My official prediction for who killed Hiro's father.
It's currently way too obvious that Adam did it, hence a twist is needed. His words were "Of all of them I never thought it would be you" (or something like that) implying that it was one of the twelve (was it just me or were there far more than twelve when we got a glimpse of the photo?) Of the twelve we know Peter's mum and dad, Kito, Bob, Adam, Parkman's Dad, Charles, Linderman. So who of them do we know least about, and is least likely to be the killer. Peter's father. they even went out of they're way to make sure even total nerds who paused on the photo couldn't get a good look at him (he was looking sideways) to me that spells fishy and we're going to find out a whole lot about him.
Also this is a completely out there theory but - I think one of the previous gen had powers akin to Storm from X-men. we know that one of the groups major triumphs was stopping a tsunami wiping out Manhattan. And - this is were I'm on very shaky ground based of a possibilities that the channels that broadcast heroes know more than there letting on - last week there was an add for X-men 2 during Heroes:
Hiro isn't the only one who could stop time (shows the wheelchair guy pausing time)
Before the cheerleader someone else was invincible (didn't see this bit)
But none of the hiroes have powers like these...(show wolverine)
...yet (shows storm doing some tornadoes)
As I say this is pure guess work and that second bit of evidence is probably complete horseshit.
As far as the episode that I just saw "four months ago" I liked it, with the exception of DLs death completely random 'hmm some guy just punched me in the kidneys and stole my girl, I'm going to shoot him' add to that the question why couldn't DL phase though it and the fact that the greasy guy appears to be able to telleport (they're walking down stairs away from the club but some how the guy is on a lower step than them when he killed DL nitpicking I know but the continuity person did a shitty job) That and the fact that Peter seems content to leave Katlin in a future which is unlikely to happen thereby erasing her from existence....hey that's a really cool way of getting rid of annoying bad guys, ok I'm going to call that too: Adam gets locked in a non existent future, or gets killed by the virus.
Edit: also another wtf: why did nikki thank bob in the 'today' section. yeah sure she's got control of herself but then there's that little problem that she's got a life threatening (and as far as she knows incurable) virus. yeah thanks for that.
On the whole my faith in this show which was shattered by their horrible abuse of the time/space continuum, not to mention continuity in "five years gone" is slowly being restored.
Question:
Where is Claire's power located?
I feel like it was located in her brain (cause in season 1, she got a stake into her brain and it stopped working until the stake was pulled out), but if it's just in her blood, doesn't that mean that now nathan and mr. bennet would have her blood and thus continue have the regenerative power? Why not inject everyone with her blood and they would live forever.
her power is centered around her entire body shes an RCR (rapid cellular regrowth) but the brain 'gives the orders' to heal, if the brain itself can not heal (ie when the stick was in her head or the glass was in Peter's) then it can't 'give orders' to heal, or to even pump blood. No blood flow = dead. ....although that doesn't answer why she can come back from the dead....
Also, what would happen if (this is a thought experiment thing, and I'm fully aware that it sounds kind of creepy) claire was chopped straight through the middle (through the brain). Would both sides regenerate? Would that create a clone of claire?
that's an interesting question, i think because the brain was badly damaged, and it was separated from its other half she'd stay dead until she was put back together. though that could be wrong - I can see the writers getting desperate for villains and doing that, somehow ending up with one of the Claires being evil.
Also, it's clear that Claire's power causes her brain to regenerate. (when the stake was taken out it healed). What would have happened to when sylar cut her open in the episode in the future from last season? This, i guess, would be answered if I understood Sylar's powers better.
This is my understanding of how Sylars power works, his power is simply to see the imperfection or oddity in things, but rather than trying to fix these genetic 'mistakes' like he did with the "time pieces" he actually stuffs around with his own genetic pattern to give himself that ability the unfortunate part is he actually needs look at the mechanics, (ie study the brain closely). Now I highly doubt that Claire can regrow her entire brain and Sylar tends to take the brains away from the bodies hence body and brain can not just reconnect
Oh, another random thing (dear god this post is getting long) I doubt peter got his telekinesis from Sylar, as its not Sylars own ability. And if Peter did have the power to take Sylar's acquired abilities then he'd have the ultrasonic hearing, and that's not an ability that can be easily ignored (the original owner couldn't turn it on or off, and neither could sylar when Mohinder put the tuning fork next to his ear, hence it seems unlikely that peter could) so that would imply that either Peter's mother or his father or Charles (or Simone, but she never realised it) have/had telekinesis.
