Man, it's all good so far.

Can't disagree with that.

Maybe its just me, but I have a baaaad feeling about this next season--It seems as though they are finally beginning to have explored all of the possible routes a super heroes series can. They stopped an ambiguous catastrophe, stopped The Plague, stopped The Supervillan (two different ones, no less), and they stopped The Evil Company That Rounds Up Supers (two different ones, no less!).

And worst of all, its like they didn't miss a step between creating a new Nathan, and suggesting that Nathan isn't the only one in that head.

I really hope this season won't be:
Episodes 1-5: Who the hell am I?
Episodes 6-16: I'm Sylar again! Time to wreck havoc!
Episodes 17-end: I'm also Nathan, Sylar's Mom, That Soldier Guy, and god knows who else's personalities he absorbed. Lets all just be in harmony, k?


Personally, the direction that I would really like, that they may have hinted towards at the last episode, is some sort of adventure in the distant future (the one X-Men plot element they haven't explored yet). They seemed to have made a pretty big point of it when he was talking to Claire about how they're both immortal, and everybody but them is going to die sooner or later... Either way, I really enjoyed the subplots that entered some lesser-explored territory (such as Hiro's adventure through feudal Japan), and like all borderline scifi series, they're beginning to have explored all the territory they can in mundane feet-rooted-in-real-life land.

They're going to have to make a move towards the fantastic, or its going to get stale really fast.

It's cool how they're not trying to stop any big catastrophe this year. There's no visions of a ruined future, no predictive paintings, and somehow the series is better for it. It feels like it's broken out of the cycle.

Plus we're around the halfway point now and Sylar still has Nathan's personality, no havoc at all. Even though he's been surrounded by people who've been asking for it.
