It says so in comic #30, but it was from Future!Hiro's POV.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Jumping to end again (hard keeping up with y'all with the thesis writing, what can I say):
I remember this headache. I used to call it McFly.
Hee! also, I'm loving this about Heroes: they don't try to get into the time-bendy explanation. They let you think what you want. Star Trek always got into trouble when they tried to explain it and pretend like they were using actual science (@@).
If wanting to keep scarred!badass!Peter is wrong, I don't want to be right.

it was from Future!Hiro's POV.
True, but "I stabbed him before he exploded, but he regenerated" is about as first-hand as you can get. -t's theory is looking even better.

Right. Which is why after they kill Sylar they can bring his alternate future timeline self back any time they want.
"You may have got my timeline assholes, but I traveled in time before its destruction.; I'll create a future you'll like even less."
The logic behind may be complicated, but nothing real complicated is needed in the script. Whether they actually do this or not is all about the Meta. If Sylar is a popular enough villain and the actor is available when they decide they want him, of course they will bring him back.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Okay, just watched my tape.
That was AWESOME.
I have nothing more to say. Oh, except that Future!Hiro is kind of scary and depressing, but Future!Peter is a total hottie badass.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, if they start explaining things that need explaining in the comic, I am going to be pissed. I have no patience for that kind of thing. (Er, not comics, but stories that I'm required to follow in multiple places.)
I've resisted Mohinder-crit up until now (well, except for when he failed to kill Sylar), but I may have yelled at my TV when he snipped the strings. That was just stupid.
It's in perfect character, though. I mean, this is Portentous Monologue guy. Of course he would cut the strings for the big dramatic moment. He's the cut-the-strings-for-the-big-dramatic-moment guy.

I think they've balanced it pretty well, so far. There's a little bit extra in the comic, so it's not a complete waste of time to read it; but there's nothing onscreen that makes no sense if you haven't read the comic, so it's not necessary to read it either.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Man! This episode is like the textbook definition of HSQ. How incredibly awesome.
Someone upthread noted the resemblence of the show to Watchmen and Civil War--all I could think of throughout this episode of futureness was how much they were ripping off CW. I mean, I think it would be difficult to write any kind of superhero/comics related storyline without being affected by CW. But the similarities were so blatant.
Peter is HOTT and badass. And I totally didn't see the Sylar reveal coming, but man, how awesome was that? Poor Claire. The fight at the end was astonishingly cool, and I wish we could have seen more of it instead of just Mohinder struggling comically against the door. I bet Zach and Milo had a lot of fun with that scene.
The only thing about the Hiros I can bring up is a minor point--Future!H didn't know that the cheerleader had been saved, as the surprise he showed when Present!H said it was genuine. So, given that not much other than that had changed, and we can date F!H to five years in the future, shortly after he told Peter on the train to save the cheerleader, it's probable that he isn't aware of (obvious) changes in the timeline because the point F!H was at was basically the same as the one just prior to telling Peter.
God, McFly. What a headache you are!

Oh, good point. But he was right about where to find Peter and his deal with HRG, so the changes couldn't have been too glaring.
I'm really curious about how the paintings fit with the different timelines - do the things Isaac painted always come true or can they be changed? Will Mohinder have to inject the Haitian with something 5 years down the road no matter what?
