Heroes finale(spoilers and many of them)

I just watched this and I am utterly confused about how I feel. On one hand, I am very happy that they weren’t extremely predictable but dude…they killed Nathan. Nathan! And it has to be the single most retarded plot line ever on Heroes.

I get that Sylar becoming Nathan is going to be this big thing next season but why? Really? Are they that out of good ideas? And am I the only one who thought it was utterly retarded that they didn’t just inject Nathan with Claire’s blood, like they did with Noah in season 2? Or Nathan in season 2 for that matter(although he wasn’t dead so I don’t think it counts). Or just leave him dead for the love of all things. I love Adrian Pasdar but deaths are waaaay more dramatic if they stick(and keep in mind that Nathan was one of my favourite characters on the show). And just how many seasons can they finish with killing or almost killing poor Nathan? I’m groaning in agony already, if season 4 ends the same way I’ll turn into the Incredible Hulk, fly over to LA and rip someone in two. Chemistry student by day, Jessica by night. Hey, at least I’m not a stripper. Did they send Peter and Claire our of the room(quickie in the bathroom?) so that Peter, who seemed not to be hugging his beloved Idiot Ball too tightly(he almost not in possession the whole episode. Please don’t pick it up again. It’s Angela’s turn apparently. And Noah’s. Although, with the amount of Idiot Balls flying on that tv show, Peter could have his back really fast. Probably will. But I will hope until next season), wouldn’t point out the sheer stupidity of the plan? God, even Idiot Ball Peter could see how this was retarded. After an impossible amount of whining and crying over Nathan’s death, obviously. It’s the only thing he’s good at.*

I think it’s a safe bet to say I’m no longer confused, just angry(and managed to break my space bar in the process. All fixed now.).

So this makes it two season in a row ending with a completely retarded solution instead of going for the obvious one(why didn’t Peter just take Adam and walk through the safe door with him? I mean other then ‘because otherwise the others couldn’t have found them and the virus would have been released’. I want a good reason that isn’t just so the writers would have an escape).

It’s weird that the whole Sylar and Claire thing didn’t even make me as angry as it could have. I get it. And Matt should stop painting the future. Unless something changes in season 4/Volume 5, Washington didn’t explode(how perfect an ending would it have been if Sylar had gone ‘splodey and Peter would have flown him out of there? I have a lot of arguments as to why this would have been a better ending. Season 1 reference, makes more sense than this piece of shit, the canon rules-which they’ve completely ignored so far-say paintings come true-although that was Isaac not Matt so I’ll give them a pass on this one. I should start writing for Heroes. I could do way better. Give me a call, guys. You need my help.), therefore making yet another Parkman original a huge waste of paint.

That being said, and believe me, I could go on, I will still watch Volume 5. Because I did like Tracy coming back, I’m hoping beyond hope that Peter found his brain, a new company will be fun, I wanna see if Danko will work on it(no spoilers as to whether or not Zeljko is coming back-I usually wait until August for my curiosity to get the better of me although I am disappointed enough not to care right now) and am really, really curious if they can salvage anything out of this stupidity. Until then, I might write my own finale fanfic, complete with exploding man.

*Note: I am just picking on Peter out of habit. He really didn’t annoy me this episode and if he thought of turning into the president by himself, then I am impressed. Step away from the ball!
