Okay, that's a big ol' NO as to how DL dies. We just saw him survive a direct-strike blow without warning; he could easily have survived that.

I do like that we finally have an explanation for that whole Niki/Jessica/Gina mess, though.

Just watched it, I agree..WTF!
I am looking forward to Adams contributions to the show.

I agree. Plus, I'm glad that they showed that his power is slightly different from Claire's. She can't heal unless the appropriate body part is connected to her intact brain, but Adam's blood can heal ANYONE, even outside of his body. Nevertheless, I wonder if the Petrellis might be descended from him.

It may be the same case as Matt and his father. Adam has had centuries to maximize his abilities. Claire is just starting. She may outgrow her limitations like Adam has one day. Plus if he is the progenitor of the current Heroes, then his blood may have the unique ability to work on all of them unlike someone like Claire.

True. And we've seen Claire start to experiment with her regeneration. Of course, her powers kicked in when she was a baby and his didn't until he was an adult, so they might not be identical. Or it could be that they didn't activate until their lives were in danger.

I think age does not matter, considering some kick in when they are young and others when they are well in to adulthood. Like Nathan didn't start his till he was married and had two kids. Micah started as early as 9 or 10. Plus some like Hiro were never in danger to begin with then they started manifesting.

He thought he might have gotten punched; takes longer for a guy to rear back a punch than it does to calmly point a gun at your heart. He only survive the bullet in season 1 because it missed his aorta.

I don't know... There was a noticeable pause between the gun being brought to bear and the actual shooting. But DL had to die for story purposes, so it's a case of Just Go With It.

[enigmacub.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they will retcon DL's death with the "fixing" of this time line. When you have two characters who can time skip, then anything they want can be undone.

The Gina thing explains why Nicki/Jessica didn't recognize DL in the club. It also make me wonder how many personalities she could have tucked inside her?

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Somehow I doubt that DL's coming back except in flashback form. The storyline wherein he was killed doesn't interact with either Hiro or Peter, so I can't see how they would get involved. Besides, if DL didn't die, then Micah wouldn't have gone to stay with the extended family and we wouldn't've gotten to meet Monica, who is currently a favorite of mine, despite her limited screen time.

[enigmacub.livejournal.com]

Very true. But I like DL a lot. Plus the fact he was on Buffy for a while also adds to that. Personally I wish there was a way to have Jessica come back just to off the drug dealer who killed DL. Nicki would never do it, but Jessica would totally do it for her little sister.

He should have shot him from behind and that would have made more sense....but for dramatic effect!

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And besides, weren't DL & Jessica leaving the club when they were walking down those stairs? How did Shooty McShooterson get ahead of them?
