Heroes Season 1(#14)---2/05/07-'DISTRACTIONS'

Well, if the future is immutable, then

Spoiler

New York City is doomed, doooomed I tell you, doooooomed

!

If new york doesn't blow up, there is going to be serious time consequences.

 

[LightPhoenix]

To tell the truth, that's one of the big things I'm waiting to see how they do. As they've written Isaac and Hiro's powers so far, I'm not really sure how they can not blow up New York. It will have to be a pretty good explanation, and it'll be one of the most difficult things they'll face - if they screw it up, the fans will be outraged.

The timeline goes something like this:

Charlie is killed by Sylar.
Hiro goes back in time six months.
Charlie tells Hiro about the aneurysm.
Hiro teleports back to the future (in Japan).
Ando and Hiro meet back at the diner in Midland.

I just watched Six Months Ago, and Charlie is still killed by Sylar in the end.

Actually, that's not the timeline, at lest not in the usual sense of timelines.

The timeline doesn't cover Hiros visit in the future (in which Ando appears totally unaware of Hiros abilities or the reason why is away). It also lacks a third timeline (possibly unaltered by any of Hiros time traveling abilities) where Hiro doesn't visit Peter in the train and asks him to "save the Cheerleader".

Ooohhh... boxes.

Still, it appear that both the future and the past are immutable. What Isaac sees and paints will come to be regardless of what anyone does and what has happen is also fixed, regardless of Hiro's time travels.

Not so. The picture of Charlie without Hiro at her birthday party changes to Charlie with Hiro. So some change is possible.

Head 'splode!!!

This is why I'm interested to see how they handle the bomb.

Also, a big mystery still unresolved - how come no one recognized Hiro when he came back to the diner?

My guess is eventually Hiro and the Haitian meet up, and Hiro asks him to wipe them, to avoid Head 'Splodage.

 

[Truth Seeker]

No...all that happened, was he was placed in a moment into her life.

Her death, as it was the main mission of Hiro trying to prevent, could not be changed, dying by the brain tumor or by Sklar's hand.

Her timeline life was meant to end, in either case.

Now...with the explosion part, in the city, that will be the real brain twist, when it comes.
