'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm wondering, if the first "super" Peter's actually touched other than his brother is going to affect him more than normal....

sj, I thought it was radiation guy's power that Peter had.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It looked like power overload to me, since I didn't see Radioactive Man in the vision.

Oddly, Peter Petrelli has become one of my favorite characters, despite The Hair, and now I'm all worried about him. Why is he sick?! Even when he was around Claire, he kept coughing and looking all feverish, why wasn't he getting better around her? Did he absorb some illness in addition to healing/mind-reading powers? Was it Sylar that made him sick? Was it overdosing on all those different powers? I would love that, returning the favor for saving her life, indestructable Claire would save his, but her "I'm sorry" takes that hope away. Like Hiro asked, how do you stop a man from exploding?!

Also, as everyone in the vision is running away from him, Nathan steps up and confronts him. ??? Is Nathan the only one who can save/stop him from going nuclear?

???

!!!

Soooooo gooooood!

Two months?

*cries*

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Two months?

I KNOW!!!

No, just 1.5 months. See? Much. better.

I LOVE Peter's hair -- it's perfect comic book hair. There was a scene in the cell where he was in profile and the forelock fell across his face in perfect comic book tufts. Love.

So, the general consensus is that Peter is undergoing overload? So his vision/nightmare at the beginning where Nathan/Sylar tells him he doesn't understand power and the vision at the end where all the Heroes are around him are related to his inability to deal with everyone being there at once?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm wondering, if the first "super" Peter's actually touched other than his brother is going to affect him more than normal....

He's touched them all, Theodosia. I missed when he and Matt made contact, but I'm sure they did. Someone kept track; Isaac touches his shoulder (or the other way around) before he goes and draws the rooftop scene, and he grabs Claire right before he plummets off the school. It's all very Rogue.

So, the general consensus is that Peter is undergoing overload?

Er, this is the first I've heard of it. I've assumed he simply absorbs Radioactive Man's powers and can't control them. Power overload is interesting, although it does make me wonder again about the touching aspect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wonder if he got sick because his body couldn't handle massive healing like Claire's can.

Actually, it's not the style of hair that bothers me so much as the occassional brush of the hand to get it out of his eyes.

The past two eps have had some very awesome comic book scenes:

Ando: "You'll die" Peter (looking classicly over his shoulder): "I know"

Claire: "I'm just the cheerleader"

Can't remember the more recent ones, oddly.

Now, if the theory that he's overloading on too many powers is true, then perhaps the only one that can save him is the Haitian Sensation and his power-smothering ability?

And why does he consider it important for Claire to remember? I can get that he and Mr. Bennet possess the same information, but that Claire's dad is so concerned about protecting his daughter that he's lost sight of the larger picture?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I wonder if he got sick because his body couldn't handle massive healing like Claire's can.

Or did Claire's power wear off before he'd completely healed?
