Another random though. Charles Deveaux, what's the deal there? I don't mean does he have an ability, more why is he sick? What is he suffering from? We never got an explanation. He is obviously connected to the company somehow, so why didn't Linderman heal him? Is it because there are some things Linderman's abilities couldn't heal, or was it something more sinister? Charles obviously disputed the plan for New York, so maybe they got him out of the way?

I am right in thinking that his agent and publicists massed a huge media campaign regarding the fact he wasnt though, right?

maybe he didn't want to be saved?

what do you think his power was anyway?

That's due to an attitude in America where any actor portraying a gay character invariably gets hounded by the media who assumes they are gay irl, along with the worry that the actor will then be typecast. Eric McCormack suffered from this for years reportedly.

At the time he was being linked to the Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is a huge budget production for Fox, so making sure they quashed those rumours makes good business sense.

I didn't say he had one. Fwiw, he didn't have one. Don't buy into this "everyone has to have an ability" theory that's popular atm, plenty of characters in the show I believe are powerless. Mr Muggles included in that before anyone starts

Rumours continue that it's 124 days till Volume Two:Generations starts, which makes a restart date of September 24th. Imo, that's a bit optimistic. Fall schedule starts that day, and I'm not sure Heroes will return on the first night. Although Heroes was NBC's only big performer this past year, so they could decide to hang their hats on it. Might be dependent on how their other shows fare between now and then.

it was just something he said in the episode that i was confused about until i just watched the scence again.

any idea's how peter and charles were able to speak to each other.

at first i thought that was a power that peter may have got from charles. there has to be more to it than a dream.

[michaelwoodcock]

No idea yet how Peter and Charles were able to have that conversation, don't even have a working theory, information just too sparse.

So, work on my "Heroes through time" theory coming along nicely, hopefully the Yamagato Fellowship website will help me refine it once it goes fully live. Certainly the heroes featured on the site so far *could* all have abilities, which supports my thoughts that this phenomenon is a regular occurance, perhaps marked by an Eclipse? At first I thought solar radiation may have played a part in it, but research doesn't seem to show larger than normal amounts of solar radiation during an Eclipse, I would need solar flares for that.

I'm not expecting Hiro back in the "present" any time soon, unless the comics pick up his story during the break. Future Hiro remarked to Ando that he had learned battōjutsu, a sword fighting style native to Japan during the fifteenth century, and very uncommon these days. I'm thinking Kensei taught him. He will stay with Kensei for a while, both to learn battōjutsu and to hone his other abilities, as I believe Kensei is himself "gifted. He will essentially become Hiro's Claude Rains.

Will have to wait and see if Kensei and Hiro's father are one in the same. I agree with the thought they did look similar, but Kensei was wearing a large mask, so cannot be sure.

Future Hiro was from a timeline when the bomb went off though, so its a bit tenuous to rely on anything from that episode IMO.

I'm hoping that the comic doesn't explain the explosion we saw in the finale as well. I will be extremely annoyed if Peter didn't explode at all, and Wireless just happened to ride that satellite into burning up at the exact moment to create that impression.

Rather hoping that Kensei will prove to be the first Hero, and we get some idea on the origins of the genetic mutation that causes the powers - preferably with something on how the manifestation of these powers is so different from person to person.

Liking the theory that Ma Petrelli knows about the "worse than Sylar" person that Molly was on about, and was hoping for the bomb to get rid of them.

Charles and Peter were surely conversing thanks to a power that Charles had - the ability to appear in dreams maybe? Like that Indian kid?

It would certainly be nice to see a power re-occurring in more than one person, and to investigate the links between them.
