Last night's Heroes

OK, a few points.

- It looks like Future Peter doesn't have the Haitian's ability to block others' powers -- I guess the Haitian blocked his ability to do that.

- Also, the President has never met the Haitian, I guess, since if he lost his shapeshifting ability that would be pretty obvious to everyone. (Or would he just get stuck in his current 'shape'?

- Although he has met Parkman enough times that perhaps the guy who can read minds might have picked up who he really was? It's not like Future Parkman is a paragon of ethical behavior or anything.

- Apparently blowing up an entire city doesn't kill you. Or maybe that's only true if you have the ability to regenerate.

- Hey, Future Mohinder did something useful! How about that?

- Another dead female hero. To be fair, some dead male heroes too. To be even more fair, I would have to say that Stripper Future Nikki is not a big argument in favor of this show's enlightened treatment of women.

Throw-away episode

Since this was a future timeline that won't exist if Hiro kills Sylar, everything is moot.

Since this is a work of fiction that didn't really happen, it has no relevance.

Since we're all destined for the grave, nothing has any relevance.

It is because we're all destined for the grave that everything has relevance.

Actually, I guess Future Parkman could be complicit with the President; maybe that's what we're supposed to deduce.

Future Peter looks like Neo from the Matrix!

I'm glad Mohinder finally did something useful.

Maybe the radioactive guy exploded? (I just can't believe that Peter would explode then regenerate his entire self with only a scar across his face. Do they want us to believe that?)

What does the little girl do? Maybe a power similar to the Haitian's?

I'm guessing that Sylar killed Nathan Petrelli long ago, maybe around the time when he got elected president. There was mention last night about that day (he got elected) being a turning point. I wonder if that is the point Hiro must return to?
