Nevermind, I'm very stupid.

Cindy, I think you're missing something. Sylar met with Claire during the episode, killed her and took her powers.

Oh Tom, that's right. I completely forgot that.

Future Sylar has Claire's regenerative powers in the FUTURE fight with Future Peter because he JUST KILLED CLAIRE. How could you forget that reveal?

Poor Claire. She should'a run away. Eloping is always the right answer. Poor Andy; he'll never know what happened to her.

I totally did not see the Profit!Sylar reveal coming. That';s why I love this show. I never see nothin' coming. Surprises me alla time.

But we know now that Future!Peter did save her; it just wasn't enough to stop the blast. So, wherefore the scar?

Maybe he got it before he got Claire’s power, and couldn’t regenerate. Or perhaps he got Claire’s power at a different time.

I was confused about how Sylar had Claire's regenerating powers, since Claire wasn't dead in the future, just brunette and waitressing. That might feel like death to a blonde cheerleader, but still...

He didn’t get them until Claire went to meet her “father”

I remember now. I think I completely blocked it out.

Present!Hiro taking a beating really stressed me out, y'all. I almost stopped watching. I know the episode was fantastic, and I was engaged all the way through, but gah.

So, we haven't discussed the Matrix-yness of Peter. Which just occurred to me. Was it me? Or just the swirling black coat and slow-mo?

The problem with the timeline is that Hiro failed to kill Sylar in the past, before Sylar should have had Claire's powers. I don't see how, according to Hiro's timeline, both Claire and Sylar could be alive (until he killed her) in the future we saw last night. (Even taking into account the fact that Peter, not Sylar, was the one who exploded -- Sylar shouldn't have had Claire's healing powers before last night, and Hiro should have been able to kill him. Maybe Linderman was nearby and healed Sylar for some reason? I don't know.)

I'm thinking "Save the cheerleader" might turn out to be a moot point, when all's said and done. Or saving her might turn out to affect something completely different than what Hiro thinks it should.

I really wanted to see the rest of the Peter/Sylar fight scene. I bet it was awesome.

Oh, and Mohinder is officially the dumbest person ever, if Sylar was fooling him for that long. Maybe he was just too distracted by the unbearable hotness of AP in Profit-mode ("I just want to eliminate the competition" -- GAH) to think straight.

Not just you. Matrix!Peter, mmmmmmmmmm.

When they were breaking Hiro out of jail, I was almost expecting someone to say "Guns. Lots of Guns."
