I'd totally LOVE it if it turns out something dragged Sylar off, rather than him being invulnerable or something. I don't think he has healing powers, but I seem to remember he's taken more than a few bullets and been OK later. Didn't HRG Noah get him point blank at the Bennett house?

Well, Molly DID say the boogy man was "right here" didn't she?

Isn't DL still a wanted man? How are they going to fix that without Linderman to "fix" it?

No, charges against both Nikki and DL have already been dropped.

She repeated referred to Sylar as the Boogy Man. The (presumably) S2 Big Bad is something worse.

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?

Or Highlander.

Now I'm getting a Peter/Sylar showdown idea.

Peter: "There can be only one."

Sylar: I can't believe you said that. So, where's your sword?

Peter uses finger to slice Syler's head off.

Peter: Don't need one, thanks to you.

Blows his finger like a pistol.

Still want the sylar/Peter showdown like they had off screen in "the future."

She repeated referred to Sylar as the Boogy Man. The (presumably) S2 Big Bad is something worse.

Right! And she wouldn't think about him.

Next year poor little tyke is going to have to, isn't she?

reading that wiki has me thinking. it's possible Sylar opened up that cockroach in his cell and "saw how it worked". so can Sylar now live without a head now that he's seen how it works? *shudder*

I think that Nathan flew as far as he could tossed Peter and got away and that Peter is also good.

I need my Petrelli's.

I'm very curious about the guy who could tell that Molly was looking at him.

Also - this from the Yahoo recap made me smile:

You saved the cheerleader so we could save the world," flying congressman Nathan Petrelli told his blazing brother before sacrificing himself to hoist Peter up, up and away to safely explode somewhere among the stars.

Since that's not a brain-generated alteration of biology, chemistry, or whatever, I'm doubtful. It's roaches' bodies that can go on living.

Sylar's good enough with telekinesis I can see him keeping his own heart pumping and holding the blood in after the initial gush from Hiro withdrawing his katana. But he'd have to get patched up pronto, no way could he stay concious until natural healing got him out of the woods.

(Although, if he can heal from exploding in atmo you'd think a bullet wound wouldn't be too troublesome, so... I don't know.)

I don't know if I'm just blanking on something, but does the nuclear explosion have to destroy the vessel? Maybe it was just energy that could be dissipated.

That's the big question. We know Ted wasn't normally harmed by his own power, and he was theoretically unburned after torching the Bennett house. But what we've seen of Peter blowing up on the ground involved a nuclear-level explosion, and we have no idea if Ted himself could have survived that big an overload. Also, the energy from that explosion had to be coming from somewhere, and I'm assuming it's conversion of some of Peter's body mass into energy—which might be lethal if it's randomly diffused rather than just burning excess fat or somesuch. Do any science-y types know how much mass is used up by, say, a 1 megaton explosion?

edited to add: Ah, about 46 grams, which could either be irrelevant if taken from specific unused portions of the body, or could have serious fuck-you-up consequences if removed evenly from all the body's cells.
