When, oh, when will Hiro learn to fucking cut. off. Sylar's. head!!!1!!1
Exactly! Do they expect us to believe Hiro never watched Buffy?
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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

How come Peter could pick up Niki's power five seconds after he met her, but he couldn't fly himself away?
He... can only use one power at a time, and he was stuck on nuke? Or, or... he was so busy concentrating on trying not to explode that he couldn't make anything else work.
I dunno.
Hmm. Can they use more than a single power at once, those two?
ETA: Wow. Massive one-power-at-a-time X-post.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
How come Peter could pick up Niki's power five seconds after he met her, but he couldn't fly himself away?
Doh! I totally missed that one. I was so busy going "Wow, I wasn't expecting the Peter/Sylar showdown to be quite so physical" that it didn't even occur to me that he was beating Sylar up with Niki's super strength.
That said, have we seen Peter use two powers at once yet? Even if he can, I think the big problem was that Ted's power was overwhelming everything else.
ETA: Hee! Massive "Can he use more than one power at a time"? x-post.

So, is there a record for crossposts?

Sylar seems to be able to do two at once, he made that snow storm for his mother. That looked like it took the freezing ability and the telekinesis to do it. You would think Peter would be able to use more than one at a time, but maybe that's why Sylar's crazy, using two at once sucks the sanity out.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Sylar gains control of his abilities a lot faster than Peter does -- probably because his base ability is to understand how things work.

Heh, Kalshane, we had an ETA X-post X-post. Excellent.

I don't think we've seen Peter using two powers at one time.
When Peter and Claude were ambushed by Bennet and the Haitian, didn't Peter fly while invisible?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Didn't Peter fly invisibly at one point? Though Nathan's was the first power he mimicked, and he seemed to have better control of it than most.
I'm betting on the concentration required to hold back the explosion knocking out his control of all his other powers.
edit: and the x-posting continues.

It's so nice to have a show that can make me cry.
I meant to say - couldn't agree more.
