I think it would be alarming to the average person to know they were dead and resuscitated from being dead for 10 hours through someone else's blood.
So it probably is Mohinder showing a bedside manner of sorts to tell people "you were nearly dead."
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Yeah, I think "you nearly were" was just something Mohinder said to be kind. Bennett looked really most sincerely dead.
Did HRG saying "I made a deal" give anyone else Lando Calrissian flashbacks?

It made me think "He came back WRONG!!!"

Just the way he walked in the door made me think he came back wrong. I had to double check that Candace wasn't a possibility.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Mohinder/Sylar is a very popular slash pairing in the fandom (with the portmanteau being, god help me, Mylar).
See tag. I love Mylar because it's wrong and twisted and dark. And some down and dirty hate sex? Bring it. But the last thing I ever would want to see is some woobified, twu wuv crap.
The fact that Claire and Adam (and maybe Peter)'s blood can heal people at all annoys me. (Jess speaks for me on this point) The fact that it may be able to bring people back from the dead makes me crazy. I can handwave and say, "Well, maybe Maya was just mostly dead." It's harder for me to swallow that HRG wasn't well and truly dead - if not in that parking lot, surely it would stand to reason that he croaked some time during the 5+ hour flight back to NY and the company's lair. Eh. I don't wanna be all hand wave-y and fanwank-y and it's only the middle of season 2.
I will be pissed if HRG is now powered as a result of the transfusion, or if Maya and Nathan are suddenly invincible.

I assumed they tossed him in the back of the van and hooked him up there and then.

But we saw him wake up on the bed in the room at the company facility (the original "Oh shit!" episode) and next week when they picked up, Mo was giving him the blood and he was going all regenerate-y in the room. It sure didn't look like the back of a van.

Oh no, he woke up in a room, I just assume he was on some sort of support in a van before that.
He got shot, they threw him in the van, took him a nearby lab and blooded him.

Mmm, I don't know. It's still fishy to me. It's not like they could just take him into the nearest Our Lady of Grace. I doubt many hospitals would just lend Mo a room and let him inject someone with the blood they just happened to have in their bag. I mean, I suppose the company could have some kind of facility in California . . . but that's a lot of hand waving. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief b/c I love HRG, but it just feels like a cheat.

What kind of sooper sekrit conspiracy doesn't have outposts all over the place?
I'm assuming the whole thing was a set up. Everyone has seen the painting, fake Noah's death, blah de blah conspiracy cakes.
