A whole lotta things from 5 Years Later are coming to pass. I meant to note the explicit lack of Linderman references in that episode, and it looks like we may now know why. And, sadly, it looks like D.L.'s fate will be the same whatever happens next.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

DL can't be dead, otherwise how will Sylar get his power from him? In the 5 year future episode, Nathan/Sylar could reach through walls. I'm assuming he got the power from DL. At this point, we have no reason to believe what we saw for the future isn't going to happen as long as Sylar is left alive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In the truck scene, I finally found Sylar hot. Out, damned hot!
It is really too bad that Peter didn't get to meet Linderman before he died. Now that very useful healing power is totally gone.
I'm worried about everyone now. No one is safe!

Oh, Heroes. Why must you embrace the cliche along with the awesome? (Not that there wasn't plenty of awesome to go around.)
I was thinking about Hiro and his father, and how he seemed to want to teach Hiro that to kill the enemy, you must destroy your heart, and cut out your emotional attachments(Gee, isn't that what Claude turned out to be wrong about in teaching Peter?) But why would Hiro like a story like that so much? And it struck me that, looked at from another angle, it's a story about sacrificing your life to protect someone you love(eyes Hiro nervously).
And HOLY SHIT, I saw that shot of Peter facing Sylar and suddenly I think I know what's coming. Would anyone mind a speculative ficlet?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
it's a story about sacrificing your life to protect someone you love
That's how I took it and that's totally in Hiro's character to do.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My ex and I play a game called Props. Whenever we see something on a tv show that one of us owns, we yell out "Prop!" This mutated into Crossover Prop, pointing out props that have appeared in other shows.
In short, the dragon in the sword repair shop is the same as the dragon in Harry Dresden's office.

The only cliche that irritated me was the "learn to be a swordsman in a few hours through a dramatic montage."

All is well that ends in pizza.
The only cliche that irritated me was the "learn to be a swordsman in a few hours through a dramatic montage."
I would have liked to have had them say something like Hiro got basic training as a child, or that he has the training built in, all they have to do is bring it to the surface, or something...
maybe that's the implication of all the stories. I dunno
Still? Rockin' ep.
