If you click on the pages of the comic itself (not the Nissan ad), and provided there is actually a hidden picture, it will pop up.

And make sure you are viewing the comic online. If you downloand the PDF versions and view those, there are no hidden links.

I’m not sure where anyone’s getting the idea that Sylar’s powers were dampened by anything while he was in the cell away from the Haitian. No one said anything to that effect that I can recall.
[/quote]
Well then why put him in that cell at all? Why not have him in the same room that Eden was brought into, as long as the Haitian can disable him?
That’s what confused me. Her witchery worked on him once but not a second time…
…which this explains, I guess. That’s as good as my theory anyway. I’m starting to think we’re putting more thought into this particular plot point than they did.

In the woods, he was still pretty busted up from his fall.

Also, I imagine he did not expect to see anyone in the woods and when he ran into Eden, he may not have known she had any powers or what they were.
[QUOTE=Lissa]
I don’t know that he could actually be that selective. Every time he’s wiped a memory, he’s taken out a complete time period, not just specific incidents. (When he wiped Zach’s mind, he took away all memories of their renewed friendship, not just his knowledge of Claire’s powers.)
[/QUOTE]
I’m pretty sure he can be fairly precise in what he wipes if he wants to. He took Claire’s brother’s memories of discovering Claire’s powers which would go back a little while, but he still remembered practice that day. Just not how he got home.
He block-erased a whole day from Matt’s mind, yet curiously enough, left the memory of himself being the last thing Matt remembers from the bar. Sneaky Haitian.
I’m not sure why he erased Zach’s memories of Claire so far back, but it would appear Zach remembers everything else he’s done since sixth grade. Zach’s going to figure out something’s up when he’s sitting around with his nerd friends and the subject of his having campaigned for Claire’s Homecoming Queen election comes up. “I did what, for Claire??”
I wonder what interesting things Haitian has learned from picking through people’s brains all these years? Kinda makes sense now why he chooses not to talk. He can keep a lot of that information to himself, assuming AED doesn’t require detailed typewritten reports.
[QUOTE=kurilla]
4) Peter apparently has two separate powers – spotty precognition (i.e., dreams and visions) and power mimicry. Aside from Sylar, is he the only one with two powers?
[/QUOTE]
In a way Nathan must have a kind of bullet-proofness in order to fly at supersonic speeds.
So why is it every time a telepath concentrates really hard they get a nosebleed? What’s that supposed to mean? Doesn’t seem very healthy.
One thing I’m not clear on. Did Sylar break the glass and then pull Eden though it? Seems like if that were bullet-proof glass pulling Eden through it hard enough to shatter it would have killed her instantly, wouldn’t it?

I wonder if her power even worked on Sylar that first time. haitian seems to give off an interference field all the time and I’m guessing it was Sylar realizing his TK wasn’t working which caused him to drop his hand, not Eden’s witchery.
[QUOTE=RikWriter]
Then you should have ASKED where I got it rather than posting it out in the open first. You screwed up so don’t try to blame someone else for it. The source was spoilerfix.com.
[/QUOTE]
Maybe you should read a little closer. I did not post it out in the open or in spoiler boxes. I didn’t post it at all. I was merely commenting on your snippy reply to Otto. I didn’t screw up and neither did he. You posted something that appeared to be purely conjecture. Sure you put it in a spoiler box but there was nothing to indicate that you had any real information. Spoiler boxes are over used, a little warning in the clear works much better. Otherwise how would anyone know that they shouldn’t look at the spoiler box. There is a difference between:
I think Peter is going to hook up with Niki!!!
and
The producer was drunk and blurted out to TVguide that everyone dies in the last episode.
It’s just not possible to tell the difference without reading it, which defeats the purpose.
And again, beyond my pet peeve about how the spoilers are used by everyone, the way you wrote it seemed like pure speculation. There was no way for Otto or anyone to know different.
[QUOTE=kurilla]
(4) If Nathan does fly the radioactive exploding person (whoever it turns out to be) out to sea, I suspect he’ll survive the action so he can win in a landslide. It would be nicely ironic if this man who apparently despises the thought of superpowers wins only because of them.
[/QUOTE]
The problem with this is that when Hiro traveled to New York in the future he saw the newspaper headline that Nathan had won. The explosion came after that.

[/QUOTE]
I don’t think it was explicitly mention in the show, but what else would account for Sylar still be in the cell?
Sylar also knew what Eden’s power was by this time and maybe was braced for it enough to be able to resist long enough to do something.
But why the hell was that glass window actual glass? Shouldn’t it have been bulletproof and unbreakable?
Re: Niki
There has to be more than just DID going on because back when she killed the guys in the garage she was wearing the same clothes as before and she had no blood on her but her mirror image (Jessica) was covered in blood. I suppose they could just be playing with us and that was all in her mind but there is also the matter of the disappearing tatoo. Perhaps Jessica was her twin and has the power to separate out her soul or essence and live inside another person (like many originally conjectured that DL was able to do) and Niki has the super strength. So when Jessica’s body died she did have to live inside Niki. Because Jessica can take over control of Niki’s body she can also control Niki’s powers.
I had another wild theory about Peter but I already forgot it.

… and people just idly chatting with him, given what they know about his powers…
Hey, free health care. They patched him up and give him a place to crash while he healed up. Without any police interaction, which would have interfered with his plans. This way, he knows they’re going to parade superheroes past him 24/7, kind of like when they bring the dessert tray by in a fancy restaurant.

Have we gotten an indication of just how strong his TK is? If it is line of sight and not strong enough to get through metal, how would he otherwise get out (assuming he’s been dampened every time AED is present)?

You’re forgetting that the Haitian went traveling with AED during the police interview with his daughter and while Syler was back at the security compound. There has to be some way of restraining Skyler while he’s away.

That was my original theory (Post #136). I was responding to Otto’s modified theory. (Post #140)
I see a lot of hostility in this thread (does that mean the terrorists won?) and was hoping we could all get along. If I dare make a suggestion:
Otto: Since you seem to be the weekly thread starter and one of the most active posters in the threads about the show, couldn’t you set up some rules, like we have in the LOST and BSG threads?
Oh, and Otto, some free advice: YOU can easily build a DVR/PVR into your computer and have full controll. Get a tv card and it will be smooth and sweet.
I do hope Tim Kring has been following the development of LOST and know that he shouldn’t try to string us along, now that he’s got a hit show going. Deliver on the mysteries and create new adventures, don’t drag it out.

[/QUOTE]
During his first discussion with Sylar and Sylar began to move towards him AED said “oh, no. No, you’ll find your abilities won’t work. Not here. You’re not going anywhere.”
It’s AED’s standard technique with uncooperative super-types. Convince them they can’t use their powers at the facility but don’t let them know it’s Haitian. After a few attempts at using their powers they believe AED and it becomes safer to deal with them even if Haitian isn’t there all the time. It’s the same technique he used with Eden initially.

I hadn’t even thought of that but now that I am, I like the idea. I can’t think of anyone more deserving on TV right now.
As for the speculation about a force field or something that stopped Sylar. I don’t think so. As with everything else that has happened, the least unlikely scenerio is the truth. Every wild speculation so far has been off. This isn’t a very twisty show, it’s pretty straight forward. Sylar did kill Charlie, it wasn’t an anuerism. D.L. did not phase as soon as the bullet hit him. He was shot but Jessica is a bad shot. In this case I think the explaination is just as simple. There was no forcefield or anything else holding him in. They just underestimated how strong he is. Up to the point that Eden screws up a combination of Eden, the Haitian and his injuries have kept him inside(maybe they drugged him too). He has recovered enough to fight back now. Just my theory.
RE Brody
IIRC He didn’t remember his own name. Which seemed to imply that the Haitian had taken ALL of his memories. He still has learned skills (including speech) but no memories of anything before waking up in the hospital.
I vote for Lost style rules:
Everything, including this weeks episode and next weeks preview is open (not in spoiler boxes)
Advance information (TV guide, Entertainment weekly, etc) should be put in spoiler boxes
Speculation that doesn’t rely on spoilers is open.
Speculation based on spoilers should be put in spoiler boxes.
Is the comic book considered spoiler material?

That’s what threw me. It seems unnecessarily cruel to delete the entire friendship. Why would AED have that taken away from her when he has to know how much Zach means to Claire. (He’s been over at the house many times and he was supposedly the only person with whom Claire shared her secret.) Seems like if the Hatian could be selective, AED would just say, “Take out everything about her powers, but don’t take away their friendship.”

Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan on Showtime’s Dexter. Imparts more characterization with a curl of his lower lip than Hiro has in the entire season.
