i read from E! online kristin soilers that Niki will not be back but we might be seeing more of Jessica in the next volume......could it be that Niki dies but Jessica (her second personality) comes back in some peculiar way...very weird in my opinion.

thats pretty weird since she was blown up in the building ........
so im pretty sure jessica died with nikki but i have been wrong before
but i doubt it lol

i don't doubt that the jess personality could have found a way to a window or back door, maybe Nikki made a deal with...herself...sort of...

i like how starwarsgeek corrects me lol ur wicked dude =]

and yeh that would be pretty weird to see her make a deal with herself...

I don't know how that could be, Jessica was merely another personality that Niki took on as result of her fracture from the manifestation of her abilities. It was all just MPD.

Please let that be BS. I loved Niki and was really sad to see her die, but can't we just let people stay dead?

Niki is such a great character and adds so much to the show.

I really think that Niki will live. First off Mohinder realized that she still had/has the virus and he still has claires/his blood with him. Second Micah phoned the police before hand, im not sure if this is good or bad but they might be able to save her...sort of, or they may even contact Mohinder and he may now know where to find her.

i don't mind Niki or Jessica come back...As long as Ali Larter stay on the show i'm happy. Even if its Gina i'm happy

Micah could have a nightmare involving Jessica? Like Niki had one with DL

let her die already.

Hopefully, she'll be back.

personally I would rather have Nathan back over Niki.

Niki's character was good when she had Jessica and the problems she faced dealing with that etc, now she's resolved that her character has served its purpose now with the virus she really is nothing she was nothing more then a secondary character throughout volume 2.

very gd point

i really dont think niki or nathan should go, they have been there since the beggining and the i dont think the show would be the same without them

I was sad when Niki died (well, we suppose she's died - technically the show hasn't actually confirmed that she's dead yet - coulda got out of the building somehow before the explosion?) and i would love it if she came back/survived but i do agree that its getting a bit mad with characters dying then coming back to life again. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for HRG, Niki, Monica and whoever else staying in the show but any time anybody dies its...well...a bit pointless as they can easily be brought back to life...

i could see the new season starting with her on the edge of dying still in the building, and the new villian or whoever he works for, saving her, and turning her into a villian

^^^
that would be interesting....

Yeah, that would be kinda interesting but I agree with hellblazer. She isn't as important in the second season.

Nathan over Niki. Definitly his character has made some major development this past season. But I agree characters should just stay dead. I would like to see them in a time travel/illusion or whatever but they can't just keep resurrecting people like that. Would make the show boring

I'd personally rather have Nathan back than Nikki, but that's just my opinion.

I hope Nikki or Jessica wont come back.
This could only make Micah stronger!
Micah & Monica could form great team!

I would prefer Nikki over Nathan, she is a much more interesting character, Nathan is so serious !!!

she should die.. that would be the best for the show.

I thought it would be cool, if Nikki came back all messed up and crazy from the explosion. Going on a rampage like World War Hulk. Think about it, she would be bitter at Mohinder for not getting to New Orleans to cure her, so she goes on a rampage to get to Mohinder but Bob throws everything the company has at her to stop her but nothing works. Then they bring in Micah who calms Nikki down and then they explain to her that Sylar is the cause of all this...then Nikki goes after Sylar and kills him.

its already confiremd ali larter is in season 3 and that niki is alive as jessica. i think the person who stated she goes crazier is right. would explain jessica being in charge and not hiki ehrself if niki went totally off deep end. Would be interesting twist for Jessica to be the more stable of the 3

Nikki, DL, Micah and Monica are the most irrelevant main characters ever.

Fact: DL died and nothing important happened to the overall plot
Fact: If Nikki is indeed death, there´s still wont be anything happening to the overall plot

They are, at most, filler characters used only to show that not only white people have super-powers. Call them Tokens if you like. But they are not in the same category than Hiro , Peter, Nathan, Matt, Mohinder, Parkman, Sylar, Claire and Noah. Heck, even Maya and Elle are more important overall.

Yet...

Oh, and kill off Nathan. It's good for Peter's character development, and since there's another flying person (though Wes is a stupid little s***), there's no other character yet with super strength. If Nicky/Jessica got caught in the mirror or if Jessica saved Nicky (because we've seen that there can be the both of them physically in one place at once -i.e. a la Parkman beatdown), then it could lead to some kickass showdowns or partnerships.

when you see htem both its in their head their perspective. If ya remember the ep he heard them both becuase of his power and when he told Jessica he heard Niki she was surprised.

I have a question. Is it at all possible that maybe only one personality died and thats Niki? So maybe either Jessica will come back or that other personality Gina or whatever her name was. Cuz I heard that Ali Larter would be back in season 3




Yeah definately, me too. As you can see



I agree, Micha will be so angry that both of his parent are dead and he will be different, kinda like how Future Hiro was after losing Ando. I think that would make Micah a more interesting character.

But this is the first time where you see both Nicky and Jessica actually in the same physical environment, with neither one being seen in the mirror...

I get that Parkman would be able to read Nicky/Jessica's mind, but they are actually speaking to each other, not communicating via telepathy -you don't hear them from the "inside Parkman's head" perspective (with the echo and everything) that you normally hear when he's reading minds.

As for Jessica being surprised, maybe it's because this shows that Nicky might have actually there, and not just trapped in the mirror.

Oh, and we've seen that these powers have the ability to "evolve" so maybe she can "split" her personalities... just a hunch is all, and who knows where they'll take any of these character's powers.

thing is kring nad others have already said multiple times that niki is one person who is sick in the head. and that jessica and gina are in her head for lack of a better term. her power is super strenght not having multiple personalities.

Can't be just a normal sickness, because multiple personality disorder doesn't make a helix tattoo appear on your right shoulder.

Just SAVE NIKKI!!! she's a great character, and was a very important aspect of season1, they need to bring back her importantance in season3

i don't really think niki has a simple case of MPD, i think what we've seen thats its a little bit more than that, like with her fight with candas in s1, jessica tells niki that its not her.
it might not be whats going on, but i always thought it was something more, i mean isaac always painted her fractured.

i think my fv paitning was when he goes over to the painting of niki knocked out and wipes away paint to reveal the helix on jessica's shoulder.

Gosh!!! Can you guys stop already with the BS of more than one person being there?
Even the writers that wrote this character told multiple times that its only her Disorder and not another person in physical or other form. Just a mental disease even in our world some people have.

The parts in season one that showed her both personalities at once talking to each other was just a EFFECT so we can see how they communicate in Nikkis head and share those thoughts of hers and her battle for the control over herself.

Back to topic.... I hope that they will bring back nikki in a relevant way (jumped out of a window, took a other door just in time or similar) and let her be nikki but with superstrength after Mohinder injects her and as cool as she was against the thug that was trying to kill monica by leaving her in that building. I loved how she stopped him even without superstrength! If she comes back like that and is more involved in the main plot together with monica and micha this time.
This character has lots of depth and can be developed further but got VERY underused through 2 whole seasons which is actually sad. I hope they change that in season 3 and give her more to do as also more interesting action.

As about the "Nathan over Nikki" Fans, I only can say that Nathan was part of the main plot for two seasons, played a bigger role and fulfilled his purpose! I don't have anything against the character but to be honest others that got as much developed as he and fulfiled their purpose (like Isaac and Ted) had to go to so I don't think it will be a big waste to do the same with nathan to make room for someone new.
It would also give Peter more freedom after all. Other than that, the way they killed Nathan was cool (by a assasin that looked a bit like West, did he joined HRG and works for the company now ? O_o).

yea season 1 at least she was used some but season 2 was total filler. it seemed they were tryin to use her to add to the badness of bob but it didnt work because it was SO small an amount of time. it also didnt work because too many peopel dont get that its mpd not another person. so the entire arc woudl mean nothing to them. they woudlnt get that bob was playing with her head with his comments about how it was the powers doing it. when we already had jessica stating to hall in 6 months ago that she came about when jessica herself died to protect niki. classic mpd. i liek that they at least attempted to study it and keep it right in her character unlike the joke version a lot of peopel do.

off topic: i study multiple personality disorder and am working my thesis on it thats why i'm quite interested in how its portrayed in tv/movies.

jessica/gina is just nikis illness as is clear in "four months ago"
i thought nathan was going to get 1 with the burned nathan

ye bob said that when abilitys manifest they can cause a split personality

But then when she's Jessica, how the hell does she suddenly get a helix tattoed on her and when she's back to being Nikki, it disappears. I've never heard of split personalities doing that...

it deosnt make sense i know but its just there to show that its her not niki

Yes it does that, but this symbol comes out everyewhere and its been used by certain people.
Peter has had it tattooed on him (afetr the other one fromed into it), also with destroying the virus.

Plus the Hatian has it on him, he gave it to Peter

This is of high importance, like I think Jessica comes back next season because she is the company's puppet. Thats what I though in the first season, Linderman was so obviously using her as the weapon.
So I think alot of those Villians next season aee gonna be from the company and one will use Jessica to get what they want.

To be honest, I would rather have nikki back but really stable. Get rid of the Multiple Disorder and get her team up with micha and monica! Let her take care of her family for ONCE, get rid of her virus and let her join the other heroes together with micah and monica to help against the villains!
Stop keeping her in the background and give her something that show her real potential.

One of her best scenes ever was when she beaten up the guy that had locked Monica even without SS and that was awesome! More of that please.....

i woudlnt mind jessica being thre too cause of how they were balanced in the finale. but yea it started as how happy a family they were and now they are leaping of fa lciff to do the eact opposite even with jessica there you could tell micah knew how to deal with her.

I hope they stay dead as well I hated Niki I wanted her dead from the start. But I could also care less for Micah and Monica. I hate Micah always have he's annoying a** all hell and Monica lost my respect when she didn't even attempt to fight the thugs. She can mimic any move for christ's sake a group of thugs should be easy work for her.

i think nikki over nathan. nathan seems a bit distant to me, not in a good way. he never seems really there...more like a ghost

maybe its a long shot but i think its sorta god trying to show that the symbol has a connection to an evolved human

I think the helix is just a TV convention, to help us just distinguish the personalities visually.

I don't know how they'd make her survive. The only way she could survive would be if someone saved her. Jessica can not do anything. They share the same body, which is infected by the Shanti virus. Even if the Jessica personality took over, she would be unable to do anything. We've also seen Niki use the super strength herself, without the Jessica personality taking over, so we know that it's not connected to the Jessica personality. She's just willing to use it more. So Niki is in a building that has just exploded, and has no powers whatsoever.

How the hell do you think she survived?

The most logical explanation for these Niki spoilers is that Jessica is a new character. Ali Larder may be in the new one, but she must have a different function. DL was in vol 2, but he was a hallucination and a flashback. It could be possible that Niki is the same.

tjere were multiple exits she could have used to get out. since we didnt see her body and if you watch just hte front facade of the bulding explodes NOT the entire building its possible she didnt die. i bleieve the jessica rumors are moreso because niki shuts herself down and jessica takesover. not that jessica miracously survived and niki perishes.

Honestly you have to look at the company in terms of Nikki.

I think Bob did something to her to "make her right". There is something more to that thanx meets the eye. I beleive that has something to do with Jessica next season and I like I said she is the Company's weapon in my opinion.

I also havae this feeling that she is Adams bride, it seems workable

I would agree something had to have occured that we are not aware of, mostly because there is no way you fix MPD that quickly. Niki/Jessica channels their strength through broken parts of the mind. And to have all her personalities just disappear, doesn't work for me. So, I doubt we've seen the last Jessica, maybe some of the others. But Jessica is a fighter and a survivor.

Would be cool to see her as a villian. That is if she survived.
