Gabriel's working on a watch, tinker's tools. A man enters his shop, it is Bryan Davis. Says someone called him. "Yes I called you, my name is.." he looks down at the watchface. The name on the watch face is "SYLAR." "Gabriel Sylar," he finishes. Bryan moves a cup with his mind, asks Sylar if he can make it go away. "You're broken Sylar says, but don't worry, I can fix it.

Mohinder narrates, scenes from Homecoming flash past. Charlie dies, Claire is blood, the Haitain drops Sylar, DL gets in the truck. Niki takes aim and shoots. Hiro puts the crane next to Charlie's photo shrine. "I loved her" Hiro says.
I have to ask - was this episode supposed to make us feel a connection to Sylar? Make him more of a person and less of a serial killer? Because what I took from this episode was that he's even more methodically evil than I even expected.
he's just a guy that didnt get enough attention/recognition growing up. kinda like peter he feels as if he was meant for something bigger. he wanted to be important. im not sure how eating other people's brains and taking their powers will make him important but who knows. maybe it's like hey this brian davis doesnt want to embrace his specialness so i'll just make better use of it. i still think sylar deserves a spanking. i wonder at what point suresh starts calling him sylar.
on another note, i can see why nathan shuns his ability. he feels terribly guilty about the accident, flying away and leaving his wife in the car.
Thanks for getting this up so quickly . As for your thoughts on Sylar...I believe that we were just supposed to get a glimpse of how his mind works and what is driving him . Not only that but what is to happen to our happy go lucky Hiro I feel really bad for him. What does he do now is the question, I mean will he turn his back on his powers because it couldn't save Charlie. I hope we get to see something of him in the next episode ....
ooo i also forgot to ask about hiro's line about not being able to change the past. so what's the deal with future hiro meeting with peter then? is that something that was always supposed to happen? and future hiro wasnt trying to change anything but just setting things in motion as they were meant to be?
did anyone think it was odd that Isaac was the only character they didn't show. for reasons explained in a different post on the subject its my guess he's the one to get killed off. i thought the episode was ok. i'm not dissapointed don't get me wrong but it felt kinda like a step back (i guess technically it was) after last weeks episode. and now next week will be the last episode untill after newyears ahhhh noooooooooooooo!!!! i dont wanna wait that long for new ones. oh well at least we'll prob get a marathon of em all @ some point b4 the new ones
The deal with furture Hiro is that he did not "directly" interfere with the past (ie he did not go back to stop the event) where our Hiro went back and tried himself to stop Charlie's death . Hopefully we will get a little more input from Hiro on what he thinks.

I completely agree. I thought it was really weird that Isaac wasn't shown. I also think that he's maybe the one that is going to be lost .. As soon as I saw that I was like "*GASP!* It's going to be ...." Then I covered my mouth and muffled the name Isaac. XD I do feel a bit thrown off track, but I'm ready to see the next episode.. but not to wait til NEXT YEAR for new ones.. T_T!!! I so wish Hiro could have saved Charlie though .. so sad.. ;_;
Tonights episode showed charlie saying she had a blood clot in her brain and that she was dying. I'm guessing that the future was changed and that she died before syler could kill her, of an anuerism. The alter they kept showing with all the pictures and whatnot has indeed been misleading. She was dead, its just that she wasn't killed. People weren't crying because they knew the death was coming. She remembered that hiro was from the future and guessed as much in the future when they "first" met. She was dropping clues with the book and the ticket to see if he was the same hiro. Its why she said hiro was sweet, because it was the same feelings.
He can change the past, I'm guessing next episode will prove it.
Just in case anyone didn't see it, there will be a Heroes marathon on the Sci Fi channel. I'm not sure of the date and time though.
I thought tonights episode was very informative. It answered all kinds of questions for me. I especially liked it when Matt was sitting in his police car eating the donuts......that was so cute!
Sylar really creeps me out! What did he do to that nerdy guy to take his powers? Did he really eat him? I just can't see him as a cannibal. He has the creepy calmness that always freaks me out about murderers. :::shudder:::
I would like to see what happened to DL and Micah, although i'm not real intrigued by the Micah, DL storyline. I love Nikki and Jessica though, she is one of my favorite characters.
I also think Isaac is the one that is killed. In one of the previews doesn't Hiro knock on Isaac's studio door and finds a body laying on the ground with his scull cut open??
Did anybody notice the broken watch sylar is wearing in episode 8??
In the scene he is telepathically grabbing a cup in the restaurant.
I'm pretty sure there is a reason for it. Anybody wanna discuss?
There is also clockworks background music when it closes up on him. Well his silhouette anyways. XD Which I thought was cool... The music.. not his.. silhouette... haha
I also agree with kabelion
When She was talking to Hiro about how his checks wobble when he concentrates.. He's never "concentrated" in front of her before.

No way! This experience will help shape his powers! Go Hiro Go!

I think sylar can manulipate current time much like the clock maker? what ever that DC comics guy can do. which would explain how he can move without people seeing him his power is not like hieros. but actually i dont think sylar has anyabilities of his own.
Hiro will only get stronger with his powers.... I think Ted or Issac will be the "Hero" lost...
Maybe balance -- I am starting to believe that if Ted explodes, it will be in the hands of Sylar trying to fix him, who also dies, BUT who DOES NOT NOW HAVE Claire's powers because "Save the Cheerleader; Save the World".
