didn't Bob say he only escaped two weeks ago? How do he and Peter have a history?

I can think of two possibles right off the bat.

1. He's taking advantage of Peter's still spotty memory of the last couple of months. Or he had Peter's help breaking out.

2. He's a power sucker like Peter and can bend time, but doesn't have even Hiro's level of control, such as it is.

I wonder if Kristen Bell's character is Adam's daughter?

I'm really hoping the answers to all these questions don't suck! ::crosses fingers::

I was also surprised that Matt could suddenly trap his dad in a nightmare. I mean, his dad has been doing this for years and he can't get out now?

I was thinking about that.

Maybe it worked because a) part of trapping someone is knowing thier worst fear b) Dad knew Matt couldn't read his mind and normally you get that from the mind reading, but Matt knew from history, and c) Dad knows how to put people in, but not how to get out.

I'd be surprised if Matt's dad is trapped to stay.

You know, for a ruthless organization of torturers and murderers, The Company sure goes out of its way not kill extremely dangerous enemies once they capture them.

Oh me too. All those years watching Batman taught me that much.

Can they kill Adam?

Besides, they've read the evil overlord list of rules. They know the deal.

Not just Adam. Sylar. Matt's Dad.

And Claire could not come back from the dead until the coroner pulled the stick from her brain. So maybe people with regeneration can be killed permanently if it is done throughly enough. (Though it seems like explosions don't count as throughly enough, so maybe not.) Even if Adam could not be killed permanently - stick a dagger through his brain, seal him up in a sphere of reinforced concrete and metal; sink the sphere to the bottom of the ocean, or bury it under 50 feet of dirt; presto. Adam is a problem for future generations - the very distant future.

I could have sworn Bob said something about keeping Maury under heavy sedation. Of course, that didn't necessarily help with Sylar.

(Though it seems like explosions don't count as throughly enough, so maybe not.)

The rule seems to be that as long as you have a working brain, you can regenerate. I could easily see the explosion leaving Adam badly burned/bruised but otherwise mostly intact.

He or Claire could presumably be killed the same way you'd kill a zombie - by destroying the brain.
