[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 3490913, member: 18182"] Great episode! Were some of you guys actually watching tonight? It certainly does add up. Not that there aren't surprises to be revealed in the last 3 episodes of Season 1! You did catch the part about Nathan not exactly being responsible for the genocide suggested in the episode? 1. Original Timeline: Sylar takes Claire at homecoming and gains the power of regeneration. After a chain of events the "bomb" explodes creating a very dark future. 2. 1st Altered Timeline: Future Hiro travels back in time to warn Peter to "Save the Cheerleader" to prevent Sylar from gaining the power of regeneration. Peter does save the cheerleader, and we see this in the new future (tonight's episode). However, while the cheerleader was saved, the "bomb" still exploded, still creating the dark future. Future Hiro screwed up, because [SPOILER]Sylar is not the "bomb", Peter is[/SPOILER]! We learn this tonight as well, straight from the horse's mouth. 3. 2nd Altered Timeline (which starts with next week's episode): Hiro and Ando return to the present to change the future once again, but do not know that [SPOILER]Peter[/SPOILER] is the "bomb". So how is the world saved? Tune in next week! I just don't understand the hate for Parkman (or Niki/Jessica, DL, Micah, ect). Parkman isn't dumb. He's not brilliantly smart, and he is flawed, but he's far from dumb. The future Parkman is a very dark character who has no idea he's working for Sylar. Why? Why can't Parkman just read Sylar's mind and figure it out? We don't know. That's part of the fun. I get tired of the complaints about this or that character making bad choices and therefore being "dumb" characters. Like half of us would do any better put into such crazy circumstances. This isn't a four-color comic where our heroes are super strong, super smart and always right. This is a character driven drama with very realistic characters (minus the super powers bit) that sometimes, sometimes often, make wrong choices. I like that idea! [/QUOTE]
