Plot hole brought up in someone's LJ:
Why didn't Linderman just heal Molly?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Maybe Linderman's power doesn't work for healing broken powers?

Sorry, chrismg. Just accustomed to fanfic writers being mostly female.

So...much...pretty...
PC, I don't think Linderman can heal heroes with that particular disease.
But...why not? He can make people unparalyzed!
because it is a heroes disease?
(you got me?)
Maybe Linderman can't heal diseases, only injuries. So far, we know he's healed Papa Petrelli (gun shot wound) and Heidi (paralyzed by a car accident). But we've never seen him heal anyone who had cancer, for example, or some other disease. I've only read each comic once, so I might be wrong, but for now that's my hand waving, fanwanking best guess.
Didn't he heal a dying or dead plant?
He did. But plants are different than people. Yeah, that's the ticket.
From an interview with James Kyson Lee:
Do we end up finding out you have a superpower?
Lee: That's the question of the year! I get asked that so many times, and that's a great question for the show's writers. We talk about this all the time. I thought it would be funny if Ando gets a power that's just unique, but random. Like, he can make cheese out of thin air. It'll be like, "Mozzarella!"
Or he could be like a Karaoke Hawk, and when he gets mad he'd turn all blue and start singing 1980s rock songs from Journey with explosions and glass shattering, and everyone would be like, "Stop! We surrender." I mean, who knows? You never know what's going to happen with this show.
