DISQUS

Cat · 1 year ago

I always thought D.L. didn't phase because the bullet would go through him and kill Nikki. That's the point of taking a bullet for someone.

Sezza80 · 1 year ago

In season 1 that was the case but in season 2 she was standing to the side of him and the bullet would have just gone into the stairs.

Niki powers are hard to explain Jessica had superstrenght, Gina had..... and now Tracy has plant manipulation, healing or cyrokenesis

ty · 1 year ago

in regards to "cat" he didnt do that to take a bullet for her... because he can make other people phase through objects as well! so ultimatley...that was just a quick way to get rid of a character!

Rosyposy · 1 year ago

Whoever posted this seems to think Tracy is another personality like Jessica or Gina, since they write: 'she has no memory of her previous life'. This is because she is NOT the same person who was Niki. Tracy is not simply another personality in the same body, she is an entirely different person. She was killed more than 'metaphorically', because in the 'sneak peek' we see Tracy open a coffin to look at dead Niki.

Also, DL was standing in a crowded stairway when he was shot. For the same reason he didn't let the bullet phase through him when Linderman shot him, it would've hit the people behind him.

Remember, Niki had a sister...if Niki had a power, isnt it safe to say that her sister did too?

mangafreak6390 · 1 year ago

Dude, that was Jessica, she is dead.

Sam · 1 year ago

The speculations listed in the article was culled from all the spoilers that have shown up online. If you have any evidence that Tracy is Niki's sister, I would like to see it. Link to a source, unless you're just blowing hot air. As to the DL issue, the gun came out of nowhere, DL would have just a split-second to react. Definitely enough time for him to phase, but NOT enough time for him to consider or even mull over the idea of sacrificing himself to save everyone in the stairwell. It was either bad writing or a major conceit on the show's part.

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

yeah killing D.L was lame they should have killed him off a better way like falling off a building somehow and then he phases into the ground below and gets stuck never to be seen again a gun shot to the gut is stupid as weve seen him phase that sniper shot from niki

Tarot · 1 year ago

One thing to bear in mind is that Linderman had been watching Niki a long time (DL too). Exactly how long or what caused him to take an interest, we've not yet been shown. That rose picture is important. Also I like how they give you enough info to stay interested and speculate but don't actually spoil anything.

HEROESCRAZY · 1 year ago

Nikki/Jessica/Gina/Tracey just got even mre interesting !!! but im just worried about Micah for the reasons to that tracy doen't remember anything about her past and if Monica's gonna be leaving , who's gonna be and take care of Micah ?

Niki · 1 year ago

I think that Micah will leave the show at the same time as Monica. I thought that Tracy would have Cyrokenesis because of the promo wallpaper, but when I saw the promo I thought Telekinesis. I think that Tracy would be a lot like Emma Frost from the X-Men Comics. Niki and Jessica shared the Super Strength, it was her way of getting the power like drugs was Issac's was to get his. After seeing a promo I think that Tracy is a separate person from Niki, but if Tracy looks down at Niki, why isn't Niki burnt?

MrWithaz · 1 year ago

It's clear that this person called Tracy is actually Nikki's twin sister, whom Nikki thought was dead, remember she went to visit her grave! Nikki and her split personalities of Jessica/Gina are dead and that only leaves the real Jessica who has some sort of memory loss/amnesia and thinks shes called Tracy Strauss and can't remember her twin sister, but as we see in the spoiler, she will see her in a coffin. Pretty cool because all these 4 characters have been played by Ali Larter.

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

Why IS Linderman so interested in her and her different personalities? What did she do to get his attention when she was younger for him to have such an interest as to put her whole life on a path of his choosing? Are they maybe related in some way? And has there been any mention of her mother or her mother's powers? I don't remember there being any.

Tarot · 1 year ago

Hopefully they will show us. I do recall in season 1 when DL and Niki went looking for Micah they found files on themselves that Linderman had been keeping for some time, though no reason for him to have taken an interest was given at that time other than Linderman saying he'd wanted DL and Niki to marry and have offspring.

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

Im thinking that the founders of the company including Linderman know what two people with powers wil have what kind of off spring,
theyve known about powers for a very long time and its not a stretch that they would know the genetics behind it i think that why he got Niki and D.L married he probably knew Phasing plus super strength = technokenisis and he needed Micah to rig the election for nathen it was a big elaberate plan to get nathen into office make sence?

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

I don't think that they could know just through genetics that when two people have offspring what the result would be. For instance when they have more than one child. There's a different result each time such as Peter and Nathan. Peter is the most powerful of them all while Nathan only flies. Maybe one of the founders power is, or was, to know who develops what power without having to be near them. Sort of a human genetic data base. How else could Linderman know about DL and Nikki and whoever else he had tabs on?

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

or maybe they had a guy that has what sylars original power is and he looked at DL and he looked at niki and figured out they would have a kid that has teknokenisis, why else would linderman want them together, and then again on my genetic theory mohinders dad figured out thru genetics who would have powers thru the markers and such so its a far stretch to know what the offspring would have, especially if you've been "researched"

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

How did Papa Suresh come up with this list of names anyway? It's not like there's a list compiled of everyones blood out there for everyone to see.

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

yeah but he had the list it was one of the shows plots points

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

Yes, but how did he compile the list? It didn't come out of thin air.

Zing · 1 year ago

He got it from the human gene project thingy, Its the people who had abnormalities in their DNA, obviously all heroes arent on it because not all of them were involved in the project, but thats how he got the list.

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

You state that as if everyone on the list came to Suresh and have him their blood for the project. I know what has already been stated on the show. My question was how did he get the DNA for the project. The people he contacted afterwards hadn't a clue who he was for the most part so.....

MABK · 1 year ago

Perhaps the scene we see in one of the trailers, were Tracy opens a coffin an sees herself, wich may be Nikki, if she really died in the explosion then she should have burns of 3rd grade, but maybe that scene is in her mind, the personality if Nikki perhaps is dead, or in a deep sleep. Ali Larter's character for now is one of the most strange and interesting now, my tought is that she is not ill in a physicological way, but instead that is her power, to have different personalities, like cloning, but instead her souls, and very different from each other, and perhaps her ability, and maybe she will have Linderman's personality, because he is dead, and maybe like Jessica, Nikki or Tracy will now be Linderman.

For now the ones that involve Larter's character most are Nathan and Linderman, perhaps she and Nathan will work to discover more about their abilities, but Nathan for her to remember, because it couldn't be a coinsidence that someone he already knows doesnt remember him, since Nathan know of her multiple personality desorder, and the rose scene may show her ability, my guess is FREEZING, since in her new artwork promo, show her in a snowing street, or raining perhaps but prefer snowing, since is soo white, and maybe she freeze the rose in that scene.

Janinsca · 1 year ago

Yayyyy Linderman her real DADDY, not the misfit guy fro9m season one!

Rightprice · 1 year ago

Hey everybody, I was wondering why nobody has discussed Nikki's other physical strengths. Her superstrength would apply to her bones and skin as well as her muscles. If her muscles are strong enough for her to punch through a heavy wooden door then the bones in her hand and arm would have to be strong enough not to shatter on impact. Her skin would also have to be durable enough to not tear or rip apart. Perhaps this is why the woman in the coffin wasn't burned?.

Tarot · 1 year ago

nice idea Rightprice, though the only problem is that Niki was infected with the modified Shanti virus, which is supposed to take away powers (in addition to being ultimately fatal) though perhaps it didn't affect /everything/ just yet.

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

yeah I think Niki dying in the fire is a way to kill off the virus as well because the virus probably wouldnt survive the fire either, as for her to come back as someone totally different I think its kinda weird but there are such things as dopplegangers its very very rare but if thats the case then why would she be looking at a coffin of someone who looks exactly like her but isnt her and has no connection to her? 'Heroes youve got some splainin to do

mig · 1 year ago

this is one damn hot show :P

Sam · 1 year ago

People seem to be taking the Niki/Jessica character looking at herself in the coffin scene too literally. As in Season 1, when Niki kept seeing Jessica in the mirrors, a lot of what transpires with Niki/Jessica takes place in the mind -- i.e. Jessica wasn't REALLY hiding in the mirrors. Likewise with the coffin scene, I surmise. My guess is that it's Tracy figuratively burying Niki and taking over the personality. Of course, it's just speculation, but unless someone can link me to a source that says otherwise...

Tarot · 1 year ago

You could be on to something there, Sam. If it's metaphorical rather than actual that would definitely explain why the woman in the coffin isn't burned.

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

My thoughts exactly on the whole coffin scene. We saw numerous metaphorical scenes of her personalities. I wonder exactly how many personalities they are going to create for her character. It seems that the possibilities are endless but wouldn't it be a bit boring after a while to keep up with this multiple personality disorder?

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

yes but why would they change it from mirrors? to her actually seeing it happen? i think theres more to it

Brendon · 1 year ago

Ali Larter is so HOT!
She is the best actress in the show!
Wonderful charactere!
I think that Tracy is a sister of Niki!
Maybe Niki Mother has a power of babys multiply same like twins.
Tracy power is catch habities for people died.
AMAZING!!!
She is so myst!
I Love Her!

NavyGater · 1 year ago

Ali Larter is okay but Niki has kinda been sucking it up so I hope she is dead! Now if we could only kill off Micah, and Monica all would be right with the world!

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

I don't think she acquires any new powers. Everyone has taken the coffin and rose way out of context. She could be just touching the rose or something because Linderman had just healed it.

Rightprice · 1 year ago

I have an theory. Perhaps linderman heals nikki and brings her back to life after she is killed in the fire. When he does this a new personality (Tracy) emerges and is in control. Tracy for some reason doesn't have access to nikki's memories, either because she has amnesia, has had her memories removed, or is unconsciously suppressing them. Any way, she may feel indebted to linderman for saving her life while at the same time not remembering all the harm he has done to her and her family. Linderman bends her to his will and uses her to gain influence or control over the new New York congressman by having her become his new mistress, either to blackmail him or just to have someone he controls close to the congressman. While this goes on Linderman tries to bring Nathan back into a position of power in order to continue the plans he had, which involved nathan, before he was seemingly killed.

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

im not sure but i think niki did actually die wich would kill the virus she had because it would be really dumb if she survived and had the virus still even tho the virus kills quick and she realy wouldnt have time to survive i just hope its not nikis body because it wojuldnt make sence unless linderman was following her the time with the anitidote or bob was following her with it, to me survivng the fire and the virus consecutivly is just crazy lucky

HEROGUY · 1 year ago

another thing is that if linderman is alive then where was he during season 2? theres a whole lot of explanations that need to be ironed out still i love this show and i dont think they can screw it up the writers are amazing

Offbeat Freak · 1 year ago

Theory: Jessica isn't in her grave. If Linderman had been following Nikki for so long, maybe he actually healed Jessica when she died and has been using her also. So much has been left out and left to speculation with characters dying and coming back. It's going to be a season of revelations that's for sure.

Niki · 1 year ago

if Niki and Tracy is the same character why would Tracy have a new power because Jeph Lobe did say that Jessica and Niki power is the same and Jessica was Niki's drugs, note that it is a nod to Issac and his power.

NavyGater · 1 year ago

Niki is dead please let it stay that way lol if I didn't love the show so much I would just tell myself season 2 was the end so I could go on thinking that she died in that explosion! Aw who am I kidding I have to watch! DEATH TO MONICA, NIKI, and MICAH!!!

me · 1 year ago

maybe while niki was in the fire her personality changed and she bacame tracy who doesnt have the virus and has healing powers or wat meredith has

Isa · 1 year ago

NavyGater · 1 year ago
