Heroes

....was very cool

(except I totally don't buy Peter/Nikki no matter WHAT happened. Eeeeew. I know he's got that "white knight" thing and probably wanted to "save her, but again with the eeeeew.)

Poor future-Hiro all obsessy and stuff. And young-Hiro is all "now I know what I must do". Except......

He's relying on faulty data.

The whole "save the cheerleader save the world" and "you have to kill Sylar" only makes sense if Sylar went all 'splody. But he didn't. Peter did. AND Nathan got killded somewhere that wasn't accounted for in the causative-string-theory.

So they only THINK they know what they need to do - and it's WRONG!

Time-travel plotlines make my head all hurty.

It seems they have two problems. One is stopping Peter from going nuclear, and the other is killing Sylar. Hiro seems to be tasked with the latter.

David had a good point - Sylar would have totally eaten Parkman's brain. How could he resist being able to read minds?

He can resist as long as Parkman is useful to him as a field agent -- finding the other supers. Once that usefulness is ended, Parkman undergoes Brain Salad Surgery.

My wife's point was: at the final confrontation of ubersupers, Peter vs. Sylar, Sylar gives up the game, telling all. Why doesn't Parkman overhear this and try to stop him? The idea of Parkman as Sylar-collaborator doesn't quite gel.

While Parkman CAN overhear general mental chatter in present time, all the times he used his power in the future he did so by choosing to concentrate. One could assume from that that he has gotten more selective in his abilities - in effect his "squelch" is working better.

Plus, he was totally concentrating on what he figured was ready to come thru that door.
