Wait. In the paintings, there's DEFINITELY one of Hiro and his friend under the Homecoming banner. In the episode last night there was no scene like that at all (and barely any Hiro). Maybe that'll happen next episode. We'll see.
Anyone think Mohinder has powers?
I think Peter has a secondary power called Getting a Flight to Odessa or Midland Texas from NYC that DOESN'T Take 12 Hours worth of Layovers. Does anything FLY to Odessa or Midland!?!
There is a lot in the show that doesn't make since like why would Claires dad assume her daughter would stay in her room instead of guarding her every move to make sure she doesn't leave. I enjoy the show more when I don't think.
The little kid of the Two different personality chick is pretty damn annoying and his acting tears at my brain.

That's exactly what I said last night. There was no way that he could get there on time... let alone hang out in Midland and get to Odessa.
Private Jet? They are rich aren't they?

Wait this show is about a guy who can freeze time and time travel, a guy who emits radiation, a chick who regenerates fast, a mind reading cop, a flying guy ... etc.
But the flight that's the unbelievable part. Riiiigghhtt. :)

Riiiigghhtt. :)After the trouble I went through trying to get to Quebec last week ... it takes a real hero to navigate security, run between terminals, be redirected out from security to the wrong terminal, only to have to return back to the terminal you were in originally, get searched again, and still make it to your meeting on time - despite the idiot taxi driver dropping you off on the wrong street (even when you asked if he was sure it was the right place).
Nope. I have complete respect for Peter getting there on time ... though (according to Orbitz) there is a 9:00am Continental Flight connecting through Houston (2:15 layover) that would get him into Midland about 4:00. If he left any later he would have been there AFTER the homecoming game.

oh, and Sylar can't be Peter because if Time Cop has taught us anything it's that same matter can't occupy same space.

OK I've called just about every twist they have thrown at us in this series. Now I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say last nights episode never happened. I'm betting by Hiro going back in time, six weeks, he has changed the future and all the events we witnessed last week will be erased.
I know I am probbably wrong, but...

It was six months. But anyways, yeah, if they do totally cop out like that, I'll be pissed. Because all the deaths they've had so far they could have Hiro save, or have memories erased. I'm with whoever said "I like this show better when I don't think." Not because I'm a fan of not thinking when watching stuff (cuz I'm the exact opposite) I just don't care to overanalyze irrelevant stuff like the flight time, or whatever. If anything else, people should be pissed at the dialogue being COMPLETELY unbelievable. But still, I know what they're going for, and I'm enjoying the story, and that's all that counts, right? Right?

Another great episode. I loved last nights, finally enjoyed a nikki/jessica story line which was getting boring and the sylar origin was really cool.
Big SPOLIER
... I think Hiro might of stopped Charlie from being killed but instead she died of that brain clot. Either way I felt really bad for her with Hiro popping out after she told him she was going to die, she must of thought he abandoned her to die alone. Which made me feel sorry for Hiro as wel who couldn't get back to help.

I recall someone posting that Sean Bean was Sylar, and I recall IMDB saying as much... did I just dream that?
This was the first ep that I felt was weak. It had a lot of repeated info, and did very little to further the story for me. There was no info that I couldn't of lived with out to get the story to completion aside from the sister reference.... but did I really need an hour long show to tell me that?

i don't like how the indian dude's father has the heroes pegged down exactly. i mean how can you mathmatically find them and all that crap. at least prof. x had cerebro. i just find him and the map too much. anyone else have a problem with that?
interesting how hero can't change the past...i think that is how time travel would actually go down. cause you going back in time was already part of equation that brought the event you wanted to change into being.
nice back to the future nod...great scott!!

Yeah, and as we all know, IMDB is never wrong :rolleyes:. You know if you have a premium account, you can pretty much contribute to anyone's profile, right? Some asshat decided to be cute.
You really could have lived without seeing Sylar's origin? Or Eden's entry into HRG's organization?
I find it interesting that HRG already had the scary black guy in his employ before the professor ever contacted him about Claire. He had obviously been tracking Eden for some time also, because he was prepared to counter her power and bring her in.
Yeah, there was some repetition in the closing monologue, but I think that's to ease us into what's happening next week for the fall "finale". We'll be back in present day then, and they might have wanted to remind us what happened last week so that it makes more sense.

I'm pretty sure that the writers are borrowing from Isaac Assimov's "Foundation" series, and the character Harry Seldon that mapped out the future probability and is responsible for Foundation. It's all mathematics and is thoroughly believable, although it would require massive computer time. If you haven't read it you should, The first book is required reading, but the second book is where it shines.

would make more sense if he had a power that would let him find other ppl with powers...not some map with pictures and a laptop.

I am still not a fan of the Nikki/Jessica storyline ... I hope the gets tied together soon. Also, Mindreading Cop ... not coming together yet.
BUT, the shocker for me was how Nathan Petrelli's wife got crippled. So, does she know Nathan can fly - or is it all a blur. It also explain the mob boss connection a little more.
And I think Claire and Eden need to get a little girl on girl action going ... but that could just be me.

Im so glad Nora Zehetner is in this show, shes a damn good actress.
I thought the episode was probably one of the worst but still a good ep. Lots of information was put into it but I wasnt really prepared to know that much about Sylar yet I guess.
And the cracking the internet in half joke was a really good nod to the core audience of the show.

Damn I'd seen the episode yet still believed you enough to spend 20 mintues checking on the weezer websites / forums, imdb and the heroes fan sites until I found for sure that it was Zachary Quinto that played sylar.
Also while searching found out the BBC2 are showing Heroes in the UK in 2007. I think this is a big scoop for the BBC. I'm surprised that Channel 4 or Sky one didn't out bid them as usual. I just hope they dont do what they do with family guy and american dad and put it on post 11pm with no promotion.

Yeah. I was just joking about the Rivers thing. Anyone else think of Rivers when you saw Sylar?
And this episode was good as a reset for the rest of the story. The best part was when it was over and it said "Next week: The Last New Episode Before The New Year" Laura goes "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" That was pretty funny.

I bet Sylar steals powers. He could move the cup after he killed the first guy. I'm thinking he absorbs the parts of the brain that has the power, hence the way he's killing his victims.
And maybe the waitress (aka JLo's new TV crush) isn't dead of the brain clot. It could just be the portion of her brain that has her developing powers.

still think Sylar ate her brain, but the blood clout might give him some sort of power indigestion. that's why he slipped up on the whole Claire fiasco. her name had to be on the list though for Sylar to finder her, so she still might have had the gift.

I was really confused on how Hiro couldn't change the past yet he obviously went back and affected it somewhat talking to Peter. I don't understand why he couldn't just tell the waitress to not show up to work that day, then again she probably died of the brain clot which he couldn't change.

yeah, i was pretty sure he was a power-stealer... but how does he absorb them? does he get all cannibalistic and eat the brains? or, because chandra visited him in the first place, his main power is absorbing talents from a brain... but if that was the case, why does he need to take the brain out?

that’s what Wiki suggests too, but i don’t buy it. i think he fixed the watch because his dad was a watchmaker and he’s been trained to be one all his life. it’s much cooler if he’s completely un-powered and is somehow stealing other’s powers in true Dr. Doom fashion.

He "sees" what is wrong/flawed with a device, and knows how to "fix" it. By replicating the "flaw" (mutant power) he can apply the fix to himself.
While Peter needs to be in contact with someone to borrow their powers, Sylar is able to replicate the flaw and permanently acquire the power.

so why couldn't he "see" the flaw with Eden and the Haitian? they took him down pretty quick. also if that were true, how did manage to pick the wrong cheerleader. the pieces just don't fit.

he tried telling her not to go to work...it didn't work. and she didn't die of ablood clot...sylar killed her.
he didn't change anything when he went back to talk to peter...future hiro always went back in time to talk to peter. that is how the whole "save the cheerleader save the world" thing got started. peter told present day hiro that he talked to him from the future. so in the future hiro knows he will go back in time and tell peter the message. he knows he won't have to say anything more, because everything worked out the way it did because of that exact message.
just like when out present day hiro first met the waitress. it was his first time meeting her, but she actually met him 6 months earlier. she eventually believed that he was from the future and realized that this hiro doesn't know her yet. she acted like it was there first meeting.
we know that hiro was always in her past...not just when he decided to jump back...by the fact that she got a japanese phrase book for her bday. she told hiro that before she died. so we know his time jumping doesn't create alternate universes.
you might think he changed the past the when he saved the girl from being hit by the truck, but that is not the case. that girl was meant to be saved by a man that can bend time and saw it happen in a comic book in the future.
hiro's time travel rules make much more sense than marty mcfly's. marty did all this stuff to alter his present, but he is the same person. where is his memories of the truck he is going to take jennifer camping with? why doesn't he know his father is a famous author and that biff cleans their cars? why are they all still living in that small house?
hiro's way is that events happen the way they happen. if someone goes back in time to stop something...well it doesn't work. the time traveler was always a part of the equation. it is actually the opposite. you going back in time helps that event take place.
say i go back in time to kill my grandfather before he met my grandmother. just the fact that i am alive tells me that i will fail. the gun will jam or something. i won't be able to kill him because he never died at that point.
now there is a theory if u go back in time it will create an alternate universe...if that is true i will kill my grandfather...but i will still be there from the original universe.
now i wish i can go back in time and stop me from writing this long reply.

I think the Haitian is a power dampener/memory sucker. He messes up your mind. That would explain why he made the cop go all drunken at the bar and sapped his memories and why Sylar can't effect him or locate him.
And his next power will be on Day Break when he wakes up to the same day every episode.

He "sees" what is wrong/flawed with a device, and knows how to "fix" it. By replicating the "flaw" (mutant power) he can apply the fix to himself.
so, he replicates the "flaw", which is a mutation leading to the power..but if he fixed it then he wouldn't have the flaw, hence no mutation, hence no power right?
also, i think having the "flaws" of people is gonna mess him up. hes becoming obessessed with getting everyone's powers, but he is a "fixer" at heart, so i wonder if thats whats messing with him, having all these flaws but not wanting to fix them, but feelin he has too
also, this makes me think our firestarter buddy is gonna be taken out and sylar may be the one that takes out the city (referring to my point about him having the struggle within, maybe this last power he couldn't handle and he snaps)

hiro's time travel rules make much more sense than marty mcfly's. marty did all this stuff to alter his present, but he is the same person. where is his memories of the truck he is going to take jennifer camping with? why doesn't he know his father is a famous author and that biff cleans their cars? why are they all still living in that small house?
hiro's way is that events happen the way they happen. if someone goes back in time to stop something...well it doesn't work. the time traveler was always a part of the equation. it is actually the opposite. you going back in time helps that event take place.
say i go back in time to kill my grandfather before he met my grandmother. just the fact that i am alive tells me that i will fail. the gun will jam or something. i won't be able to kill him because he never died at that point.
now there is a theory if u go back in time it will create an alternate universe...if that is true i will kill my grandfather...but i will still be there from the original universe.
now i wish i can go back in time and stop me from writing this long reply.

he didn't change anything when he went back to talk to peter...future hiro always went back in time to talk to peter. that is how the whole "save the cheerleader save the world" thing got started. peter told present day hiro that he talked to him from the future. so in the future hiro knows he will go back in time and tell peter the message. he knows he won't have to say anything more, because everything worked out the way it did because of that exact message.
yea but who started that? wouldnt the "1st Hiro" have to go thru life and then tell "2nd hiro" to save the cheerleader? but that couldn't be possible since the "1st hiro" would have died in by the bomb (assuming hes in the city) and never told his younger self ("2nd hiro") to save the cheerleader.. thats what gets me confused about the time paradoxes...
just like when out present day hiro first met the waitress. it was his first time meeting her, but she actually met him 6 months earlier. she eventually believed that he was from the future and realized that this hiro doesn't know her yet. she acted like it was there first meeting.
that makes sense, i need to go rewatch the ep to see if she acts odd after seeing hiro

I'm really happy with the way they handled time travel, that was the way I always invisioned it to work, you can't change the past you can only change your present. But that will bring up the question, what about the big explosion in NYC? Are they not going to stop it?

not sure if this was talked about, but is it nikki's power or jessica's? maybe jessica had the ability to jump into other's bodies (while being strangled by dad, her power manifested and she jumped into her sister by accident), and since her body is gone maybe she cant jump out (can only jump from her old body to new, cant jump from person to person) but can take over whenever she wishes??

So does anyone else think that Nikki/Jessica's father is also Nathan and Peter's father? I got the clear impression that the show was hinting at that last night. I think he died of a heart attack just after Jessica's attack on him. The scene where Nathan tells Peter of their dads death was right after Jessica attacked her dad. I think another clear indication is his crazy mood swing involving Micah when he saw him taking apart the computer. We know that Nathan and Peter's father supposedly had some kind of psychological problem.
Eww, if I am right I just realized I am saying that Nathan ****ed his sister.

it is a "time loop".
this is the biggest paradox when it comes to time travel. let me give you an example. say i go into the future. while i am there i go to the library and see a "Time" magazine where someone discovered where jimmy hoffa is buried. i go back to my present and tell some guy about it. he then goes and digs up jimmy hoffa and "Time" magazine puts him on the cover.
now..that information came from me telling this guy about a magazine i saw in the future. that magazine article came about because i told a guy in the past about the location of jimmy hoffa. so where did the information come from? thin air?
hiro coming back to peter is proof that he was not killed by the bomb (and peter must be alive because hiro doesn't know him really w/o the scar). so there are two options...hiro is not around when the bomb goes off...or...the following was meant to happen:
hiro goes into the future right before the bomb goes off, goes back to his present and starts making his way to new york...living out the events we have seen, stopping the explosion and then some time in the future going back and telling peter about "save the cheerleader".
the second option is kinda up in the air until we see what happens with the bomb. hiro said he can't change the past...and that means the future too...right? i mean when he tried to save the waitress...it was his past, but her future.
we know he has seen the explosion in the future...so there might be a huge plot hole in the "hiro can't change things" rule.
my question is how is saving claire going to save the world? do you think it just means if sylar got her power he would be unbeatable...or do you think there is something more that connects her to preventing the explosion?
So does anyone else think that Nikki/Jessica's father is also Nathan and Peter's father? I got the clear impression that the show was hinting at that last night.

i don't think they're related. that'd be a storyline right out of a soap opera. i think he just freaked out about the computer because it was so expensive and new and micah decided to take it apart right away.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Will that eventually lead to Jessica jumping into other people's bodies to do her bidding? Maybe jumping into Sylar to finally do some good? Or jumping into someone to help Sylar now that he's been captured?

so, he replicates the "flaw", which is a mutation leading to the power..but if he fixed it then he wouldn't have the flaw, hence no mutation, hence no power right?
also, i think having the "flaws" of people is gonna mess him up. hes becoming obessessed with getting everyone's powers, but he is a "fixer" at heart, so i wonder if thats whats messing with him, having all these flaws but not wanting to fix them, but feelin he has too...
Actually, he doesn't see "flaws" more like the errors causing the thing not to function correctly. Basically, I see it like he sees everyone with a power, but the power isn't at the full potential so it is "flawed." So fixing it would actually be taking out whatever is limiting it. Although I'm not sure he even knows how to "fix" it, he just knows it's broken.

You guys are al forgetting that Sylar had mohinder's father's map and all of his life's work. So obviously he cant just sense super people, or he might have gotten the cop's abilities when they briefly met that one time (and forced the chick cop's gun to her head). So he just hunts down the people he knows have powers. And since the Claire's father had her name taken off the list, he would've had to have found that out from the newspaper, so THAT's why he killed the wrong cheerleader.
I do agree with some superhuman ability to fix things, though. I mean, I don't think he eats brains (as cool as that might be) but can find "what's wrong" once he's in there, and thencan put that part in his brain so it works.
And I agree that the cheerleader isn't my type. Too old.
kramertron
11-30-2006, 07:15 AM
I think Sylar basically absorbs the powers of the people he kills no matter the means, and that he's simply found the quickest way to kill people by simply taking their brain out of the equation (and plus it makes for a much better/easier/more believable TV shot than a beheading). He killed his first "Hero" through conventional means, so I think it's possible that this is the case (but I do realize we don't see what happens after, so he could very well still have sliced his skull open and palm read his brain, but I find that to be lame).

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say...only I think he eats people's brains. Eats them. And when he finds a guy who can burn people's skulls off with their fingers, then he kills his ass and absorbs those powers too. It kinda sucks that the antagonist is just one huge jealous jerk...but if they ever fight him...he has SOOOOOO many ****ing powers. That's almost video game proportion and that BETTER happen. Oh man.

Yeah, but if you put the nurse guy (why can't I remember any names except Hiro and Claire?) next to him, then won't he also get Sylar's powers, and therefore it would be an even match? Except if other supers are there with him, then he'll get their's, too. So basically that guy is the most powerful, not Sylar.

Here you notice that the brain is gone so sylar has taken issacs brain doing what ever he does with it(My opinion would have to be eat it, because I doubt he carrys around a sack full of peoples brains to harness their power lol).

that's what I SAID. He eats brains. and that is ****ing awesome...but why? b/c his power is fixing things and in order to fix them (as he has a flaw) he has to kill them and put them into a person who can handle and who WANTS the power?...hmmmm....
Sylar's a sick character, though, burns people's heads off so it's clean and no brain is spilled, eats brains (absorbs maybe...?).
i'm sure at some point he's going to use Hiro's girl's powers to do something against hiro...that's what i'd write into that shit. man.

Yeah, especially since that's all they talk about in bumpers for it. "From the show that's known about its surprise endings, this one is going to REALLY surprise you" or something like that. I'm not entirely sure pumping a show solely for its surprise endings every episode is really the way to sell a show, what they need to do is show Hiro, lots of Hiro.
But I am excited to see what the cliffhanger is, maybe something to do with the mushroom cloud? How many days until that happens anyways?

Dude. It's Little Nicky!!! I think I just ruined the show for everyone!
I thought that he'd just forgotten to breakout of his character as Rocky Balboa's son.

oh how simple time paradoxes would be if you were the one to control the space time continum.
there is no fighting it.
but i guess this is how dannyt sees ppl and dinosaurs being together.

I don't know how you could see the ending coming, unless MuleD means he guessed the end during the final scene, once I seen the reaction of the others I guessed it too but no way I could of guessed that before the dream began.
SPOILERS!!!!
I can't say exactly when but during the first part of the ep I realized Peter takes powers and he has a hell of a time trying to control them. And I think everybody figured it would be the guy who was radioactive. But I figured Peter would absorb his power and not be able to control it, and boom. I'm not sure how it's going to play with everyone else being there to stop him or help him or what. That's what I meant.

This had me laughing hard for a full minute. Thanks for the best birthday present I could get. HAHAHAHAHA! I'm still laughing! I called this shit!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Man! If this means I can't watch the show with a straight face anymore it's okay! Nikki's storyline was already boring me and Hiro started to make me think that American writers think Japanese people are morons... he's turning into a freaking Charlie Chan character and it's becoming insulting!
But man. MAN! This was funny as hell!

I think that the broken DNA curve/tattoo is all we are going to see. the symbol being a strand of broken DNA makes sense, since the powers are supposedly genetic mutations.

Hmm, I'll have to rewatch... I was thinking it was the other way around, because the time that I saw it was when she found DL's jacket and she was very Nikki at that moment... but maybe it was that seeing the jacket with the hole and the blood made Nikki take over... I was medicated when watching so I guess I'm not the best witness...

Definite spoilers ahead if you havent seen the latest episode
Plus Hiro said what if I step on a bug? And he was clearly referencing A sound of Thunder and the butterfly effect (not the movie) so yeah definately a dinosaur.
But wow so much stuff happened in this episode, im really said that Eden is most likely dead but that room kept Sylar powerless so how did he pull her through the glass? Ive been happy with the Jessica/Nikki and DL story since the beginning when other people were saying its crap but there is still nothing really happening with it besides here turning her self in and its losing my interest. Hiro needing to get the sword and fight a dinosaur would be sweet but I think the sword will be in a museum or something and the dinosaur would be fake. Claires dad mind wiping everyone was crazy but im wondering what the Haitian is up to now, he obviously wants her around for New York but whats his deal in the whole thing. And what made Peter have that vision? I think the second half of the season is going blow the first half away with The List and the new characters that will be involved in it. Awesome show.

I just assumed Eden cleared the way and once she swiped the card or whatever so she could break him out the room lost it's powers. Unless the room never was the one stopping him to begin with, and the hatian being at the cheerleader's was what actually allowed it. I can see psylar trying for hours/days to use his powers to get out to no effect and finally giving up to wait for a more opertune chance. With Eden coming in, that could've been the marker for him to try his powers again.

i don't think she was trying to break him out of the room. she was going to give him the gun through the drawer and have him kill himself. i think her shooting herself in the head tells us sylar doesn't eat the brains...he needs to examine it...course i could be wrong.
i think it is going to be VERY interesting to see what happens when Peter gets close to the hatian. Will Peter's power be stiffeled or will he be able to borrow from the hatian and in turn switch of the hatian's power.

But future Hiro wanted him to save the Claire, meaning she had died, meaning her power wouldn't be around to put him back together to give him the scar. The scar must come from something else... maybe the nuclear explosion they're all trying to stop isn't even what future Hiro is refering to when he says "save the world"... maybe Peter got the scar when the blast went off, but survived, and they all lived in a hell-world like in Jericho, and then far down the line they needed her to be around for some other reason all together.

Remember how in one episode it was said that the most common form of mutation is cancer or a tumour? And then we found out that the waitress had a tumour in her brain... one would assume caused by the same mutation that gave her super memory, or pressure from the tumour triggered something in her mind to unlock, giving her that power. Perhaps something similar is happening with Peter. He's got some kind of cancer along with his powers. Maybe that's why he's sick...
Another theory that just occurred to me... maybe Sylar's power is to alter his own DNA, as hinted at in the last episode. Maybe Peter's encounter with Sylar made Peter alter his own DNA just slightly, not knowing what he was doing, as he usually is when he first gets someone else's power. Maybe he made himself sick with a power he picked up breifly from Sylar. Or it could have been some weird combo of Sylar and Claire's powers? Who knows....

That's a bad assumption. Just because future Hiro said "save the cheeleader, save the world" It implies nothing more than the cheerleader will be in danger of lossing her life. Perhaps, like with the waitress, Hiro is always part of the equation. i.e. Hiro going back didn't change anything, as when it "played out" with meeting her and then her dying, she had already met Hiro. i.e. That picture on the wall with Hiro was always there, it's just Ando didn't notice it until after Hiro left. So, for the cheerleader part, current Hiro knows that he will go back in time to tell Peter "save the cheerleader, save the world" and he will have a sword. So, the future Hiro may just be going back to tell Peter because he remembers that he was told a future him did that. i.e. He needs to do it or the cheerleader may die. It's totally like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, when they are at the gas station and see their future selves, and because of that when they become the future them they know exactly what to say, as they have heard it before.

Yeah, I see what you mean. It's kinda like in the TimeSplitters game (that was a good game). Only Hiro does change some things, as the waitress didn't recognize Hiro when he and Ando first showed up, and they show the picture from her birthday and Hiro isn't in it until after he chrono-ports away. So those past events hadn't actually happened yet. Ugh, time travel.
I figure he can only nudge the time line. I mean, he can only do things that would either happen anyways, i.e. the Japanese phrase book, or wouldn't really effect the overall time line, like being at Charlie's birthday party and becoming her friend. But as soon as he's about to do something that would drastically change what's "already" happened, he's ripped away, almost like by an unseen force. Maybe there's some kind of being over him that grants him his powers and that's why he didn't have them afterwards? But that sounds super far fetched and way too complicated. Maybe he just has a time-limit on his time powers, and he was in the past for so long, eventually he ran out of power, was auto-reset to a familiar place to his subconscious, and then he had no powers cause they had to "recharge" or something. Ah, whatever the reason, the show's still good. I'm just tossing out ideas here, I make no claim that any of them are actually right. :p
Anyways, if he can only nudge the time line, then that would make sense why he could only risk giving a hint to Peter instead of just going to do it himself. Course he did mention that whole rift thing... i wonder if we'll ever see that?
darknessgp
12-09-2006, 05:15 AM
umm, the thing about the waitress "not remembering" could just be that she is playing like she hasn't met him before. Remember, she knows what his powers are as he told her in her past. He is the one that gave her the japanese phrase book and taught her some japanese. That's how she knew how to say "you are sweet" even though it isn't in the phrase book. About the picture, I went back and watched that episode and that seems to be the only thing that change/can't be explained with him already being in the past.
On the "bounce back" my friend had a good idea. Basically Hiro exists in only one time line, so if he goes back in time, the time he left keeps going forward. However, he can only stay outside of his time for a certain amount of time. So 6 months isn't too far back, not as much as future hiro jumped. But at some point his power is too weak to hold him in the past time and he gets shot back to the time he should be. Like pushing a stone ball up a hill, at some point you are not strong enough and the ball rolls back down the hill.
and saying major vs minor changes would change the main functionality of his power... i.e. if some things are deemed more important (i.e. major changes) it implies some intelligence, when in reality it is probably equal. i.e. a change is a change whether things go from waitress having a blue pen instead of a black one or the world is blown up prematurely.

briangilmore, your making the assumption that his dream/vision is prophetic. We know that it probably isn't as he hasn't been close to Isaac. It would make more sense that these are just an expression of Peter's emotions or they represent something and are not meant to be taken so literal. i.e. When we was dieing to prove to someone that he could fly he had the dream that he was showing the old guy he could fly.
Also, I think there is a connection part to it. Kind of like his power is more than just having others powers but he can actually feel or see or something what they do. That would at least explain the vision with his brother's car crash. I'm not sure what the vision with him exploding means. I'm doubtful it's actually him that explodes, but peter also wasn't around the radiation guy, if he is the one to explode. Perhaps it is Sylar that explodes. With peter being so close to Sylar it would explain both the Nathan turning into Sylar and explosion (assuming Sylar is the one that explodes) With the Nathan turning into Sylar makes sense as Sylar had some "evil" tendencies before turning evil, which would align with how peter sees nathan.

although you make a good point, i think it's safe to say that Peter's dreams might be prophetic and/or clairvoyant, because he predicted the car accident of nathan's, he could talk to the recently dead, and furthermore he saw how he himself might be the problem. I was talking about in Peter's dream, though, and sort of fecisciously that yeah, peter was gonna blow up, but why let him destroy New York and not just fly him up there yourself?
I also prescribe to the idea that Future Hiro was talking about something that is not the explosion, because he says save the world not New York. Has there been any kind of proof that the bomb might go beyond New York?

umm, the thing about the waitress "not remembering" could just be that she is playing like she hasn't met him before. Remember, she knows what his powers are as he told her in her past. He is the one that gave her the japanese phrase book and taught her some japanese. That's how she knew how to say "you are sweet" even though it isn't in the phrase book. About the picture, I went back and watched that episode and that seems to be the only thing that change/can't be explained with him already being in the past.
or his future self tryed to save her by making them meet and gave her the japanese phrase book? or something like that. Did he gave her a book in the past ? i don't remember.

Possible Spoiler for upcoming episodes

Fans of NBC's Heroes were shocked to see Isaac's painting of Hiro fighting a dinosaur, with his sword no less, in the fall finale of the popular new series. But is it something we'll actually get to see? Yup! TV Guide reports:
I'd want to read minds like Greg Grunberg does, that way I'd know if Masi Oka was pulling my leg when he told me last week that we "will see Hiro fighting a T-Rex" — hence the painting in the fall finale. "Don't forget," he added, "I [have a part-time job at] Industrial Light and Magic. You never know when I'll whip out a CGI dinosaur."
"Heroes" returns with new episodes on January 22.

I love how he just throws that out there. Ya I act and do CGI for ILM on the side. No big deal.
My money is on Hiro going back in time. Seeing the T-Rex and a "oh shit" look on his face before he teleports out. But not an epic battle. He'd just freeze time and take it out at the legs with the sword.

I rewatched the 6 months ago episode, and yes, Hiro does give her the Japanese phrase book. So, everything but the picture from when she died seems to fit with the "she's already met Hiro and going back was always part of it" The picture may just be that she hid it and put up a different one, and then when she died they were putting up the memorial and they found the pic with Hiro, and put it up as she loved him so much.

Or this show is completely inconsistent with their theories on time travel.

For any one here who didn't know Heroes was nominated for a Golden Globe(Best Television Series - Drama).
Masi Oka was also nominated for a Golden Globe (Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television).

I'd be doubtful of that, considering how big of a geek Masi Oka is and the fact that they know fans will question it. Perhaps, they did that for effect more than consistency. I've seen shows before go against what they just set up to make it more dramatic. Plus, it wouldn't make sense for them to show the b-day party pic with Hiro in it when they had showed the one that he wasn't in.

yep. But the dinosaur that was painted wasn't a skeleton... so, there is still hope for him fighting a real one.
