Thank-you everyone! I'll try to watch online (I've been busy at the school today.) Being Canadian, we don't get Sci-Fi and being on basic cable, we don't even get Space (our Sci-Fi). I don't think they play repeats of Heroes anyway, since Space and Global are owned by different companies.

Oh.my. Can't even make it to the third word of that phrase because that episode was so freakin' good.

When I heard they were going to jump ahead, I was worried about it being gimmicky. No way. That was terrific plot development.

And I thought I was an Adrian Pasdar fan before, but he was awesome last night. I kept wondering why oh why he was acting so strangely - like Nathan, but not really like Nathan. Then we found out why, and it made so much sense. No wonder the future's scary...with Sylar as president, how could it be anything else?

Yup. Just yup. I'm speechless and you said what I feel.

Adrian Pasdar. *swoon*

He's completely awesome.

This show is so well-written that it just blows me away. I bow to the writers' brilliance.

That was a complete surprise to me bc I could see Nathan being that pragmatic...but what's Matt's excuse and for that matter, Haitian and Mohinder?!? At least Mohinder finally came around.. But the Haitian dude...he was so nice to Claire...

Future Peter (he looked like just like Neo from the Matrix he even had the coat!) and Hiro (deeper voice)were complete BAD A$$es TOO!!! Did we ever see how Peter got the scar?

I agree, this was the best hour of tv I have seen in forever!!

I wonder if the Haitian wasn't working for Nathan's mom. If she doesn't know that Nathan is dead...

The Haitian apparently did some really bad things before saving Claire, so it's not unreasonable to expect that he'd continue to be willing to do so now, especially if he didn't save Claire out of the "kindness of his heart", but because he was getting orders from what's-her-face.

Something I'm worried about though...If Hiro does manage to kill Sylar and/or stop the Peter-bomb from destroying New York, will the next season have that Bobby-Ewing--it-was-all-a-dream feeling? You know, kind of a "I watched all this to go right back to where we were before" kind of thing.

Peter has Clair's power so he can survive the bomb where Sylar can't until he kills chameleon women and kills Nathan and assumes his identity then kills Clair. Where the heck is Linderman in the future? Did he die too by Sylar or the bomb? Sylar also has DL's power....so I think he is still killing people and taking powers over and over...thus why he wants to kill all of them now.

I don't think it will be a dream...but more the multiple layers of space time continuum and different time lines....etc. So there is plenty of ways to go....maybe Sylar kills Hiro and then he is trying to turn it back to were he live and the rest die...they would have to be guard all the time.

Well, I didn't mean a dream specifically. I just used that as a reference to signify the big let down for Dallas fans when Patrick Duffy's character 'came back to life'. It happened in the season finale and made the whole season a waste to watch because everything went back to the way it was when it began.

I'm just hoping they (meaning the writers, producers, etc.)don't do too much time jumping to change things because that would take away too much continuity in a series/genre where continuity can mean everything.

That was an amazing episode!!!

Of course it left me with lots of questions but the one that is really bugging me is why Peter has that big scar on his face when he has the power to heal himself. We've never had any sign that he or Claire could control that power - it always appears to be automatic and beyond their control - so why the scar? Not that he doesn't look awesome with it!

I wondered the same thing about the scar. Must be a reason for it not healing. (H of MI, have you seen anything in the comics about the scar?)

One other thing I wondered about was in the "dream" sequence Isaac was with Claire. If that was meant to be the future, then the future (as originally laid out) has ALREADY changed since he's dead. It also explained the strange look on Nathan's face in the dream sequence...cuz by then Sylar may already have been impersonating him.

And Hiro *was* successful in getting the cheerleader saved, which is likely a part of what is starting to change things. It won't prevent the bomb though until Sylar is dead. I wonder though, if there are multiple futures and Hiro can go back to the past and change things...what if Sylar, in some *version* of the future absorbed Hiro's power and just went back a little further to ensure his preferred sequence of events? Gets a bit mindbending eh?

And I'm curious why Sylar would choose to let the Haitian and Mindreader live. We know for certain now that Haitian is able to suppress powers, so maybe that's why he's safe, but as turned on as Sylar is with absorbing powers wouldn't he lust over the ability to read people's thoughts??? All I can think is that at some point he realized he would need some henchmen (as he hasn't found the ability to be omnipresent), and figured who better than some fellow mutants.

Great angle overall for the ep. Really could examine our Heroes and put them in situations that the current storyline doesn't allow. Can do any sort of what if scenario and yet anyone who dies, or succeeds, doesn't necessarily have to wind up that way.

Very well done! (But I still like last week better.)

This weeks comic has F_Peter helping F_Hiro rescue about 200 people they have in a prison about a year after the bomb. Peter meets Jessica for the first time here as she is locked behind a much stronger door than the other prisoners who are in cells. As the leave there are 3 new Heroes and Homeland security there as they spring their trap. Then it ends. One new Hero has F_Hiro by the neck off the ground, one has lighting/electricity coming from him and one is flying.

One other thing I wondered about was in the "dream" sequence Isaac was with Claire.

When was this?

the 'vision' peter had when he first started to suspect he was the bomb. they included a clip during the episode (or during the hour...don't remember if it was part of the show or bumper material), and there was isaac running with claire as peter was about to blow up.

of course, we don't really know how much of that vision was intended to portray the future.

My head is spinning! When do the DVD's come out...I need to start over! *sigh*

I just read in EW that they are going to make it so you can just watch an individual character's story arc on the DVDs.

That would be cool and informative, I think.

I can't add much more to what's been discussed-just wanted to add WOW! Best thing on tv in a long long time.

Finally watched it over the weekend. Loved it! One other question, since Peter saved Claire, how was Sylar able to survive the bomb, since he hadn't absorbed Claire's regeneration powers? So how did the future happen the way it did? Or can Hiro travel to parallel times too?

Sylar didn't have to survive the bomb because he was not the bomber. Peter was....who has Claire's power.

My head hurts.
