RIP Alejandro

A gruesome way to die, but a true hero till the death.

Perhaps the most selfless character in Heroes thus far. I wish he had at least pwned Sylar before dying. If only his twin wasn't such a dimbulb.

Sucks for him.
He was just trying to protect his sister.
Maya will soon learn!
RIP man.

As soon as Maya controlled her own power, I knew he was gone. There was no more use for him.

i knew he was gone forever ago, and not from spoilers lol... story wise, I felt it coulda and shoulda happened sooner, but what can ya do?

but, I did like his character... he was a badass...

Its sad that he downfall was that he was fueled by a desperate attempt to save his sister. He just wanted to help her so badly. If he suspected Gabe was a killer, he shouldn't have just run in there without a plane.


I'm gunna miss him alot. Rest in peace Alejandro.

I knew he was gone after that also. God help Sylar if Maya finds out what really happened.

alejandro is the most worthless character yet in the heroes mythos and i'm really glad to see him gone. rest in pieces

R.I.P. Alejandro!

Even though there really wasn't much use for him anymore, it sucks that he died due to the poor judgment of his sister. He just wanted to protect her

Way to go Maya...

Poor Alejandro. He was just being a good guy and protecting his sister. He had the right idea and Maya chose to trust Sylar instead. And now Alejandro's paid the ultimate price for it. Maya's being led down a very dark path.

Rest in peace, Alejandro Herrera.

I knew you were doomed from the beginning, but that didn't make your passing any less painful. You showed a strong loyalty to your family that certain other characters on this show completely lack.

You sensed Sylar's evilness faster than any other character on Heroes. You were truly the only character to ever have a clue from the start. My faith in humanity has been somewhat restored.

You were also sort of hot.

Just saying.

And now, having said all this, I will probably end up writing crack!fiction for you like I did Theodore "Ted" Sprague. I apologize in advance, and I sincerely hope this will not dishonor your memory in any way.

are you forgetting that lyle exists?

Lyle is crack!fiction material. You leave him alone.

I will definately miss Alejandro, mainly for the Spanish. I enjoyed seeing another language introduced on top of Japanese. Will there be more nationalities introduced in the future? I never did know if he understood English or not, especially when he said that he was taking his sister back.

lol kit, for you, everyone is Crack!fic worthy! not that i mind lol, your fics are fracking funny! can't wait to see the ale one!

RIP Alejandro. Now I can't use the phrase "Maya y Alejandro". That makes me sad. You were indeed a selfless character, but I don't know why you married that cheating skank in the first place. Have fun in HEROES heaven.

I would like to dedicate my 1,800 post on these boards to Alejandro. Heres to a hundred more in your name, buddy.

I'm sorry, but these boards have really gone to heck when the only humor is to lament the lamest character to grace the screen. I hope Season 2 will get people talking again.

Oh yeah...most sincere regrets to Alejandro...may he rest his widdle head in peace 'n lovey land, he will always be remembered as the kind and lovey dovey soul that he must have been. smooches, dear one.

You are kidding me.

Alejandro is the fastest character to date to figure out that YES, SYLAR IS BAD without having the murderer do something really super obviously BAD in front of them.

That in itself is a noteworthy achievement.

Sorta.

You know what I mean. Sylar killed Mohinder's dad and still managed to pull off a roadtrip and being vaguely creepy towards him for three whole days before Mohinder found out. All it took with Alejandro was a book conversation and BAM. He knew something wasn't right.

I miss Alejandro. He was so sweet, caring, and protective of his sister. That was an awful way to go. Sylar is so evil (but I still love him ).

Crazy episode...

RIP Alejandro - you were so cute, too.

I'm tired of Maya already..how can she be so naive about Gabriel...even after her brother showed her the article about Sylar killing his mother. Alejandro has risked his life many times over for Maya, and she just turned her back on her brother like it was no big deal.

Now you've got to be kidding me.

The man marries a woman that decides to boff his best man -- at the reception. I don't think Alejandro's that perceptive.

Only humour. Have you looked around the boards lately. Try the fan fic section, there are some hilarious writings in there.

Oh, and Alejandro, you were truly selfless and your sacrifice will be remembered always.

I admit it... i secretly wished.. that someday Alejandro would just come up to Sylar, and say "I forgot to tell you, I actually speak english." and then.. at least level him with a punch or something..

but yeah.. RIP Alejandro... you will always be remembered as the smarter of the twins...

oh yeah.. just in case anyone that reads this part that knows Manny Pacquiao, that is who Alejandro always reminded me of... hahha

Poor Alejandro. Your death was only three seconds long before you were gone...

RIP Alejandro. I liked you a lot and I'm sad you had to go.
Most of all through stupidity of others. -.-

Alejandro was fast to understand Sylar's evil ways, I mean... that power of deduction would have been useful to know that his girlfriend was a skank but still... Maybe he was with her because of that in the first place.

So anyway... Good bye to my friend Alejandro may he party in peace with Isaac in latino's heaven!(Which is actually better than regular heaven... a lot of tequila without the hungover... And Brazilian top models dancing around all day...)

Maya is lonely and desperate. Her entire life is over, it's been flipped upside down and changed forever. She can never go back, and she doesn't even know WHY this has happened to her. Overnight she became a mass murderer, and her proof of innocence is INSANE. Can you blaim her for wanting to take Gabe as a sign from god? Especially in a time where she must, as a religous person, be feeling the creeping sensation that god has abandoned her.

Very nice, Leek. It is quite obvious that she is lonely and desperate. And Sylar just happens to be very good at manipulating people. It's almost like he knows how things work. lol.

When you think of the jounry Maya and Al have been on, its obvious for a long time they've been running on pure hope. What else can you do when you seem to get hit in the face at every turn? The little hope they have had was Suresh, that this doctor in New York would be able to offer some answers. And when you think about that, it's not such a huge thing to be depending on to begin with. Who knows if this dude will even belive you, or if what he is talking about it true.

But they needed something, and that's all they had. Sylar offerend tangible hope though. He was someone who she could reach out and touch telling her that he'd take care of her. Sure Alejandro took care of her, but Alejandro could only help her as much as he helped himself. In there situation, Sylar was really her only way out.

*dances on Al's grave next to Sylar*

*oh and the Sarmy is around us*

R.I.P Alejandro
He was trying to protect his sister, now look what happened.., i thought he was a smart man, to bad he had to die for it.

I am going to that heaven (I'm half hispanic) so bring the Brazilian strippers wooohooooo!

Alejandro served his purpose, to be a conduit for the Sylar fanboys and fangirls to cheer that he killed yet another person. And the way they write Sylar always justifying his kills ("I gave you a way out"...give me a break) is priceless. But as a character, Alejandro was really cool...inherently good, always protecting not only Maya but her unwitting victims too (even Sylar). A little naive in his goodness, although maybe he married the Skank because thats how he rolls.. ooopsss... I mean rolled..and she was hot though

Sorry to see a potential good character gone...when there are others that deserve it more... but Sylar was true to form, he really doesnt change, does he? LOL

We saw not Sylar check his pulse, there is no garuntee he is really dead. Chances are he is, but with this show, in Volume III when the do 15 minutes ago episode maybe we will see the maid find him the next day and call 911?

well thats what he gets for picking a fight.

What a waste!

What a waste of a brilliant twin storyline. It would have been so much better if Maya always had to depend on Alejandro (or whoever had his power). And I think the first twins with related powers on the show were broken up too soon.

Also, what a waste of a power! We'll never know if he could have been the cure for the Shanti virus now.

Alas my three favorite characters have died this season...DL, Alejandro, and Nathan's Beard. I want to see all three ressurected and working together to stop the virus...that would be my season finale. However...In their memory Spoon!

then by s

Simon Deveaux would challenge him for that title..but very glad to see him go and stop wasting bandwidth.

I will miss him yet it is sad that he didn't actually "TALK" to Maya and tell her that Sylar was working her to come between them.

Alas, someone must die and it is always the ones who care to much.

I would have told her to grow up get a spine and quit crying but that is just me.

(Note: Sylar can really work a girl can't he?) MEOW!

Worthless character to the end, at least West somewhat redeemed himself (they both ranked far below pointless on my meter most of the season).

As far as figuring out Sylar was bad, all he knew was some guy was moving in on his sister and in the wildest of coincidences knew the person that they were going to see. Which was true, he did know him, (as unbelievable as that probably was) all Al "figured out" was how to google "Gabriel Grey".

RIP Alejandro.

We wish we did not know ye well. Your storyline was boring at best and you had some weird vibe going on with your sister. Although you were one of the few people in the series who actually knew Sylar was a lunatic from the beginning you still could not save yourself from the abominable writing. Trying to protect your sister always gets good points from me but going after Sylar with nothing but the clothes on your back just lost all the good points you earned. (Come on, no broken glass? Blunt object? A ballpoint pen would work too you know.)

Oh yeah, sorry your sister is such a moron. Hopefully the two of you will meet again soon.

They are just catalyst for other characters to learn from.

Leek, I loved your explanation. I think you hit exactly what Maya is going through.

Since they showed Maya be able to control it, I thought they might've showed Alejandro be able to use the power the way she does. Especially when he went to confront Sylar. So, they both come full circle, able to both use and control the power they have.

That, for me, would've been one of two ways to make their characters worthwhile overall. The other way would of been to keep it the way it was with them two. One of them is needed to unleash the power, the other is needed to control it.

Either make them both be able to use and control the power, or make it a fact that they need each other to use and control the power.

But no, Maya's power comes full circle and Alejandro's doesn't because he is offed before it could. I thought it was very lame.

I personally was kind of irritated that him and his sister havn't really contributed much in the way of substantial story to chapter 2. I had thought that his plague healing abilities would be a good answer to the shanti virus that may get released, sounds like thats not gonna happen. I feel a little cheated, they have a couple of characters with the same abilities on the show and they bring Alejandro in with a potentially cool ability and before we even really learn the scope of his abilities, "death by Sylar"..

Seems like Sylar should have waited to try and figure out his problem, and maybe capture Alejandro's powers...

I never understood why so many thought he was the key to stopping the virus or should i say his ability. Mayas power isnt a virus or plague so Alejandro's power was worthless

I say Bye-bye to bad rubbish. Rest in many many pieces!

Al's character was never developed in what seemed like a long, long ,well; too long a journey.

I was bored with both of them forever ago. Al should have at least shown up with a weapon to challenge Sylar.
Very Lame. Sylar/Gabe is always the best part of the scenes.

I figured Al to be a red shirt a long time ago, so Se La Vie, Bro

Much more interesting new character in Elle as the Anti-Claire.

One twin down, one to go.

I think that Alejandro might be the cure for Sylar to use his abilities again. And hey, then he becomes a cure himself

Bingo. Sylar is powerless because the company gave him the virus.

Alejandro's power was to eradicate disease in people (a healer like Linderman).

By using his powers to keep Maya in check, he inadvertently cured the nearby Sylar of the virus.

Sylar now has his powers but doesn't know it.


That's just a theory. But it makes sense to me!

So why has Sylar shown no symptoms of being sick?

That's an awesome point. Alejandro was the smartest character on Heroes by comparison.

I hated the way Alejandro gotten taken down pretty much without a fight. He had to go, but at least he could have gotten a few licks in. The writers need to make Sylar work for his kills...
