Heroes Finale: Kinda Gay

Was watching a bit of the Heroes season finale online with commentary from the executive producers. One of the producers said the show was lacking a great romantic relationship. Glad he basically conceded that the whole Issac, Simone and Peter love triangle was a snooze fest. He points to  the relationship between Noah Bennett and his daughter Claire as being sort of the alternative to that formula while maintaining  some of the familiar elements (star-crossed lovers and misunderstandings).

For me, there were two other relationships that mirrored the romantics paths of lovers pulled apart by personal flaws, and outside circumstances before they ultimately reunite. I have two brothers, but our love doesn't run  as deep as the love the Brothers Petrelli have for one another. Closer talkers, that bunch, and touchy. Guess they got from Mommy. Did you see the way she was all handsy with Nathan last night? Throughout the season, I just kept waiting for either Nathan or Peter to make the first move and do away with that undercurrent of sexual tension flowing between the two of them. My guess it would Peter, the sensitive one. But sensitive one are usually the tentative ones too. So it stands to reason that Nathan was the one to swoop in and offer his hand to brother. So that they could shoot off into the sky and burst into flames of passion after professing their love to one another.

Pretty much nothing could trump the homoerotic subtext of Peter and Nathan's relationship, but Hiro and Ando came mighty close. In Five Years Gone, FutureHiro impetus in correcting the past is saving Ando.   Sure Ando had a thing for Nicki/Jessica and any other pretty girl  that strolled his way, but who did he end up exchanging penises swords with at the end of the day. 


And did we ever figure out what the D. L.. in D. L. Hawkins stood for? Hmmm?  Not that I'm down with low down dirty type, but those arms and that shiny head could make me reconsider my position.
