ok, so having been told by my 8th grade english teacher that there are no stupid questions - let me toss this one out there... Just how do you think Sylar 'extracts' the power from the brains of the special people..? are we all thinking the same thing...? a kind of Hannibal Lecter deal or what...?

I thinke he studies the brain...he said that he could always tell how things worked which is why he was good at fixing time pieces. I think he just examines them and gleans just how to get that person's power to work somewhat instinctively.

Matt's nosebleed was from straining to read past the interference that the Haitian seems to keep up around himself & Mr Bennett.
I think Sylar was not able to us his powers to escape before because the Haitian was around to supress his "trigger". It is not Bennett that can throw up that telepathic static. Remember in the police station when Matt was trying to read Claire & her father? The Haitian was right around the corner from the interrogation room. He was the one creating the static.
Eden's sacrifice to prevent Sylar taking her gift was noble. I didn't expect her to be the one to die. Still, I would rather see her go then one of the main characters. I wonder why her power of suggestion did not work on Sylar. Perhaps he already absorbed another gift that prevented Eden's power from working.
How is it that Peter has these visions? That must be a part of his power. I still don't believe that Peter is actually the one who explodes. Remember he had the dream of flying on last week's episode & being in the car accident that led to his sister in law being in the wheelchair. It was Nathan who flew and watched the accident happen, yet Peter dreamed of it. That happened long before any contact with any hero except his brother. So, visions, or precognition, seems to be Peter's gift. He seems to get these visions from the perspective of one person or another, not necessarily his own. I still think it is Radioactive Man that is going to blow.
So, was anyone else interested in how the story is proceeding w/ Niki & her other persona Jessica. Looks like she is turning herself into the cops in order to protect DL & Micca. Still not sure exactly how she is going to work into the bigger storyline, control her "power", or if she will simply become a bad guy.

I don't think Hiro has lost his powers. With the picture that Isaac painted, it implies that he goes into the past at some point in the future (since he hasn't done it as of yet).
As for Peter, it's possible that his vision of the future is a leftover from absorbing Isaac's power. Perhaps Isaac can not only paint the future, but will eventually be able to have visions on his own. And perhaps Peter doing more than temporarily absorbing the abilities of others.

I don't think Hiro has lost his powers either. He failed in his mission and someone he cared about died, his heart was just a little broken is all.
I'm not sure how Peter had those visions either although its certainly a possibilty that he could be the exploding man. If they all try to stop radioactive dude and peter ends up absorbing his power some how and the can't control it....well.....boom. The show has already made it clear once that you can't change the future (Re: Hiro unable to stop the death of....of....that one girl who wasn't around long enough for me to learn her name).

Also note that in last week's episode, when Claire mangled her hand, it didn't heal at first, when her father was around. It was only after he left her presence (at the hospital, after getting the bandage on) that her hand closed up.

I agree. Hiro has not lost his abilities. We see he has them in the future when he travels back to speak to Peter on the subway. I think it more likely that his emotions for Charley caused him to teleport to Japan/present and miss the chance to save her. It could also have something to do with a lack of control & experience with his powers. As Deepgirl pointed out he appears to travel to the past and face a T-Rex at some point with his sword. I am also not certain that his explaination of time keeping him from changing it is accurate. He has already affected the past and future in a couple of instances with his time travel.
As for Peter, I do not think his "visions" are a leftover of his contact with Isaac. Remember that he had his vision of his brother's accident 6 months before even meeting Isaac. More likely this is some manifestation of his own power.

That was six months ago my friend & I don't think it has anything to do with her father. It could be that her marker, or trigger if you prefer, may not have become active until after the injury. She was obviously as shocked as her father when she removed the bandage.

Isn't it possible that Peter is sick because he absorbed powers from Sylar when he grabbed him at the school?
Mr. Bennett told Sylar that he had altered his own DNA so much that it was making him psychotic. Perhaps it's an overload for Peter too.
Might be what's jamming his "visions". Could also be that he's taken on too many from Sylar, Claire and Matt in a short time.
I was more intrigued by the demeanor of all the other Heroes as they watched Peter start to "light up" in his vision. But Nathan kept walking straight towards him. Anybody's thoughts on that?

Nice piece of analysis. I was also thinking some of Peter's illness may be attributed to his contact with Sylar. It is unlikely he could deal with the alterations Sylar has visited upon himself. As to your question perhaps Nathan feels that Peter is his responsiblity and will attempt to fly the both of them away before he goes critical.
