I actually said, out loud at the end, "Heroes, you're dead to me now."
I mean seriously? *Seriously*? Freakin' *Maya* gets to come back, but we lose *Nathan*? After a season where he barely got anything to do because we spent all that freakin' time with Maya and Alejandro?
It's incomprehensible to me, LaT! I keep trying to tell myself that Kring must understand which are the interesting characters and which are the ones that aren't working, but I don't actually have that much faith. I can NOT believe Maya survived and Nathan seemingly didn't. I really don't get it.
I think there's a possibility Nathan might not survive in part because of something I read from an interview with Tim Kring, which I won't go into in case you'd consider it too spoilery. But also, just in terms of storytelling, they ended the first season with a cliffhanger about whether Nathan would survive or not, and he did. Would they do the same thing again? And then, they've already saved so many people with blood. Aren't the writers going to feel like that's a cheat at some point?
On the other hand, you're right. It did look like a setup. Nathan practically had "assassinate me" tattooed on his head. And it would have been an interesting ploy for them to see how far the company (and, hey, their mother) was willing to go.
Maybe they'll surprise me, and Nathan survives because he was wearing a bulletproof vest! That would be so delightfully...normal. *g*
