IMO, Peter is the bomb in either reality. Nathan just blamed Sylar to protect his brother. The future changed when Claire was saved, but not in the way f_Hiro predicted. Yes, Hiro did try to kill Sylar (Peter believed he died) but he survives somehow without the regeneration power(Candace power or cockroach power?) Candace could have been attacked, but saved by Linderman's healing power. I think f_Hiro knew Peter was the bomb, and the scar is evidence that he tried to stop him, but couldn't do it. Hiro will have to rely on Isaac's last 9th wonder comic from the alternate reality to figure out how to stop Peter. (Maybe by stopping Sylar) Maybe the comic changes with each new alternate reality.
when he was speaking with Claire, he said he met a women in Texas who could make him President. Going back to the save the cheerleader episode, he ran into Candace near the end of the episode. Now, I'm not positive if Sylar actually has to kill someone to take their powers, or if he's doing it for fun. If we go by Peter's model (and Sylar has stated to Peter that he is like him), then they only have to touch to absorb the power.
I had forgotten about the cover up. I do think though that Sylar survived in the future because with the changes F_Hiro made, P_Hiro didn't know he needed to kill him. Now he has gone back and if he does succeed in killing him then I think we would see a change in the future, if it were revisited. I think the scar theory is pretty interesting, but if Hiro knew it was Peter then why is he still trying to stop P_Sylar? And why didn't he tell P_Hiro what was going to happen?
No, he did save the cheerleader. Claire was still ALIVE in this EP which means it's like it was all explained. Sylar didn't kill Claire and Peter got her power and Peter ends up being the bomb. Everyone assumes it's Sylar but Sylar never dies. Instead, he kills Candace and Nathan and ends up being elected President with the help of Linderman/Micah. As President, he convinces everyone that he (Sylar) was the bomb and that he died during the explosion. I'm guessing that at some point in the final confrontation that Sylar, after killing Candace, shifts to the form of Peter. Now Hiro doesn't know which one is Peter and which one is Sylar. He chooses the wrong one and attacks Peter. But Peter regens though he is left with a scar. The sword is special. It has that symbol on it and it boosts Hiro's powers so I can see it somehow leaving a scare even though Peter can regen. Now that everyone knows which one is Sylar, Hiro battles him and kills him like it's shown in the last panel of 9th Wonders. The thing is. If Hiro does kill Sylar, Peter is still the bomb and the future is still pretty bleak.
I think the only people who knew Peter was the bomb were Peter and Sylar. Everybody else believed it was Sylar. Nikki, as Peter's girlfriend, didn't even know until he told her 5 years later. I doubt F_Hiro knew the truth. He still believed Sylar was the bomb.
Thanks to the Rockets game last night I didn't get to finish watching the last ep of Heroes until now. I haven't read the comments on last night's show, but I couldn't wait to say that it was the Best.hour.of.television.EVER.
that isnt the shapeshifter.. thats the girl who can intercept satellite signals and computer stuff. She was in the episode with the radioactive man.
Interesting theories all around. I especially like the idea how Peter got his scar from Hiro. My theory is if the cheerleader is saved and Peter still explodes, how is killing Sylar in the past going to stop Peter from exploding again? From last night's episode, it doesn't matter if Peter has regenerative ability or not. That just saves himself from the explosion, but still doesn't stop the explosion itself. SO! Part 1 - We don't want Sylar to kill the cheerleader, because that implies Sylar will have regen and can't be stopped. Sylar must be killed. Why? Part 2- I can only assume that Sylar assumes some 'bomb' power which he imposes on Peter. Or maybe due to Peter's incredible powers, Sylar is somehow able to trigger Peter to explode like an atom bomb. In any case Sylar is ultimately responsible for triggering the explosion, and thus he must be killed before he's able to do it. That's Hiro's job, which he didn't complete yet. Based on last night's episode, the only difference between Peter getting regen or not (saving the cheerleader or not) is that he survives his own explosion. Clearly he did survive but Manhattan was still wiped out. So many cool references in this show though. The future mimics the X-Men theme and major plots it's had in it's history. Peter seemed very 'Neo' like, and Hiro and Peter's final fight was like the ending of the first Matrix. Pretty interesting 9/11 parallels, even mentioning 'Homeland Security.' In a strange and unintentional way, when the news stations flashed Sylar's mug shot in their anniversary coverage, it kind of reminded me of the Virginia Tech event about bringing people together. It was pretty clever to name one of the main saviors of Heroes 'Hiro'.
Chapter 31 is up! Spoiler Doesn't explain how Peter got the scar but at least there's gonna be an X-men vs Brotherhood of Evil showdown!
Geez. Not everyone pile on at once. My wife said that Missy Peregrym (Candace) was listed in the credits (when we were discussing the ep), thus I naturally assumed that Candace was the one helping Bennett. But I went back and looked at the credits online, and it was indeed Stana Katic (Hana) who was guest starring. When I saw Peter's scar, I immediately knew it had to be Hiro who sliced and diced him. Sure, it's not confirmed -- and possibly wrong -- but it fits, given Peter's icy demeanor towards Hiro (and the fact that Peter hid from him at the bar). Like I said, I wanna hear that story.
Watching this episode makes me hate sylar even more. The ****er is killing everyone we know. I will be cheering when he finally dies.
Too late for that now with Past Hiro and Ando teleported back and Future Hiro dead. Plus, that's too logical for TV.
