Despite being on holidays a couple of weeks ago, I swore to myself to do the very un-vacation thing of watching the finale to television’s finest new show of this past season, Heroes.  It was the sort of thing I didn’t want to hear about from others upon my return from Canada’s west coast; or to read about in the newspaper the next day.  You know what I’m saying.
 

Throughout the season, there had been reports that a few-to-several of the characters would be killed off.  Naturally, as a gay man who admittedly enjoys a little eye candy to go along with quality writing, acting and directing, I became a bit nervous while trying to figure out which of the heroes’ days were numbered.  Certainly the body count would be mostly the villains of the show.  I mean, the producers wouldn’t dream of giving the boot to any of the really attractive heroes, their physical attributes no doubt at least partially responsible for the show’s popularity and success.   Right?
 

Man, was I wrong.  In one of the final episodes, the character of Isaac Mendez (who has—or rather, had–the ability to see into and then paint the future on large canvases, especially when he was high) was killed off.  It was one of those, this-can’t-be-happening moments for me, considering that Isaac (actor Santiago Cabrera), with his wavy hair, dreamy brown eyes and unshaven appearance was one of the show’s hottest heroes.  While grieving the unexpected loss of this stud, I assured myself that the other yummy heroes would be spared.
 

Wrong again.  In the final episode, flying hero/politician Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar) sacrificed himself and his all-powers absoring male nurse (now there’s a fantasy!) younger brother Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) when he took him up, up and away from NYC in order to save half of Manhattan from “The Exploding Man” (the result of a power of Peter’s too overwhelming for him to the control). 
 

The scene where Nathan flies in from above for this rescue/suicide mission certainly gave my tear ducts a work out and a half, particularly when the sizzling siblings exchanged “I love you” with one another before embracing and flying away from NYC, towards the stars and the duo’s inevitable demise.
 

Makes me wonder what next season has in store for the Heroes audience, particularly gay men and straight women.  Of the total of eight appearing at the beginning of the season, six were male and two were female.  With the finale, three (of the hotter) male heroes are now toast, leaving behind Hiro, Matt, Micah, Claire & Niki.  Will there be fresh meat to enjoy, or will the writers somehow bring back some if not all of the deceased characters from the dead?   And Hiro’s time traveling final scene of the season certainly had me scratching my head, that’s for sure.
 

It’s going to be a long summer before those questions are answered!
 

Cheers,

S.R.
