Popkorn- if you look several posts up from yours, you'll see I listed D.L. as a probablt survivor (before Hiro's blog was cracked even!)
BHustonM- The painting you speak of isnt light emitting from a taxi cab, its a painting of peter (invisible) falling toward the taxi. (Which I think happened in "Unexpected")
And, once again, we've been given a spoiler where Linderman tells Nathan that Peter will be the bomb.
I'll bet all my waffles that if it happens (and it probably will) its Peter.

Well, then my apologies for not reading carefully. The more I think about it though, the more I am sort of going against it for the simple fact that while DL can phase through physical matter and as I mentioned in my post, the explosion is energy (in the form of thousands of degrees of heat).
I have to agree Popkorn. After all, we've seen DL's ability with solid objects, but we have yet to see if he's able to deal with energy. It has much different properties to it than a solid object, so there may very well be an Achilles heel to DL's power after all. Even when he's paying attention!
It may be an oversight, but bullets aren't exactly ice cold when they're fired from a gun. Having an explosion go off inside and behind them warms them up pretty quick, so if heat energy was unable to be dealt with by DL's power, he'd have third degree burns in his brain and on his head, where the bullet's pathing passed through him, leaving a heat trail behind it.
And, once again, we've been given a spoiler where Linderman tells Nathan that Peter will be the bomb.

Nathan- “If you know all this, you also know the exploding man is my brother Peter,” Nathan says.
Linderman- “As I said, we all have our role to play. Peter’s curtain call will come the day after you’re elected.”
If that is what you're referring to, I would agree that it seems your belief is solid and may well be true. However, things being what they seem has not been the norm for the writers. Linderman was not exactly an open book with Nathan either meaning, once again, that things are open to interpretation. It's an assumption that references to Peter's "role to play" and "curtain call" mean he will blow up NYC. Not an illogical assumption, but still an assumption.
I thought about that too acid and i totally agree. but i fear it may be an oversight by a little.....even though it shouldn't be. but i totally agree if he can deal with a burning bullet going through his head he can probably phase through fire or an explosion. but i did notice in that scene he kind of winces and his face is slightly altered as the bullet goes through him so maybe he can kind of feel the heat? i don't know...
And i'm still not convinced the explosion is peter. i could be 100% wrong but i take peter's dreams with not a grain of salt but a freakin mountain of it. it's been said over and over again. simone is in the dream...claire is in her cheerleading outfit, matt in his cop uniform. this i don't see happening in the final scenario. and i can't remember who or where but someone on here said they thought peter's dream was more just about t the powers he's absorbed and the small personalities that come with them. i'm not sure how simone plays into that.....but i think that fits more than just for sure peter is going to explode....and i won't deny that there is still the major possibility of the explosion happening but i'd be crazy not to think that if it does it won't be peter because we've been shown that a million times and a lot of people think they KNOW for a fact it's going to be peter. with a show like this that throws curveballs at you every second, i highly doubt they'll be sticking to a scenario we've watched a bunch of times already. and no, i don't think that it would be an even crazier twist if they DID stick with the scenario. i think that would lame. but again that's just me.
My whole take on Peter's dream isn't that he's the bomb.
To me, Peter's dream was of himself, and not really NYC. When Peter had the dream, he was just coming to the realization that he could have more than one power. Now, he falls into a slight coma, and while comatose has a dream about everyone he's met, and people that he's run into. I took this to be his interpretation of people and powers that he's acquired, and important loved ones in his life. His dream then warns him that if he doesn't control these powers, they'll destroy him, and everyone around him as well.
I know, this could very well be way off base, but it's my whole take on the Peter dream scene..
BHustonM- The painting you speak of isnt light emitting from a taxi cab, its a painting of peter (invisible) falling toward the taxi. (Which I think happened in "Unexpected")
I distinctly remember a painting looking down on a cab as if you were fliying over it. I also know of the painting that you are speaking of. That was a side view with Peter sitting on the ground.
I like it Jorm. It's a metaphorical dream, and, while it may not be true, it certainly does fit the cause storywise. My only issue with it is that we know he does have some sort of precognitive dreaming ability, so, metaphorical or not, there has to be some amount of truth in the dream.

Yes, the painting you are speaking of, BHustonM, is a bird's eye view of Peter, himself, as he is falling into the cab just after Claude threw him off of the ledge. At first, it just looks like a painting of a cab. However, like Action said, Peter is in the picture too (we just can't see him because Isaac couldn't see him), and while it looks like there is light being emitted from the cab, it's actually just showing us the speed at which Peter is falling.
The painting was just added to the Linderman archive. For your viewing pleasure:
Remember, Isaac paints things in a comic book style, in panels. His paintings are a sequence of events. Other than his paintings of Homecoming, the paintings of the bomb show this (So far we've got his floor mural, the exploding man, and the aftermath), as well as the paintings he did at the end of 18, showing him with the top of his skull removed.
The painting with the cab was done in the same sequence of events as the following other paintings:

Just remember that half the people in the dream Peter hadn't even met yet.

I agree - I think Peter's dream is about his fears about not being able to control his powers. I don't expect it to predict anything precisely. People aren't acting the way you would expect - Nathan is so calm it's weird, and Hiro walks away - and Simone is there when we know she's already dead. The dream seems to me to be about feeling alone and out of control - the street is deserted, everyone is running from him except Nathan and Simone, and in particular we see the two people Peter cares about most (Nathan and Simone) vaporized.
Two things support that the dream should be predictive, and I don't have a good counterargument for them. Niki, DL, and Micah are in the dream, and Peter has not met them yet. The flashes of Peter's first meeting with Claude came true, and I'll try to wiggle out of that one by saying it was really a different dream.
Way back when we were arguing about whether Peter could retain powers, someone posted something to the effect that Peter should be able to tell what powers he has and have some control with them, or else he could accidentally hurt someone. I think the quote went something like, "oops, sorry I fried you with my laser vision." Now we see that Peter doesn't always know what powers he has and can't always control them. His training with Claude (and I'm not sure "training" is the best word) helped, but he still doesn't know which trick is going to come out of the bag. The first time he used telekinesis, he didn't know he had it and had to try to remember where it came from.
I might be going out on a limb here, but I have a theory that may explain the Bomb. We know from Hiro's short trip to the future in the second episode and Isaac's most recent painting that Isaac is going to have his brain eaten by Sylar in his loft.
But what if in fact is isn't him - that it's actually Ted whose body is in Isaac's loft and painting? You have to admit, with each of them having a beard, they look kinda similar.
If that's true, then that would make Sylar the bomb, and it would draw together many of the threads from this season.
Also - remember that Peter had his exploding dream after just having met Sylar. Perhaps what he was imagining was Sylar's inability to control a power that he had just absorbed.
