@darkshadow: It makes you think what he actually does do with their brains...
Knowing his ability is to see how things work he could just check it out and then have the ability, but if it's taking their abilities, the victims would lose theirs right? Which means Claire actually would die... Offcourse this hasn't been revealed yet (the ability taking method that is) and all this is just speculation.

[Episode aired last night, so be warned if you have to wait for a download]
Hmm, adventures with Hiro in medieval Japan just got a lot more interesting. At first I got a little disappointed because it seemed like he was going to end up pretending to be Kensei, but I think him being the attendant and Kensei the mostly-willing participant is a lot more interesting.
Wow, Clare is stupid. Who leaves their car unlocked at school? Not to mention lopping off a toe when she's got a stalker who thinks she knows something.
The Peter story got a little more interesting too, though the parts of the preview pertaining to it were really lame.

Oof, missed the episode last night. Forgot it was on while I was playing Gears.
The twins' abilities are intriguing me more and more... I'm not so sure of my personal theory of Maya manipulating sound anymore, not with Alejandro being able to use some kind of reversal effect to nullify her actions.
And I don't know if it's because I'm a girl or what but Nathan's beard is really really annoying. It's the fakest-looking beard ever. It looks like someone glued a raccoon or something onto his chin.
nathan is officially a terrorist. as for maya's abilities, i think they're biological. like, some kind of plague that she can control, and her brother is resistant. Something like that would be an interesting addition to the various powers.
Takezo being able to heal is an interesting twist...though i figured he'd have some sort of power, i didn't think it would be healing.
Since when did Peter have the ability to go through objects or telekinesis for that matter. I don't remember anyone with that ability approaching Peter. Unless of course, he absorbed stuff from Sylar as well.

Telekinesis he stole from Sylar long ago, even before their first fight that nearly got him killed. I believe he picked it up from Sylar when he saved Clare in Texas.
As for the phasing, I don't remember him getting into close contact with D.L. or even knowing that's what he could do, but they were fairly close in the plaza. I think it's a stretch, but he could have gotten it from then.
He had used telekinesis when he fought Sylar and in other occasions. I'm pretty sure he got near D.L. too.
I think its been established now that peter picked up more abilities in the 6 months since his explosion. Its quite possible that he had a few of tehse abilities in season 1 but we never saw them....he was near sylar quite a few times, and we know sylar had more abilities then the 4 or 5 that he exhibited on screen, since he killed a shitload of people.
Well he picked up the invisible part without knowing he did that. So maybe he just have passed someone on the street that had the power. And if they have to use the power when he is close for him to absorb it could have been someone on the street using his powers and Peter could have just passed by without even noticing it. And then later discovers he had absorbed it.
Just because they didn't make any scenes about certain powers doesn't mean he didn't absorb them. Sylar had a bunch of powers that we didn't get to see him take. That doesn't mean he don't have them. And like Assassin said he could just have picked it after his explosion.
And he don't have to have been close to D.L either. Their powers are not unique. Other can have the same power. Just look at Kensei and Clare. They can both heal. Sure they are a few hundreds of years a part. Or Clare's classmate and Nathan. They can both fly. So Peter could just have absorbed it from someone that we haven't seen so far and maybe will never see.
Clare cutting off her own "useless" toe was a bit extreme..... maybe because I was having dinner at the same time. So does Clare really feel pain? She didn't finch much while her hand was being cooked.
And I fully agree on what Honoko said about Nathan's beard.

Claire cutting her toe of was utterly pointless, did she forgot her finger grew freaking back when she put it in the sink garbage disposal thing?
Other then that great ep, season 2 is shaping up badass.
Her fingers didn't actually grow back. They were just horribly mangled and her healing ability corrected the problem. (I happened to see that ep a couple of days ago so that image is still fresh in my head. Mmmm =P)
I don't really agree with that...it just seems really silly to me. I know he loves the story and all, but he's acting like an 8 year old kid. It just seems a little much for me.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
But the common (in time paradox science fiction anyway) use of a character loving some story from the past, only to find out they are that destined historical figure is very overdone. The stuff with Kensei has to happen, and I'd much rather it not be Hiro who has to fulfill all the roles he admired so much.
This way, he get to manipulate the greedy gaijin into doing what he was supposed to do.
It seems Sylar's powers work by just looking at things, and understanding its underlying structure, and apparently he does the same with human brains. What i don't understand is how he changes himself, or are there mechanisms for each ability that he can turn on and off?? Ohhh its all too confusing! Why couldnt he have used his powers for good and become, like a rogue surgeon or something??
I am so happy Heroes is back! There are still lots of mysteries, it seems. I just finished watching this weeks episode, and here are my thoughts.
Claire's flying boyfriend: Creepy before, and remains creepy still. Not as creepy as Sylar, but he ranks up there on the creepiness scale.
Peter's new love interest: Perhaps destined for the same fate as his previous lady friend. They haven't done too much character development with her yet...I'm not convinced they're going to keep her around. He has a nifty new tattoo at least now.
Micah's (grandmother? great-aunt?): Oooh, ooh, new power? Maybe?
Sylar: "Braaaaiiiiins"
As episodes go, this was pretty good. We saw progress on a number of different storylines, and saw some of them start to intersect. I didn't expect Nikki to be sick. The twins' power is still mysterious, but it looks like Maja can invoke it consciously. I wonder if this American guy they broke out of jail will feature in further episodes. So much to look forward to next week!
He doesn't have a nifty tatoo, didn't his regeneration powers erase the tatoo?
Strangely, no...but i was thinking; that's awfully weird that he can have a tattoo, which is nothing but a scar with paint in it :s. I would say he could selectively control his powers, but we've seen he has forgotten how to do that. I guess its just a convenient plot hole...
I just rewatched the scene, the tatoo does disappear.
