I really like this theory. It makes sense (save the cheerleader, save the world).
By saving the cheerleader, Peter dies in the process and in doing so, stops the bomb and thus saves the world. However, Claire's powers saved Peter. This could be the reason why Claire says she's sorry in Peter's dream, because she's sorry she saved him, which continued the path to the destructive bomb in NY. 
Unless he erases the thoughts from Matts brain as Matt reads them. Those erased thoughts could be the static.We know this isn't the case cuz we saw Matt try really hard to read Claire's thoughts, but only got static. The Haitian is like kryptonite.
But if Peter is the bomb/blows up/dies, does this still happen on Nov. 8? If he's dead how does he get the scar that future Hiro talks about?Maybe he get's Ted's radioactive powers, which allows him to withstand the heat of his own explosion, but now has a nasty scar to show for it. In Issac's fireman painting, the figure looks like he reaching out, both embracing and expelling the flame from the explosion. That may be Peter.I really like this theory.

We already know there's an iceman in future episodes that becomes a mentor for Peter. Maybe iceman is the fireman...MOBut if Peter is the bomb/blows up/dies, does this still happen on Nov. 8?

One more point on this.His sickness could be from this, one of two ways a) Heroin withdrawal from Issac or b) Charles Deveaux's sickness (cancer?).
My bad, it's actually an invisible man. See below from the superhiro.org website:Christopher Eccleston's charactor is revealed. He is an invisable man and has had his powers for years!!!Refresh my memory on this part.We already know there's an iceman in future episodes that becomes a mentor for Peter.

Man, I must be half asleep sometimes. I don't remember this line at all.
Believe he's referring to the great Jay and Silent Bob...Also, what if in the dream sequence at the end Nathan was going to his brother to fly him up where the city would be saved. he would of course sacrifice himself, but he sure didn't look too happy when approaching Peter...Mud out
I agree, not sure why people don't think that his power is all about telepathy, i.e. reading minds, removing memories, mind control, etc. I would actually be really surprised if he could just cancel powers. He had no affect on Nathan, who has a non-mental power and they had to have Eden start the subduing of Sylar before the Haitian covered his face and knocked him out.Also, the whole static thing was happening when Matt tried to read Peter's mind and Peter absorbed the mind reading ability at the same time. Matt couldn't read his mind.Unless he erases the thoughts from Matts brain as Matt reads them. Those erased thoughts could be the static.We know this isn't the case cuz we saw Matt try really hard to read Claire's thoughts, but only got static. The Haitian is like kryptonite.
Where have the "writers" explicitly stated this?
When they captured Matt (I think it was him) and HRG told him don't bother trying, your powers are useless with my friend here.
Phewwww. I usually have a real good photographic memory, so when I don't remember something at all, seems like I completely missed something.The Nathan thing is odd, because it seems like in every scene people think he looks like an evil/bad guy. I just think that might be the way he is. He is a politician and it just seems like he always has that look on his face.The definite thing about Nathan was that he was the only hero that went toward him. Claire did, but then ran away. Simone did, but Isaac pulled her back. Maybe it was saying that Nathan isn't evil, but that he will actually try to save him like you said. Regardless of his demeanor, I think Nathan would try to save Peter if it came down to that.
There was a weird feedback kind of sensation for both of them, but then they were each able to read the others' mind. Peter heard FBI chick's thoughts and then heard Matt think "Did he just read her mind?" Matt then appears to read Peter's thoughts before he tells FBI chick "He's telling the truth."
I think this is a valid theory, and may turn out to be correct. But I still think the simple explanation is that he cancels all powers, making him invaluable as Bennett's assistant. And I'm convinced that the static Matt's getting is due to the Haitians power interference and not the process of instantaneous memory erasing after thoughts are read. We'll just have to stay tuned until the show reveals more to be sure.
Matt could read Peter's mind, but the words were jumbled, there wasn't any static like when the Haitian was around. He was hearing his own thoughts because they were being read by Peter. It's like putting an object between 2 facing mirrors; you get infinite images. This caused them both to get headaches.
We know he got telekinesis from the first guy he killed though.
Dont know how you quoted but I did not say this. I did say the first thing you quoted though.
I'd wager that the Haitian can project his power and control who's power he is cancelling. He seems to have had his power for longer amout of time, and can control it better than most of the Heroes that we've met thus far. That would lead me to believe that he can control whose power he's cancelling and not walking around with a "power dampening" force field around him.Sylar basically yanked Eden through the glass gun and then head first. I really doubt he has magnetism powers ala Magneto. It just so happened that the gun was the nearest item between himself and Eden and he smashed her through the glass with it using telekinesis.Mario Kart said:
Again, where is the Magneto, pulling the gun coming from? If he was that powerful, the gun comes out of Eden's hand. No way, it would pull her through the glass just because she is holding it.Anyway, who cares if he pulled the gun or not? We have seen Sylar throw Claire into the wall and make the blonde FBI agent (gotta remember her name) hold a gun to her own head. He also seems to be able to work on people's heads to remove the brains quite easily. Sylar can move any object, it doesn't have to be inorganic, it can be a person. That is the main reason why I think there had to have been a security system on that room because the Haitian and HRG both left the building and visited Claire at her house.
She never had an opportunity to persuade him. I'm pretty sure Sylar smashed her through the window before she could tell/persuade him to kill himself.
Someone also had the good point that she didn't tell him not to hurt her, she just told him that she would put the gun in the slot, he would take it and kill himself. Since she never got a chance to put the gun in the slot, the suggestion never kicked in.
Oh, so she did make a persuasive statement. I think I missed that.
Yes, but she didn't tell him that he didn't want to hurt her like the last time.
Or Peter could have stopped at Taco Bell on his way from the airport to the high school.
Bucky, if you have them all taped, go back to Eden's flashback. Watch the scene where HRG and the Haitian are in the room with her. She uses her persuasion on HRG and it looks like it is about to work and then the Haitian seems to remove it. It is pretty subtle, but to me if HRG had cancellation powers then wouldn't Eden deeper voice not happened and it shouldn't have affected him in the least. Anyway, maybe I am reading more into it, but it sure seemed like the Haitian needed to be there and that HRG was affected by the persuasion at first.By the way, why did he also need to hold a gun towards Nathan and how was Nathan able to fly away right next to both HRG and the Haitian?
Yeah, I remember the glance HRG and the Haitian exchanged. They did the same thing when Matt managed to read his mind during the kidnapping. I'm just not sure it's not a red herring.Nathan's flying I haven't figured out. Perhaps he needs to turn his power on for it to work, or if it's the Haitian that is cancelling powers perhaps it only works on "mental" powers and not "physical" ones.
I absolutely agree that the Haitian may not have an impact on "physical" powers, i.e. telekinesis, flying and probably the radioactive man.Look at the examples we have:Not working-1. Nathan flew away from the Haitian.2. Eden had to persuade Sylar not to hurt her before the Haitian came in and gave him a mental sleeping pill. Remember he had to touch Sylar to do that.Working-1. Prevented Matt from reading his mind in the bar.2. Wiped out quite a few memories.3. Almost completely prevented Matt from reading HRG's mind walking to the car without even knowing Matt was there.4. Prevented Eden's power of persuasion on HRG.There are probably more, but it seems pretty evident to me that the Haitian guy can do almost anything when it comes to mental powers, but doesn't seem to have control over people with more physical powers.**** Also, forgot one other, really, really big point about HRG not having cancellation powers. Matt was able to read minds (not fully, but somewhat) when HRG was standing right beside him when they kidnapped him and when HRG was walking to the car. So HRG was right there and never cancelled Matt's mind reading abilities. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think the Eden/HRG/Haitian meeting was a red herring. Just the way they did that scene and the fact that it seemed like the Haitian needed to be there, made me think that they were purposely showing the Haitian's ability to counteract what would have worked on HRG if the Haitian was not there.

I think it's the week after that.
Quick note. Check the comix. They are introducing a new character. An Israeli named Hana who will be an operative for HRG.
I dunno, I got the Skywalker in the Tree feeling off of that comic.He's so convinced that he's the hero and he's supposed to save the world, but now he's got the doubts that maybe he's not the hero and he's the cause of the explosion.
Nope - not till the 22nd.
