Heroes Spoilers

[lostandalone22]

Spoilers about Niki.


No [Niki is not coming back]. But that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Ali Larter. I'm hearing that the plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over. Not Jessica, not the whipped-cream chick from Varsity Blues, and that leaves...someone we've seen before. Of course, all that is subject to change due to the current holding pattern.

Um... isn't it, the shell dies, the alters die? I'm not getting how Niki can be dead (the shell) and the alters live on. What are they, like Meg (from Supernatural)?

Personally, a had a theory in the beginning of season one (that might have been crushed) that basically went like this: Nikki had a sister right? Jessica. And she died. What if Jessica had a power of her own? Like some kind of necromancy or something that made her live, like a parasite of sorts, in Niki because they were so close? That was what I thought Niki's schizophrenia was in the beginning anyway.. Now am I not entirely sure... But maybe, just maybe, it's something similar? I don't know. Just guessing. I would think that if the shell dies the second person dies as well... But this is Heroes.

Good point. Like, maybe this other alter has the power to heal herself. That would be cool.

mm interesting
I dont really get how her shell can die but a personality still exists 8shrugs*

but this is heroes Im sure theres something we werent aware of

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I didn't, either, but someone else had an idea that sounds plausible.

[bitterbird.livejournal.com]

unless Tim does a Joss..that could work..that when they say Niki is dead, they just mean the Niki personality, and her alter ego can live in her body which somehow survived?
does remind me of Angel, But I know you havent seen that so you maybe arnt familiar with that story line

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that maybe one of her abilities has the power to heal, so that would mean just that Niki herself is dead and that alter has the ability to live.

Yeah, I would need to see the episodes.

Fred/Illyria thing was the first thing that comes to my mind reading the spoilers. *nods*

[bitterbird.livejournal.com]

aww great minds hey? :D
would be soo cool if Niki got blue streaks! lol I love Illyria she was cool :) Although I missed Fred soo much!

[icrush.livejournal.com]

To be honest I didn't like much Illyria, probably because what happened with Fred. But yes, would be awesome have Nikki back wearing a colored uniform or something *lol*

[ritaskleinewelt.livejournal.com]

i swear, if they cut nathan from the show for that tramp nikki, then tim kring is going to hear from me personally. ::humph::

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. Maybe they'll decide to keep them both, because there's no way they're done with the Nathan storyline.

[jainadurron.livejournal.com]

Kristin's an idiot. And Kring's said they're rethinking everything they did pre-strike. So I wouldn't listen too much to this.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm totally aware that she's an idiot, and she knows how to stir things up like nobody else's business. That "Save Our Show" crap stirs up and causes problems within fandoms every year. But, this was on Spoilerfix, so I thought it was worth sharing.

[shawnalasex.livejournal.com]

OMG arg i Liked Nikki..Pfft

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

Well, one of her alters is coming back.

[winter-dreams86.livejournal.com]

So basically, if it's someone we've seen before, and it's not Jessica, that leaves...Gina?

What are they, like Meg (from Supernatural)?
Good question. I have to wonder if Niki is a demon, keeping whatever shell she inhabits "alive" like the demon did with Isaac in 3x01.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

Nope, because they said it wasn't going to be the Varsity Blues whipped cream girl, which would be Gina.

That would be awesome if they decided to go with that angle!

[icrush.livejournal.com]

That seems more like Fred/Illyria thing, don't you think? that was the first thing that comes to my mind reading your post.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I actually don't know. I never watched "Angel." All I know is that they usually have her in purple for fanmixes. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] may share your thinking, though. She brought up "Angel."

[sammynce.livejournal.com]

Fuck i love Niki. I totally want to know what they will make with it
I totally want to know what will happen
It really sucks

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks like it'll be interesting.

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

Hmm...Gina is alive in Niki's body, but Niki is dead? Okay...well, I really don't see the point of this, except it's unusually cruel to Micah.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's Gina. I mean, it says "not the Varsity Blues whipped cream girl," and I think that's referring to Gina.

Maybe it's the future version of Niki that survives. That would be a cool angle.

Yes, that is really cruel to Micah.

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

It's all so strange, I don't really see the point of killing Niki at all. The writers really hate the Sanders family. *sigh* I just hope they don't hate the Petrelli family too.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

You know, I think the writers love the Petrelli family. They have all of the drama written around them, which is good.

[avaserenity.livejournal.com]

As much as I like Niki I want to knwo when were going to get some info on Nathan. He's the one everyone really wants to know about.

I take the things that Kristen says with a grain of salt becasue she usually wrong... or her info has some truth to it but is so far off base.

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I know, right. I totally understand that. He's the one I really love.

Well, yeah. Plus, she tries to stir things up.
