Hiro considered the possibility: http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/
(His blog entries are a week behind the episode, and the software sometimes screws them up: the latest entry is The Sword.)
(Huh. Something about how Hiro describes Kensei's "blazing speed that was invisible to the naked eye" makes me wonder if Kensei-san wasn't a Speedster. You know, Hiro's trick from the museum is basically superspeed by a different method [if the Flash had been around, he would've been able to match velocities with time-displaced Hiro].)
Looks like you're right about Sylar being up and about. Any ideas what that thing on the back of his head is?
New comic's up; the second half of "Exploding Man"

Looks like we now know what those needle marks signify. Of course, if Sylar gains access to Mr. Bennet's systems, he might be able to use that data to track everyone Bennet's already found. This could be bad.

I'm not sure, but the thing on sylar's head looked like a shunt, either for adding liqiud (maybe the drug they had him on?) or draining liquid away (testing his brain fluid?).
Anyone else wondering if HRG knows Claire's real bio mom is alive? It seemed a little too easy for Claire to find her. Speaking of HRG, I think he knows that Claire still has her memory now after he saw the wind chimes outside her window. Makes you wonder what he'll do to the Haitian now, huh? Especially since he doesn't seem willing to harm Claire in any way.

He seems to only covet certain abilities, though he might eliminate anyone else who could be a threat. Just imagine if he were able to get his hands on Ted and perfect that ability.
Since he has found a way around whatever treatments they were administering it stands to reason he may be immune the Haitan's power as well(if he wasn't already). If that is the case he may be nearly unstoppable, though he does seem bent on gaining Claire's healing ability. Considering her regenerative power it may be possible for him to examine her brain without killing her. I'm envisioning a scenario where Claire offers herself in exchange for someone in the family.
I like the scenes between Mohinder and Nathan. When he offered to help Peter by studying him Nathan was assuming that their abilities could be simply turned off, which would be of interest to him since he is more concerned with politics than heroics. If the writers chose to go down this path it could lead to something similar to what occured on The 4400 last year. Regular people having abilities awakened through gene therapy.

I'm guessing Claire's ability would be necessary for him to go after Ted. Not so much to use Ted's abilities, but to be able to survive Ted's inevitable self-defense.

Just found a few spoilerific tidbits over at tvguide.com -

Take it for what it is - but Ausiello is usually pretty accurate.
(And though a totally forced line, I loved it when Hiro said "This is how we roll")

Someone on serenitymovie.org suggested that Linderman might be Claire's real father, which I find to be a scary thought.
This leads me to another question, though. Do both parents need to have powers (or have the gene that allows one to have powers) in order to produce a child with abilities? I know it works that way with Nikki, D.L., and Micah, but will it be the same for Claire? And if Linderman is the father, and he does have powers, what will they be? Very pondersome, indeed.

My theory is that her adoptive father Mr. HRG, is her real father.
As for the both parents having powers to produce a powered kid, unlikely since the number of people with powers seems to be increasing rather than decreasing, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that combination produce more powerful abilities.

Yeah. Logically there has to be a point where powers spontaneously manifest, or none of this would be happening.

Yes, it would have to be spontaneous to a certain extent, we seem to be looking at some form of evolution. But at some point it's going to have to take a more genetic turn. And since we're already seeing this in younger generations (i.e., Micah and Claire), I have to wonder what the precedent will be. Do the genes have to be dominant? Or, as my mom suggested, do two recessive genes pair up to produce a dominant trait? The writers seem to be leaning towards a genetic explanation for the abilities, so I wonder if they've thought up any rules for how the powers are produced.

Quote:Possibly, but that would imply that Mrs. Petrelli would have some kind of power, which so far has not been indicated. Although it might be the case that at least one parent would have to have it.

I hope that Linderman is not Claire’s father because that is just too “Luke, I am your father.”
