The Heroes Character You Never Expected To See Again

For end of the season casualties, my vote was on the Mexican girl for being so very, very dumb. I was sad to see Nathan go, but it's Heroes. He'll be back.

Wait, hang on. Didn't Sheppard already come back from the future? Didn't he get trapped in the explosion too?

I have a completely different outrage: don't mind seeing the Japanese cutie again, but hoped they'd have the smarts to let Niki/WTF her name is DIE DIE DIE!

Waitwaitwait, am I to believe that the explosion at the end of S2's finale, along with Micah's "mommynooooooooooooo!", was supposed to make us think Nikki actually DIED?

Heroes' writers have proven time and again that THEY are, in fact, stupid, but that doesn't mean their audience has to be... does it?

crap.

Goddammit, of all the characters to come back why does it have to be Niki? Micah was so much less dysfunctional when he was living with Uhura and Monica, and as far as other end-of-season casualties go, Adrian Pasdar is much more attractive.

Actually, can we just retcon Claire's abilities and stop having characters come back from the dead? I could live with Nathan Petrelli staying dead if the writers would promise me that.

I'm glad to see that Kring didn't take the awfulness of the last season of Heroes lying down.

He's dead set on making the next one even worse.

Knox? Couldn't they come up with something more original? I bet he's a scientist, and has a thing for a demon god named Illyria. Oh wait, that was on Angel... My bad.

@shan6: Yeah, what a waste of an awesome power on such a wuss. The only major character with this high a level was Frodo in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

As for Lost, who didn't know it was Michael? I wish they had revealed it sooner. When Ben said "OK, but you better sit down" last episode I laughed.

And as for Smallville, the preview for the next episode shows that Pete Ross returns to town, so I assume he's the one who'll be permanently killed off. Easy cop-out. He also seems to have the powers of Mr. Fantastic, or...Super Stretch Armstrong.
Also, if Kara is teaching Clark to fly, and he actually succeeds, the show's coming to an end. There was a feature running on the Space Channel here in Canada that interviewed the cast. The actor that plays Clark said that if he ever learned how to fly, it means the show has run out of ideas.

Rick Rape will never die. He'll only get more mopey because he's the "Superman" character.

Does anyone stay dead on Heroes? I gave up watching after an episode that featured only characters who couldn't die. Sort of lessens the drama when no matter how bad the circumstances, everyone walks away unharmed.

What are the odds of Peter Patrelli going away? I could really do without that guy. Replace him with somebody who actually has a pair.

Thank Jebus, they are bringing Ali back. Now how they will work a whipped cream bikini into a story line is another point all together.

Nice cliffhanger with Atlantis. It would have been nice to see Shepard ride a sandworm, but I guess the budget wasn't high enough. Atlantis 40,000 years in the future looks like Dune to me. This always brings up he Time Paradox: can you change a timeline, or just create a new one? I vote for New one.
