I think he has the power of 'about face'!!!

He boasts about his dads genuis and how he put it all together and maade a map and yada, yada, yada... Then he proclaims his dad a fool and himself a fool for believing his dad.

He runs away from a guy in his cab... And then breaks into the apartment of the possible guy.

He tackles Nathan on the street about being 'special' and having powers... And then mocks Peter for saying the same things.

The power of Mega-Hypocrisy? Hyper-Self-Contradiction? Surprised

Seriously though, it makes sense that in the beginning he has faith in his dad's work but when he starts hitting these seeming dead ends, he begins to lose it. And the disbelief in Peter came directly after Nathan gave him the brush-off. Maybe Mohinder is manic-depressive?

Issac seems to be exhibiting signs of this Mega-Hipocrisy power too, in the one scene he's all "I'm going to paint the future and save the world, I'm going to be a hero!" and the next he's in a funk. "I can't understand this crap, I'm just a junkie with delusions of grandeur, oh woe is me."

I can see a junkie acting like that. Mohinder being manic-depressive is a pretty good reason for his behavior. Possibly some(powered?)body toying with his mind and emotions. HRG should know where he is and can get him anytime he wants too.

Instead a bug exterminator trys to plant some bugs and Mohinder is saved by some girl. Instantly evelvating her to 'trusted friend who saved my life' status. She also happens to have been great friends with dad and even has her own key. What further proof would be needed for her to gain Mohinders trust.

How did Sylar even know to get the apartment cleaned out after she and Mohinder went to get the police? I think she is powered and working for HRG - and toying with Mohinder.

I definitely agree that she's probably working with HRG. As for whether she's powered or not, I don't know. She does seem to have a knack for pointing out the clues to Mohinder.

In the two-minute recap you see HRG asking for help from Isaac and she (I SWEAR ITS HER!) is standing in the background!

Yeah, I saw that scene, it sure does look like her. At least, she has the same hair from the blur I could make out.

i think mohinder is running away from his problems. almost like the story of the prodical son, mohinder goes and does what he wants for a while but eventually relizes his destiny. which is...?

Would you believe me if I told you I had a power, but I couldn't show it to you?

No, I wouldn't believe you but, I also wouldn't believe it if you showed me. I would think it is an illusion.

Peters dad also had a depressent dissorder remember?

palefrost · Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 1:44 pm Post subject:

I think he is just trying to deal with the death of his father. When he got the ern with his body in it and he realized he had no relationship with him for years i think it was him realizing he might be trying to focus on something his father believed in and not himself. I think its a mix of depression and he will snap out of it if he finds some connection to it again. It needs to be his cause now though and not a father he was hoping loved him. Maybe i am reading to much into it but thats how i see his reaction as meaning.

Mohinder is the one char I have not bonded with yet. hence if they need to kill off a major char, it could be him and I would not even shed a tear. I believe your right about his power being "about face"! He is soo wishy washy about everything, yet he can't seem to see through that neighbor of his. I find it very interesting that she is finding all the clues and has a key and so on a so forth. Like leading cows into the slaughter house. Hopefully there will be more char development for Mohinder and soon.
