Yes that was FH original intent. He thought that Claire was dead in his timeline and that Sylar had her regen ability. He didn't know that HRG had already hidden away Claire. FH was wrong in his assumptions. When CH jumped to the future in Five Years Gone Claire was still alive, just hidden by HRG. It appears that Sylar has a rise-from-the-dead-power that he's already obtained from one of the dead people on The List. He's used it at least twice. Once when the OWI/Primatech technician killed/nearly killed him(we see a cockroach then) and now in the season finale after being run through by Hiro(and we see a cockroach again). This power though isn't instantaneous regen like Claires so leaves him vulnerable to dismemberment or some form of physical restraint while he's "dead". That explains why he would want her power. BUT FH was also right in a way. Saving the Cheerleader did save the world. Sending Peter to meet Claire at Homecoming started changing the future. The original bomb witnessed by CH was during the day. This bomb was a nighttime affair. I standby my Jiminy Cricket theory above. If Claire did not meet Peter she would not have run to NYC to look for him after Company Man, a man who was like her, someone she could trust. She would not have met her father and have been in NYC at the crucial time to be his conscience. She would have been hiding in France under the assumed name Vivian something-from Canada. and Nathan would not have been there to swoop Peter into the sky to harmlessly explode above the city. I too believe that FH did still stab Sylar. I'd need to watch FYG to confirm that though.

1) It isn't preventing Sylar from getting Claire's power. It's keeping Claire alive to be Nathan's conscience(Jiminey Cricket). Without her questioning him, rather harshly, before her swan dive out the window I don't think Nathan would have tried to stop Peter from exploding. 2a) Peter was already having trouble containing his exploding power from....exploding. I don't think he could spare the willpower from exploding to fly away. 2b) That would have such a rip off of the death the DC character Firestorm(nuclear man) it's not funny. 3) George Takei was there(blacksmith store) to see Hiro off on his quest to save Ando and the world.

I was expecting Peter to start radiating like poor dead Ted in Company Man. Then HRG...er...Noah to give Claire a belt of Tranqs to sedate Peter except one wouldn't work so she'd stab him with a handful sending him into a coma but saving the world. Would make the tag "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" more meaningful in a physical way. Though she did act as Nathan's conscience before she dove out the window...

Gotta admit the ending wasn't what I was expecting but made sense. Still I was looking forward to a Sylar vs Peter all out power fight but in the end I wasn't disappointed. Let down, yes but not disappointed. Wasn't going to happen. The Heroes were fighting to prevent the bomb from destroying NYC but they also don't want people to know that they're "special". They'd immediately be hunted down. If that became the case then all the fans would be out screaming that it was an even bigger rip of X-men's Days of Future Past story arc. With regards to powers, none of them are very skilled or powerful, except for possibly Sylar, with their abilities. Future Peter could have done all that you outlined in your scenario but that's in five years. Present Peter has a ton of abilities but he has crap control. He only has access to them when he's getting the tar beat out of him. Lastly funnelling up a nuclear explosion/fallout? That's about the last thing you want to do. All those movies about nuclear fallout tell me this. Ah but the bomb/NYC explosion did happen. Remember when Hiro first saw it? It was in the future and it was daytime. As long as Hiro remembers it it happened because it's what started him off on his journey.

Live blog going on right now with Tim Kring and Hayden Panettierre. http://blog.nbc.com/heroes/

2 hrs to season finale of Heroes.

The occasional anti-(insert Sony/Nintendo) swipe I expect here as I'd expect the same in the Wii and PS3 threads but you guys are straying off topic. Stick to Xbox discussion in this thread.

That's no fun. All Sylar'd have to do is kidnap Mohinder and drain him like a vampire....and let's face it, Mohinder's the world's smartest dumb guy. That's five years into the future. Parkman may have taken night courses by that point.

I don't think Sylar is going to die. Tim Kring likes Zach Q. too much and has reportedly been trying to sign him for Season 2. My guesses for next week. Peter vs Sylar fight. Peter ups/evolves his power so that he absorb/remove someones else's power into himself and depowers Sylar. Peter goes crazy and Claire shoots/tranqs Peter so he's unconcious/coma. Sylar will either be in the hands of The Company or will have escaped but be shown as retaining only his original abilities.

Strange considering I saw the original 3 part mini-series on Buffalo WUTV(now Fox) at 4pm on Sundays before the comic hit any of my comicbook stores. Megatron+Gun= Awesome. Therefore mass shifting FTW.

Nice. Don't really care about new weapons and all that...I just want to finish the fracken story! Stupid cliffhanger ending for Halo 2.....grrrr.

Haven't received my email yet either but that's okay. HLJ does ship out stuff and in my experience they don't charge my CC until they're shipping.

That eBay news was on TFW2005 a few days back. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=131204 Apparently eBay has been deleting the MP 5 auctions during normal business hours daily. This makes sense since there should be a whole lot more MP5 auctions if they weren't.

Picked up a couple of Transformers Movie toys. They're growing on me. 2x Voyager Blackouts. Good god I love this thing. Looks evil and powerful just like a Decepticon should. 1x Voyager Ratchet. Haven't opened it yet. 4x Real Robots. Camera, Video Game, Binoculars, Cell phone. Haven't opened them yet. 2x those real small legends size TF's. Barricade and Jazz. Sweet for their size(Hot wheels). Got the Transformers: Rock Lords(Protoforms) a while back. Primes fun but SS isn't as much fun.

I signed up. Just waiting for the UMD to show up now. As for the Cylinders of Death....didn't find it that hard. Like people say it's all about timing.

WTF? A feel good PS3 story?! A dead PS3?? Sony Customer Service came through?!! OMG it's the apocalypse!!! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150137

Doubtful. I got mine years ago and I think it was the last copy in the store. And my mistake on the VCD. It's just Cantonese and Japanese audio, no Mandarin.

Ah this old song. Love it. I have the DYRL- nton version on VHS somewhere....think I still have the VCD version with both Mandarin and Canton on my DVD shelf....somewhere....

Ummm.....yeah. Some guy has it and Youtubed himself playing with it..... http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/toy-robot-vs%27...ipod-256618.php

Fire vs Ice! Two men enter one man leaves! Too bad all we see is 2 seconds of the actual fight. This is building up to one climatic ending!

Still got my "Lionbot" from...1985 I think? Still in one piece, still shooting eye gouging from across the room missiles, plenty of DIECAST. LOVE the toy. Durable as hell and pretty accurate. Toynami Voltron is more anime accurate but not sure about durability. I really don't like the way Green and Red lion connect to Black. Convoy/Prime? G1 for nostalgia(and my first transforming toy). RiD Prime/Fire Convoy followed by 20th Anni Convoy/Masterpiece Prime.

I'm pretty sure it's in the Graphic Novels on NBC's Heroes site. While they were on 5wks hiatus the graphic novel show HRG sending Hanna off to investigate Linderman and Petrelli.

Is Linderman Mr. Bennett's boss or is he Thompson's boss? Cause HRG obviously knows about Linderman and thinks he's a bad guy from outside his ex-organisation. Thompson = double agent for Linderman?

Peter vs Sylar fight. Worth the wait. Woot! Canada got Heroes an hour eary!

Me neither. I had the cheap plasticky Xabungle and Iron Gear as a kid. Didn't care for Xabungle at all but Iron Gear was tons of fun. Yes. Am I going to give it to you guys? Nooooooo. :lol I forgot that that section was only for registered users. (It's free registration and it's got quite abit of SoC news so you may want to consider getting an account there.)
