What we learned from Heroes last night

http://tinyurl.com/5g24bh

Ever since his inception, since that fateful day in his clock-fixatory, where he heard a certain tic-toc in his clients head, my friends and I have been in heated debate as to what Sylar does with those skulls he pries open.  The hit NBC television show, Heroes, is now on its third season, and hopefully this one wont be cut off by another Writers Strike Writers Guild of America strike. A lot of stuff happened in these two episodes, ‘The Second Coming‘ and ‘The Butterfly Effect‘, pointless questions and both ones of actual value.  If the title did not give it away, this article will contain spoilers.  But only spoilers if you didn’t watch it yet, in which case you are pretty stupid.

What does Sylar do with the top half of his victims skull?

One of the better parts of the Heroes team is how connected they are with their fans.  In response to the slow moving second season, Tim Kring promised there to be a lot more action.  Kring also admitted he didnt work with Claire and West’s romance well, so he stopped trying that.  There was a long time between the second and third season, and a lot of forum going.  I do not imagine myself to have that unique a perspective, so it came to no surprise that there were, you got it, other people wondering about Sylar’s tactics.  The scene?  Claire Bennet was laying on her back and Sylar was, while sporting a kitchen knife in his gut, fingered his way through her brain.  This was in reference to his former occupation as a clock repairman, and one of the major theories that popped up in many a nerdy conversation.

Does Angela Petrelli have powers?

Simply?  Yes.  But this wasn’t revealed in the most blunt fashion, but rather, in a very Heroes-esque one.  Peter teleported back to ‘Level 5′ Level 5 holds dangerous individuals for the Company in Primatech Research. and was fiercly approached by his mother about his shooting of Nathan.  How did she know?  Like him, she can see the future in her dreams.  Along with the relation Matt Parker and his powers had with his father, this futhers the idea of some powers acting hereditary.

How useless are the Dominican Republicans?

Turns out, apparently, not very.  I imagined Maya’s importance to be with her actual power, although it very well may be, Mohinder found importance in the actual physical happenings of the power; the adrenaline emitted by ones brain during stressful situation.  And with this, Mohinder found a way to isolate the powers and inject himself with it - although genius, this stuff never works in the movies.  The second episode ended with Suresh falling apart, literally.

Is Niki/ Jessica dead?

Yes and no.  In the second episode we are greated with Tracy Strauss.  If we were not introduced to Jessica the same way, her clueless refusal to Nathan’s questions may sound a tad more convincing.  It is not yet stated, but although Jessica did die, Niki seems not to have, but is being controlled by another personality.  We also learned that Nik does not have a case of multiple personalities, but each seem to have their own powers.  Niki had super strength, Tracy has the ability to freeze and Jessica… just seems to have a sexy, sexy business.

I meant this to be a look at questions fans had before the third season started, and have been answered.  And although these are great answers, there are now even more questions.  Theorizing is loads fun!
