my guess is that Peter is so angry at whoever killed Nathan, that he is going to try and find the person who did it, violently eviscerate him.
any thoughts? |

| My guess is that she means once the public begin to suspect there are people among them with powers, there will be a witch hunt to remove them from the populous because they are feared. If I recall correctly, people with powers were once treated real bad by the rest of civilization weren't they? I thought the company started in order to protect folks with powers because the rest of society rejected them as freaks. Maybe Angela is afraid her son's disclosure will begin another with hunt. |

WowSylar's theory is very similar to this entry in the ActivatingEvolution.org WIKI:
| Quote: |
As a result of the cataloging of the entire human genome, Forced Fast Evolution will begin over the next 50 years. While allowing humans to defeat the aging process, regenerate organs and obtain heretofore unexperienced levels of strength, endurance and intelligence, a Pandora's Box of unimaginable horrors will be forever opened.
In addition to the positive effects mentioned above, [...] Monsters which were just the stuff of science fiction will roam the earth, terrorizing the 'normal' population.
This will eventually give rise to the 'Genetics Wars' where mutant freaks will be hunted and destroyed as vermin. Walled-in cities of 'normals' will send out patrols to seek and destroy the mutants. Even positive mutations will be looked upon as a poison to humanity and be targeted for elimination. |
Now I want to go re-watch the episode, and see if Angela could have been talking about some action OTHER than Nathan's (actual or attempted) assassination. Ooh, maybe "forced fast evolution" is something that the Company was working on by studying Adam's blood (a good reason to keep him around instead of killing him, despite his blood's regenerative powers), and maybe everyone who got a dose of Adam's or Claire's blood is going to evolve into something hideous! That would be awesome!!! Then we solve the whole "oh that person died but we can bring them back with Claire's blood" problem. |

If Frying_Man's theory is correct, this could be Nathan's theme song for Volume 3:
(To the tune of Wave of Mutilation by The Pixies, to whom go my sincerest apologies.)
Cease to exist, about to die.
Cheerleader's blood can bring me back
You'll think I'm dead, but I find a way
I'm a slave to new mutation
A slave
Slave
I've been burned up, shot in the chest
Walked away with no real damage
Who'd have thought there'd be consequences?
I'm a slave to new mutation
Slave to new mutation
Slave to new mutation
Slave |

| Hm. You know, I've been thinking about this. Myabe what she meant is just that the public might think: 'what could be so important that someone would shoot him to stop him saying?' I'm guessing they would be curious to say the least, and would try to find out... Meaning that they probably couldn't keep people with abilities secret for long. In fact, by shooting him, they may have made things worse for themselves. |
