Not how I saw that. Peter's telekinetic blow to Slyar threw off Sylar's concentration - which allowed Peter to be freed from the wall and let Mohinder drop from being pinned to the ceiliing.

Afterward when Sylar saw the computer smashed, I wondered if that hadn't ALL be shoved at him to knock him out. Did Mohinder think that smashing his PC would erase "the list". Cause Micha can fix that.

Just a clarification on powers. Claire can't HEAL anyone but herself. Peter's power allows him to absorb other people's powers and imitate them. If he's dead, he can't enact or co-op another power. We know from previous episodes (where the football player "killed" Claire), that a object to the brain disables the person with the power until it is removed.

So why was Peter's back to Sylar while he was invisible to get hit with the glass? Doesn't seem like the smartest way to be fighting an opponent.

Kinda glad Issac is gone. Did anyone notice that Sylar's portraits were of a much different quality than Issac's? I wonder if Issac's natural ability as a talented artist/painter simply allowed him to render the future through his subconscious. It'd be interesting to see that Sylar tries to channel the future using the ability but doesn't have the technical painting expertise to show anything in as much detail. Wouldn't THAT be a kick in the pants?!

So, you may be right. Just a modification on how it will happen.
This is unrelated to this specific episode, but I'm really hoping they stick the comics in some form on the DVD. I've forgotten to read them quite a few times and they really do provide a decent chunk of new info.

I paused the show when they showed the newspaper clipping after the bomb went off:

Most of it was blurry - but it said something about April 7th there was a kidnapping and randsom and there was a drop point at a park. Then something about April 12th and a name that looked like Is????? Mohinder (name)

Fuckin' A I love the comics!

It does allude to the fact that Future Hiro has made many trips altering the timelines until his most recent attempt at recruiting Peter to "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World". But I'm not sure that I understand his fortress of solitude being in a possible future (then again, maybe it is the ONLY future and nothing he does matters). I guess his plan is to teleport back to his "present" and simply see that everything has been set right ala Jennifer on the porch swing in the unaltered 1985 Hill Valley.

Maybe they thought Kidnapped would still be on the air.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it was new to me so:

When you read the interactive comics on NBC.com, if you click on the page after you've activated the control, a behind the scenes screen shot or promo shot usually appears. If you do it on one of Hana G.'s comics (not sure which it is) it opens a page with a list of e-mails and voice-mails sent and recieved by Hana. Also there are some links to different things with instructions on what to do when you click them. Interesting fanboy stuff.

When Peter got to Mohinder's apartment I got a Return of the Jedi vibe, partially because he was wearing black and the cut on his face. Of course, instead of wiping the Hutts off of Tatooine he got a piece of glass stuck in his head.

I took the timelines to mean Hiro has been trying for a long time to change the future and each timeline represented the string of events that occurred after each unsuccessful try. Future Hiro is still trying to get it right and the disappointed look on his face when he saw the past version of himself was disgust at his inept-ness. As if mistakes that present-day Hiro has made are harder to make right and it's caused Future Hiro alot more work.

Obviously just guessing.

So we have revealed that two "olds," Linderman and Mrs. Petrelli have powers, too.

Let's review some stuff:

1. Linderman has always had an interest in Nathan Petrelli's political career, especially now.
2. Mr. Petrelli, it was said, committed suicide at the beginning of the show. What caused that? Maybe Nathan (and Peter?) is the love child of Linderman and momma Petrelli? That's why the kids have powers, the parents do.

Micah has powers and both his parents do, too.

If you read the comics (specifically parts 24-29), you'll find that -
Spoiler:
Mr. Petrelli had no powers but he and Linderman worked together after a stint in Vietnam.


I wouldn't put too much emphasis on requiring both parents to be superpowered because, as far as I recall, Hiro and Issac and Sylar and Charlie had no special parent, let alone 2.

She says she does. When she was talking to Claire about going to Paris to work out what she wanted to do with her life. No indication what those powers may be.

If only Peter was using his freakin' THOUGHT READING POWER, he would have known what Sylar was up to. Hell, Sylar shouldn't have even been able to get the drop on him in the first place.

At least Sylar did us all a favor by cutting off that annoying, face-hanging lock of hair.

While I agree that both parents having powers is not a requirement (after all we are told these are how certain genetic combinations are manifesting themselves over time - as an evolutionary progression), I was pretty sure that Hiro had at least one parent with a power... remember when Claire was given to Bennett as a baby?

I remember Sulu being there, but I don't remember specifically if he had a power. I thought he was just involved in the Primatech company with Thompson.

But we now know that Primatech was being run by Linderman - who essentially is tagging the "heroes" so he can orgainize them? Or whatever. Hiro's father was adamant about him giving up on this "powers" thing - either because he himself had or Hiro's mother died because of hers. Either way, he's intimately involved with the whole scenario.

His whole explanation last night smacked of "Guilianni for President" which is essential what is happening after 9/11.

The movie version was already having a hard enough time getting off the ground. Now a major plot point is being used in a similar fashion in a show watched by millions
Just imagine if it's every made now; everyone will say it ripped off Heroes.

I hadn't read any of the novel things at NBC.com, but just read all 30.....if you haven't read them, do so ASAP! Very interesting on their own, and they help fill in some holes. http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/

Maybe Mama Petrelli's power is why Peter started having those prophetic dreams?

I think Mohinder's superpower is the ability to fail at everything he does. He could have killed Sylar while he was knocked out--instead, he took that time to destroy his computer.

He has 2 powers then, because his power of exposition and unnecessary narration is strong.

Good possibility you're correct... when Peter absorbed and manifested Isaac's powers, the drawings were basically stick figures, weren't they?

Anyone think Linderman recruited Micah to fix the broken computer with "The List" ?
