I think he should have disappeared last episode! I don't want him dead, I just don't want him in any future episodes! I know that I did say that. I stand by this statement, " That actor is the worst kid actor in the world!"
Aggie
If both Niki and Micah die, ever, I'm going to feel seriously robbed of my viewing time - it would be a total waste of all their character development.

I get the feeling that Heroes isn't the sort of show where they kill off children or cute animals too.

I agree Aggie. They wouldn't "kill of children or cute animals too (Mr. Muggles)." rolleyes.gif

I do wish he wasnt so young because his power could be very cool to see in action more often, now molly is ok because any age can use that power. eh maybe peter will soak up his power and ill get my wish
MrsGoogly
NO! Micah shouldn't die! He has one of the coolest powers, he's a child genius, he loves his powers, and he's going to be Monica's sidekick! Plus, I'm looking forward to a future episode featuring DL Sanders, son of Micah and Molly! biggrin.gif

I agree that Micah has a cool power. I wish that he wasn't so young, and didn't have such a cool power. I don't like this actor, or should I say overactor. dry.gif By the way, that's weird if Micah and Molly are having a child together.

Oh yes, totally weird. But they have so much in common! And with their combined powers they could make another Hana! laugh.gif

I just like pairing characters off.
biggesheroesfan
Well, I don't know if they WILL pairing people off. I don't think they'll make another Hana. Explain.

Any child born of Micah and Molly's combined powers could have Hana's power.

This should probably be in Speculation! laugh.gif

I don't want Micah dead, I just want him off the screen.

His power makes sense for him to be involved in the Heroes 360 and other online stuff, even in some GNs...but his TV story has pretty much run its course...

I think Micah has loads of potential. Not just as Niki's son, but as Monica's sidekick. His and her power could really be effective together: he's the brains, she's the muscle.
Sifr
The relationship between Micah and Monica was far more enjoyable to watch than the god-awful scenes between him and Niki. I think Micah should stick around with Monica, they made a great, funny team last season, they have a great dynamic between them.

Noah Gray-Cabey isn't the worst child actor I've ever seen either.

To be honest, Noah Gray-Cabey and Adair Tishler frequently outclass Ali Larter and Nick D'Agosto as better actors and they're only... what? 12?
Mabes
I picked I don't care because I wouldn't be torn up either way, but I should have picked no because Noah is from Maine and Mainers gotta represent! laugh.gif

Augh, I understand that everyone has their own opinion, but sometime I think that people get character and actor/actress mixed up. Regardless of whether you like her character or not, her acting was never bad. The way that she pulled of being two people was great, and she put a lot of emotion into the character. Unfortunately, she just wasn't written well.

But yea, thats my rant.

As far as Micah dying, I think that he should stick around, just not with Niki. They should definately part ways or not be together because it does get a little old and it holds back both of the characters potential. Keep him with Monica, and keep him in the ARG. Thats my vote.

Okay...a wooden board could out-act D'Agosto. (And I am talking about the actor, not the character here.) His writing was, admittedly, bad, but the acting was just atrocious. But...that's just MHO...

Micah's character wasn't even a tenth as complicated as the Nikki/Jessica character. Ali made that character come alive and be one of the most loved, and most appreciated, character in S1.

Cabey may be, as far as child actors are concerned, good, but he in no way comes close to the level of talent Ali showed.

Now, that ends the mini-rant. Like I said, I don't really care for Micah's character on screen. He's (IMHO) much more suited for the online stuff.

Exactly! Like I said, she may not be that well written (or liked) but her acting was excellent, and better than many others on the show. (I'm not going to say any names because it's not really relevant, plus I don't want to even open up that can of worms...)

I completely agree with you! I think Ali, Adrian, Christine and Jack are the best actors on the show.

As for Micah...I probably like Micah more than I would normally because he is Niki's son. And I like having a character that is so young with powers. So, really don't want him dead. If his mom is dead or he thinks she's dead, they can really take his character many places. But I definitely like the Monica/Micah interaction. I hope they continue this in the next volume.

The only actors I sometimes don't totally believe are Sendhil Ramamurthy (particularly in anger), but I like Mohinder even though I think the writers really don't know what to do with him, whoever plays West (if anyone deserves Sylar'ing sliced.gif ), and I do find it annoying that both Claire and Niki have the exact same mannerisms - both actresses having apparently gone to the to-express-emotion-I-must-shake-my-head-continuously School of Acting.

I think Niki dying could be the best thing for Micah's character. I was loathe to have yet another child orphan on Heroes, but Micah actually laughs around Monica - something he rarely did with his own family!

I had never really noticed that head shaking thing with Ali and Hayden. What convinces me with them, but moreso with Ali, is the expression in their eyes. For example, right after DL was shot, she is splattered with his blood and she just sinks down the wall but her eyes told me exactly how she felt. Yes, it wasn't the best way for DL to die but Ali certainly acted the crap out of that scene. I really believed that a part of her died then.

The actor who annoys me most is Milo (yes, I realize that prob opens up a HUGE can of worms). Yes, he is friggin' HOT! But he speaks out of the side of his mouth like he is Thurston Howell (Gilligan's Island reference). I'll refer you to his first face off with Hiro in Powerless - "I can't let you hurt him!" My friends and I just burst out laughing.

And I do agree with you that Niki dying (or otherwise out of his life) could be the best thing to happen to Micah's character.

If you re-watch Heroes look out for the head shaking thing! laugh.gif Claire in particular does this alot. She's not alone - Lana from Smallville also subscribes to this method of acting.

I have to defend Milo's wonky mouth - he can't help that. What annoys me a little about him is his breathlessness - like he should have heaving bosoms to go with those doe-eyes! He does badass in control Peter very well, but there are times when Peter's unsure that it looks a little awkward.

I don't really like Micah as a character, but his abilities are invaluable. They haven't done anything with the character that has really driven me to think he should be gone.

SO until he starts crime-fighting in super powered techno-armor, Micah should stay!
Brennan
Naaaa, I think that him and Monica have good chemistry and I like the whole "Batman and Robin" direction that the writers can (and most likely will) go with.
TheEmpath
I love Micah biggrin.gif He's adorable. I don't think whoever plays him is a bad actor...
Raekon
Micah should stay! smile.gif
Gagsy
Oh my god! What horrible people some of you are =O

Micah is awesome and could really prove damn useful as he gets older. Seriously his ability is one of the best, so it's quite possible that Sylar himself would want it. Villians love controlling stuff!

Plus I totally see Micah/Molly in the future. What a cute first kiss that will be wink.gif
