I'm pretty sure he has shown that he has Parkman's mind reading power and didn't he also pick up the super hearing power that Sylar has? I seem to recall him having the same trouble controlling it that Sylar did last season... a what about Nikki's strength?

Truth be told, the way his power works he could possess DOZENS of additional powers he doesn't even realize are available to him and thus never utilized/employed.

Actually, I think you're right about both Parkman and the hearing. I'm not sure that means he has Sylar's core power, though. That gets down to whether Sylar has a power at all or if what he has is outside the realm of being a power, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure he has Nikki's strength from the final fight of last season.

DVD Josh

could be both.

I thought DL death was long overdue.. seem like they want Ali Larter character to become a village bicycle.... with DL, Nathan and Peter (so far)...... it'll be easier to get her to romantically involve with some other characters in the show

Also, I guess.. the writers miscalculated the reaction from the fan from last season.. they probably try to satisfy the female demographic with Claire storyline and Peter's constant shirtless scenes...., and I guess that most internet forum participants are guys and the sentimens are that guys don't like that romantic crap in their super hero show..... so I hope they realize this and get it fixing next Volume (whenver that maybe) more Chirtine Bell, Ali Later.. and that stubby cheerleader.. = more viewership!

You're right, I forgot the Haitian has more than just the power to induce amnesia. (there is so much to keep track of on this show!)

As for Peter's other powers, IIRC he absorbs powers of anyone he meets and therefore has all of Sylar's powers (notably telekinesis), but he must also learn how to develop them once he realizes that he has them. So yes, we can assume that he now has the Haitian's powers in his repertoire.

Can he even get the Haitian's powers? If the Haitian is always suppressing powers, then how would Peter obtain them?

Doc MacGyver

Kristen Bell. Show that goddess some respect.


Excellent point. If Peter's absorbomatic was shut down whenever the Haitian is around, how could it have mapped and thus mimic his power?

DVD Josh

That's a good point, I suppose he would have to allow Peter to get them.

Deadpool

Great episode

zuffy

Peter definitely got Parkman and Sylar's stolen powers. Remember Sylar stole the super hearing and last year we saw Peter using it. Also, the telekenisis (sp?) power from Sylar.

orderandlaw

I'm still not impress w/ Maya and what's his name.

Suck about DL.

Damfino

This is a real chicken/egg situation. I guess it depends on what happens first, The Hatian suppressing the power or Peter absorbing the power.

Chucky

The whole DL & Nikki flashback was so pointless.... They should have just let DL die at Kirby Plaza and left Nikki with one personality. Seriously, wasn't fans' #1 complaint about her that the whole Nikki/Jessica thing was tedious? Now we have Nikki/some High School ho?
I would have preferred to learn why it was necessary to ship Sylar to Mexico or wherever he was... or heck even how Matt & Mohinder became Molly's Two Dads.

Before the whole revelation that Nikki had a new strain of the virus, I had assumed that Maya's power was involved in the virus mutating and killing 93% of the population, and that was why we were being subjected to her & Alejandro all the time. They need to get them to New York and do whatever it is they're going to do with them. Last season people made it across the country between episodes, why is their drive taking all season?

JasonF

We saw DL's tombstone in the first episode. Until last night, we had no reason to believe he had survived his encounter with Linderman.

Jimmy James

The Haitian is clearly not always on (we learned that with Nathan), so I guess it would come down to whose power has greater range between Peter and the Haitian and whose power reacts more quickly. Perhaps Peter could learn the power by seeing the Haitian use it from just outside the range of the blocking radius or by learning it really quickly prior to his power being stopped by the Haitian's.

SiberianLlama

This is just fanboy speculation... but could you imagine how unstoppable and powerful Peter would be if he could absorb Micah's cousin's powers? Add the ability to do anything just by watching someone else do it and Peter becomes almost godlike...

CaptainMarvel

Until that happens, we'll just have to settle for the non-godlike, psychic, flying, invulnerable, lightning-shooting, potentially immortal, teleporting, time-travlling, super-strong, phasing version instead.

shadowhawk2020

Plus heal people with his blood, and probably turning stuff into gold.

Big Boy Laroux

as others have said, he also has Parkman's and the powers Sylar has (specifically hearing and Telekenesis), and also Isaac's.


as for this episode. i wish it had just been 30 minutes of the Peter/Nathan/Adam storyline. that was kind of cool, and yes, kristen bell was looking hot - especially her mini lightning orgasm.

The DL/Nikki/Micah story was the most pointless thing this show has EVER done. oh, DL didn't die from the Kirby Plaza shooting? Then he lives a few more weeks, then gets shot again? POINTLESS.

Then we get to see Maya/Alejandro again. What?! she bleeds from her eyes and people die? you don't say! never seen that before!

devilshalo

I now see why Stallone picked Milo (Peter). His Rocky mouth is bugging the crap out of me.

Draven

Everyone has already covered the basics, and I agree this was a great episode. But I haven't really had any issues with this season either, as last season took an equally long time to get interesting to me.

That said, I was yelling at the TV while Peter was running from the Haitian "Fly you idiot!" I don't think he was close enough to supress his power yet. *sigh* That's the problem they've written themselves with Peter - they have to keep taking his powers away because otherwise he would be completely unstoppable. At least Sylar has to actually do something to gain a power. Peter might be picking them up from random "heroes" on the street for all we know.

Don't get me wrong, he and Claire are my favorite characters by far. I want him to be a complete badass. But it's a fine line.

Sir_Fireboard

Peter met Eden when he went to Mohinder's apartment in episode 1x4. He even shook her hand.

As for this episode, I loved it. The sequence with Peter and Nathan flying was awesome, I've rewatched it a few times already.

I'm not sure what Adam's up to, but I'm sure it's no good. Can't wait to find out his plan.

Baron Of Hell

Peter gets powers by being near other people not by watching other people use thier power. Remember he got Ted's power but never seen Ted do anything.
