HRG, Parkman and Ted: Out of everything that happened, that was actually the most interesting I thought. But you have to wonder what HRG is doing bringing Ted to NYC. It's not as if he doesn't KNOW. He does. What is he thinking?

Mr Bennett is thinking of using Ted to blow up the Tracking Station...and from the way he talked, he sounded rather fatalistic regarding their chances of survival.

This also puts Ted in the same city as Peter . . . they haven't actually met yet . . .
 

I'm suprised nobody's brought this up yet, but during the previews for next weeks show and on the latest graphic novel, we are asked to share our theories on what happens next week, which is set five years into the future.

Soooo, what do you think Hiro and Ando encounter five years from now?

We know Nathan is President and Mohinder dresses better . . .

Nathan seems darker, he already apparently went along with Linderman's "0.07%" plan, sacrificing Peter and half of New York, and Mohinder seems to accuse him of wanting to go further along that path . . .

Do Hiro and Hiro fight?

What do you guys think?
 

One thing I'm wondering about HRG, he doesn't seem overly concerned with his wife and son. The organization must either have them or gotten rid of them off camera, but as far as I recall no mention was made of them after Candace did the switch that got him caught.
 

I was quite disappointed in the episode. Steel Wind got most of the things that bugged me, but not all.

Mohinder not only didn't kill Syler, which doesn't make any kind of sense at all, he carried a bloody corpse down to his taxi (which no one noticed) and drove to the Petrelli home with it. Heavens, why should he call the cops with a dead body and a serial killer in his home? Nope drive up to a rich family's home and say "Hi, I'm a compleat stranger and I've got your dead son in my taxi. What do you wanna do with him?" Yeah, riiiight!

Linderman wants to nuke New York so that the world will huddle together in fear. What planet has he been living on for the last six and a half years? About a quarter of the world's population will celebrate and most of the rest won't care.

When the show is good, it's very, very good. But when it's bad, it's atrocious! And it's usually both at the same time. Still, next week looks really, really good. As for figuring out what's going to happen next week, TV Guide has had some spoilers on that already.

PS: Syler definately has Eden's Voice. How did he get it?

I think we're being too harsh on Mohinder.

I didn't even think twice about Mohinder killing Sylar. We're thinking from a D and D overview of the situation, not actually being in the situation.
1. Sylar has been torturing Mohider for a while, maybe hours. MOhinder, the planner, came up with the ultimate plan to kill Sylar and failed. Mohinder didn't look back. His only thought was to get some place safe. After being tortured for hours rational thinking is thrown out the door. MOhinder wanted to get out as soon as possible. If Mohinder was thinking rational he would have found time to get the gun or a better weapon. Think about it, He knocked a bookcase on to him, whose going to pick up that bookcase and see if the guy is alive.

If anything we should be pointing out the fact that to Mohinder, Peter is dead. Why carry a dead guy out when he's just slowing you down and you gotto get away from a serial killer. Then again Mohinder may not have known Peter was daed until during the car ride.
 

I agree with a lot of what's been said. Mohinder's not killing Sylar is believable if you stop thinking about purely from a tactical perspective. When you momentarily down a guy that powerful, you don't try and finish him off, you take the reprieve you've bought yourself and get the hell out of there.

Linderman's plan for New York does seem to be straight out of Watchmen, but I thought that was kind of cool. He seems to have the details down, since that'll likely lead to President Petrelli being given broad powers to "protect America," and from there...who knows? Though the future seen in this weeks' graphic novel seems a bit more dystopian than Linderman was talking about.

Isaac's death scene...man, I thought that was powerful. He's the guy who's lost everything, but he was still able to accept his death since he knew that he'd given the other heroes what they'd need to defeat Sylar and stop the bomb. At the very end, his curse became his blessing. I like that they're not afraid to kill people in this show, but when they do it it's always very poignant and meaningful. Also, Sylar's rendition of Isaac's painting was very twisted, excellently portraying his warped view of the world. Loved it!

I look forward to the day Candice gets her ass kicked. EVIL woman!
 

apparently he got Eden's DNA from her busted-open head---from the bullet-wound.
Edit: He's killed all of the ones that he stole from, so Eden killing herself wasn't thwarting him, though she didn't know it. What if he somehow acquired super-smart-girl's blood-clot problem also, and it is what causes the radiation-power's control loss, which blows up NY? End EDIT
Also, Sylar hasn't seen ALL of the list, necessarily. He doesn't have Parkman's thought-hearing. Suresh didn't ever show him the list, I don't think.
Parkman's wife is pregnant with the other cop's baby, not his. OR, merely being able to HEAR the thoughts of others, Parkman made an association in his own mund about who the guy---seemed genuinely supportive about the detective's test, and all---was thinking at, and decked him for no reason. When he "listened" to his wife, she thought "He knows..." and she could have been merely thinking about the baby, and had been anxious about how to tell him, with him being so bummed out, recently.
Mohinder was suddenly worried about them finding a decapitated Sylar in his apartment? That's the only reason I can think of that he should have let the crazyman live after all that. He'd already tried to shoot him. Maybe he was so freaked out by Peter's "death" that he just had to get out, taking Peter's body with to give to his next of kin. But it does make more sense if you think two things; he doesn't know how long Sylar is gonna be out, and, he doesn't realize that Peter is "dead". It would make sense, then, for him to not worry about taking Sylar out permanently, because he would know that he as a normal man had very little chance of winning, and for all he knew, Peter could only be unconscious, leaving him helpless and harvestable by Sylar, should he not move him. In the car, he realizes Peter is dead, and takes him to the Petrellis' house.
Anybody that thinks Nathan is going to let Linderman sacrifice Peter in five years ought to think again. He will formulate a plan and thwart his brother's death.
The radiation is going to blow, as scheduled, but it will be Sylar or Ted, not Peter.
Did anybody see in the previews, where Peter has D.L.'s phasing ability? How much you want to bet that he has Jessica's power(s), too. Cool to see more of what he can become.
Can't think of anything else, right now, so ...beh.

Because, for the most part, Peter is the closest thing to a friend that Mohinder has, since Eden died. Also, he may be useful for research, since his ability is on par with Sylar's. Finally, he might not have known Peter was dead when he left with him. All good reasons for Mohinder to grab him.

All that said, Mohinder should have capped him in the head when he had the chance.

Don't forget that Peter has manifested the dream-projection ability - we've never figured out where that came from... :uhoh:
It came from the old man who he was taking care of at the show's beginning. I just think it's cool that he has the "Anything you can do, I can do better ...also," ability. He should already be experiencing super-hearing, gradually-increasing memory, and the ability to do what Sylar does--which, admittedly, is icky, and Peter being a good guy, probably won't WANT to do it--and eat people's DNA for empowerment. What about puddle-boy's power? Did Sylar at some point in that fight melt himself into a puddle and then reconstitute himself? Right at the beginning, when Peter walked in?
