The only flaw with that is Claire pretty clearly can't die, as long as the killing object is removed from her brain etc
Er, I meant Sylar will SYLAR her, as in ZZZZZSSSSKKKKK across the head. He's pretty quick at doing it these days it seems.

If she's clever she'll just hold the top of her skull down, lol!
but yeah, he'd have to isolate her to do it propery otherwise Petrizzle won't let it go down

Okay you're gonna have to bear with me because there's something that just doesn't sit right with me
[SPOILER]In the episode set in the future when peter and sylar duke it out, the future portrayed was one when the cheerleader had never been saved, right? This means that Sylar had obtained Claire's healing power and not Peter. So the bomb couldn't have been peter because otherwise he'd be dead. His lack of healing power is evident in his scarred face. But in the fight scene at the end he is fighting with radioactivity. How did he learn that, not to mention control it without killing himself as he can't heal?
Also how did Hiro learn to use a sword in one day? Is he a direct descendant of Kasumoto? What power does his father have, because he insinuated he had one and he did/does work for "the company"...[/SPOILER]
So many questions. I for one hope that they just leave it at this episode and don't shit all over the origional credability a la Lost/X-Men

Wrong, I don't quite know how you can have watched that episode and not seen that Claire is manifestly alive, as evidenced by her repeated appearance in said episode.

Except Peter SAID he was the bomb.

It's true he doesn't seem to have healing in the future but there could be an explanation like he's captured by the Haitian (blocking his healing powers) and scar tissue grows, he gets away but the scar doesn't heal again? It's pretty convoluted I'll grant you but it might happen ;)
What I don't get is your equating needing healing in order to use the radioactivity power. Sylar of the present, as well as Ted himself, show no ill effects from using the ability. Which is what makes me wonder whether going nuclear in NYC will actually kill the person who does so.

Although they never said it, I like to think Hiro slowed down time apart from him and his father and compressed weeks of tutelege into a few hours. I don't care that it didn't happen like that stop arguing with me LA LA LA LA

Do you mean season instead of episode? I disagree anyway, it still has loads of potential for awesomosity. Not to mention that the second season, plus a spin off show are already confirmed. :D

The only way that someone could have survived is if it was Ted and he was killed by Sylar after the bomb (the only way that Sylar could have radioactivity is if Ted is dead). The show doesn't seem quite as coherent as it once was, I guess changing destiny and all that will do it. One thing that really impressed me about the whole set up was that for the first ten or so episodes it was also so tightly written, it was quite easy to follow and at the same time it was fun to try and predict what was coming. It just seems to have gotten a lot sloppier as time went on, and the episode quality got pretty variable at times.

Sorry, could you clarify that opening sentence, it really doesn't make any sense to me :)
ercles on 16/5/2007 at 14:42
I have just tried to clarify that one five different ways and for the life of me I can't, better let it rest until the morning. I forgot about Claire being alive in the future though. I though that future was the one where the cheerleader never got saved (and everything turned out wrong), as such shouldn't she be dead, Sylar proved fairly conclusively that he can kill her.

I think you may be wrong.
So far no one has shown any negative physical effects from using the nuke power, so it may not harm the people possessing that power.
However, a full scale nuclear explosion may be a different matter.
Or it may not.
It's not an established fact, so you can't really say it will kill them with any certainty.

ok ....
i was very disappointed by the season finale...
it was incredibly irresponsible of peter and nathan to detonate in the sky. were they not concerned about the effects of nuclear radiation on the earth? why didn't they just let claire kill him.
fucktards.
and fucktard writers too.
all these good episodes to this show.... i was really expecting the season finale to come to a both profound and dramatic ending. and it brought neither.
:erg:
