Oh good lord. Only on a D&D message board would we fault Mohinder for not taking out Sylar!
Is Mohinder's apartment a 10' x 10' room by any chance?
- There's a good chance Mrs Bennett and Claire's brother are gone. I am curious to see if we'll discover their fates!
- I'm not so sure Sylar has Eden's voice. Or if he does, he has a weaker version of it for some reason. When he talks all funny, he's not always issuing commands and people don't simply obey him, although they are usually (rightfully) terrified of him!
- Yeah, Sylar's bizarro painting was very creepy
- LightPhoenix gave good reasons why Mohinder would grab Peter and run. I'll add one. Mohinder is a nice guy, a hero (not a Hero), who felt it more important to worry about Peter than picking up the bookcase and checking in on scary Sylar.
- Peter got the dreams from Simone's father! That's right! I'd totally forgotten that!
- Parkman DID "hear" his buddy cop thinking about what a loser Parkman was and that he didn't even know that he'd slept with her. And I don't think they knew about the baby until way after that incident, but I suppose it could be the other cops kid maybe.
- Why would Sylar just seeing Mohinder's list give him Parkman's powers Papastebu? Or am I misuderstanding you?
Dire Bare,
Sorry about the clarity--lack thereof--of my reply. I intended to say that Sylar couldn't hear Mohinder's thoughts as he read the list, and as near as I can tell, that would have been the only time he'd have had actual access to the list. He saw a short version on Mohinder's desk, when he said, "Isaac Mendez, where's he?" or something like that, but that was it.
Also, the idea about Parkman's wife and his buddy cop came from the fact that the other cop turned away and looked at some other person that was walking by, to the left of the row of lockers he and Parkman were in, right when he had the thought, "Loser...", etc. It's a stretch, I know, but Parkman kind of jumps to conclusions, at times, and since he can't actually just do a broad-scale reading of someone's mind, he could have been operating on false information the whole time. Kind of put himself into a situation that was beyond him.
Peter has to think about the person whose power he's using, unless they are present, or unless the powers are constant, like Claire's. That's what gets him into trouble, sometimes. I think, also, that he might only "soak up" others' powers, and they decrease over time. Either that, or he gains their powers for life, and just gets a slightly-lesser version of them. This would explain the scars in the next episode, and the one he got this episode. Where his neice would recover completely from anything shy of total destruction of her body--and maybe even that--he can only deal with a few wounds at a time, or come back from death without healing other wounds.
