They did it to me again! Arghh... I accidentally stumbled across some spoilers from ComiCon when reading up on Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog and the Whedon Crowd. I stumbled across these spoilers and I was furious. I was SO set to hate the season. That it wouldn't make any sense... that it would mess with the universe further. That it would be so bad. However, these first two episodes proved me wrong (so far). My god.. I didn't expect it to pull me back in so quickly.. especially since I missed it on Monday and had to find it online to watch it. I went into the episodes completely expecting to be disappointed. I was not.
In fact, I'm already gearing back up into full speculation mode, especially with, well, pretty much all of episode 2.
Spoilers/Speculation:
At the end of episode two, do you think Mrs Patrelli was being serious with Sylar, or using mind tricks with him? I mean after all she can dream the future and could know all about Sylar's past. I actually want to think that Gabriel is really her son. It makes a lot of sense, especially with the similarity of powers between Peter and Sylar. That still has some major repercussions in the Heroes universe, especially if Sylar starts working FOR the Company or even stranger still, turns "hero".
I wonder how Sylar will react when he finds out that he is no longer "special". That anyone can get powers like his through use of Dr. Suresh's serum. Speaking of Suresh, who else saw that coming? He's turning primal.. into an animal. He's degenerating somehow. His increased metabolism is causing some really funky things to go on. I'm really interested to see where Suresh and Maya go as well, as I've thought that they had a certain chemistry when they met at the end of Season 2. It may have just been that the actors had that certain spark, but it's not a far-fetched pairing at all. I actually kind of hope it works out.
Edit:
So I heard season 2 suffered from the writers strike. Anyone want to comment on that?
Eh? It kind of did. They didn't get as many episodes out there. The story got truncated. There wasn't enough action for some people, so it suffered in the ratings there (I actually LIKED the character development and romance stuff for a change -_-). It could have been a lot better, but it wasn't a horrible season. It set up events nicely for this season despite being disrupted due to the strike.
Edit: Edit: More Speculations:
The Ice-Queen Politician's Aide (forget the characters name) IS Nikki, but another personality. I think her powers depend on the personality in control, and are directly tied to emotions or emotional states. Jessica was Nikki's strength so she was super-strong. Nikki eventually conquered Jessica and was stronger for it.
