I was thinking the same thing, except thought that this is one of Sylar's powers and now Peter has it from him. I don't think he had it before meeting Sylar.

Eh, maybe. But then I have to give the writers a huge "boo". That would mean the only reason they cut to the Haitian guy hanging outside the interrogation room when Matt's powers weren't working was to throw us off.

And they made it pretty obvious that Matt could not read the Haitians mind in the bar. Does that mean the HRG guy was there too?

I don't buy it.

I agree. I think Peter's sickness was a result of being near Sylar.

I also agree with this.

"The Haitian" was first referred as that on the show a few episodes back, when the cop and Nuclear Man were comparing notes on their abductions.

I don't think the dream was literal, in a "it will happen exactly like this" type of way, but it may be true. However, the reactions from the other Heroes seems to be consistent to how they would react if it were him, and not Nuclear Man.

From what we know, Peter is really the only one who can go mano-a-mano with Sylar, if Peter is able to utilize all the powers Sylar has. My theory on the dream:

Sylar escapes and absorbs Nuclear Man. The Heroes chase him down to NYC and try and stop him. Peter succeeds in subduing Sylar, but in the course absorbs Nuke Man's power and can't control it and explodes.

Eden's line was something along the lines of "and if he could speak, he'd agree with me."

Mr. Bennett doesn't have the null power; the cop already read his mind once when they abducted him. When that happened, Mr. Bennett turned to The Haitian and asked him to turn up the juice. The cop said he couldn't read The Haitian's mind at all.

Sure when she cut her hand fighting with the other other cheerleader over the outfit.

That didn't heal right up, either. It bled and moms took her to the ER where they treated her, right? It was only later that she checked it and found it healed, right?

OK, so I know that this probably won't change anyone's minds, but this is what the episode summary at the Heroes site on NBC says about the Sylar/Eden incident:


So, the official Heroes site says that Sylar shot Eden, NOT that Eden killed herself. It's funny because when I watched it, I never thought for a second that Eden killed herself. It seemed very clear to me that it was all Sylar's doing and Eden was trying to resist. :shrug:

I rewatched it and Sylar definitely has a look of surprise on his face right before the gun goes off. She definitely pulled the trigger on herself. There is no doubt about it. Maybe they really want everyone to think it's the other way around.

If you go to NBC.com, you can view the clip. To me, it's very obvious that Eden shoots herself. Sylar doesn't look happy at all once he realizes what she is doing. If he was forcing her to do it, he would have been smiling or something. Besides, why would he shoot her in the head and blow her brains all over the glass when he could just kill her and neatly slice her head open to have access to her brain with no damage?

My guess about why he was able to get to mini-Bilson is that there is some sort of disruptor machine that they have running somewhere to keep him contained. She probably had to turn it off so that she could try to persuade him. She did this thinking that she would be able to control him, but obviously that didn't go so well for her...

--but shouldn't he have been okay after hanging out w/ Claire in the detention cell? He should have absorbed her power enough to cure him of his cough. Doesn't her power go beyond healing just broken bones and skin? On the other hand, maybe the Haitian guy was in close enough proximity to cancel out their powers.

The comic is canon, right? If so, there really shouldn't be any argument about what happened with mini-Bilson.

OK, so I rewatched the clip and now I do think that she killed herself. To be honest, I don't know how I ended up getting turned around. Maybe it has something to do with my state of mind when I was watching last night. :p

But I still find it odd that they would say differently on the episode summary of the official site ...

I'm wondering that myself.

If the comics are canon, then that means that -- (Spoilers for the comic, and possibly future episodes)

So they throw the most dangerous sociopath in the country. Who has attained god knows how many super powers into a room whereby the only means of controlling him are the Haitian. And then let the Haitian run all over town, Leaving Sylar alone uncontrolled to do whatever he pleases?! That doesn't make any sense. He can figure out how the human brain and DNA works but he wouldn't be able to over come a security pad? It had to have been something about the room itself that hinders powers.

Don't forget Edens voice Didn't didn't work on Sylar in the room. But her voice worked on him previously. My guess is Sylar figured a way around whatever the room was doing to him, but it still worked and it hindered Eden's powers. Sylar was just waiting for the right opportunity to make his move, he may have even been waiting to take out HRG. But Eden showed up instead.

Just out of curiosity, why is she called Mini Bilson? The two actresses are the same height and age.:)

Nope. Rachel is 5' 3.5" while mini-Bilson is a bit shorter at 5' 2.5".

I guess when you're that short, one inch makes all the difference in the world.

Enuf with the mini-bilson shit already. its annoying ...

Besides, isnt typing 'Eden' a lot faster!!?!??!

Nothing personal. :)

Agreed

I really don't understand half the "clever" references to characters on this thread.

Maybe, except .

By the way, do we need to spoilerize speculation like this?
