The final chapter of Heroes – Vol. 5: Redemption closed its books last night, but not before giving fans a Prologue of what we can expect in the next Volume: a Brand New Hope.

But before we get into all the Next Season hype, what did you think of the Season finale for Redemption? Was it everything you had hoped for? Admittedly, I came into the Season finale approximately 21 minutes late. 21 CRUCIAL minutes! So, if you wanted to fill me in one what happened in on those crucial minutes, please let me know in the comments. Aside from that, a few things happened. Here’s an extremely quick re-cap (again, please fill me in on what I may have missed): Sylar and Peter Petrelli are now “Brothers,” Claire-Bear and Noah make it safely out from the depths of dirt Hell thanks to Tracy, Hiro finds his lost love Charlie and inevitably accepts his fate of…not being together, and finally, Samuel (poor Samuel) no longer has his powers nor does he have his Carnival.

But wait, there’s more!

After the (what I felt was an) abrupt ending of Redemption, Claire took it upon herself to realize Samuel‘s “Vision.” That in which there was a World where nobody had to hide what they are. So, in true cheerleader fashion and taking us way back to Season 1, Claire climbs atop someplace high to jump off of. And since they were at a Carnival, guess where she decides to jump off of? A high ass ferrish wheel! To top it off, the press was there! Aiya! What are you doing girl? You can probably figure out what happened next. Yup, now the World knows that there are “gifted” people with “special” powers.

Then the curtain falls.

/end scene.

What happens now? If the World as we know it, knows about these “special” people, how will the World react? Banish them? Embrace them? Or, make a another side-show of them? I guess we’ll find out. But riddle me this Heroes-man, why in the hell did they decide to make Sylar a good guy?!?
