Yeah. *sigh* I have a few great fanfic ideas that can work off this and make it seem cool, but I hate that yeah, they just KILLED them both. And the sad thing is, it could have been awesome, had they changed it just a little. Instead of Sylar believeing he's Nathan, put Nathan's concience in Sylar, so you have two distinct personalities that are fighting in the same body. I. E. Niki/Jessica. That would be cracktastic to watch Sylar interact with everyone because he's FORCED to, cause he's holding Nathan's personality inside of him...and it would keep both characters distinct, seperate, and alive.
Yeah... I hope they have some awesome ideas for how they're going to handle this, because uh... Yeah. It's going to be hard to do this in any way that could be construed as "well."
From the spoilers and interviews I've read, I am pretty reassured that they WILL do the split personality thing, and that it IS Nathan's mind in there - not just a bunch of memories that Sylar is forced to believe. *crosses finger* Maybe that will let Nathan have a more proper sendoff. I think that it's still a bad move for them to end a finale that way though, especially because they didn't um...portray it like I think they intended. Maybe a midseason finale but pissing off your fans then making them wait four months? Way to kill your ratings.
Yeah, Heroes is not so adept at the ratings games... But if ZQ is going to be occupied doing more Star Trek movies (and let's face it: he will be!) that bodes well for "Nathan's" continued existence, yes?
Honestly, Sylar's my favorite character so I'd be a bit sad if ZQ went away (though I have seen so much HATE for Sylar from Petrellicesters, even before the finale. eek.). But after seeing Star Trek, YES, sequels PLEASE! So I'm a bit on the fence. I wouldn't stop watching if Sylar died, as long as he had a good death.
But if they were to spare Nathan and kill Sylar, they are NOT ALLOWED TO FUCK WITH NATHAN ANYMORE. No more dangling Nathan in death's jaws every season, no more threatening the cest. Adrian better stick around till the damn series finale. Cause if they saved him just to kill him ten episodes later, I'd be upset as a Nathan fan, and as a Sylar fan. Like, "Sylar died for this?"
I'm with you on this. Really. It's too bad there's such anger at Sylar out there, especially coming from the Petrelli crowd. Zachary Quinto didn't ask to kill Nathan, I guarantee it! I love Sylar in addition to the Petrellis, and honestly, I'm almost as upset at the "killing" of Sylar as I was at the killing of Nathan.
I know that Nathan is one of the most emotionally resonant characters, and therefore it's good drama to threaten his life, but seriously. I think they really can't do that anymore. They must stop after this time. Because it's getting old, and my heart can't take the strain! Plus, I don't want fake!Nathan to die. But I would be sad to never again see ZQ on Heroes, so I have mixed feelings... Can't Sylar have a twin? Damnit, if Ali Larder can have 17 duplicate characters, why can't anyone awesome have duplicate character?!
