If you're not caught up to last night's Heroes episode, then don't read on after the picture of Elle below! I'm warning ya...spoilers to be found through the rest of the post...
****SPOILERS BELOW****
First off, I just have to say...I'm gonna miss our favorite little shocker girl! I guess any and all doubts that may have been left after last week's episode, about whether or not Sylar really killed Elle or if something else was going to happen
to save her at the last minute...those are all thrown out now. Poor little Elle is really dead. And not just dead...burned to a crisp! :( There was a lot of outrage from many of the fans from what I read online, some saying they aren't going to watch the show anymore. But I ask you, were those the true fans to begin with then? LOL I'll miss having her on but if the trade off is having big bad Sylar back again, then I'm game! I love having the Sylar that we knew and feared finally coming back! As Sylar was burning Elle's body, and we got that closeup of the fire reflected in his eyes...I loved that shot. To me part of it showed some sadness he felt in what he had to do, but also that fire in his eyes kinda showed how he's been ignited again...Sylar is back!
I was one of those that felt that Elle might still be alive. We never saw him fully kill her last week. Oh and by the way, is it just me or did it seem like she never tried to fight back? She didn't try to at least throw him back using her electricity did she? I'm not sure. Either way, I was hoping she'd get out of that situation somehow. I guess because of that whole future episode earlier in the season when Sylar had a son, I figured it would be Elle's because of their little romantic interest. And from what I read on Greg Beeman's Heroe's blog, one of the people that works on the show, I was probably right. He said, "Tim Kring and Kristen had explored keeping her around longer – and I know Kristen wanted to come back. There were potential storylines about pregnancies and babies…. But the truth is she has a very busy career with a lot of feature films, pilots and much else in the works. We had no official contract with her – and she couldn’t commit to exactly when she could return. And so it was decided that this would be the most exciting way to end her character. She will be missed."
Of course, on Heroes, with a few time travellers in the bunch, no character ever truly stays dead. :) So who knows, she may make a cameo or two later on.
Before I forget, something I was discussing with a friend recently...I love the music they use for some of the characters. Such as those creepy snake sounds they play in the music for some of Mohinder's scenes, and especially the random tic-tocs of the clocks that play for some of Sylar's scenes, particularly when he's killing someone. If you've never noticed those themes, pay attention and you'll catch them, such as in the scene when Sylar kills the lie detecting birthday girl.
I love that "Cake?" line Sylar delivers when the other office people walk in on him killing the birthday girl. And then the way he tests his power on that elevator guy. Sylar is morbidly funny...I love that. lol
So let's see, what else did I have to say about this episode. Oh yeah, Mr. Petrelli! Looks like "our father" is finally dead. For real this time. At least it seems that way...cuz he did do some weird glowing vaporizing thing after he was shot. Maybe his soul transferred to someone else? Nah. Maybe some remnants of the conduit? Or perhaps it was all the powers he'd stolen from people before...being returned to their rightul owners? If that's the case, poor Maya is in for another disappointment, but super Peter will be back. Your thoughts on that thing that came out of Mr. Petrelli? You think it was just a cool random death scene effect or was there more to it?
And here's a little something to ponder. Peter shot his father...as in he pulled the trigger. The bullet flew out, just inches from his father's head, only to be temporarily stopped by Sylar. But then Sylar tell's Peter that he's not a killer, and decides to let the bullet go so that he (Sylar) kills Petrelli. But since it was Peter who shot the bullet to begin with...who REALLY killed him? Had Sylar not been there, the bullet would've shot him anyway. :)
And poor Hiro, trapped in time again, but this time without any powers! Maybe this is why Ando ends up getting his powers, if that really was Ando we saw killing Hiro. Or is that a future that's not gonna happen anymore? I get lost sometimes. lol
The next volume of the series is going to be called "Fugitives." I didn't know who or what the fugitives would be running from, or exactly who the fugitives would be. But hmm....maybe it's this super army that become the hunters and the good guys become the fugitives that have to run because they are outnumbered? How cool would it be to see a big fight somewhere down the series, all the good guys vs all the bad guys, fighting it all out! Can't wait!
