Apparently his goals eventually change because future Sylar, who presumably started off the same way, got to the point where he just wanted to eliminate the competition.

Just rewatched episode 2 last night, when Hiro goes to the future for the first time to the day of the explosion. Seemed to me that Isaac's loft was much, much different than it ends up being by the time those events actually take place. This could mean one of two things. 1, they just screwed up on continuity. 2, they've actually changed the future a bit.

There were different paintings around the room. He was also still working on a new comic in episode 2 (the panels were on an easel), whereas when the events occur later in the season he had already handed off his final installment to a courier (along with his sketch book) just before he died.

Also, based on the previews for next week, I'd think that Peter does not explode. He didn't seem very blowuppy in the preview.

My theory for easily dispatching Sylar was blown to bits last episode too. Stop time, insert sword, start time, watch him die... how did he break through Hiro's time stop to shatter the sword? Or did Hiro just lose control and let time slip enough for Sylar to break his concentration completely?

As for Sylar himself, he sees this whole thing as his destiny now. He went to his mother for support and help in stopping himself from what he was doing, and for forgiveness from the one person he hoped would give it. I think the way things turned out convinced him that it is indeed his destiny to be what he is, and to do what has been foretold. Whether he started out with "good" intentions or not (and, he did from a certain perspective), he's on the "wrong" path now for good.

On another note, I don't think they can kill off Sylar and let Peter live. The two balance each other. Both accumulate powers, an extremely powerful thing. Unbelievably powerful if you think about it. If Sylar is gone, there's nothing to offset Peter, and vice versa. For balance alone they'd have to kill off both. And I don't really want to see them kill off Peter. Besides, I think Sylar is my new favorite villain.

Any one of the powers Peter has in the future would make him a bad ass. And he has pretty much every 'holy-fuckin-shit' power there is, all at his disposal as he sees fit...

Flight, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Precognition, Pyrokinesis, Rapid Cell Regeneration, Time Control, Teleportation, Invisibility, Nuclear / EMP Burst / Pulse / Explosion and, assumably, Super Strength and god knows what else... not to mention he still has Empathic Mimicry, the power that helps him accumulate new powers. In fact, one could easily say that he's much more powerful than Sylar, for he doesn't have to defeat anyone to gain new powers. He just has to get near them. He's basically already more powerful than all of the X-Men combined, lol.

Just wait til he gets hurt, he may not be able to control it at all.

I think Hiro didn't have the nerve to kill Sylar, so time returned to normal.

Eugh, this is sounding like The Matrix ending all over again...

I don't think they will go down that road. Atleast I hope not. I'm thinking that the nuke will still go off, the way they introduced the future timeline makes me think that we'll be seeing more of it. Maybe with a couple of key differences.

Still, looking forward to the final episodes and then the long torturous wait for Season two and all the speculation that will rock up during the intermission.

Out of curiosity, how many episodes are left. I haven't been watching it on NBC. I only just caught up to this week's episode yesterday.

LQDMTL · Post by **LQDMTL** » Thu May 10, 2007 4:00 pm

2 episodes left

A huge-ass light bulb just lit up in my head. Remember in Texas, Sprague went nuclear when he was shot and couldn't control it. Maybe Peter blows, BECAUSE Hiro stabs him!

Healer24 · Post by **Healer24** » Thu May 10, 2007 4:30 pm

Possibly, but my impression of that incident was that Sprague was beginning to go nuclear already, and the pain of the gunshot meant that he could no longer reign himself in.

Sidenote: My last name is Sprague, and I have a sister named Karen. I shall have to warn her against marrying anyone named Ted who can go nuclear.

Karen Sprague, haha! I will finds youz!

Don't forget to warn her not to get all feminist and make him take her last name. If she takes his she can still marry a Ted

True. I hadn't thought of that.

Heroes e23: How to Stop an Exploding Man.

If ALL the plot-lines aren't closed by the end of this, someone will have hell to pay! One more freaking "To be continued" cliffhanger and I swear to God, I'll...

[quote="Scowdich";p="737721"]Another question: If Peter gleaned telekinesis from Sylar, who took that power from somebody else, why doesn't he have the other powers Sylar had when they encountered each other in Texas, like cryokinesis? You'd think he'd have noticed by now.[/quote]

Except, perhaps/apparently when he's stressed and desperate, Peter needs to think about the person whose power he's using it.

Since he didn't know the iceman, the mechanic with the hearing, meltyman, or the others - he has the powers, he may even be cognizant of them - but he doesn't know how to use them..

Too bad he never met Linderman.

Also, SPOINERS:

Linderman, man. What a way to go.... oof. *shudders*

I was chuckling and even cheered a bit at Thompson's death, though...

End spoilers.

SPOILERS!

DL isn't dead yet, though y'all probably already figure that out - Sylar has to "acquire" his power first.

StruckingFuggle · Post by **StruckingFuggle** » Thu May 17, 2007 4:37 pm

Of course, we don't know when Sylar would have obtained his power, same as the illusionist, whose name I forget.

It coulda been well after The Bomb, in which case they'll both (likely) survive - or at least, survive Sylar.
