I think that Adrian Parman will be back but not portraying Nathan, but Sylar. If Sylar survive he may take Candice powers and pretend to be nathan so he could be in congress. Peter surely survive after the explosion. We already know that ’cause he is alive in 5 five later. If he regenerated and later hit the ground doesn’t make a difference.

Memories lost = Hatian? Can it be?

Drnking Problem = Nathan(if he’s alive, hope so) or Officer Parkman… Ando?

Or maybe Nathan loses his memory due to the crash, when he lands ( :S ) and Peter gets himself some booze…

Unlikely scenario:
Sylar loses his memory and becomes on of the Heroes… Sylar’s the man… … Nikki starts drinking AGAIN because she misses Jessica

:S

Dunno

Would be cool if it was Sylar with the amnesia and he’d join up with the S1 Heroes after “re-discovering” his powers =)
They’re also saying they’d introduce new, important S2 characters in the final episode. Im thinking Hiro’s father & Molly Walker.

One thing i haven’t seen mentioned before is the whole “Past” season of heroes that has already been developed troughout the series.
Several characters have talked about that in their past there was a group of heroes who tried to change the world, but some split off and used their powers for their own gain. Im talking Linderman, Charles Deveaux, MR & Mrs. Petrelli (Peter & Nathans parents) & Hiro’s Father. All of them are implied to have powers of themselves, and all of them seem to have been part of that “past group of heroes” that has been implied over and over.

Btw, after Grandma Petrelli was talking to Bennett about that “they” handed Claire over to Bennett, i seemed to remember that the guy who handed over Claire to Bennett in one of the flash-backs was Hiro’s father?
Are all of the people i mentioned (Linderman, Charles Deveaux, MR & Mrs. Petrelli (Peter & Nathans parents) & Hiro’s Father) part of the Company, and would it exist to prevent new heroes from doing what they did themselves in the past?

Either way, im quite sure that those people all have powers, were connected in the past as is implied loads of times, and that we’ll see this whole history in season 2

You know what I think happened? I think that Nathan lets go of Peter right before he explodes and flys away. Meanwhile, Peter’s inertia (you know, car stops quickly, you fly foward) keeps him going and then he explodes, loses momentuem and falls. Nathan, who live have been far enough away to survive the kaboom, flys back and scoops Peter, then drops him into the ocean. But because I think “going nuclear” would drain a person alot, peter will be to tired to swim, pass out, and then maybe get rescued by some random ship.

Then that leaves for Peter to develope memory loss because of the whole drowning thing and not remember who the heck he is, so he cant find Nathan to tell him that hes alright. And then Nathan will feel guilty because he’ll think that he killed Peter by dropping him into the great pond and turn alcholic.

syler dided in the last episode something/someone draged him down the drain hense the mud on the drain
but ho or what was it ? could it be the new villan that the tracker knew about or could it be someone/thing else i cnt w8 for season 2

i dnt think nathan will be back in since he blew up (big booom) peter should be back in tho since it said he can heal evn if he blows up but if they take him out their gona have to make up something

gota have peter back in tho wouldnt be heroes without him…

OMG!!
I Can’t believe none of you guys figured it out yet!
LOL…
You all got it either fully or partially wrong…

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!

Well, first of all, haven’t you guys noticed that the Finale Episode and all that Peter going to explode crisis happens at night?
In Peter’s Dream about him exploding and when Hiro first teleported 5 weeks into the future where he sees the explosion from Isaacs loft, it is clearly shown that the explosion occurs during the day! And more importantly, the day after Nathan’s election!

The Season Finale happens the night of the election… So I guess by now you guys should’ve probably figured out the direction I am heading…

As I have predicted ever since we saw glimpses of the future through Peter’s, Hiro’s and Isaac’s eyes, the future we saw in episode 20 (Five Years Gone) will eventually happen without doubt.

Let’s think of this for a while.
Hiro and Isaac, and later Peter, all wanted to fix the future by altering key events in the past (or present) and especially Hiro, by telling peter in the subway to save the cheerleader and save the world. But the fact or possibility of changing the future is nothing but an illusion, so this would mean that changing the future is impossible.
Furthermore, if the future was really changed through the actions of Hiro (and Peter) this would counter the fact that those Heroes could see the future in the first place, leading to the fact that Neither Hiro nor Isaac could either time-travel or paint the future because if the future was really changed by Hiro, then Isaac’s painting won’t be considered as paintings of the future anymore and Hiro himself never did travel into future.

So, what I am actually saying is that when a specific future event is foreseen by one of the heroes, then it cannot be avoided and it will happen, otherwise the Hero who would have claimed that he/she saw the future wouldn’t be able to see the future in the first place. (All that could also be explained through scientific methods using quantum physics, but no need to go into such details).

Anyway…
Back to the Storyline after the aerial explosion of peter…
Nathan will somehow survive (most of the Nathan survival theories brought to us by previous posters are very much possible), in the mean time sylar will manage to heal himself and probably acquire some more powers on the way (including Candice’s shape-shifting ability)… And on the next day, the day after the election, Peter will lose control again, this time someone somehow would have alerted citizens of an possible explosion beforehand, which explains the abandoned cars on the streets in Peter’s dream, and having done this before, Nathan comes towards Peter proposing his help as he did the night before, but this time Peter loses control too early, before Nathan has the chance to pick him up, resulting in the explosion of New York City…

So the future is inevitable.
AND everything we saw in chapter 20 will certainly happen, and if not, then the producers of Heroes will be defying the laws of logic and quantum physics…

Season 2 will take us back to the past for a while to reveal the origins of the Heroes, and then take us back to the actual time the day after Nathan’s election, or perhaps will alternate between past and present throughout the whole season. Anyway, the way it’s done doesn’t really matter, what really matters is that it happens.

I think I have said enough for today…
I will be checking back on that forum thread every once in a while, so don’t hesitate to ask questions, I will be glad to answer, and perhaps give more details if anyone needs further explanation…

ExplodingMan says:

This is just a question or two so feel free to scrutinize. It was so out of character for Nathan to save Peter. I mean what did all the heroes do that made Nathan want to save the world? He would’ve done this anyway.

5 years into the future, the future Hiro wondered why saving Claire didn’t stop New York blowing up. So what was it that changed Nathan’s mind?? Is it that line about ‘the future isn’t set in stone’ that explains why New York was saved? It just seems like a cop-out. If that was the case then there would be no future for Hiro to travel to as it cannot be defined. Do sitcom writers write for this show or something???
