Heroes Mid-Season Finale

I'm whimpering and whining, hoping for more information. Like the end of a tube of toothpaste, there's only so much I can squeeze out. Now I'm ready to cut it open to scrape the insides clean.

So let's do a top five of sorts (with apologies to those who created the copyrighted material I'm borrowing). And some predictions.

#1 - Hiro
Hiro is my Hero. To me, he defines a hero. He's trying to use his powers for good in helping other people, but has been so used to being a "common man" he doesn't quite know how to handle the super-power thing.

Prediction - Hiro will travel back in time to get his katana (sword) from ancient Japan. Think of the old Seven Samurai movie by Kurosawa.

#2 - Matt (aka The Cop)
I think the cop (still have a hard time calling him Matt) is another great "common man" character. Fighting to figure out what to do with his power, he has the opportunity to better himself and not lash out violently. But in trying to find out what happened to him when the Haitian took him, he may loose his temper.

Prediction - He will confront Horn Rim Glasses Guy (HRGG) and get the information he needs. But it won't be pretty, the confrontation or the information.

#3 - Claire
Oh sweet Claire-Bear. I can almost wish the cheerleaders in high school were as grounded as she is. The ones I knew where a bit spacey at times. And that's being nice.

Prediction - Claire now realizes what her father (HRGG) has done (or can do) and will run-away from home. I'm sure she'll end up in New York City, but will hitch a ride with either Hiro or someone else to get there. In NYC, she will use her power to heal Peter Petrelli of the combustible power he absorbed.

#4 - Micah
The "touch-tone kid." Or maybe the computer that wore tennis shoes. Either way, he has yet to use more of his talent. But I like how he's trying his best to keep his parents together, each with differing abilities.

Prediction - Micah helps dismantle a bomb. Don't ask where that came from, just a guess.

#5 - The Haitian
Until the mid-season finale, this guy was on my hit list. I really, really hated him. But when he confronted Claire, it made me wonder if he's not that bad after all.

Prediction - The Haitian will "rescue" HRGG from The Cop. But he will give him the same treatment as Claire.

Predictions

Isaac (the artist) - Continues to sketch and paint without being high and will provide Hiro with more clues as to the destiny of the group.

Simone - Her story line is pretty much dead.

Nathan Petrelli - He wins the election and turns out to be a typical politician, evil. Until he hurts his wife and decides to use his power for good.

Mohinder - Will continue to attempt to warn those on "the list" and will garner the attention of the FBI lady and The Cop. They'll join forces to save the world.

Niki - Will turn herself in but escape prison to rejoin DL and Micah to do something.

Peter Petrelli - Will become the combustible man but will not be the reason behind the blast in NYC.

Graphic Novel

One final comment on this comic that I keep pushing to fellow fans. Read it if you haven't already. It'll give you some new details that will spawn further discussion. Like the latest that shows HRGG and the Haitian finding Eden and knocking out Sylar.
