So, I'm confused about the timeline in Issac's apartment. Did he give the comic book guy the instructions to do that in the final Hiro comic and the sketch book he made?

The time flip around threw me for a loop on that one (why did Hiro say the brain man was caught, so maybe Issac was alive??) I'm assuming Issac had to have given that guy all the info since he told Sylar that he told everyone how to defeat him.

Or was that clear and I just didn't get it?
I don't think Hiro knows yet that Sylar escaped from where Mr. Bennett works (can't think of the name of it), so it's reasonable to think that Hiro thinks that things turned out differently.

The timeline in Isaac's apt. was done by "future" Hiro...

We don't know what Isaac gave to the messenger guy, but it has to be how to defeat Sylar.

I can't wait to find out how they tie all that stuff up. It's pretty cool that they are going with the "past and future selves can interact" angle since so many other shows/books with time themes treat that as impossible.

Primatech Papers is the name of the business.

Donald I think a lot of us were confused. Hence Ando's expression after Hiro's dialogue.

It'll be further explained next week I hope.

It threw me for a loop too.

It'll be interesting to see who left the timeline in the apartment, since we were led to believe Isaac is dead.

Read "The Man Who Folded Himself" if you want a good book about time travelling and how one man interacted with himself on many levels.

That's the name of the "cover" business. I meant the name of the actual agency...but is it just referred to as "the company"? I dunno. Have to rewatch the older episodes.

I don't wanna go to far off topic..

But let's just say during this time travels he changes the course of history, which creates alternate versions of himself.

They meet regularly at a certain place and time.

Old man versions of himself.

Child versions.

Woman versions. And yes they "interact".

--------------------------------------------------

Linderbee, I'm not sure that they ever referred to it as anything but the company.

Interesting that Eric Roberts isn't the boss and that Mr. Bennett was at the bottom of the totem pole though.

I think it's pretty certain that Hiro's dad is Eric Roberts' boss.

Great episode! Such a good show. At least a couple of times things happened that made me exclaim 'damn!' out loud.

Agreed was almost too much in one ep - watched online (able to pause and rewind is good). Definitely ends on a down note - between the one character event and the future view. Sylar is one sick ****.

Next week's episode looks great, though. I love possible, but not confirmed, future visions for shows like this one. Everyone gets to play against expectations and type for a bit.

So, with the growing introduction of multi-generational Heroes - and their family connections - who is related to Linderman?

Did you guys notice the look on the Petrelli brothers faces right after their mother says that she knew before they did (about their powers)? I watched it again after that. The look on their faces suggested that their mother just showed them her power (off camera). The look was like what the heck?!?!?!? Also, it sounds like good old mom was part of a team a la the XMEN once upon a time. Good stuff.

Also, was anybody else a little let down by the Sylar/Peter show down? I wanted a little more backside kicking. It did clearly show though that despite Peter's abilities, he clearly lacks the confidence to use em. Until he does Sylar can kick him to the curb.

Yes--I was very let down by that confrontation. We know he can use multiple powers at once--so why didn't he kick Sylar's ass while he was invisible (like he did to Isaac)?

I just wonder if Peter can now do everything Sylar can do since Peter's been in contact w/him...that would make Peter dang near invincible.

What a great episode.

Still trying to wrap my mind around the whole time travel and possible/alternate futures thing.

I just realized we now know what Issac meant when he said he showed them how to kill Sylar.


Only 3 episodes left in the season. I hope they are as good as tonight"s.
