We didn't see Claude, but he could have been there!
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Peter could survive being ground zero for a nuclear explosion. Surviving the splat from a 50,000 foot fall seems trivial compared to that-especially given TK and flying abilities both to break the fall.
I think the point is more that, working on the theory that he can't use two powers at once, will be be able to use the regenerate power after the big boom power?
Of course, the regeneration is apparently unconscious reflex, but it's a thought.
And in turns out that the power Peter got from his last patient was *prophetic* dreams.
Yeah, but the dream he had when he thought stuff was going to explode wasn't the same as the sort of go-back-in-time kind of setup with Charles. It would be a nice little plot clear up if that was so, but I don't think I'm convinced.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I dunno. The more I think about it, the less satisfying I find the conclusion. Too much of it doesn't make sense, particularly Nathan's rather unnecessary sacrifice. Plus I'll be annoyed when Sylar returns not dead.

I would imagine that dream walking is different after you get time traveling ability. Regardless, it was also pretty clear that Peter's vision of himself exploding was some sort of prophetic vision, because Issac saw the same thing.
And they made it clear that Nathan's sacrifice was needed. We can argue about why, but it is pretty obvious that Peter's powers were out of control and he couldn't fly.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The new comic, a four-parter has potential. It give us backstory on the Haitian.

If you haven't read the two before that, they make the whole "wireless" character pay off.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
BTW -- Got the Nielsen ratings for tomorrow's paper (We're a day off because of the holiday) -- The "Heroes" finale was 8th overall for the week.

There was also the shoot-Peter-in-the-base-of-the-head solution, remember? And if Nathan wanted to spare his daughter from the mental torment of shooting Peter, he could have done that himself. It's not like Claire was the only one who could get near him.
Nope, Nathan's sacrifice was more necessary for plot reasons than for logical ones.
