A Quick HEROES Question

Can someone please explain Ali Larter's new character to me? I'm so damn confused by it. Is "Tracy" supposed to be Nicki's sister? I missed something along the way and just stare at her with a glazed over look on my face whenever she's onscreen.

yes, Tracy and Niki were 2 of 3 triplets, that were seperated when their birth parents died. A doctor experimented on them when they were babies which is how they got their powers.

I don't know if they're retconning Jessica out, because Jessica was clearly a real person as Nikki visiter her grave, and their (i guess adoptive) father apparently killed her. So, im not sure about all that anymore.

Jessica was the biological daughter of the Sanders, whereas Niki was adopted by them.

So....then I'm really confused. If Jessica and Niki weren't biological sisters, than how did they live "within" each other?

Jessica isn't really "living" within Niki. Niki clearly suffered from Disassociative Identity Disorder. Her brain took on the identity of Jessica as a secondary personality in order to deal with trauma.

i always thought that Jessica and Nikki were twin sisters... were they not?

No, Jessica was actually two years younger than Niki. They're not blood-related.

Who thinks that Heroes SUCKS now? The last two episodes were absolutely terrible. Almost as bad as PRison Break season 4.

i actually think the last 2 episodes have been redeeming. Its the lts the last 2 Volumes that haven't been great, especially Villiams.


and seriously

WHY THE **** IS NATHAN EVIL???

Yeah, I agree with the latter sentiment. I think the last two episodes have been pretty awesome, although I'm wary of the kid Sylar just picked up, who has the capacity to be supremely emo and annoying. Also, Hiro needs to realize that not EVERYTHING is his destiny.

Nathan is evil because he wasn't meant to survive the end of season 1. Haven't you noticed he's just spent two seasons wandering around doing freakin' nothing? The man is ridiculously beautiful and makes me all quivery when I look at him, but even I was getting fed up of the writers not being able to think of anything for the character to actually *do*. At least he has a direction this time, even if's somewhat out-of-character and totally makes it difficult for him to still be my favourite character.

Yep Nathan is evil but he's still pretty hot. I used to get so annoyed by his arrogance toward all the other characters. But now that he's basically become "The Dark Lord" his arrogance and disingenuous nature just comes off as the normal A-hole of the show.

I was actually pissed when Daphne died (only cuz she was kinda cute). Hiro's completely on my last nerve with his "destiny" spiel. And Sylar's new protege? Well I'm already irritated by him and his Rosemary's Baby-like quality.

she may be dead, but im not sure she's gone, cause i was looking at her IMDB the other day cause i wanted to see what else she had been in and she was listed as being in the episode after the next one.
