Hana continues to review the Lone Star file.

Dallas and Austin plan their attack on the small village, but notice that there is no farming equipment. The entire valley is created by _______. It appears that there is a girl there that has the power to make plants flourish. Austin feels a connection with the girl and is indecisive about the attack. Dallas emphatically reminds him in a military manner that their mission is to destroy the village.

Dallas and Austin rig the explosives to destroy the heavily armed village. The count-down to detonation begins. KA-BOOM. They open fire.

In the middle of the melee, Dallas targets the girl. Austin screams NO and tackles Dallas, saving the girl.

to be continued.....

I think its made quite obvious that dallas is mr petrelli come on look his face he looks just like Nathan this leaves austin to possible be Linderman.
Any thoughts on this?..

Yes, I agree that Dallas has got to be Mr. Patrelli. He looks more and more like Nathan as the story progresses. Of course we have not seen Mr. Patrelli yet so we don't know for sure he looks like Nathan. Whoa! I just thought of something that could be major if true. Dallas looks like Nathan Patrelli and the more I think about it it seems to me that Austin looks like Peter Patrelli. Could it be that Papa Patrelli is Dallas and Austin is indeed Linderman but that Linderman is in fact Peter's Father and not Papa Patrelli? That would be some twist would it not.

Linderman definitely has powers:

Now is it healing or the growing power we saw in the novel?

In Popkorn's Linderman theory we covered the idea that Nathan and Peter are brothers, but half-brothers. Mama Petrelli got busy with both Linderman and Papa Petrelli. Nathan being Papa's, and Peter being Linderman's. however, I don't recall as to the general consensus of everyone's take on the idea.

My assumption is that Linderman, as Dallas, has the healing ability. I'd say that there's going to be a tie in here that gives Molly Walker the growing ability seen by the plants. Can someone look into the episode where Matt finds her and see if the house had any houseplants, or garden that looked lush and fertile? I'm at work, and can't really check it out right now..

Aside from tossing out ideas, that's about all I can do here.

I think Linderman has the healing powers
In the novel the growing powers were portrayed by the girl in the camp not Austin.
Jormengrund What assumption has led you to believe that molly walker will have a growing power

We don't know if Molly's real mother is the woman that was killed in the house. Who knows? Maybe since Hiro was able to find Molly, that could mean that Molly was like Claire. Adopted by someone in the agency, and raised by an outside family.

After all, there would be the connecting factor of Hiro's dad in all of these scenarios now.

He gives Molly to Mr. Walker, Claire to HRG.. Who knows who else was accepted? Maybe Peter to Mr. and Mrs. Petrelli??

Hmm good theory it has got me thinking about it

I still go with the idea of Linderman being Dallas.

If Linderman has any power (which I'm still very skeptic about) it is probably something more mundane like actual power and manipulation.

How about this for a theory... after Vietnam, Dallas now has knowledge of these powers the girl shows and those that Austin shows, so he is privy to the information that there are humans out there with power. Through this expertise and time he learnt to manipulate them into using their powers in his favour (like Niki/Jesica, DL for example).

This knowledge and manipulation skills have made him the strong "gangster" like man he is today and will continue to be, manipulating Nathan, Isaac's paintings and the rest to attempt to get a personal advantage.

Jormengrund: How do you connect Molly Walker with Au Co (the girl in the graphic novel)? I believe the novel is set in 1968; that girl would be in her mid-forties. She's also Asian; I haven't seen the earlier episodes in a while, but I remember Molly being a little white girl. I do like the idea of the company being a meta adoption agency. At first I just laughed (sorry), then it struck me as being brilliant. What better way to track hereditary inheritance and the progress of your patients, and save the effort of tracking down, bagging n' tagging? Props.

Here's what I think: The aging of Au Co is just about right for Linderman's assistant in the casino... assuming she's really well preserved, or I overestimated the comic girl's age. Linderman (Austin) saves her life, either by healing or preventing Dallas from killing her. She feels indebted or is awed by the similarity of their powers, and a casino empire (along with I'm not really sure what else) is formed.

Also , Linderman being able to heal would be why he wasn't afraid to have Jessica "keep Nathan in line," which is code for "beat the crap out of." He can heal any damage she causes, letting Nathan know what he's really dealing with and making him feel even more powerless. It would also be another reason for the meeting not to take place in his more visible office, though I guess people would look twice at a bloody Congressional candidate stepping into a kitchen. Oh, well. Food for thought. (I'm not sure what all qualifies as a spoiler; better safe than sorry, I guess.)

I got tired of waiting to read every single thread before posting, so I apologize if this is all redundant.
