Heroes Season 1(#8)---11/13/06-'Seven Minutes to Midnight'

Heh. I posted that theory myself some weeks back.

Cool! It seemed so obvious to me I could beleive no one else had posted it.

Of course it might be a little TOO obvious.

That is a good assumption. I would go with it. I also agree with Cro. I think Sylar will start with her and discover Claire in the process.

What would be amusing is if the other cheerleader did indeed have some hidden ability and she and her abilities are the ones the "save the cheerleader" line Hiro mentioned is what he actually meant. It probably isn't the case, but would be a nice twist nonetheless.

I have a pet theory about Sylar that is probably wrong anyway, but I'd thought I'd share.

Sylar's original power - not all the ones he's taken - isn't telekinesis. His original power is to detect and find other heroes. Somehow from there he and Papa Sureshg figured out he could take powers.

My only bit of evidence for this theory is that he has a copy of the map - but it only lists places. The exception is Nathan, IIRC - but how would he know Nathan has a power unless he can detect it? That is what Sylar and Papa Suresh were working on when they started investigating the heroes.

It could also be why Bennett wants Sylar - not to kill him, but to use him.

The problem with that theory is that it appears that Sylar is trying to kill the paranormals. If he could detect powers, we would have seen the end of Hiro when he went to the restroom. Hiro wasn't suspicious at that point, and it doesn't seem to take Sylar long at all to take off the skullcap.

I still don't see why people think that Sylar is taking people's powers. I have yet to see any evidence of that.

He had a copy of Dr. Saresh's map in his apartment. That's how he knows where the other heroes are. Plus, there was a brief glimpse of Sylar's birth anouncement (Paul Sylar, born 1962), so the "he's Peter" theory really doesn't hold water either.

It's people trying to explain why he lobotomizes his victims. I don't buy it either.

"Hannibal Lecter with TK" is kinda dull[1]. Even more so if he's not eating the brains, and just collecting them in Pyrex jars.

But if he's hunting and killer supers, and eating their brains (slobber munch glomph), and gaining their powers (I know kung fu!), well then, he's a SUPERVILLAIN! And clearly, if he has the powers of multiple supers, it's gonna take a team of supers to take him down.

If he's just a teek (albeit very powerful and skilled), then the Haitian Mindwipe ought to be able to take him, given favorable circumstances.

[1] In this context. If Lecter developed TK in his own ficton, that could be interesting.

 

[BRP2]

There can be multiple Hiro's at once. When he teleports/goes through time, it is his current self that is moving. So this means there can be two Hiros at once... there already has. There was a Hiro is Vegas while there was (future) Hiro in New York.

While Hiro and Ando are moving about in Japan, the Hiro we know now is going back in time to save the girl. When he completes his job, he can go back to the time where he last left and there will be one Hiro again. Any later, and Hiro will have gone missing.

Sylar's map was way better than the Dr.'s. Either he somehow has access to more/better info than Saresh, or he's willing to accept more errors.

The fact that there was once a Paul Sylar doesn't mean that he's the person we know as Sylar. Peter traveling back into the past is going to need some kind of ID. But yeah, it is a stretch.

Mr. Mindwipe couldn't take Nathan. It seems to take him awhile to work his power.
