Heroes Season 1(#22)---5/14/07-'Landslide'

[Fast Learner]

I doubt Sylar eats Molly in the dark future, as finding Claire would have been much easier.

In "reality," having Nathan win by a landslide would be a huge mistake, as it would be so far off exit polling that something would clearly look wrong. While exit polling in the US 2004 Presidential election was different from the vote count, for example, it wasn't off like that.

Did anyone else notice how Sylar dissapeared after telling the FBI agent about 'his duty'?

Has he had invisibility for a while now and I missed it? Or does this mean that Claude has been gone now for a while because Sylar got to him?

I know they didn't show him fade out, but that's what I got from that scene when he said something, and she turned around and he wasn't there.

Further what does that mean for the big showdown if he can go invisible too?

Disclaimer: Of course I could be completely wrong, Claude has had his part and is done now, and Sylar just slipped away into the croud. It just didnt seem that way to me.

If I remember right from when Mohinder first encountered Sylar in his father's apartment, he had super speed that he used to run away. Perhaps he just ran off that fast while the agent's back was turned.

Well, the future has obviously changed. I no longer think that Peter explodes. I think that when Peter saved Claire, je absorbed too much power and went into a coma. In this coma, he had the vision about exploding. He sought Claude at that time.

IN the original timeline, he never knew about Claire. I think he absorbed Ted's power and then confronted Sylar. Without training, he absorbed too much power from Sylar and exploded.

I cannot wait for the finale though.

I bet that this will be addressed if the bomb does not explode. Remember that in the original timeline, the bomb exploded in Nathan's district. No one was going to question him as that point.

I also loved how Nathan told Linderman that his father was his hero. I think that statement and his speech point a way toward him not following the path Linderman wants him to follow.

The future really does need to change if I am going to keep watching. I love this show but if the bomb goes off and New York is destroyed then the future can't really be changed much and having seen the 5 years in the future I don't really want to watch a show going down that path. So I will be optimistic and think that the bomb won't go off, the future can be changed. I will find out Monday.

I think the plan, all along, has been for the bomb to go off the day after the elections. Between the confusion and activity right after the catastrophe and the fact that many of the machines involved may have been vaporized, I don't know if there's really a stumbling block there.

This is pretty much my view. If that future is the one we have to expect, I have no desire to watch the train wreck that will unfold.

There was a scene in the museum, when he stole the (fake) sword, with a T-rex that he stopped in front of. I believe that is what Isaac's painting was refering to.

*nod*. I think that was set up very specifically to show the viewers that Issac's paintings do happen, but they may often not pan out as you might think.

While I would ride it out rather than drop the show, I see your point. More importantly, though, is that I would say Heroes is one of the few truly optimistic shows on television and even if the bomb goes off, that will not be the future in the end. Heck, the whole point could be a 5 year quest to avoid that future as the "meta-plot". ultimately, I think this show is about destiny in the same way as Superman is about destiny: it isn't something you are bound to do or be, it is something you are meant to do or be. There's a world of difference between those things.
