I admit reading a bit of Peter's spoiler, and while I think that will happen, it seems he could also get the list out of Mohinder's computer still too ...
Oh, you're right! Good catch.

I wonder when that girl who can talk through computers will come back?

I wasn't as impressed by last week's episode as most of you, but the one last night was awesome. The story was great, the 'what if?' characters were cool, and most of my theories were validated. Only what, three left? I hope they're all this strong.

I was a little surprised to find out that the Haitian can, in fact, block all powers. Makes me wonder how that little mechanic works, and if he can turn it on and off.

Also I was sad to be sort of proven wrong about Jessica actually being one of the villians. But yes, this episode was fantastic, and the series is still strong despite getting into a time-travel plot.

I'm not so sure about the idea that Linderman wants Micah to get the list from Mohinder's computer.  I could be wrong, but I would think that Linderman could get that by force.  I think that it's more important to Linderman to use Micah to rig the election somehow in order to make sure that Nathan wins. 

I'm still curious about Nathan and Peter's mother.  Does she have a power that we don't yet know about?  She never seemed surprised by anyone's powers.  Also, her character seems to know more than she's letting on.

Most of all, however, I want to know how Sylar was able to move when Hiro stopped time?

I think Hiro either lost control or his moment of freezing just happened to finish at that moment because Hiro took too long to do what he was trying to do.

I think Hiro's will wavered enough for Sylar to break through it. His power, after all, is being able to "see how things work." And Hiro was definitely hesitant about himself there, which has always messed with his power.

I'm certain Mrs. Petrelli has some kind of power, as did her husband. Every time we learn more about her, we find that she's closer and closer to the people orchestrating everything. We already found out Hiro's father is part of the Company, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that Linderman and Mrs. Petrelli are too. (Have we ever heard her name?)

My biggest fear at this point is that they took 6 weeks off from the show to rewrite the season ending, since it became so popular. If they dont' resolve the Sylar thing I'll be pretty frustrated.

What's bothering me at this point is that there are only two episodes left, and there's no way they're going to wrap this all up satisfactorily--they should have started concluding some of the lesser plots this week, but instead they actually introduced new characters and two new plotlines (Sylar having self-doubt, the little girl who can find people). There was a lot going on, but very little actually happened.

We're confused about Mrs. Petrelli. Before it seemed like the Haitian was working with her AGAINST Linderman, but now she's working with Linderman? So...what exactly was the Haitian's purpose in taking Claire to "safety"?

Did I miss something? When did the Haitian give indications of working with Mrs. Petrelli?

When Claire showed up at her house in New York, the Haitian was there with her. ...Wasn't he?

Okay, yeah, from Wikipedia:
Quote
Claire then goes to Peter Petrelli's apartment in New York, where she meets her biological grandmother Angela Petrelli. Much to Claire's surprise, the Haitian is there, and speaks to Angela in French. He has been secretly working to protect Claire on Angela's orders.

Ah, thanks, I'd forgotten that. Admittedly, hiding her granddaughter from the Company doesn't exactly seem like working against the company. The only thing that seems obvious is that she's got her own agenda.

It does make sense that there would be different factions with different agendas.

Or they know that Claire would try to run away, so they let her think that she did while knowing exactly where she is.

So, will Hiro be able to save his friend? Will our time and effort be for naught as Sylar begins to explode, then the episode ends and we have to wait until next season? Whatsa gonna happen?

Everything's coming towards this big conclusion, but which one are they going to use? And then, once it does end, we'll be speculating over whats going to happen next season! Hooray!

I just don't see how Sylar could be the one that blows. How would he survive it? In the future episode, Claire was still alive, so Sylar didn't take her power to regenerate. So it must be Peter who does it. But why? I doubt he just "loses control," so he must have a good reason. But then if it's Peter, then why is killing Sylar the key to stopping it? Ack!
