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.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was confused about how Sylar had Claire's regenerating powers, since Claire wasn't dead in the future, just brunette and waitressing.
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."

oh, not saying that it wasn't hot, it was just . . . matrix-y.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I assumed the two went together...

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.
The impression I got was that everything we've seen in present time had still happened in this 5-years-later-timeline. Now that Hiro has the comic book, he has at least some of the knowledge he needs to really affect things in the present so that the future is changed.

Sylar shouldn't have had Claire's healing powers before last night, and Hiro should have been able to kill him.
We don't know why Hiro didn't kill him. He might not have gotten to New York in time or hesitated when he had a chance to kill Sylar. In the "right" timeline, Sylar appears to be killable.

Not just you. when he first turned up in the black duster of doom I said "He is the one!".
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.)
My theory on that - because Future!Hiro was the one who went back in time and (indirectly) changed the timeline, he is remembering the original timeline in which Sylar did the exploding after killing Claire but lives in timeline B, in which Peter exploded (because the timeline did that thing timeines do when they want to get back to ther original conditions after some meddling time traveller messes with them) and in timeline B Sylar was not stabbed by Hiro for whatever reason. Hiro is now working on bringing about timeline C in which NY does not get blown up.
Or saving her might turn out to affect something completely different than what Hiro thinks it should.
I'm hoping for this one - that saving the cheerleader does save the world, but not for the reason we have been led to believe.
I really wanted to see the rest of the Peter/Sylar fight scene. I bet it was awesome.
Oh dear lord yes.
