Spoiler / Possible Red Herring

Spoiler thoughts based on aboveShe says Peter dies - This is a diversion tactic. She screws her source if he stays permanently dead. I'm willing to bet he dies but regenerates thanks to Clarie's ability - and he gains he scar which somehow affects his hair (from another article). My guess - Sylar starts to cut his skull off but is stopped before removing his brain.

My other guess is that HRG dies next week (someone close to Claire...).

Excellent predictions

That would bum me out. :(

 

[iamsmilin]

RHG et al assist in uncovering the gift.

I was wondering how RHG's new it would happen "tomorrow night"

Do you mean HRG - horn rimmed glasses???

Sorry, I shouldn't post while working on projects.

 

[DaVinci]

I may have missed something but how did Claire's father know exactly when and where she would be killed?

And since he knew that info couldn't he just relocate her somewhere else? Or setup some elaborate trap to capture Sylar? He acts like she is dead no matter what happens unless the painter can come up with a masterpiece.

They have Isaac's paintings showing her at Homecoming.

Isaac's paintings show her dead. They do NOT mention anything about homecoming. The paintings show her in her cheerleading outift, but she is almsot always wearing that. I was wondering how RHG's new it would happen "tomorrow night"

Not 100% sure how he knew, but in the painting of Hiro & Ando you can see the Homecoming banner that Claire made in the back ground.

And it looks like the banner is splashed with blood.

Good call. That's my opinion also

I assume that because of the you included that it is just your guess and not from any of your "sources", right?

They don't seem very close to each other though. They appear to be more like rivals than friends.My guess would be either her brother or mother.

[Regular Crust Pizza]

Or should I just put a on and not talk any more??

Remember Sylars apartment with pictures and information of the targets. It seems he stalks his victims in advance.

Then Sylar must get around pretty quickly cuz the waitress's powers were pretty new, it seems like she's only had them for a few weeks.And according to IMDB, Sanjog Iyer (the Indian Dream kid) is played by a boy. As I was watching last night, it never occured to me that it was Mohinder's sister based on how the kid looked.

A big part of Mohindar's Dad's research seemed to be actually predicting where/who would have powers. Remember the map? Since Sylar worked with Mo's Dad and even had a much more detailed map in his apartment and is using that to track down his victims.

Then why let one of the most powerful characters(Hiro) live and take the Memory enhanced one?? That is what made me question it. Hiro was alone in the bathroom, yet Sylar decides he wants Memory power over stopping time.. Doesn't make sense to me.

Sylar has a specific target in mind through his research. He doesnt know everyone's powers, but has somehow figured out that some people have powers. He might be able to figure out that Hiro has powers, but obviously didnt know Hiro would be there. I bet if someone pulled up an image of the map from Sylar's apartment, the waitress's pic would be there.

I'm still a few pages back so someone might have covered this already, but maybe he just knows he is looking for a female. He knows that someone with regenerative abilities is a threat to him, but all he knows it that person's gender. That would explain why he attacked the waitress and not Hiro.Could explain why Sylar was going after the little girl after he missed her the first time.

 

[Fiddles]

just watched the episode for the first time caught up on this thread and rewatched certain parts

theres a weird jump cut right before hiro gets up from the table to go to the bathroom

wonder if he needs to be in the bathroom so that he can appear in the restaurant again to save her and not break any time space rules

just talkin out my ###.

It looks like he is looking for people with powers - male or female. Remember the father had his head sliced open and brains gone too. Him going after the cheerleader is not an end to his quest - just part of the journey. I think the waitress was on that board of pictures the apartment along with the flying dude.

 

[stbugs]

Not sure how many they mentioned, but they only pieced together their Sylar theory after finding multiple weird X-Files if you will and that was even before the incident with the little girl. They had already put their profile together before that murder.Is Sylar his real name? Just wondering because the FBI agents called him Sylar, so wondering how they know his name? Just trying to remember when Mohinder listened to the tape, did it specifically mention his name and if so, again how the heck do the FBI agents know his name? Supposedly the main trait of his crimes are that there is no trace.That leads me to another thought, could one of the two women FBI agents is working for HRG, Sylar or Mira's company? Sure seemed like the lead agent wanted to get nuclear guy out of there quickly. Even if Matt is suspended, didn't he read minds in front of her as well as the blonde one? If so, what would be the harm, couldn't it help?

Brings up a good point. Could "Sylar" be a perceived name? don't remember anyone actually knowing it to be Sylar. Maybe the little indian boy is "Sylar". His name is Sangor, Iyer - could be a mispronounced "Sylar". MO

In the episode where they had Mohinder's dad's map there was a newspaper clipping about a Paul Sylar. Birthdate of 1960's.

Thanks, I thought there was. Now that I know there was, my original question is even more intriguing.How in the world did Sylar become the name the FBI Agent's used? Pretty sure they don't know Mohinder's dad since he was just another taxi cab driver that was murdered. Also, they said the only pattern they noticed (hence thinking nuclear guy was Sylar) was people getting killed with no real trace as to how they could have died that way. So if they don't know Mohinder's dad and have no idead who killed those people in odd ways, why do they call him Sylar?Either it is a complete goof on the writers part or one or both of the FBI Agents do know a lot more than they have led us to believe. I would say the brunette just based on how quickly she dragged nuclear boy away. The blonde seems pretty genuine and based on her almost getting shot by herself by Sylar, I don't think she knows anything about his "powers."

 

[stbugs]

Foos responded to an earlier post of mine about why Sylar didn't whack the little girl right away because she was hiding, but any thoughts on my main question regarding the little girl?

Why did Sylar try to kidnap her, when he has just killed everyone else that has powers? Since her dad was frozen stiff without a brain, I think we can assume he was special and thus the little girl was special.

I would hate to think that they just drop that as Sylar sure seems like the type of person that isn't going to just forget his plan. He already went after her a second time.

Who wears this watch? http://img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picfie9.jpg

This is from the death of Mohinder's father. Have we seen this watch before? The person in the back looked like Sylar but is it because the father did not have powers that he was not worthy of getting his head cut in half or what? Does the watch belong to Claire's father? Hard to say.

Is there a screencap of Sylar's watch somewhere in the web? I don't have TiVO. That close-up scene where he sucks the coffe cup into his hand may have shown his watch. Do we know if Sylar killed Shuresh in the cab?

That coffee scene does not show a watch. It shows something but it cannot be identified. No idea if there was ever another capture.

There were two scenes that showed him sitting in the dinner. I am almost positive that you could see the watch clearly in the first one.

The side of "a" watch however the face could not be viewed... hence not conclusive enough. imo

The watch from both scenes (the cab and the diner) showed the watch stopped at 7 minutes to midnight (the name of the episode). It can be concluded that Sylar is the one that killed Shuresh's dad in the cab. it seems that the watch stopped during the beating.

FWIW I just took this screenshot of Sylar's hand in the diner. It looks like the same watch

I assume you are thinking too much on this one. When the FBI found the dead parents they mentioned that they have been tracking the serial killer named Sylar with many victims over dozens of States. (I think this is how it was worded) I dont think how they know his name is significant, since this seems to be an investigation that has been going on for months before the show timeline started. Could be as simple as Sylar was much sloppier when he started killing people, and they tracked his identity that way.

Hard to say. It might not have been a "kidnapping", he might have been trying to kill her too but just didnt have the chance.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem like a place to find transcripts of the show and I am too lazy to rewatch that scene.I don't think that "sloppy" was ever something that the FBI agents ever mentioned. In fact it seemed to be the lack of evidence/doesn't make sense crimes that is what led them to connect them.The reason I see it as important is that if they know the name, how could they have not found the apartment that Mohinder went to? It can't be coincidence that the FBI agents just called him by his real name. Even last night, there sure didn't seem to be a calling card that Sylar left when he killed the girl and the two crime scenes with the little girl that we saw before didn't have them either.Maybe I am reading too much into it, but is still bugging me. We haven't seen enough of the show to see if they are as careful as say Lost, or if we are going to find inconsistencies that they gloss over. Meeting Mohinder's dad and Sylar's sloppiness just don't make sense to me based on what we have seen.Oh well, I will jump off this cliff as it sure isn't central to the story, so I doubt I will ever get an answer anyway.

I don't think so. He had time enough to plant the guy in the wall. As far as I can remember, he seemed to be pulling her out of the door when the FBI lady and Matt came down the hall. Just based on last night, he had plenty of time to kill her if that is what he wanted to do.I can only think of one thing, she is too young to have developed her powers yet and he wanted to study her somehow, although seeing Micah do his thing that might not be the case. I still have a feeling that this storyline will just be dropped and they just didn't want to show a little girl with her head in half. They probably just wanted to introduce us to Sylar and show us some of his mad skillz.

[porkins]

What if Hiro killed the waitress. HE does have a sword in the future. He can essentially "appear and dissapear". What if he went back and found out some disturbing things about her? He didn't look too happy in the picture at the end. What is she was already teamed up with Sylar or was going to be taken by him and Hiro decided the best thing for her was to kill her and set-up Sylar? Hoping the cops would keep him in the diner and discover who he was. That funny little skip might have been future Hiro jumping in to where present Hiro was. Ouch, my head hurts.

Hiro did see in the future how Sylar kills.

I'm probably way off, but just something to discuss.

Check out 9thwonder.comAre they're 9 main characters yet?1) Hiro2) Flying Congressman3) His brother the power sponge4) Gemini Niki5) Nikki's husband the phaser6) Mind reading cop7) Heroin loving painter8) The cheerleaderThe 9th is up in the air still. Mohinder maybe? Nikki's son maybe?

 

[The Duff Man]

Some random thoughts:

How long ago did HRG know about Sylar and that he would be coming after Claire. He made several ominous comments in early episodes leading us to believe he knew something was coming. But when he heard "Save the cheerleader" he acted surprised.

Is there any evidence that Sylar is stealing powers from people? I can't think of another good reason to take their brains, but you never know. I think if he is taking their powers then HRG must not know he is doing it. Otherwise I would think finding Sylar and stopping him would be their top priority, and an ambush at Homecoming would be perfect for them. Did they not know about Sylar until Eden/Mohinder led them to his appt?

I think brunette FBI chick is working with HRG. That is why they wanted to get Cancer guy into custody. Maybe that is how the FBI has the name Sylar. I think blonde FBI chick knows about HRG organization, that is why she said it was "out of her hands".

The exterminator who attacked Mohinder must have been a plant so that Eden could save him and get close to him.

It is going to be interesting to see how they all end up in Texas to save Claire. Last we saw of Peter he was on his way to Vegas to see a painting. Maybe the painting has something that identifies the school or town Claire is in. How to Hiro and his buddy get there, and how do they know they need to go there? Is Nathan coming? The last time he saw HRG he said he was going to kill him. Any chance Matt is tied into the Claire rescue or is he going to continue on his own for a while.

 

[The Duff Man]

I think there is some significance to the computer and the program that was running. If I recall Mohinder woke up from both dreams sitting in front of that computer.

As already mentioned Mohinder might be the dreamer, which is why Peter briefly had the dream power. Were there any details given about the computer program that was running. A theory is that Mohinder's dad figured out a way to unlock people's power. Some kind of hypnosis or something that clicks in their brain from staring at that computer screen when the program is running.Matt and Cancer guy both thought they were stronger in power upon getting back from their abduction. Maybe HRG and his organization are using this program to help the heroes unlock their potential.

Doh, I totally missed this.....makes perfect sense.

You guys notice Hiro's blog?

[The Duff Man]

Further speculation on Sylar. I really don't think he is eating the brains, I think he is studying them. If you buy into the theory that something in the brain is different for the heroes (my last post about the computer program) then he would need to study them to find out what.

He was working with Mohinder's dad at one point. Maybe he has learned some tricks on how to unlock powers by manipulating the brain, but he needs to study the brains of people with powers so that he knows where to start.

I think he had brains in jars at his apartment.

I think the clear positioning of the bowl and spoon when Mohindar went to his apartment was a very clear allusion that he was eating the brains.

It's possible that when he take someone's powers (by eating their brain, damnit!) that he doesn't permanently get their abilities (much like Peter doesn't keep the powers of those he is around). That's why we haven't seen him freeze anybody in his two appearances. This would also drive him to continually be looking for new people because otherwise he will just become a normal person.

I think the clear positioning of the bowl and spoon when Mohindar went to his apartment was a very clear allusion that he was eating the brains.

I took this to mean that he was there recently and/or left in a hurry.

The bowl appeared completely clean and was a deeper bowl - perfect size for a brain.

Both times "sylar" has frozen bodies (kitchen crime scene and cop station) the little girl was there also. Coincedance or something to do with the girl?

FWIW - Whenever Hiro goes into a bathroom, someone dies

I don't think he froze anyone at the cop station. Just pinned him to the ceiling with a folding chair.I think only the girl's dad was frozen (that we saw), or maybe the painter was frozen in Hiro's jump to the future... can't recall.

Nope - cop frozen on the floor of the cop station. And Isaac wasnt frozen - I dont think. Makes you wonder if it is Sylar or the girl with the freezing power.http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/images/photos/hro_1003_001.jpg

This would hold with the powers going away after a time. Little girl's family and cop station were very close in time. Isaac was in the future.

Who wears this watch? http://img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picfie9.jpg

This is from the death of Mohinder's father. Have we seen this watch before? The person in the back looked like Sylar but is it because the father did not have powers that he was not worthy of getting his head cut in half or what? Does the watch belong to Claire's father? Hard to say.

Is there a screencap of Sylar's watch somewhere in the web? I don't have TiVO. That close-up scene where he sucks the coffe cup into his hand may have shown his watch. Do we know if Sylar killed Shuresh in the cab?

That coffee scene does not show a watch. It shows something but it cannot be identified. No idea if there was ever another capture.

There were two scenes that showed him sitting in the dinner. I am almost positive that you could see the watch clearly in the first one.

The side of "a" watch however the face could not be viewed... hence not conclusive enough. imo

The watch from both scenes (the cab and the diner) showed the watch stopped at 7 minutes to midnight (the name of the episode). It can be concluded that Sylar is the one that killed Shuresh's dad in the cab. it seems that the watch stopped during the beating.

FWIW I just took this screenshot of Sylar's hand in the diner. It looks like the same watch

I can't recall if its been mentioned in this thread, but the watch is stopped at 7 minutes til midnight, which was the name of this episode, and the time that Sylar killed Pappa Suresh.

Wouldn't the watch in that picture show 7 minutes 'til noon? It was during the day.

I'm still not convinced based on what we've seen that Eden has the power of persuasion, or any power for that matter. She works for/with Bennet, who's organization studies heroes, but she wasn't able to persuade Mohinder to stay in the US to continue his father's research. Wouldn't it be in her organization's best interest to convince him to stay and work with Bennet and show Mohinder that his father was on to something real and not just chasing a myth like he believes? IIRC Eden kissed him and he still went back to India. I think she was a spy that was keeping tabs on papa Shuresh's research and reporting back to Bennett when a new hero was ID'd on his wall map.

She did tell Bennet that he would be back. She implanted something that will make him return.

The watch wasnt working. Presumably stopped at 7 to midnight when Sylar killed the father in the cab.

Wasn't someone stuck to the ceiling as well?
