Hopefully its more exciting then it sounds.

hmm... "Invisible Thread" and:

Spoiler

Christopher Ecclestones IMDB page shows:
"Heroes" .... Claude (6 episodes, 2007-2009)
- Chapter Twelve 'An Invisible Thread' (2009) TV episode .... Claude

How awesome would it be if Noah pulls him out of the hat to help them out.

 

[Maximus One]

WOAH!!! I soooo hope that is true. Maybe he could come back and try to help Peter again or somethin hell i dunno. Wouldnt it be great though if he became a series regular

He is an awesome character but I think the appeal lies in the fact that he could just pop up at anytime, and only features in a few episodes at a time.

If him and Noah work together it will be immense, throw in some Haitan and we have ourselves a great end to the Vol.

 

[The Englishman]

Please let Claude be back!!!!

 

[Matt]

Keep in mind this is IMDB so don't put too much stock in it. Some one probably saw invisible in the title and editted it.

 

[BoredGuy]

Producer's debunked the claude thing, not sure of the source though...

 

[RonStoppablefan]

I really do hope Clade comes back in the episode it'd be so cool. I want him to maybe save Peters life some how or help him like give advice. Or maybe have Peter save Claudes life if he helps Noah some how that'd be cool.

 

[Sawyer]

Theres a quote by Kring that he says a character will be returning that we'll be shocked to see again. I kind of assumed it would be a dead character, but Claude works.

 

[Ryudoz]

I would be shocked if it was actually Claude that came back, but it's highly doubtful he'll be there.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Hopefully its more exciting then it sounds.

Seriously haha

I'd guess Tracy. She did give us that Iceman wink a few weeks ago.

 

[shoelessthunder]

Really, guys?
Am I the only one that doesn't think that sounds boring?
Maybe I'm easily entertained...but I for one am excited!

 

[Steyin]

This episode better be good/action packed, since the finale eps have sucked for both seasons/all volumes thus far.

 

[shoelessthunder]

True that, Steyin.
It really wouldn't take much for this to actually be the best finale of any season/volume so far. So if it's a really good conclusion, it can take the spot as best finale of any volume AND any season so far.
Now that would be nice.

EDIT: The way this volume has been building up so far makes me want to believe that the writers have fixed at least a decent amount of the problems this show has had going for a while now. So if they can finally keep the momentum going into a finale that actually exceeds the expectations set by the previous episodes, then they should be able to hit it out of the park with this finale. Of course, that's only if the improvement in quality hasn't been purely coincidental this volume. I had no doubt the last few episodes would kick ass until I saw '1961.' Now, I'm a little bit worried. But look at like the three or four or however many episodes before that. They were all awesome. So if they keep the lead-up momentum going like they did with Shades of Gray -> Cold Snap -> Into Asylum -> Turn and Face The Strange, then we should be all set. Those were all quality episodes. Just let the last two be on par with that run and I will be a satisfied viewer/fan.

 

[Matt]

Well, based on the preview, I'd guess Nathan is dead. Between Angela freaking out and Sylar's little "Claire is going to be so mad at me," line...it just seems most likely.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

Yup, seems Nathan dies. There was a canidian promo or at least this is what I heard from the spoilers website. Noah says "Nathan is gone for good" in it. I think the Peter V.S Sylar will happen after Nathans death, revenge for Peter. But hey'll prob get the scar in it.

 

[GL1]

I really don't see how or why Peter should be getting any Scar. Ugh.

Anyway, I hope that someone dies and stays dead. If they do, then I may actually start to gain respect for this show, who knows they may even change the typical status quo on these. This will be the third finale to prominently feature something that should by all accounts kill Nathan irrevocably. Lets hope it sticks.

 

[Deaths Head II]

If Nathan survives another death, that will be 3 deaths for 3 seasons. It's getting ridiculous. Well it's always been ridiculous, but at this point it will just be mockable. Well it's already mockable, but...I forgot where I'm going with this.

But of course, they could be misleading people to think it's Nathan on purpose.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, three strikes and you're out, Nathan. He's gotten plenty of second chances.

Death's really do need to stick on this show. The only main character death that has stuck is DL and that was laaaaame. Hopefully this one is an actual moment.

 

[Matt]

I actually want Nathan to live. His character has been by far the most interesting this volume. Even if he decided to join his father and start this "Round up the meta-humans," initiative out of no where with zero development, this volume his development has been handled brilliantly and he has become the bright spot of the show. To kill him off now is disappointing and an easy out. I'd rather see Nathan have to fix his mistakes and become a herald of the meta-human, a Professor X-type character, than just get the easy out of him dying. If any one needs to die it is Sylar.

I dont want him to die either, but I'm about 99.99% certain its him that's going to be six feet under in six days. But if- if they give him some sort of cliffhanger death, then i'd prefer they just kill him and get it over with. It'll have been the third one... just stick a fork in him.
Sylar and Claire can both die as far as I'm concerned. And Hiro..... grow up or you can join them.

 

[JPC4]

I think sacraficing Nathan would actually help the show. I do see that there is alot of room for his character to grow if he stays alive. But his death would effect more people (Angela, Peter, and Claire in particular) and help their storylines next volume.

 

[Matt]

I think Peter's death would be the most effective and make the most sense thematically. But the writers don't have the balls to do it.

 

[GL1]

Peter is the only character that has any reason to be an anchor of the show. They've been using Nathan and Sylar, and even HRG for really bad reasons to really bad effects, but Peter is actually the one who's always championed their connectedness. If they had brought in new valid anchors for the themes of the show, then, yeah, kill Peter, but as is... there's no one to be 'that guy' on Heroes. Thematically, Peter is a necessity.

I think if Nathan and Sylar irreparably die (like as clear cut as Adam's death), then I'll be a happy man. I'll also have good vibes about Heroes for its fourth Season.
