Well... Peter can absorb Sylar's powers, so it figures we're gonna have one helluva fight on the 23rd.
People I talk to all seem to think that Heroes is a one season deal. I can't understand how that would be... but then again, look at what happened to Lost - after Season 1 the novelty went away and they never did recapture that interest.
I think we'll eventually learn the story behind "the symbol". Perhaps it's a mark on the "heroes" who work for the same company as Mr. Bennett.
I have to say, this show has the best closing scenes. I mean, the drops of blood and then a lock of Peter's infamous bangs??? I can almost hear Milos Ventamiglia screaming "Yes...now I can get a haircut!!!!"
And I don't think Mohinder will die. He's too important to Syler. Yes, Syler has the current list, but according to Mohinder there are more people to be found, and Syler can't do that himself.
And I wish they'd have picked a different actress to be the shape shifter. She looks WAY too much like the girl who can send emails with her mind. I originally thought that the whole "revenge on Mr. Bennett" thing was a set up. And what did happen to her? We saw her in the desert, then we saw her when she first met Parkman, and then she disappeared.
So...do we think that Peter and Nathan's mom has a power too? And I can't wait to see if Parkman's baby has a power.
Oh no I really hope that's not the case! I still think they have a ton of loose ends to tie up...I can't imagine them cancelling this after only one season.
p.s. very true...the peter vs. sylar episode will HAVE to be spectacular or I will NOT be a happy viewer!!!
What I had heard was that Season two will be a completely new storyline---that the writers are looking at each season as a "comic book" and want to make the seasons more like "24" than "Lost". Some of the current Heroes will come back, but we will be introduced to many new ones.
hmmm I'm not sure how I feel about this...but as long as the plot stays interesting I'll be satisfied!!!!!
Oh my God, everything bad that could happened, happened this week.
I doubt Peter will die, after all, he can make himself invisible AND kill himself. His power might even be too complex for Sylar to be able to get it let alone control it.
I really REALLY hope Mohinder doesn't die, he's one of my favorite characters.
I was pretty upset that Mr.Bennett was set up, after the last episode I started to really like him as well as his wife. I guess their storyline is not as relevant now that Claire is gone. My only concern with the show is that in focusing too much on the whole Linderman OWI issue, they're moving away from the more personal issues the heroes had to deal with-Claire's feelings that she's a freak, Nathan and Peter's complex relationship, Nikki trying to protect her son, Matt hearing his wife's thoughts and how it affects their marriage and his work, etc. This happened with LOST as well, they focused too much on the infamous mystery and forgot about the personal issues that drew us to the characters.
Tonight's episode ROCKED! Intense, awesome, really excellent. So many things swirling through my head. WOW.
At first, last night's episode was really weird and I did not like it at all...but then it got good.
How about that acting for Hiro?
I absolutely LOVED last nights episode.
I watched the two new ones yesterday and can honestly say, I think the show has gone from merely Very Good to Great.
And those who know me know that it is distinction I don't take lightly.
Some of the scenarios are mindblowing, especially the last thing with Claire and the final confrontation....I had to rewind it a bunch of times just to take it all in!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love this show.
I loved the episode, especially because I am intrigued to see how they will handle the time travel issues created.
*spoilers*
In last night's "present" Hiro doesn't know Claire had been saved, but in the timeline we are following, he does. So in the alternate reality, Peter didn't save Claire, because if he had, he would not have the scars on his face, right? But someone would've saved Claire nevertheless.
I have NO idea. What i want to knwo the most is how Matt Paarkman became such a bad guy!

Why didn't Future Hiro just go back and kill Sylar himself?
Loved the episode. Love the show!
i'm so CONFUSSED!
*sobs*
and i dont like future hiro. he's not as cute as past hiro. he looks mean and scary.
i think i may be watching too much of "the 4400" beacuse when they showed molly all i could think was "maya"
I just watched the entire season so far over the past two days. SO good.
Time travel issues are always iffy. Technically, one would expect future Hiro to remember that he came forward and talked to himself, and that Peter had saved Claire, assuming that he goes back to the past. Not quite sure how the memory thing would work, because you never know what's "current" and going into the past or future can change it. Not to mention that the idea of a future Hiro makes it possible for him to run into himself at any time he jumps except for the exact same spot he left. I'm sure it's best not to overanalyze those details.
In last night's "present" Hiro doesn't know Claire had been saved, but in the timeline we are following, he does. So in the alternate reality, Peter didn't save Claire, because if he had, he would not have the scars on his face, right? But someone would've saved Claire nevertheless.
I think it's mainly that Hiro didn't know that Peter had saved Claire in the alternate reality even though he had (because she was alive and I can't really fathom anyone else having saved her from Sylar). Future Hiro didn't realize that because they hadn't yet gotten to the one link in the chain that he thinks could stop the bomb (killing Sylar). I wondered about the scar as well, but I was thinking that it might be something that's explained in future episodes...something so powerful that not even regeneration could fix it, I guess.
But is killing Sylar even going to change anything if Peter is the one who causes the explosion, and he has Claire's invincibility? And it seems that neither Sylar nor Peter have yet picked up radioactivity from that one guy. So much left to happen! My head is spinning.
Also, (longest message ever), a point of clarification. It has been pretty much established that the only way that Sylar can feed on the powers of the others is to kill them and essentially figure out how their brains work, right? Whereas Peter only has to be in close proximity to pick one up. So it seems that the radiation guy is either going to die or Peter will meet him (betting on the former).

I'm pretty sure Peter is going to meet him since he is the one that explodes, not Sylar.
I also wonder if killing Sylar is going to help at all if Peter is the one responsible for the explosion. I really want Sylar to disappear, he is quite the annoying character.
What I wonder is how is he able to kill Claire if she has the ability of cell regeneration? I guess once she has no brain, she can't regenerate herself.
Oh, also, is it clear now that Jessica is just a persona put on by Nikki to deliver her power and after a while she can just be herself without using Jessica? That has always confused me about the show.
Loved the episode, it was brilliant, action-packed, and very well-written.
Future Hiro thinks that killing Sylar will stop the explosion, as the cover-up explanation for the explosion is that Sylar did it. I don't think killing Sylar actually WILL stop the explosion.
I'm pretty sure Peter is going to meet him since he is the one that explodes, not Sylar.
I thought about that, too, but Peter could also pick it up from Sylar. Wasn't there something about it being too much power? Sylar seems to generally have a better understanding/control of his abilities. It seems like it could go either way.
Last night's episode was a bit of a snooze-fest, save for the Hiro-Sylar encounter. Other opinions?
Just watched it online...nothing happened. They started about 5 storylines and none of them played out. And then just when something started to happen (Peter absorbing the powers at the end) the episode ended.
So, am I wrong in thinking that what the writers are doing is creating a parallel to the Bush administration, which some people believe orchestrated the events of 9/11 in order to creat a new and permanent Republican order in the United States?
I thought even though not thrilling, last night's episode was necessary to lay out the groundwork of what's to come.
I agree, DD. It wasn't fast-paced, but there was a lot put into character motivations and laying everything out for the final episodes. It's interesting that Suresh is helping the company cure Molly to help stop Sylar, but she's undoubtedly the "system" that Bennett mentioned that they have for locating people -- and if you believe what they're telling Nathan, they want the bomb to go off and Nathan to take the White House. So one or the other of them is apparently being played. I also have absolutely no idea what Linderman wants to happen or why he needs Mikah (but whatever happens, I hope they off Candice sooner than later -- what a crappy plot point of a character).
I am interested to see what the web is all about - the connection between the company, Linderman, and whoever Mrs. Petrelli and the Haitian are aligned with.
