Heroes- Now with spoilers!

maybe sylar impersonated him, like he did his brother the future president, and then exploded while he was still impersonating him so that's why he sees "himself" in his dreams....but in fact it isn't him, it's sylar.

No peter says it was him that blew up when talking to Nikki. I am pretty sure he would know

 

[Radagaster]

Here's what I don't get . . .at some point the Nuclear Man's power will be absorbed. By whom remains to be seen. Regardless, I would think that if Sylar or Peter blew up NYC, then one of them should officially be dead! But, in the 5 year future, neither of them are. So, based on THAT timeline, it doesn't make sense that either of them did, and still survive.

Now . . .assuming Peter did, because he'd absorbed Claire's power to handle regeneration, but I don't think he'd know to switch that power on and off in a jiffy! The only possible reason is if Sylar persuaded Nuclear Man to blow up, but we all know Sylar never got HRG's assistant's brain, and besides, Sylar would need to be far off in a distance to handle a nuclear blast because either way he never got to Claire.

Brain . . . .hurts.

Peter now has more or less complete control over his powers though, or at least Claires as he lived through getting the glass in the head.

I don't think it is going to be a nuclear explosion, otherwise wouldn't the city be uninhabitable five years in the future?

 

[Memnoch]

Indeed. Nuclear explosions usually take something like 50-100 years to dissapate.

well a nuclear bomb and someone exploding might not have the same amount of fallout. Maybe when peter blew up, it just just the heat wave and not the fallout.

For those of us who didn't get a headache from the time travel problems we'll now be discussing nuclear physics.

Well, cold fusion is a little side-hobby of mine. But to be honest, if it were entirely possible for a person to self-combust and create heat like the way he does it on the show, I don't think it is outside of the realm of impossibility that he could create such a blast without fallout.

Sylar doesnt have her powers. He was still trying to get them in the future.

see that's what i don't understand. Future Hiro specifically said that he had stabbed Sylar and he regenerated because in his (future) timeline/reality they had not saved Clair and Sylar had her healing ability. also Clair's dad thought she was dead (not just in hiding) and was very surprised when Hiro and Ando went to see him. they basically had to convince him she was now (in the future reality) alive again so he would go see her.

how the hell he found her i can't even guess at. maybe they have something like the Xmen's Cerebro.

 

[carbo-fation]

Future Bennet was well aware of Claire's presence. He just kept her existence a secret from everyone else.

See I took this a lil different. I took it as Future Hiro tried to kill Sylar but he regenerated, then he learned of a girl who had been able to do this. So then Future Hiro figured out when this happened and went back to tell Hiro to make sure Sylar didn't kill her. This would allow future Hiro to kill Sylar but when the bomb went off he assumed that Hiro had failed, now that Future Hiro knows that Peter was able to save her Future Hiro wants Hiro to go back and make sure Sylar is killed.


The whole Clair and Bennet part I am not sure about. I used all of my brain storage for the other portion of the show

 

[Agent0028]

Since Hiro went to the future before he killed Sylar nothing changed (yet). The future will change after Hiro kills Sylar (which to do that required saving Claire so he couldn't regenerate). So if for some reason Hiro dies or is unable to kill Sylar then the future remains just like we saw it. I think...

As far as Claire and Bennet I don't think they were convincing him she was alive, I think they were convincing him to admit it to them and tell them where she is. Remember when he went to the diner Claire fiance said, "Creepy glasses guy is back again and sitting in your section" and Bennett told her that she had to move again and when she protested he said, "I brought you back to Midland, didn't I?" And she said, "Yeah, but only after mom died."

Tonight's episode had a hard time living up to last week's, but was still pretty good. I really liked the scenes between Sylar and Hiro. Very intense!

And who knew Sylar had a conscience? Nice touch having his mother give him the idea to become President. Was that a mushroom cloud he painted with her blood?

And I take it that Molly is the "device" that Bennett is after.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I thought the whole overbearing mother bit was really cliched and corny. Not to mention the old "two people wrestling for a weapon, which one's going to get shot/stabbed?" gag. Boy, that one had me on the edge of my seat.

 

[Agent0028]

And once again we have a villain who is really not bad, he just had an overbearing mother who always wanted him to be special and never accepted him for what he is and that's why he does bad things. Damnation what happened to people being bad because its fun to be bad? Psychology may be my field of expertise, but for Pete's sake when it started creeping in to villainy it went too far.

BTW what happened with time coming unfrozen?

Yeah, it's not like Sylar was going to bite it by being stabbed by his mother!

How was he able to move when Hiro froze time?

 

[Darth Caedus]

How was he able to move when Hiro froze time?

Im guessing either Hiro lost his concentration because he was going to kill someone, or Sylar has a power that somehow interferes with Hiros power. Those are the only explanations.

I just read that next season will be 30 episodes. There will be the regular 24 episodes, then during the hiatus there will be 6 episodes called "Heroes: Origins" that allows viewers to vote for a new character to add to the show.

That sounds interesting. Not sure if I like this viewer participation stuff though.

 

[Agent0028]

Sounds cool. Is it fall yet?
