Heroes (TV series)/Headscratchers/Hiro and Ando: Difference between revisions

** Sylar had a vision of ''someone'' exploding in New York. He simply assumed it was himself, because just previously he had painted himself stealing Ted's power (the man with the glowing hands). Peter had a vision of ''himself'' exploding, while Sylar merely saw ''someone'' explode in the future and jumped to conclusions. A theme of Season 1 was that you should beware of visions and prophecies, because they never turn out quite as you expected and are prone to misinterpretation (a theme common in Greek legends, too). The writers repeated this pattern in Season 2 with the painting of Bennet {{spoiler|getting shot in the head, and Claire apparently happily embracing someone in the background,}} so Bennet jumped to conclusions and forbade Claire to date West... only it turned out things happened exactly as shown, but events unfolded completely differently than Bennet had thought.

*** Except that - as mentioned above - Future Hiro specifically stabbed Sylar, who healed, and then exploded in the original Dark Future. So there was obviously some point where Sylar POTENTIALLY could have become the bomb.

** Apart from the fact that Claire survives the attack by Sylar, Future Hiro's trip changes the entire course of the present and (eventually) the Future depicted in Five Years Gone with several major details being changed. Without Future Hiro giving Peter the encouragement he needed to go back to Isaac, Peter may well have given up on talking to Mohinder and Isaac at that point. This would - in turn - have kept Peter from being there to pick up the phone calls from Hiro that Isaac was ignoring

*** (Hiro and Isaac probably would have joined up, what with Hiro and Ando trying to get to NYC, but this sped things up a bit)
