And if he can use Micah to rig the election, why need the bombing at all, really? He can use Micah afterwards to rig poll results, make him seem incredibly popular, eventually getting Nathan into the top spot without a catastrophe.

Good call. That makes a lot of sense, since he has been transported to NY.

Remember that Linderman was never seen in the "future" episode. Linderman could have been killed and have a law passed in his name because he perished from an attack of a mutant. He obviously becomes an important figure in the public's eye, which would bring further outrage after the bomb.

While it's possible that they expect Sylar to stand in for Nathan, I'm not as certain whether that squares with the organization's goals... and as conniving as Mrs. Petrelli has been, there's no reason to think that she has anything other than her son in mind.

I'm with you. I think what's interesting about our "villians" is that they honestly believe they're doing good, in a twisted sort of way. I don't belive Sylar is part of their plans at all. I think they expect NYC to get blown up, Petrilli in the white house, and then those with powers will be welcomed as guardians of mankind or something. I mean, only those truly "in the know" will know it was a person who exploded in NYC, and not just a bomb.

Not sure why a mob boss's death would excite so much passion .

That's true, and I guess what I'm after is that Linderman wants it to be him, not normals, who are in control of the mutants. I think Sylar is as big a threat to that as the normals, though, and it's hard to tell how much of the future dystopia was Linderman's vision vs. how much was Sylar's corruption of it.

I saw the future as nearly nothing like Linderman's vision, I don't believe Sylar is in their plans at all. And I think it's why Hiro is trying so hard to stop Sylar, rather than Linderman.

Well, I'm positive Sylar corrupted a bunch of it, but obviously Sylar was in their plans. Sylar could have easily been killed by HRG, but the superiors said no. Now perhaps it was so Sylar could be "the bomb", but they had to realize that after killing Claire (in the original timeline), he'd come back.

I mean, the Haitian is around him all that time. If Sylar was really corrupting it too much, the Haitian would dampen his power (especially to shapeshift).

Why would Hiro try and stop Linderman? His future self told him to stop Sylar, who better to trust than yourself. To make it a Matrix like reference, I think Sylar = Agent Smith. Not in the grand scheme of anyones plans, just someone who can cause enough destruction and chaos to prevent everyones plans from working.

Unless, he is part of the plan as well? If Molly can stop him, or the Haitian can stop him, why aren't they doing so? Why does the company allow him to "linger on"?

Yeah, that whole you have to save Molly because she's the only one that can stop Sylar, and, oh, by the way, she has the same thing your dead sister had, was such a 'trap' to get Mohinder working for them.

I hate Mohinder. As he was on the phone with Sylar, and I saw him dialing his cell phone... I was thinking: "Why does he have the cell so close to the phone? Who would he be calling? It can't be the cops, what the hell are they going to do?"

He's like one of those Screech characters. So smart, yet so dumb.

The scenes with Sylar and his mom were creepy. Especially at the end where he's painting the floor with her blood.

Hiros power has to be explained further, basically his limits. What I mean by that is someone says "He can only go back to a specific point in time once" or something. Essentially couldn't Peter get Hiros powers and have a billion of him fighting Sylar all at once?

There'd be serious problems with focus in that case. As others have noted, these powers seem to require an activation of some kind and conscious manipulation of them to truly have control of them

With no indication that it was because they planned for him to escape. It looks more like they wanted to study him. An undercurrent of the Linderman group seems to be that they're trying to build a better mutant, as it were.

It's not clear what role (if any) Sylar has ever had in their plans. Until I see evidence going beyond it, I don't think they were after more than containment (as he was killing mutants) and study (to better understand his capabilities). I think they overestimated their abilities to keep him in check and were never intending for him to escape.

We never see Parkman or the Haitian in "Nathan"'s presence.

I'm forgetting, but I thought I saw Parkman and Nathan in Isaac's apartment at the same time in that future episode. I thought I remembered thinking why Parkman can't detect that it isn't really Nathan. I could be imagining things. Maybe that's what I thought was going to happen lol.

Parkman is with Sylar-Nathan in the future in Isaacs loft as they are looking at the Strings I thought.

Gotta be either a plot hole or some kind of expanded ability that Future Sylar has acquired along the way. (Possibly related to the expansion in how the perception-shifter works?)

Question, since Peter only has to be near a hero to absorb the power, would he be able to block the Haitian blocking his power, since to be in the range of the Haitian would mean he'd be in range to absorb the blocking power, which means he could block the block and use his powers.

Also, the way I saw the Sylar-Hiro fight, It showed Hiro getting ready to strike, closing his eyes as he did so, then they cut to a blood drop from the mom and her starting to fall. Then Sylar moves his eye and is able to stop Hiro. It was really just a lack of control over his power. Its actually nice, as throughout the episode he seemed to have a pretty good grasp on it, but when he needed it most he couldn't use it right.

I think what the Haitian does is cause brain damage. Brain Damage to the storage of memories to make you forget, and temporary brain damage to your brain to keep it from executing your powers. I think in the future he is doing this as a general dampening field damaging all the special brains around them.

So theoretically Peter could do that to the Haitian, although it seems like to do the dampening field he would have to be the one that does it first, otherwise the Haitian already has Peters powers turned off. Likewise to target the Haitian and turn his powers off, he would have to do it to the Haitian before the Haitian does it to him.

I think the last two episodes have shown what a wildcard Sylar is/can be. He isn't necessarily bad, in that he doesn't really have world-wide evil intentions, but he is defintely only out for himself (he seemed to have a little bit of a conscience about all the innocent lives that would be lost if he blew up). We have seen examples of his awkward social skills all season, but the whole exchange with his mother last night really brought his shortcomings home.

I kind of consider him to be like the Trashcan Man from The Stand. I still think we might see clear good and bad lines drawn, and Sylar may end up being somewhere in the middle, as a chaotic type of character.

Question:

Why did Peter accompany Claire to meet with Ted? He knows he absorbs people's powers, and he knows he has to absorb radioactive man's power in order to turn into the bomb. Why not tell Claire, look, I can use people's powers, so I need you to take care of this to save the world. There was no logical reason for him to be even remotely close to Claire given the situation with Ted... aside from the obvious sexual innuendo...

I don't think Peter and Claire were actually expecting to run into them right there. I know I wasn't.

I agree. I just think that, in the end, Sylar is not going to be the main villian on the show. I think it will be something more like Linderman's group or Eric Roberts' group rather than a single super villian. I can see Sylar's chaotic nature eventually (and probably inadvertantly) being damaging to both sides--hence the Trash Can Man reference.

Agree with this, though I think they are going to play the whole "I wasn't super evil, but then I killed my mother, so now I am" card. That seems to be where Sylar is headed, but I could be wrong.

It's a crisis of faith, but in reverse... Sylar's sense of his evil nature was jarred when he realized that he cared about all the innocent people he would kill if he blew up, but then he was able to re-affirm his sense of self by killing his mom.

Well he did die, it's just he was able to regenerate because he got that power from Claire.

Heroes gets a spinoff!

hxxp://www.variety.com/article/VR1117964868.html?categoryid=14&cs=1

Essentially, when Heroes goes into hiatus, it's going to be replaced by 6-8 episdoes of Heroes: Origins - from what it sounds like, each of the episodes will center around a new Hero and their story. Then, post-Origins, fan response will give one of those six-eight a chance to join the main storyline.

Great find and excellent news.

The article also notes that the Office will air 30(!!!) new episodes next season, with four of them to be an hour long.

I think it is much more than that. The way he talked, I thought there was an implication that he has been alive for a much longer time than one would expect by just looking at him.

Another excellent episode that makes me wonder how many characters will bite it next week.

Excellent episode. They did so much in this episode, my wife had to remind me how slow the first couple were. Looking forward to the last one.

Did anyone else think the eyes that were reflected in the sword didn't look like they belonged to Hiro's daddy?

If he taught Hiro how to use the sword that fast then I guess his super power must be excellent teaching skill!

Which (if it is so) makes Hiro's power to stop time very interesting .

I basically figured that Hiro had stopped or slowed time for the practice time.

I definitely felt/thought the same thing.
