i just finished watching the fourth episode of heroes destiny and a couple things occured to me. why did the petrelli boys have their powers given to them artificially. if i am not mistaking, didn't angella tell peter and nathan that their powers were "given" to them? why wouldn't they had inherited their powers, since powers are obviously transfered through the generations? maybe adam monroe/kensei is everyone's daddy. J. i mean the writing on the wall is begining the read "peter and nathan are not angella and arthur's biological children, they were given to them in the same manner as claire with hrg. question about the ending of "escape" (e4 - heroes:destiny)? more just looking for affirmation: the text message santiago recieved that said "come out front to see the truth" (or whatev) was from his father right? when the black guy (apparant hitman sent to take out santiago's mom and elisa) told 'serious looking women' (according to heroes wiki; the blonde chick that actress andrea thompson plays) that santiago was heading her way she had a very slightly surprised tone in her voice. but to play devil's advocate the other two options (while staying within some variation of a logical sphere of predictions and speculation) the text message was sent by would be the serious looking women and for the stretch for another option would be a higher 'authority' that knew how the entire event would transpire. like an aurthor petrelli or linderman figure. that option would be probable for the webisodes to develop an ultimate bad guy/villian. but here again the serious looking woman's reaction gave me the impression that she was surprised by santiago's dad showing up. and this option also is more appealing due to the fact that the serious looking women had to know that she wouldn't be harmed by santiago's papa's electrical ball of fury (again by the acting by andrea thompson and her little smurk when she came to at the end; in case you were wondering i am her agent and am shame-lessly promoting her work on a nbc web series, J) Thus, meaning that she somehow knew santiago's poppy would show up for whatever reason (i.e. set him up or is working WITH santiago's daddy)...ooh, that is even more synical and intriging. the serious looking woman and santiago's father working together to con santiago into doing their dirty deeds (done dirt cheap). but thinking about it, i think this was thrown out already because i think the serious women was unaware that santiago's padre was still alive. i think he told her for the first time in the eppy. anyway...did anyone else think that santiago's madre's power was sort of disappointing. i mean we all saw this coming, if not since we met her and noticing the common theme of heroes in general (parents w/ powers = children w/ powers and vice versa), then definately when we heard that santiago's père was an EH as well, and if you can't foresee anything while watching heroes then you realized that santiago's mommy had powers when she gave her whole spill about his father no the only one "with secrets" and did the dramatic fist opening for a big reveal of a new and amazing power...smoldering. unless i see santiago's mammy through a sheet of fire out of that crusty hand then i nominate her for being the weakest EH. this isn't the first time that we have seen a form of pyrokinesis we have seen. meredith was the original with her fireball power (mario after eating a flower, some say that the flower was supposed to represent a hit of acid in super mario bros 3; a game that allegedly had dominate drug undertones...but i digres), then there was her brother, flint, and his pyrokinesis was seemingly different in that his flame was blue (hey brian, the blue flame is the hottest flame), then there was santiago's mami, iris. it appears that age is a significant element of fire. the young and mighty gordon siblings seem to be able to produce fire in masses and strong enough to take down sadom and gamorrah, but the old and feeble iris seems to be faking her powers with cheap magic tricks. more like smoldering. like you lit a pack matches all at once but the matchbook was damp and the fire had to fight to survive from the resident h2o. hopefully i am jumping to conclusions and iris has some unimaginable angle on pyrokinesis like fire mimicry, being able to turn into fire the same way elisa can change into water. imagine that scene: santiago and elisa are tied up..err..elisa turns to water, furthermore could esacape and free santiago. santiago is tied up, and elisa is either dead or stuck in a small aquarium somwhere, then iris breaks the door down with her walker "don't worry, santiago. i will rescue you" (in an extremely heavy hispanic accent)*poof* she turns into a campfire and burns the rope that binds santiago to a steel chair, that in all actuality only weighs 3 oz because of the special effects demands on the chair, and then*poof*/*special effects*/"I'm Thirsty" (again, extremely heavy hispanic accent) iris reforms into the female hispanic yoda (but taller) and the two of them escape and accomplish their MO that had the series had been building to all "season" (i don't want to call a webisode series installment). btw, i apologize if it sounds like i am being too harsh on iris, furthermore, the actress norma maldonado; but please understand that it is all in warped fun (i loved her work in her uncredited role in 'Erin Brokovich' as "Woman #1").check my sources for the imdb.com link. i am most def going to *exploitive deletive* myself if in the next episode she drops the nun starter kit and bares her perfect 10 figure wearing nothing but a peru flag bikini. i never think there is enough gratuitous t and a. but anway...wtf is up with the eclipse? i understand that powers are an extremely advanced scientific topic, but *exploitive deletive*, is the answer in the blood, the gravity, the moon, the sun, a chinese safe, or some other container that may or may not be opened by the silver key in the serious looking woman's hand? it seems we have been going in circles on this topic since day one. the most significant advanements on the audience's knowledge of the answer/secret to the powers has been the discovery of the formula in seperate locations and the discovery that claire is more than likely the catalyst needed for sureshes formula. so the hottest, until recently, jailbait on tv is still the absolute center of the show. not complaining but..err..that's cool. and the formula has been a centered unanswered question since suresh cracked his dad's highly encrypted and super secret password with his sister's name. being an IT professional, a family members name (more times than not followed by the family members birth year) is the one of the most commonly used passwords EVER,ever,ever,ever. "power, sex, god, and power"...followed by cindysue2000. but those two events are the most memorable answers to the formula question in 3 seasons. sidestep.
