how to dismantle an atomic bomb

I have read so many wonderful posts from those in my friend list that I'm intimidated about writing my own without being redundant and boring, that is why I rather use the events in episode 11 to speculate the future of our heroes.

I really like the arc Elle has got. The way Noah has planted this seed of doubt that I think will grow and make her change sides. Yes, I do believe that Elle will work for the good guys in the future. The way she looked at Mohinder when expressed his gratitude for saving their lives. Elle doesn't know what affection means, she doesn't know about empathy and human affection, if she gets this she will have her humanity and therefore, she will fight the Company.

I don't know if there is a plan to conflict Noah and Claire, he has stuck to his promise to protect his family no matter what and Claire is determined to stop running, maybe her idea wasn't bad, but look what happened to Nathan. I think that Claire will work on the background, first to liberate her father from the company and indirectly, or not, helping to save the world. I believe that Claire will be the target of the Company and I think we will see Noah struggling to keep her safe and trying to keep his sanity because of his work at the Company. Besides, did he shoot Nathan? Was this his first task after returning? Wouldn't it be logical that he got rid of his little girl's biological father? Imagine this as another point of conflict between him and Claire. And before I forget, are Claire and West over? Will he be returning for Volume 3 or not. I have to admit that I as skeptical about this relationship because it came out of nowhere but I have learned to love West because of his devotion for Claire and because he was there when it counted.

Peter's arc got weak, I really think that way, I disliked the part where he hooked up with Caitlin for all the none reasons, there wasn't anything in the plot to support this relationship other than physical attraction and gratitude from his part. Anyway, this is not enough and for me that love story was totally irrelevant and was something used to make the 40 minute per episode mark. Other thing is that Peter is a good hearted fellow, I love him for that and I think he is the idealist of the team but his arc have made him look naive and weak which is not what it should be. Maybe it is because the strike and how the last two episodes were written but I feel like his blind trust for Adam was against his nature. There was doubt after meeting Hiro at Primatech's facility in Texas but he could have figured out many things for himself and be more cautious.

Micah and Monica are a good team even if Micah's arc hasn't grown at all, Monica, on the other hand, is a fresh character with a huge potential for the plot. There is a certain level of idealism that I love and there are good intentions, I hope she is wiser than Peter in that sense. I still wish to know if their grandmother has powers because I do feel she know more than we can see.

Angela Petrelli is a huge mystery and I love her to death because she is ambiguous. I do believe she had an affair with Adam but I wouldn't put my money in the theory that one of her sons is also Adam's. I wish we could have learned more about her past and how she interacted with Adam and Linderman, also, what her power is? I also would love to know what her status at the Company is, was she talking with Bob when she was watching the news about her son being shoot, she is still inside the Company and very active in it.

Hiro's arc wasn't that good during this volume, I still think they wasted too much time in the feudal Japan plot. I agree that this helped to develop Adam's character but didn't help Hiro's arc that much. Maybe is because Hiro and Ando are exciting together and somehow this was missed due to the Ando staying in the present and doing nothing but linking the viewer with Hiro's time travel story. Anyway, the way he dealt with Adam was brilliant, letting him inside the coffin is a fair way to get rid of the evilness that Adam is... not that it will last because I don't think that somebody that has lived for that long will end like this.

Adam Monroe was a great addition to the show. He wasn't a good person at all, he changed because he was given a purpose but not because he had a change of heart, he told Hiro that he was his inspiration the one that made him a Hiro and the one that betrayed him by falling in love with the same woman he loved (personally I don't think Adam loved her, it was part of his destiny nothing more). I think that what he had been done for 400 years has affected the present. He was the leader of the first generation of heroes until helast locked by Kaito so he knows as much as the company as Bob does.

And talking about Bob Bishop, is he that bad? or he is just obsessed with the Company? I think it's a combination of both, but still I feel that Angela turns the wheel in a huge way inside the Company. Bob doesn't love Elle, for him she is just a tool and I think (and hope) he will pay dearly for it in the future. I also think he moved the location of the virus without Linderman and Angela knowing so I don't think the virus thing is over.

Mohinder... he confuses me and I have to say that is one of the characters that has managed to frustrate me. Did he sale his soul to the devil (the Company)? Is he that stupid to do that? He's not an idealistic as Peter is, Mohinder has daddy issues and he is not naive. I agree that he is also a good boy but he has gone through some experiences in the past that should've prepared him for a difficult decision. Besides, as much as he can believe that the Company is there to help he can't possible not realize that they are not white hats, all he has to do is look at his surroundings and see how the Company runs its simplest affairs. Still, I love how he loves Molly and how he and Matt are trying hard to keep her safe and help her.

Matt, I love him and how he struggles because I do believe that he has tendency to be ambiguous. Remember his confrontation with Angela and how he read her mind? Matt is a good guy but he can loose control of the situation and that leads to Matt doing all the wrong things for the right reasons. One particular thing that I have liked a lot is how he and Nathan are working as a team. Fangirl squee aside they both make sense together and they complete each other well, some sort of an Ando/Hiro team but different in style and personality.

Maya, I'm so sorry for her, she is the one that was naive and she paid her excess of trust with her brother's death. I think she will generate a lot of attention from the company because of her power. If the virus was indeed destroyed then she can provide a new biological weapon and this time Alejandro is not there to provide the antidote.

Sylar, it looks like my dear boy will provide the badness in the next Volume, I flirt with the idea that he somehow meets Adam. That would be awesome! Sylar has a tendency of thinking that he is part of an elite of human beings, he has made it clear in the past and that goes very well with Adam's ideas of cleaning the planet and just allowing some gifted individuals to live. If they team up then we will see more of the virus, as I said previously the virus was removed or Maya's virus will be the new big bad.

Now the sad part... what happened to Niki and Nathan? Do you think they're gone for good? I don't think so, I believe that Niki will return, remember that anguish brings out Jessica and maybe she will survive as Jessica with Niki hidden inside. I have to accept that I liked Niki better when her arc was linked with DL's, his death was sad and to certain level was frustrating because he could've had a better storyline than the one in S1. I think she has a great chemistry with Nathan and I would love to see a plot between the two of them, hopefully that will happen in the future.

Nathan is not dead, I mean, after saving Noah with Claire's blood I think he will survive or returned to live. Nathan is a popular character and having him killed off this way should be a little bit lame at this moment, why? Because Nathan is a natural leader and the show needs one to balance the individual power among the heroes that it has generated. Besides, I think he will be the one that will bring out his mother's secrets out. The thing I want to make clear is that if he doesn't return I won't stop watching the show, I love Nathan and I would be pissed off if he dies for good but still, I love the whole cast and I will keep watching.

I know I'm leaving out too many things but I will try to post them when they come to me. For example, I wish to know the power of Kaito Nakamura and I wonder if he will return. I also wonder what part will Ando play because so far I think his storyline has suffered a lot.
