Heroes: Parasite Recap.
=================

This will not be a step by step reviewing of the ep or be in chronological order. I'll also skip the lame stuff.

SPOILERS FOLLOW

Hiro gets his sword, and man does he get his power back. He jumps into the future from Vegas to New York WITH ANDO. (Oh yeah, Andos back!) So this begs the question: Can Hiro teleport himself and (an)other(s) with him, or does Ando absorb some of Hiros power? I'd like to think the latter. Theory: Anyone can absorb anyones power (if only temporarily and weakly) if they are "close" to them. This could explain why Peters wussy, 'I care for everyone too much' complex gives him the ability to absorb others' powers. I mean Peter has a power, above and beyond us normals, but maybe it's possible for everyone to absorb anyones power if they're close to them. I don't just mean close physically, but mentally, emotionally, financially, etc. Maybe Mohinder starting picking up some of Sylars powers after befriending him and going on adventures. Maybe...

We meet Linderman. (Is that Malcolm McDowell from Star Trek: Generations and the blocker buster hit Tank Girl?) He says he knows about Nathan's, and others', powers and can have him 'a heart beat away from being president.' So Petrelli becomes VP and someone offs the president? Cool.

Nikki fails.

The epic battle between Peter and Sylar we were waiting for thus far is Sylar starting to cut Peter's forehead. This COULD explain why Future Hiro says, "I almost didn't recognize you without your scar."....But so far it's just a little scratch, just a flesh AND SKULL wound, isn't Peter supposed to be able to heal? The only way around this I can see is 1. This isn't how Peter gets his scar, or 2. ---actually that's it. Cause even after Claire was dumped in the freakin' river and vivisected for who knows how many hours, she still doesn't have a scratch or scar on her. Maybe Sylar pokes Peters brain in JUUUST the right spot taking the healing power. Ehhh, maybe not. Maybe Peter never met Claire, see below.

Does Hiro mean the multiple universes kind of time travel. Like Back to the Future part 2? If Sylar killed Claire could Hiro have gone back in time to tell the heroes to save her OR WILL Hiro go back in time BECAUSE he knows he did/does it before/sometime, and he's afraid if he doesn't do it, he will uneximplode the universe?

An important question because if there is only one time-line then, Isaac is killed by Sylar and New York goes nuclear.

I urge the writers to look into the multiple universes kind of time travel. Why? Example: Let's say Heroes gets to it's 7th season. Season four was kick ass but it starts going downhill from there. Something really, really bad could happen that causes Hiro to go back in time to season four (maybe he over shoots the bad thing a little) and the story continues from there. We get TWO season fours!!! Each one different and awesome! Then writers can rectify whatever they did to cause this mythical sucky season five and six to occur. It's like taking candy from a baby...then beating the baby at arm wrestling.
