Hmm. Perhaps, but I don't know that the two are the same thing, necessarily. Depends on how his power works. Obviously he can bring things through time with him, like his clothes and sword and such, things he's touching. And he can seem to unfreeze things he touches. As such, bringing Ando through time while touching him is a logical extension. Doing at a distance -- quite a distance, as Hiro obviously starts his encounter with Peter off the train entirely -- isn't necessarily part of it.

That is a good point. It could really go either way.

Such was discussed way back then. I reasoned that Hiro could talk to Peter while time was otherwise frozen because Peter instantly took on Hiro's power. Otherwise Peter would have been frozen, just like everything else.

Future Hiro merely has a far greater degree of control. He showed selective use of his powers when saving the little girl from getting hit by the bus. The bullet also backtracked through time to before it fired while the amazon thief stared in wonder. To my thinking, this is just further demonstrated by him speaking to Peter in the subway car while all others stood inside the moment.
Also, I wasn't posting about the show, and so missed the discussion "way back then", but in that episode, it seemed like he was teeking, rather than timing, but I could see it the other way now that it's been pointed out.

Sylar was not as sadistic with Isaac as I thought he would be. He was almost out of character...

 

[Alzrius]

I disagree. Sylar doesn't usually seem compelled to torture people when he's just after their powers. He usually just deceives them until he learns their powers, and then attacks to kill. It's fairly impersonal; his joy comes from getting one step further along on his "evolutionary imperative" more than any love of killing.

As for Sylar, the description for episode #21 says : Tiny spoiler here:

Spoiler

Sylar goes home to talk to Mom.

Speculation follows:

Spoiler

How's that for personalizing a villain. We see him go home for milk and cookies with mommy.

Problem: If Sylar has a gift - does his mother have one too? And will Sylar kill her for it?

"No, I'm not done with you yet"

Well - Isaac wasn't personal. He got sadistic as Isaac knows something that Sylar wanted to know and he was trying to get the information out of him. But Sylar was provoked and offended by Isaac as well. Because Isaac was a sheep for the slaughter and knew it - and didn't care. Sylar has also come to enjoy the power-trip in killing and the fear in his victim. Isaac's perfect understanding of what was to happen to him and his resignation to his fate unnerved Sylar.

And when he understood that Isaac didn't need his revenge - that from Isaac's perspective - he had already taken his revenge, that made Sylar angry.

Mohinder? Well - Mohinder had tricked him and had certainly played the part of gloating captor. The spinal tap and the tuning fork were not likely to win any favors. Even then, Sylar had been with Mohinder long enough to know him and come to like him. Sylar offered him his life for his ongoing cooperation with the list. In his own way, Mohinder chose his fate as far as Sylar was concerned.

While I really like Sylar as an interesting villain and Zach Quinto plays Sylar as someone who has a certain cachet - Sylar IS a villain and I will enjoy seeing him get his ass handed to him on a platter.

I'm not for Sylar as morphing into some anti-hero. He's a serial killer. The online novels show that he has no hesitancy in killing normal people too if they might even slightly complicate his plans or get in his way. He's a psychopathic mass murderer.

Linderman may be Magneto; but Sylar isn't.

The new graphic novel, Chapter #30, is up, and it's interesting. It leads right up to the moment in the future when present-day Hiro and Ando meet future Hiro.

It has some interesting things to say about who "The Bomb" is. Or rather, should have been in an unaltered timeline where the cheerleader had not been saved.

So, who will be "The Bomb" if indeed the bomb goes off? Peter? Sylar? Ted?

How will the world be saved?

I can't wait for Monday!

Hmmm, time to make that special announcement

I'm not sure, but I think Candice can't fool cameras. So, if Sylar tried this, he'd be caught as soon as he appeared on TV.

Evidently - they can.
