[Heroes] I predict...

that Sylar will be defeated by one of two methods, or perhaps a combination
of the two: 1. he absorbed the blood clot along with the waitress' powers,
and 2. the flying guy's brother will dupe Sylar's powers for a final
showdown. Good limitation on Hiro's powers, by the way; I liked the way they
handled it.

HitMan333...

I don't think she had a blood clot in the "real" timeline, I think the whole
point of that was to show that no matter what Hiro did, he couldn't change
the past. He saved her from Sylar, but it just meant she was going to die
another way.

HitMan333...

*shrug*

That was just my take on it, I have no idea if it's right or not.

Angel...

I agree (about Hiro) I always have a problem with time travel and the
paradoxes that insue... the fact that his powers made him unable to
change time and the ultimate destiny set me at ease. I DO however
question why he learned that he can not change the course of history
and still chose to travel back in time to talk to Peter on the subway.

s0183616...

While Hiro cannot change the past, perhaps Peter can.

Michelle Steiner...

Because Peter had already told him that he had done that.

Angel...

true, but Peter told him he did that because he told Peter to tell
him.

...and THAT is why I do not like time travel plot lines.

Ian Galbraith...

Thats just a causality paradox, its a perfectly acceptable device. Read
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers for a great treatment of this sort of
paradox.

George W Harris...

That's not a paradox., it's a causality loop. A
paradox would be an inconsistent causality loop, like
killing your grandfather before he meets your
grandmother.

Angel...

Not that I dont care about the book, I am just to lazy to get THAT
deep into the subject.
