as to how is Peter going to survive...it seems that Ted is immune to his own radioactive nature and can ignite without damaging himself, so I assume Peter would take on that characteristic as well.

This is my feeling, too.

And, dang, this show is good.

Future Peter is a badass!

However...anyone have a theory as to why Peter has the scar? He's got it in the latest novel which takes place 1 year after the explosion...

I think last night proved that Peter and Sylar are almost perfectly matched for each other and the only reason one would win over the other is because one has more powers than the other. It's obvious now that Peter can use multiple powers as the same time and use them every bit as well as Sylar. Since both had Claire's powers as the end that fight was more or less pointless as both are essentially immortal.

Also we now know that the Hatian has 2 powers, he can cancel anyone's powers and he can remove memories. He is the ultimate trump card over anyone with powers.

The one thing I don't understand is how Claire could die, it's been shown that she could regenerate Brain tissue almost instantly. Unless Sylar used telekenesis to keep her from moving and the separating her from her brain it wouldn't be possible to kill her.

This show is now like a cross between the Xmen and The Watchmen, which is definitely a good thing. I really don't know how they are going to top it next season.

You answered your own question. He removed her brain. She is not immortal. I'm sure if she was decapitated, she would die, as well because her brain would not be getting any oxygen. The same goes for Peter and the future Sylar (post Claire).

So with Hiro going back to the past, will we be seeing some of the cast that have already passed away? How far back into the past did Hiro go?

The entire, amazing episode from 4/30 was filler. They took a break from regularly scheduled programming to show us a "possible future". This episode could have been a great full length feature film based on the shows characters and story. The only way it advances the plot is by making it known that they have to kill Syler. That poor actor.... he wins the lottery by being cast on the show, and gets killed off at the end of Season 1. Bummer, dude. Based on his looks, his career probably just peaked.

In the next 3 episodes, the heroes will come together and figure out a way to prevent the bomb in NY, but they won't form an X-Men-like team. That would be too obvious and too "comic book" for the audience.

Then the writers will begin reading every Frank Miller and Alan Moore comic book available to come up with a story this good for next season.

This show will quickly spiral out of control if they start creating characters weve never seen or heard of to specifically serve as the deus ex machina to solve a specific problem the writers have created. This deal with the little girl in the preview is the beginning of that. Soon we wont be able to trust that anything theyve shown us is genuine because they can simply create a new character that happens to solve the problem. Hiro and Peter are already so powerful that they have these type effects (esp Hiro) but at least these are characters theyve developed from the beginning and have some depth.

New Army lives at Reed Arena

How can you say (esp Hiro) when Peter can have Hiro's powers plus all the other ones?

I am going to trust the writers for right now and assume the little girl has been part of the story all along.

Some general thoughts that I have:
-Peter regenerated the cut Sylar was making on him almost immediately...what prevented Claire from doing this? (i know there was already previous discussion about this, but lets think about it more)

-As someone brought up, what point in the present did Hiro and Ando return to?

-will a time stop work against Sylar? It seems like that would be the first thing future Peter would do in a battle with Sylar

-Do we know what would happen if Peter and the Haitian were in close proximity? Would it prevent Peter from absorbing powers? Would Peter immediately absorb the power null and both would be simultaneously "normal"?

They still aren't going to stop the "bomb". Hiro is under the assumption that Sylar is the bomb. They may kill Sylar, but that's not going to stop it. Sylar was never the bomb. It's always been Peter!

I was so hoping that when Hiro left the future, he was going back to prehistoric times. I so want to see him fighting a T-rex!!

I wonder if they would get "feedback" like Peter and Parkman.

i think you are probably right about the bomb, but the writers may be trying to cause us some uncertainty on who the bomb really is. Ted is still alive and Peter has not yet encountered him so Sylar still has a chance.

We still don't know much about Peter's abilities. When he was learning from the invisible guy he had to actually have a conscious thought about the person whose power he was using, right? When he was pushed off the building he said he thought about Claire and that's what made him able to use the power. I assume he refined this maybe to the point of being sub-concsious because Sylar stabbed him in the head and he still managed to heal after quasi-death. So, after he battled Sylar, does Peter now have all of Sylar's stolen abilities too?

Sounds like something from Highlander...There can only be one...but that is an interesting theory.

NO he healed sub-concsiously because claire was right there. If he is in the presence of the person he doesn't even have to think about it, it just happens just like how claire does it.

Remember waaay back in episode one where Sylar went back to get the little girl and Parkman ran him off? Maybe she's the surprise superhero.

I'm not saying you're wrong, BUT I could just as easily say it is coincidence because she happened to remove the glass shard. Remember when Claire herself was autopsied the doc removed the large stick from her head and then she healed. Until that point, she was dead.

Yes, but isn't there a theory about Peter becoming the bomb in order to kill Sylar? However, that was before we knew that Hiro is actually the one who is supposed to kill Sylar. My question is how come Peter hasn't been able to stop time in order to kill Sylar already? Yeah yeah, I know that would ruin the climactic ending.

In the preview for next week it appears that Hiro did stop time on Sylar, but then we saw Sylar's eye move to look in Hiro's direction. Could he have been toying with Hiro like he did with Mohinder at the apartment?

i thought peter already absorbed teds powers, and that same day he was going though all the powers he had stored and started to glow when invisible guy knocked him out.

Are we sure that is cuurent day Sylar or early Sylar? We still do not know at what time Hiro arrived back in New York. After all, Sylar is visiting his mother in that episode and it just doesn't seem like something current day Sylar would care to do.

Anyone else think that Ando holds some type of clue in the page that future Hiro gave him as he was dying?

Ummm, duh. :P

My 17 year old son and I watch this show everytime it is on. We enjoy trying to figure out what's up and what will be up?

This is one of the most creative major network shows since Twin Peeks.

Same little girl who's parents were killed by Sylar and Matt found her, right? I think you're onto something there... Sylar obviously wants her out of the picture... wonder what her power is...

Peter has crossed paths with the Haitian. Couldn't he use those powers to block sylar's powers and kill him? And another thing, the Haitian was on the roof with Bennet when they tasered Clive(?) and Peter. Why didn't he block their powers to be invisible or fly away? Was Peter subconsiously using the powers then?

i was just about to point out the same thing about the little girl. I decided to go back and watch an early episode.

question 1 - it appears the Haitians power can be directed on who to use it on (when they had Hiro in custody Parkman could still read thoughts). So maybe Peter can only absorb it if he uses it, and he never used it around Peter.

question 2 - I assumed that they were at a distance too great for the Haitian to affect them.

question 3 - stop blowing holes in the show!

the Haitians powers are limited. Case in point when HRG captured Nathan and he escaped. When Nathan got to the fence the Haitian was right next to Nathan when he flew away. He might have powers to block any type of Telekinetic, Mind reading or anything of that such.

New novel up.

Maybe when the Haitian crossed paths with Peter he blocked Peter's power of absorbing powers therefore not allowing Peter to gain his power.

Ok I haven't seen the preview, I don't watch them.

But the little girl ya'll are talking about could be the little girl that was killed by Sylar and pinned up against the staircase.

But also what about Suresh's sister? We all know that he had a sister who supposedly died, but we know next to nothing about her. Did it show what the girl looked like or just say something about a girl?

It would tie up the loose end for Suresh. But using the girl from the beginning would have more storyline oppurtunities.

They showed the girl in the preview. Its the same girl as the one parkman found under the stairs(?).

After rewatching the episode and seeing Isaac's last comic book again I'm starting to like my theory I posted at the bottom of page 31 in this forum.

Linderman and/or Sylar must survive. This show needs "bad" guys. My hope is that the bomb issue is resolved this season or the beginning of next and an new crisis is born.
