Franken,
I never forgot that Adam saved Nathan because that's all Peter could say in response to the 52 people who told him that Adam couldn't be trusted. I think the writers wrote Hiro and Peter to be on opposite sides - Adam killed and saved one of their close family members, but the writers went a bit too far to make them nearly absolute opposites.

I know - that's why I can't believe I forgot it. Maybe the anvil hit me too hard and I got amnesia.
Once someone has been injected with super regenerative blood, why wouldn't it last indefinitely?
The anvils must have hit me just as hard because this never even occurred to me. Somehow I assumed the regenerative event for each of those characters was a one-off.
Hm. Okay. That might work. But then, that would mean Noah has a power now...right after I was swayed to the argument that it would be better for him to just be badass because of his inherent badassedness.
Hm.
How quickly does blood get replaced in the human body? I'd view that as an upper time limit to how long the regenerative powers could last.
If having another hero's blood means you get their power, then everyone is a potential Sylar.

I don't think it works like that. I think it's more that, because the Claire/Adam power is healing/regeneration the power works on whatever system it's in. Whether that grants the blood recipient that power, I don't know, though I suppose a case could be made for it.
On the other hand, if you receive an infusion of, say, Maya blood I don't think you'd get all "I can kill a town with my emo" because the power is not related to that sort of thing.
Does that make sense at all?
Does that make sense at all?
Disturbingly, yes.
It does. It's sort of like a drug for a specific thing...like a diuretic vs. a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Perhaps the infusion heals the existing trauma and that's all.
Does that make sense at all?
Yes, but I doubt the writers have thought it through that thoroughly...
Me, I'm still annoyed by the fact that the blood injection thing works at all in the face of the previously established evidence that the healing power is controlled by their *brain*. It's "Summers blood" all over again.

Yeah, I wasn't all hip on that either. Or, more specifically, I wasn't all hip on Claire's blood also having that power. If it's just Adam, then it's easier to take, somehow, at least for me. And it should be a one-off. And it shouldn't bring people back from the dead.
But that's just my opinion.
