I got the impression that it was a future where Peter saved Claire, since the one where he didn't was the one that Hiro prevented from happening.
By a power Bennett could have been reverted to a kid!
Never said it was. Was just saying that the show was NEVER that great to begin with. Some shining moments, yes. Overall, not so much.
I'd say most people watch the show and don't miss an episode. That was my point.
That's fair. I was referring to last season that was panned universally (not that I agree) and the reaction of the production team basically starting over.
Biggest hole? It's a different 'future' not universe. The past is unchanged. I'm not sure how that works with FP's scar. They will have to address that eventually, but even 'if' it was a different universe, Pete doesn't have to have saved Claire to gain her power, only have met her and we saw them together in the season opener.I have a theory (which also led me to one about Future Sylar/Gabriel). Here it is: That version of Peter did not have fast healing because he never saved Claire in that universe. That would explain his easy death, and also his having the facial scar.

Now, how the above relates to Claire being a bad-a** chick who hates Peter as much as Sylar is not clear to me, but I bet it is because *Sylar* has Future Claire's power-- SINCE PETER NEVER SAVED HER IN THAT UNIVERSE! That would conveniently allow Future Sylar/Gabriel to survive blowing up, even though Future Peter can die from simple gunfire.
Neat, huh? Well, it is a theory, anyway. Poke holes in it, people!
Unlikely, but freaking hilarious!So, how about a wild thought...Sylar's Noah was HRG Noah in the future!
As another said - noticed, didn't care. Time-travel is a struggle to enjoy at the best of times, and I don't particularly care about a doomed future.
Too bad they're doing exactly not that. It's just S2, continued.John Crichton said:
This "emulating the genre" rationalization has been tossed out plenty of times. Of course, when someone makes reference to some element of the show being too boring and mundane (say, Parkman), then we get some screed about how the characters of heroes aren't comic-book characters, but rather ordinary people. So, they get an easy out either way.
Don't understand your point here. He gets his powers by proximity. He's been close to Claire plenty of times.
As has been discussed before, we can't read a lot into this because Sylar has almost always relied on telekinesis to the exclusion of all else. He's never used any of the other offensive powers, like the freezing and melting powers he supposedly acquired from previous victims.
I was explaining how I viewed show. I feel it more-or-less successfully disarmsmy criticisms by being sufficiently comic book-like.
I'm a firm believer in the idea of 'appropriate criticism'. I don't read an X-Men comic the same way I read Jane Austen. Different specific criteria exist for different kinds of literature (though you're absolutely right to say certain universal exist -- mostly).
