 |
|
The heroes struggle to come to terms with the Texas tragedy; more is learned about the nuclear bombing predicted in Isaac's painting; Matt and Audrey (Clea DuVall) pursue a new lead in their hunt for Sylar; Niki makes a difficult decision, which will allow her to keep her family safe.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!! |

| I just about died laughing when Hiro and Ando get a glimpse of Isaac's new painting in "Fallout" of Hiro battling what looks to be a dinosaur with a sword. Hiro says, "I've got to find that sword." Incredible. I almost fell off my couch from laughing so hard. |

| Oh! I can't believe it was revealed that Peter is the one that blows up and causes the catastrophic explosion. Why does he blow up????? IMy theory is, just from the short clip, that with all the other heroes around him he just "overloads" on powers and his body can't handle it. |

^I loved that too!
It was great that this episode focused so much around Peter. But him as the exploding man? Maybe he absorbed radiation man's powers, but was unequipped to deal with it? Or, he absorbed too many powers and in doing so, somehow triggered an internal explosion. After all, if his DNA is altered everytime he absorbs a power, that has to cause some collective damage right?
Oh, and how did Sylar break through the glass and attack Eden? I thought the Haitian was blocking him? |

the haitian guy wasnt there at the time, i guess that they thought he wouldnt be able to get out of there. too bad eden died! she had the best powers 
oh & i like that theory that he overloaded or something. it seems that he has no control over his powers & his brain isnt part of him.
neways awesome episode! i wanna see what happens to hiro when he's with the dinosaur  dont know if i can wait 1 1/2 monthss!

I didn't think of that. I just assumed that Peter is in close contact with Ted, the radioactive guy. I think that if Peter doesn't know what powers he has to control, he can't as when he was fighting Syler. He could have accessed Syler's powers and used them against them but he didn't know what they were and so had to resort to more conventional methods like pushing him off a roof.
But your theory is really compelling. I didn't think about what would happen if Peter was suddenly with all of the heroes and overwhelmed by their powers. |

The Haitian was at Claire's house about to erase her memory...except apparently he CAN speak and he has a different agenda than HRG. HRG is one of those guys that means well but his methods are not justified by the end results. Protecting Claire is teaching her to use her power and to live with it; taking her memory will only make her an easy target for Syler and others.
But what the hell was Eden thinking, going into his room when the Haitian was away. How could she underestimate Syler when she'd seen all he had done. I was just really starting to like Eden. I freeze framed the scene to see what he did exactly...he used his telepathy to pull her head through the glass. But, the big question is this: Is she really dead? We didnt' see the bullet actually go through her head. I know, I'm living in denial but it's one of my favourite places to live.
And she did make the ultimate sacrifice. If she had waited, maybe she could have escaped or the Haitian would have returned in time. Instead, she turned the gun to her own head and blew out her brains to keep Syler from getting her power which would have made him virtually unstoppable. Add to that Claire's power, if he ever gets to her, and he will be unstoppable. |

Yeah, Eden was kinda dumb for going in there, thinking that she could convince Sylar to kill himself. I do think that she pulled the trigger at her own head, knowing that her power of persuasion is one that is incredibly powerful.
About Peter, I'm referring back to Sylar's appearance in his vision and his telling him about knowing nothing about power. I think that Peter probably is incapable of controlling the massive power he possesses when surrounded by all the Heroes, thus overloading on a certain power that then proves to be ultimately destructive. Peter is obviously unable to control the powers that he suddenly absorbs, an example being in the interrogation room with Matt.
And about the Haitian...he scares me.  (I love how these smileys have santa hats!!) |

| I don't think Peter will explode. I think this is a vision more of the overload that causes a transformation in him. Perhaps helps him be able to retain those powers of others rather than losing them? If this were Peter exploding and causing the destruction of a city then I would think that Peter would have to die as a result of it. The writers would have a hard time justifying that in light of future Hiro knowing future Peter. |

| Well, all in all you know Peter will be alright. Remember when future Hiro met him on the subway? One of the first things he said to him was, "You look different without your scar." So. . . .yeah. Explosion or not, I think our hero will be ok. |

| Does anyone else think Peter has some empathic abilities or is it just me? I hope he doesn't get offed. He's one of my favorite characters on the show. |

well, one person that could probably survive the explosion is claire, and if claire was near enough to peter, peter would be able to absorb her powers and not die.. |

Me too. And I agree with Jay that Claire and Peter would probably survive even if it is Peter who goes nuclear. |

| Yeah, I think Peter plays much too large a role in the future for him to be killed in this nuclear explosion, seeing as when future Hiro speaks to him in the subway, there has been quite a change in him, hinting that he is from the distant future. Peter then must have survived for a while after the explosion since the explosion is due in a few weeks, giving him enough time to do whatever it is he does, gaining a scar and all that, before Hiro goes back to warn him. The conception of time is quite confusing in this show, since there are moments of time travel, and the whole lead-up to the explosion occurs in about 5/6 weeks.. |
