definitely deserves his moment of glory. However, he has to get killed instead, and that I blame clumsy Peter. Ted has done absolutely nothing wrong and he’s only trying his best to bring his life back together but nothing ever goes right for him. Mark my words - Sylar WILL PAY for his death hundred times the amount.
Nikki/Jessica Sanders
Nikki gets on my nerves a lot but recently she’s been somewhat more tolerable as Jessica. At least Jessica doesn’t sob, cry and whine like Nikki does twenty-four seven. It’s also always good to know that she has her brute strength to rely on when danger arises. The frustration from this girl returns when Nikki finally comes in control again in episode 22. Getting emotional is no biggie, but getting immediately vulnerable in the face of an enemy after she gains control of her body is a different story. She really needs to learn to be strong without relying on Jessica.
D.L. Hawkins
D.L. is a wonderful father, a father Micah is definitely proud of. There’s nothing he’s done that is disappointing except for his 'death' for which I blame Nikki. I don't think he's really dead yet though, since according to the 'future' he's supposed to die by Sylar's hands... Also, I applaud him for finally getting rid of that scheming Linderman. Come on guys, give him a round of applause!
Micah Sanders
Micah has been a great boy, a genius for someone his age. It wasn’t exactly a bad thing in my opinion that he helped cheated in the votes for Nathan Petrelli either. After all, he just wants to go back to his parents and live happily ever after without seeing his mom worry about not having money all the time.
Mohinder Suresh
I must say it was stupid of him not to have killed Sylar when he could back in episode 19. He freaking knocked Sylar out! He KO’ed Sylar!! If you really want to kill and stop that mad man, you should have done it right there and then!! But he didn’t! He got too freaked out thinking Peter was dead and decided that he’d leave Sylar alone. Oh Allah! Of course, if he killed Sylar back then there won’t be any more HEROES now would there. Even then, it was too good a chance to kill Sylar to pass up and he did… not once but twice, the first time being the time Sylar was vulnerable and strapped to the chair in episode 18. Other than that, he’s been doing pretty well, especially with treating Molly. He also seems to have become a master at knocking anyone out instantly now, specially for a regular power-less human =P
Sylar (Gabriel Gray)
I don’t know what a super villain can do that would be ‘disappointing’. >_> I wasn’t happy when he killed Isaac but like many others I was surprised to see his ‘humane’ side when he found out from his painting that he was going to kill a lot more people due to the explosion. All the scenes with him and his mother were sympathetic and touching since that is not Sylar but Gabriel Gray, the watchmaker, and his true personality. It was a disappointment when his insanity was triggered again when his mother died since I was barely starting to feel sorry for him, but if that didn’t happen the story wouldn’t have continued so I suppose there’s nothing anyone can do about it. And oh, I sure HATE him for KILLING OFF MY TEDDY BEAR!!!!! *Slices his skull in half*
Mr. Linderman
This guy annoys me simply by being so scheming and so I’m glad to say he’s dead. Whether he’s really dead or not, we don’t know. After all, this is HEROES that we’re talking about, but for the moment I shall assume that he’s dead. And considering that, I’m glad that before he died he did at least one good thing. Good news for Heidi. =)
Molly Walker
I was hoping for Molly to quickly find out and tell Suresh where Sylar is already but alas they have to be stopped thanks to Matt and Bennet’s intrusion. It’s also ironic that the one she considers to be her ‘other hero’ is currently one of the two after her life. Poor girl. I sure hope she survives this. *Stares at Bennet* |
