I’m confused. Did Charlie (the waitress) die of an aneurysm or was she killed by Skylar? If it’s the latter, when did it happen? The cops were gone from the diner after Hiro teleported back to the past, and the picture memorial was set up. Did Charlie decide not to go to Japan after all once Hiro dissapeared?
Why was AED grilling Papa Suresh? Was he trying to find out how much Suresh knew before deciding whether or not to off him? (Did the story ever say what killed Papa Suresh? They have his body, or a body. Could he be hidden in AED’s under-the-paper-factory lair instead?)
I have a theory. It appears that Sylar actually does eat brains, or at least somehow absorbs them or their structures into his own to assume the power of the brain’s previous owner. So. Charlie has a brain clot that could burst at any moment. Now Sylar’s apparently absorbed her brain. See where I’m going with this?
How exactly that would tie into New York City blowing up real good I’m not quite sure, but I think Charlie’s gonna reach out from beyond the grave in the form of bursting a vessel in Sylar’s head.
Hm. So… protoEden is a bad, bad girl. And the reason the cop failed the test that second time.
No Nissan Versa. I am sad.
I’m not sure what to think, yet. We see why most things happened… but I wonder what that computer’s going to look like when it boots. Second time we’ve seen it.
So it’s apparent to me that Sylar acquires the powers of those he has killed. Perhaps he killed his father to become a watchmaker, but we definitely see him kill the telekinesis guy and later display telekinesis. Who else has he killed? Is there a tally somewhere?
He’s killed other people, but we don’t know what powers they had.
Isn’t there a theory that Sylar killed Papa Suresh? It wasn’t Mr. Bennett. What IS the nature of his job anyway?
If Sylar can sense how the brains of other supers work (and apparently absorb the part that gives them power) why didn’t he go after Hiro in the diner? Does he have to be aware of their presence first?
I wouldn’t mind Telacop dying, but I have a bad feeling they’re going to off someone that will make more of an impact.
Add me to the “Eh, they can off Telepa-cop” list. Then again, I’ve been asking DeathLlama for weeks when Ando is going to bite it. Technically Ando isn’t a hero, but I smell a Goose-like, kill-the-buddy plot a-comin’.
A very satisfying episode. My thoughts on Charlie: I’m under the impression she still died at Sylar’s hand (er, so to speak). When they kissed, Hiro was shot off to Japan–“Hiro? He disappeared from her life weeks ago.” He wasn’t there on the day she was killed, and so, Sylar got to wreak cranial havoc without Hiro’s presence. And in another time-bending-brain-hurting-twist, Hiro may have saved himself by not being in the diner as Sylar would not know he was there. Or something. (Heck, this means Hiro wasn’t there the day she was killed, which means he wasn’t there to meet her to know he needed to go back in time and save her…)
We don’t need nicknames for anyone. If you don’t want to use a nickname then don’t, but for the love of god can we not have yet another trainwreck about the frickin’ nicknames?
That would sit well with his apparent native powers.
The revelation about Niki wasn’t particularly surprising after the previews from last week (speaking of, I think I missed the previews of next week’s episode…probably for the best), but it was interesting to see it spelled out.
Sanjog showed Papa Suresh’s death to Mohinder. Sylar did it - they showed the broken watch prominently, just as they did just before he took Charlie, and probably at other times, too.
I’m going with the latter. He’s able to observe complex timepieces and see how they work, and in the same manner he’s able to look at the abnormalities in his victims’ brains and learn how to do their powers. Scientifically ridiculous I know, but hey.
In some weird twist, time itself ripped Hiro back to the present the moment he realized he couldn’t save Charlie, nor change the past.
Charlie knew she couldn’t really let on she already knew Hiro when he shows up at the diner the first time. She’s a hero by allowing herself to be killed, on schedule.
I don’t understand what Telepacop meant when he said he could only read half the words backwards? Is it one of his inherent flaws or the result of the run-in w/ the ProtoEden?
A lot of things make sense now, particularly why saving the cheerleader was important.
I am guessing that Time-Traveling Hiro was shot back to the present because the (then) present day Hiro began to develop his power at the office, negating the control of his own powers.
