What is This Guy’s Deal?

I love Heroes, I really do, but it is prone to doing things that make me crazy. Like another show I really like, Lost, it is doing this new thing that seem to be the rage among TV writers: stringing us along for entirely too long and leaving major questions unanswered for even longer.
I understand that a show needs to keep us in suspense, but sometimes they take it a bit too far. This guy in Heroes for example, Claire’s Dad, is way too creepy and the show has been promising for a while now to tell us what the hell is up with this guy.
Some time ago, the show teaser for the next week’s episode actually announced, ‘And what is up with THIS guy?’ and showed Claire’s Dad.
Next week came, no answer. I still have no clue if this guy is good, bad or indifferent.
I mean, come the frak on, is he a good guy or a perv? What’s driving him to do this stuff? Does he have a power or not? What is his frakin’ deal? And more importantly, how long am I going to have to wait? It’s not like there isn’t a thousand other questions you haven’t answered yet. Give us something.
Lost does this to me too, except that it’s a little worse. Major unanswered questions linger for frakin’ ever. If they keep it up and don’t start answering stuff soon, they run the risk of becoming tedious and we’re not going to believe what they finally do come up with when they say it. We’ll start to lose interest.
Personally, I don’t think they have the answers yet; I think the writers are all making it up as they go along. They’ll read blogs (like this) and listen to viewers until they hear something they like and they’ll go… “Oooh that’s a good idea, let’s do that.”
So, with that in mind (since OF COURSE the writers of that show are reading this blog), here is what I think this guy’s deal is: He is a bad guy. He has raised Claire for his own nefarious purposes. He wants Clare to become an indestructible fembot that can walk into Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Parlors and take all the money out of the kiddie rides, walking out unscathed from the inevitable gunfire that would ensue from such heinous a crime.
Then he’ll use that money to fund research into genetically engineering Tolkien Elves, just to annoy Shannon.
There. One less thing.

[…] Well two weeks in a row something actually happened, and Tony’s questions about Mr. Bennet have been answered. Unfortunately, new questions have been brought up. But that’s good, I was getting so sick of asking the old questions I’m glad to have some new ones. Now this week’s episode was focused primarily on Mr Bennet and his oh so artsy black and white flashbacks. Warning if you’ve TIVOed this and haven’t watched it yet don’t read any further (Tony). Another warning; I’m writing this deep inside a medication induced haze. Blame any omissions, mistakes, or grammar errors on the Nyquil and Thera-flu instead of on my unwillingness to edit, which is usually the culprit. […]
