3. I think the second man in Japan, the one with the banner that had The Symbol on it, is Kensei. He looked just like the picture in the museum.

5. They could just be friends. Sheesh.

6. I don't thinking of any sort is necessarily DL's strong point, and it's not like he had long to ponder.

7. I assume in the previous timeline, Hiro showed up and stabbed Sylar and then teleported away, not knowing that Peter was the bomb. In fact, I don't think it's necessary for anything to have changed except for Peter not calling out to Hiro—which he wouldn't have done, because in the other timeline, he didn't know Hiro yet—and Nathan not showing up. Although that brings up an interesting point—how did Peter survive?—although I guess Ted always survived all his explosions, so not so surprising after all.

What I want to know is, why didn't Peter teleport himself to the middle of the Nevada desert? He's already shown he knows how to use Hiro's powers. And, y'know, while it's nice of Nathan to have died heroically, it seems so pointless

1. Love the icon.
2. Peter's a twit.

Thanks!

yeah! or he could have even just flown by himself, without nathan's help. i was a bit disappointed in that. what, he can't use 2 powers at the same time?

Maybe not. Although Sylar can (loved the whole combining-the-painting-the-future-with-telekinesis-to-make-the-painting-paint-itself thing).

He's a twit.

5. They could just be friends. Sheesh.

No! This is not possible! There is no such thing as "just friends". All people must be paired up, or angsting about not being paired up with the same person angsting over them.

I mean, duh.

How did Nikki survive in the other timeline, then? She shouldn't've.

Super strength includes her immune system? She didn't go after DL so he and Micah both died while she stayed in Las Vegas? She took the money [from Linderman] and ran?

The second two (which I think are the most likely) are changes in the timeline, though. What would make the timeline change from First Timeline, to Second Timeline (the one FutureHiro seemed to return to) to Third Timeline (let's call it the Right One, because I like it the most. I like this city.)

What made it change from the First Timeline to the Second Timeline was Hiro's having gone back in time. That was the only change--and the only reflection of it was that Claire was still alive. IOW the same things happened as far as Niki/DL/Micah in both the 1st and 2nd timelines?

Possibly the change from 2nd to 3rd was Hiro's having gone to the future, come back, and called Nathan a birran? Maybe that third voice (instead of just Peter's and Claire's) was what tipped the scales to make Nathan stop Peter.

BTW I am so disappointed that Candice turned out to really look like Missy Peregrym. Really, really disappointed.

In theory, in the future, that future was existing BECAUSE Hiro went to the future. So I was skeptical that they had changed the past at all, in fact, i think it would've made a kickass season finale if the bomb DID explode and kill a ton of people.

unless they flew into outerspace (can nathan fly that high?), the nuclear fall out will surely kill some people. :P

But they had changed the future: In timeline #1 (the one Future!Hiro left), Claire had died and Sylar had regenerated. In timeline #2, she was alive and hiding in Midland and it wasn't explained how Sylar escaped—maybe the same way he did in the third timeline (the one after Present!Hiro went to the future and came back) that we saw last night.

Yes, they did.

But how does that affect Nikki/Jessica/DL's present? I mean, I guess I can see it, but not really.

Why must any difference between two given timelines be the direct result of a single event?

Because for them to just randomly be different in this timeline instead of that, for no reason whatsoever, doesn't make sense.

... You realize this is a television show? And that's it's sci-fi, at that? ;-)

In any case, there could easily be an intermediate timeline we haven't seen.

... You realize this is a television show? And that's it's sci-fi, at that? ;-)

That's why I've never understood why sometimes, TPTB try to reconcile all the continuity errors. Don't they realize they need something for us geeks to do while waiting for new episodes (or other media)?

Right. They out-and-out admitted in an interview that it was an error back in the early part of the season when they said Mohinder was 2 when Shanti died, and that viewers should accept the died-before-he-was-born thing from "Landslide" as truth.

It's not an error. It's a Hiro-induced rift in the time-space continuum.

*shrugs* I'll take Tim Kring's word for it. But you believe whatever makes you happiest. *g*

BTW: When Peter had his dream trip thing, a little thing flashed up saying "To see all of Peter's journey, log onto heroes.nbc.com." Do they mean his journey throughout the show (and therefore the "character profile" pieced together on the website frmo all the episodes) or is there somethign about the dream trip that's hiding on the website and I can't find it?

Looking forward to this summer's comics, they're introducing a character who's from out here ...

It certainly would've been surprising.

#3: According to my husband, Kensei (the guy with the banner at the end) was played by George Takei.

Really?

Lends credence to one theory that Hiro's father is Kensei:

- All the stories Mr. Nakamura told Hiro about Kensei.
- Mr. Nakamura's proficiency with a sword.
- The part where Kensei is played by Takei.
- "I have waited a long time for a Nakamura to ascend" can be a bit ambiguous - why not "one of you", referring to Hiro/Kimiko?

*hearts the show*

I guess the season finale wasn't as spellbinding as I was hoping. Just not too much suspense. When the police officer was shot, it was all over for me because I knew they were going to be able to do it since he was alive in the "future", so that meant they'd be able to change the future, which for me was the question all along.

And of course Syler was going to live (and they'd be stupid and not decapitate him) so that they could have a good villain for next season.

I think a better season for next season would be to have all different heroes (since there's a ton of them across the planet), or maybe just a couple of the same ones, and these guys have different purposes in the next season's finale...

yeah, i said, "i'd totally cut off sylar's head to make sure he's dead." daniel said, "i'd do more than that!" i was disappointed he lived. i think the creepy guy who can see molly when she thinks about him is enough of a villain for next season that sylar could have been killed and not missed.

There will be. Whole bunch of new characters being introduced, some of them in the online graphic novel this summer before appearing in the show.

Also, I'm assuming that the man who can see Molly when she looks for him is next season's villain—though I do wish Sylar would have died, and I gather that the plan was that he was going to, but the fan outcry was too huge.

And we've lost a bunch of characters this season anyway: Simone, Isaac, Nathan, Matt ...
