So is that Sylar-as-Nathan who we see Hiro stabbing in the comic?
It looked like Sylar-as-Sylar to me, but I like that twist if you're right (except for the Nathan being dead part).
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

The only way this episode could have been better is if one of the Hiros had "randomly" referred to someone named Rachel.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
So, wait, if it was always Peter who blew up New York, it won't necessarily change anything if Hiro kills Sylar. Or it will change something, because Sylar won't become Nathan, but it might not change enough.

What did Future!Hiro give Ando at the end?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, this is kinda messed up.
Sounds like Sylar needs to die AND you have to stop Peter from exploding.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It looked like a 9th Wonders comicbook page. Well, it was also bloodstained, but I don't think the latter part was intentional.
I wonder at what point Sylar killed Nathan and took his place. Judging by Sylar and Peter's conversation, it was after the explosion in New York, so yeah, I'm not sure what killing Sylar really changes beyond some of President Petrelli's nastier policies. (Though the message has always been "Save the cheerleader, save the world" and not "Save New York." So maybe the Heroes do everything "right" and New York still blows up. Though I can't really see them going down that route.)
I was also sadly promoless. My DVR cut off right as the promo began.

It will if Peter went nuclear in response to Sylar, that it was the only way to kill him. But, if Hiro kills Sylar, then Peter never has to nuke Sylar/NYC.

Right. They have to stop both.

Wait, I think I have this: it's in the vision Peter had, where he's about to blow up and everybody is fleeing him,
except for Nathan.
He's walking up close, presumably to fly him away to the moon, and there's some line about their deep, abiding brotherly love.
If Sylar replaces Nathan before that point, well, clearly Sylar (a) does not give a shit about Peter and (b) would be very happy to be elected president on a wave of paranoia, as the paintings predict. So he (as Nathan) doesn't arrive to put Peter on the moon, so Peter blows up New York (clearly his blowupping is not a danger to himself) and Bob is everybody's uncle!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Very interesting theory, Nutty. It makes sense. Have we seen Sylar kill someone with the ability to look like another person yet, or is that a power he still has to acquire?
