I watched the pre-show before the premiere, they showed some sneak peeks to the season and helped catch up where we had left off.
I KNEW the shooter was Peter! ha but that he's screwed stuff up sooooo badly, ugg. I actually am okay with Sylar getting Clair, because she's right... she has no defense. As tough as she is for not being able to die she is very vulnerable! I want to see what she does about that, we got a glimpse of her tougher side in the future. Poor Peter, he just can't understand that with all his powers, he cannot always jump around fixing everything because it is very much a butterfly effect. Mom Petrelli is a biotch! I can somewhat see her reasoning for helping Sylar in order for him to possibly hunt down the level 5 escapees but still... he's got the potential to be the worst baddy of them all if he gets all those powers as well. Mohinder, the dumbarse should have created a freaking cure before injecting himself!! I wouldn't miss him if he melted into a puddle of meta-goo. Parkman came across another future-painter... cool! I think Linderman is somehow mentally influencing Nathan AND Niki, powers of persuasion kinda thing. He probably found and healed Niki, placing her in her current position in order to get Nathan where he wants him.
And don't forget THE biggest freakin twist!!
"The Petrelli boys have a new brother, and it's none other than powerobbing supervillain Sylar. The shocking revelation was made by Angela Petrelli in the premiere's closing moments." (
