Um. Don't see where I said it should be Papa Petrelli. Might have said it in another thread or something.
Still, rather a totally new character than HRG.
that's what I was replying too...
personally I'd go in a different direction with heroes.
I wouldn't really introduce anymore characters. But rather, as the fate of the world is constantly in flux, I'd have those heroes who are good rotate, and those that are bad, rotate. Heroes becomeing villains, and visa versa. Precisely how it would end up working in the real world. (i.e. some days, Hiro is a good guy, sometimes not, dependent on the situation he is in. Future Hiro was a little more villainous, while current Hiro was a nice guy) Take that idea, and take it to further extremes. Just how Hiro and Peter were pitted against each other in the finale, because their seperate world views clashed (Peter was being mislead, but the concept is all there)
I mean we have all these people with powers. And they've shown, that some start off good, and end up bad. The opposite is therefore possible. And we've also heard from the elder generation, that they started off good, and some slowly became evil over time.... and thats how I feel the show should go.
Instead of bringing in a new villain to fight every season, why not turn established characters into villains... and bring in new characters the same way they have always generally done (new character, discovers new powers, and must deal with life until said new character gets dragged into what is already a soap opera)
I've never really liked the narrative idea in TV, where each season is a new villain (think Buffy, or Angel, most seasons ended, with a villain being beaten, and a new villain showing up for the next premier). It's not to creative IMO. I would much rather see established charcters fall (ie. what they did with willow in Buffy), rahter than new randoms who just show up to cause trouble, because the writers have run out of bad guys to fight
