Heroes, revisited...AGAIN.
OK,
I'm close, but I have to revise that last entry. Here it is:

I believe firmly that the W.H.O.-type organization that I spoke of is there. But I believe that there are TWO major groups, and one minor one.

ONE group of people represents the benevolent type, protecting the information about the genetic discovery. But the other is out to use it for personal gain, or world domination. HRG I believe, from what I can tell, is mixed up with the bad organization, and that organization included Mr. Nakamura at the top of it somewhere.

I do NOT believe that Hiro's dad, Mr. Nakamura, is together with Linderman. I believe that these 2 men are part of 2 different groups. At the moment though, there is no way to tell which one is really the benevolent one. It would seem that the one that HRG is mixed up with are bad guys, and now that he knows this, or senses this, he wants out. He did not know who Linderman was! That was key to me that his group is separate. This would also make Linderman's group the so-called "good" guys. However, just because Linderman healed a plant doesn't mean that he's a good guy. It would seem that my tables from my last entry could be completely turned, and that Linderman could actually be a type of God. HRG is a sort of type of Godly man, or really good person. I'm convinced that he at least is virtuous.

As far as Syler is concerned, he is not a consequence of either group at all. He's just another person with the genetic anomaly, and his has manifested in a way that absorbs other's talents, like Peter Petrelli. However, what is being exhibited in Syler (which is of course simply the name of a watch company that made really good imitation watches in a Swiss style) is the very negative aspects of the human nature when allowed to run unchecked by morality and discipline. Do we honestly believe that if Suresh didn't pull the trigger on him he would have worked it out with him and became a real partner? 99.999 not.

About that 3rd "minor" group. It seems that there is a renegade group of people who have "defected" from the whole group of people "in the know" about the genetic anomaly. Mrs. Petrelli, who had the "superior say-so" in the matter of Claire and what happened to her, and who obviously commanded the Haitian all of the time, is part of this group. HRG knew this all of the time as well, and he purposefully sent Clair to that group of people when the chips were all the way down. This is all hidden from the Petrelli brothers, even after Nathan goes to kill Linderman in the hotel kitchen with the gun. Nathan and Peter knew nothing of him then.

Could it be that Mrs. Petrelli and Mr. Linderman were once married? I mean, we've met her as Clair's grandmother, but am I missing or just forgetting something in saying that we have have never met her mate, or have an idea of who he is? Who is the grandfather of them all in that group, and is he alive? Mr. Linderman is a good candidate.

As far as the actual plot, it could go in as many different ways as there are people posting theories online. Because you have a shape shifter, two people who absorb everyone else's talents, one who kills to get them, and the other who simply absorbs them, a guy who goes back in time, one who reads minds, a couple of them who can touch machinery like computers or telephones and manipulate them to their own ends, a nuclear guy, and a couple of fly boys - then shake and add the power to bodily regenerate - and you've got a huge amount of possibilities. Anything can happen here. I'm not even gonna try. I'm more interested in the stories' motives and underlying purposes, as usual. Besides the changes noted above, I'm still sticking with the same theory that I posted in my last post about why, as far as the genetic code. It's just that now, after the last show we have evidence that suggests that there are 2 different groups, like I did say, but that they are most likely mutually exclusive, and of course, at odds.
