The problem I see with this is that Sylar isn't actually the one who blows up NYC in the Five Years Later Future. So, it seems like Hiro could kill Sylar and still have NYC blow up. New future because Sylar won't be around to kill Nathan and commit hero-cide, but sucks to be a New Yorker all the same.
True, but I'm thinking that Hiro telling Nathan how the future was bad and that he was a villain might have an effect on what Nathan does. Perhaps, in the 5 Years Later future, Nathan had a chance to stop Peter, but didn't. Now that he's heard Hiro's warning, he might act differently.
So Peter survived his own explosion?
Yes, In the "original future", Sylar survived his own explosion because he'd taken Claire's power. In the 5 Years Later future, Peter survived his own explosion because
he
now has Claire's power.
Don't scare me about Claremont's death! He hasn't written anything that I've liked in the past 20 years, but he still has a Whedonesque place in my heart!
Too cool that they used him as the swordsmith! Yep, those producers really are geektastic, as if getting Mr. Sulu and Alex the Droog for featured roles wasn't proof enough.

But in both of the previous futures, Hiro wasn't involved, correct? Something kept him from interfering. If he manages to kill Sylar before the explosion, the city could theoretically be saved. (Provided Peter can keep it together...)
I still think it would be pretty cool if the explosion was part of an epic battle between Sylar and Peter and/or someone else. CGI powers battle for the win!
Sylar's Bitches
In retrospect, I could have suggested 'Watching Sylar' as the subtitle. Ah well, by the time we roll over the topic, we'll have moved on to another magnetic villain, I hope.
Thank god for this thread, because I now understand things I didn't even know that I didn't understand before. Time travel hurts.
I think I remember that now, although that's the part that was confusing me last night. It's so hard for me to remember how this show works. I really should stop trying and just go with the flow.
I know. If you come visit and find a bunch of different colored strings all over my living room, understand that it's not a decorating choice.

No matter how artfully he shaves it, Pasdar's facial hair just looks like a Muppet sitting on his face.
The guy who plays Sylar always looks like he's thinking about his dead mommy hidden in the attic. Not finding him hot... except for the infamous truck-flipping scene. Exceptions must be made.
