Loved, loved last night's episode. But I was wondering why Matt, in the five years he worked for and with Sylar as Nathan never picked up any hint that Nathan was really Sylar. I mean, he picked up the Linderman info from a stray thought running through Evil Eric Robert's head. Was Sylar just that careful all those years? Or does Matt have to be physically in the same space with folks to read minds? Maybe he only talked to Sylar as Nathan by phone?

when I was on the treadmill, that D.L. was dead, if SylAn was reaching through walls to grab at people.

Yes yes yes. I love that. That's the same reaction I had when we found out that Sylar was Nathan. Because he had flown. Which meant he had killed Nathan.

Another thing I realized tonight. The present day is only a few days from the election, which is right before The Bomb. Isaac's last comic will not be printed and distributed in a matter of days. The fact that Hiro was in the future allowed him to get the information from the comic. He likely would not have gotten it otherwise.

Matt seems to have to be fairly nearby to read minds. Also, if he met Sylar as Nathan, maybe it was only in the presence of the Haitian.

I think he paints futures possible. Maybe the most likely future possible. Though I'm trying to think of a painting of his that hasn't come true and drawing a blank.

I thought SylAn (this is a great name!) had said in the future timeline that Issac could paint the future, and that some of his work was spot on. (Paraphrasing, of course.) So perhaps Issac was painting the most likely future, and what we saw was just an abberation?

The present day is only a few days from the election, which is right before The Bomb.

Wait. Are we days before the Presidential election, or the Senatorial election?

I think they paint the future as it stands, but if someone time travels, all bets are off.

I found this article interesting:

Senatorial. But that's the one before The Bomb.

"Heroes", "Lost", and "Jericho" all lost viewers after lengthy hiatuses.

Make sense to me. It is not neccesarily that people "grew cold". But if it was appointent vieweing and then the network cancels the appointment for months, people may forget when it starts again. Heck, if not for the Buffistas, I might have forgotten to watch Heroes.

Senate.

Are we days before the Presidential election, or the Senatorial election?

Neither, actually. He's running for the House.
