Mikey, that's the official explanation from Kring, yes, with the meta being "Because we wanted Nathan to save the day!"
I just made a deal with amyth that I'll watch Profit if she'll watch Heroes. We've added it to our list of summer projects.
I'm thinking this is a total win/win.
I just got my
Profit
DVDs. I will be watching them after I'm done with
Life on Mars.
Oh, it's total win/win, smonster. I just finished with Profit via Netflix a couple weeks ago.
I also read somewhere else (though I'm sure someone here will come along and prove me wrong shortly) that we've never actually seen Peter use two powers at once. So maybe he can only use one at a time and since he had Ted's turned on, he couldn't fly away.
Yeah, people keep saying that, but I'm pretty sure we've seen him use two at once. Wasn't he telekinesing paint buckets at Isaac
while invisible
?
No, I think he was tripping over them.
Still even if he could use two at once,
he was trying to contain a nuclear explosion.
That's gotta take a bit off ones focus.
Wasn't he telekinesing paint buckets at Isaac while invisible ?
As he was invisible, he could have also been throwing them.
Does Peter now have Sylar's powers? I think he should, given the proximity during the fight. And Hiro's power too.
eta: I think the "can't use two powers at once" or "couldn't use powers while trying to avoid exploding" is a total fanwank. There was nothing in the story to explain why he couldn't fly away. To me, he didn't fly because the writers wanted Nathan to have a change of heart.
He already had Hiro's power, from Future Hiro.
