Heroes Season 1(#15)---2/12/07-'RUN!'

[Brown Jenkin]

I think we've seen the end of Sylar's little bag of tricks for now.

I agree that we have probably seen the end of new things. He might have a few other powers though that just aren't usefull, maybe something like turning things green or understanding what squirels are saying.

Memory/Learning (Charlie)

Charlie's power is probably the least "super" in that it's something that supposedly is real: eidetic memory.

 

[LightPhoenix]

I actually think her power is more than simply eidetic memory, she simply didn't have control over it at the time. Why?

Almost every character we've met that is on The List has little to no control over their abilities, Sylar's ability allows him to understand to control them - hence he shows much more control over Zane's ability than Zane did. TK Guy could barely throw a glass, but Sylar immediately shows finer control when he goes back to see Chandra.

Also, in the comic this week it's implied, though not stated, that Sylar manages to memorize a truck manual and actually be able to drive the truck in a short amount of time. It could be all memory, but I don't think it is. I think it's actually a boosted ability to absorb information - speed reading, observation, and so forth.

Finally, why does Linderman want Nathan dead? Isn't Nathan in Linderman's back pocket already? What did I miss?

Remember that it was Nikki that put Nathan in Linderman's pocket in the first place... And it wasn't by killing him. She's not just an assassin.

[Kaodi]

That is exactly what I was thinking when I said that, F5.

Of course, it's hard to be positive. I vaguely remember that one of Peter's dreams involved the old man he was taking care of. It could be the that old man reminded him of his own father, and so had something to do with the activation. Maybe it's a fringe possibility, but I think it at least has a fair chance to be true.

In addition, it's implied in the show that Charlie learned Japanese that wasn't in the book, like she could learn all of Japanese by reading some Japanese (the "Cute" scene).

 

[DonTadow]

Perhaps Linderman feels he can no longer control Nathan. Either that or the other candidate is more suited.

Perhaps, but without letting the audience in on it, even a little bit, it feels arbitrary.

I do - which has confused me further. She got the package in exactly the same way as the other "hit" package, and went through the same steps she did earlier.

I sure hope I'm jumping to conclusions, but it just seemed weird, given everything they just showed us in that episode.

 

[Fast Learner]

I don't see any reason to believe that she's being ordered to kill Nathan, that makes no sense at all. It's surely something like putting pressure on him or whatever. I don't even get why people are jumping to that conclusion.
