An invisible thread

The season finale of Heroes Season 3 left me deeply unsatisfied.

Season 1 and 2 finales had better closures and ended their respective volumes nicely. NYC was spared of the explosion in S1 and the Shanti virus was destroyed in S2. Season 3 finale chose not to end on a cliff hanger but instead had Syler taking on the form of Nathan Patrelli. It was not revealed how Nathan's body was disposed off either. Peter Petrelli was the one who jabbed the tranquilizer which could kill an elephant into Syler's throat so as to knock him out. However, it was not explained subsequently why Peter was not present when Angela Patrelli engaged Matt Parkman's help in removing Syler's memories and replacing it with Nathan's. Syler shape shifted into Nathan but we are not sure if this is permanent. So it seemed then that Peter and Claire Bennett were both kept in the dark of Nathan's death.

Claire's blood can be used to revive the dead where it was used to revive Noah Bennett when he was shot in the eye by Mohinder Suresh. So why did Angela Petrelli not chose this alternative? Why have Syler replace her dead son when there is this possibility of bringing the real Nathan back from the dead? Furthermore, Noah was present when Syler was brainwashed by Matt in the second last scene but no suggestions were made by him, assuming that Angela might be unaware that her granddaughter's blood had healing abilities (highly unlikely).

I don't really like the twist at the end. To have Syler take Nathan's shoes. Perhaps the writer wasn't sure if he wants to keep Syler or Nathan in the story and it is best to end it this way. Like Nicki Sanders being written off to make way for Tracy Strauss. But I can't imagine the show without the resident psychotic killer - Syler (Zachary Quinto). So he should be back as himself pretty soon.

Season 4 starts next Monday. All the unanswered queries about to be revealed, hopefully.

get well soon

This is terrible.

I was talking to this girl from the same alliance on evony yesterday. She was telling me that she plans to attack this nearby hostile city after she's back from church. And the next thing I'm hearing today is that she was involved in a serious car accident on the way back from church. Barely conscious now and can only move her right arm. The stupid driver fled.

She is sort of like my neighbour on the strategy game, about 5.7 miles away from me on the game and possibly zillions of miles away in terms of actual physical distance. I think she's american. What shocked me was that I was just talking to her yesterday and then everyone was asking about her this morning and I was wondering why. She was really nice to me, all giggly on the game and sending me resources when I first started on the game. Sweet girl.

It's just a game. These people are nicknames, probably won't ever get to know their real names or know how they look like but it still got to me.

Hope you get well soon dear neighbour.
