Maybe Peter becomes the bomb while fighting Sylar. Either to stop him, or by accident. Only he doesn't succeed after all, which leads to the future, where he actually makes things worse.
I answered that above. Peter has to use his power to absorb the powers of others, even if it's subconscious. Since when the Haitian used his power, it negated Peter's, he couldn't absorb it. Paradox. Just like he could only heal after Claire healed herself. Same with the super hearing. Though it was used on him, maybe Peter has to be around the person while they're using it. Ted is always radiating, so Peter could pick up on it even if he didn't notice (nice fake out on that BTW).
I base all of this on nothing of course, but it makes the most sense.

u do know what i'm taling about where hiro goes in to the future 5 years and it's a one fight with slyar and peter. peter's hands go blue and slyar's are red. that why i was thinking of the 2 different bomb thing.

Judging by the future, DL has to be alive up until the point Sylar kills him to get his power.
Does anyone get the feeling that Linderman was somehow related to Claire (and by default Peter/Nathan)? The healing ability kind of hints about it.
We now know how DL got it
It will be interesting to see if Hiro can overcome his fear and kill Sylar. Even if Peter is the bomb. We know Ted can't be it.
I absolutely loved the George Takei training session. He mentioned something about being the next ???, but he didn't think Hiro was the one. Does he know more about the destiny than he told Hiro?
I couldn't place the little girl for the longest time, was she the one that Matt pulled from the closet under the stair case? He didn't seem to recognize her, but she thought that he was her hero. Kind of ironic...

And that could be how Sylar survives the bomb. Ted doesn't seem to hurt himself while exploding and neither do Peter and Sylar. From next weeks preview it looks like Peter starts to explode and says something like "it's the only way." It's as if he thinks exploding is the only way he can stop Sylar, however since Sylar has the nuke power he can survive the explosion.
Well he also knew about Ted's power after talking to Claire, so it may be that he subconsciously picks up any power in the vicinity but without any demonstration he is completely unaware that he has any new powers. Since he can read minds it should make things interesting. If someone only thinks about their power (but doesn't use it) is that enough for Peter? If Sylar were to run down a mental inventory of his powers, could Peter then access all of them?
We've already seen Sylar has the ability to freeze things (water, humans), remember making snow in his mother's apartment. And it's conceivable that Peter might come in contact with Claire's biological mother within the next 5 years. I thought the fight was Fire vs Ice rather than Ted's powers. This picture shows the showdown and it looks more like fire and ice rather than Ted's powers.
sylar is officially nuts.
and i doubt molly dies, i think that will be too much in controversy killing a little girl. same reason why micah doesn't go.
and another main character is set to go...who do you think that will be?

I don't watch previews because I'm a spoilerphobe.
I don't think Peter needs to consciously try to use a power to absorb it because he passively picked up Ted's even though Ted wasn't actively using it. Which means that Peter should have ALL of Sylar's powers that Sylar had at the time he and Peter interacted last (in Mohinder's apt). Which would mean all of Sylar's current powers, because other than Ted's I don't think he has gained any new ones since last battling Peter.
I think that's a definite possibility, but why does the Haitian's power 'override' Peter's? What determines the heirarchy? Also, why does the Haitian have 2 powers (negation + memory removal), like Nikki/Jessica (twinning + super strength) ? I'm wondering if there is any logic to the one vs two powers thing.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's the same girl and the dialogue certainly indicates that.
I agree, I think it's fire not radiation.
Really? How do we know this? And could this just be lack of control, not necessarily a natural state?
I'm wondering why tonight is only a one hour episde- there's a lot to be answered, and NBC (I thought) normally went with a longer episde of finales.
Agreed - I'm a little worried they won't be able to fit EVERYTHING into a 1hr finale, but my guess is that they'll wrap up the "bomb" plot and leave a few things open to have multi-season mysteries as well.
That seems like a good balance to me.
I thought it was awesome. It answered all the questions and posed new ones for next season. I feel satisfied.
I'll wait before posting any spoilers.

I thought it was fine. Not great, but pretty good. And enough loose ends to set up for a new story arc next season.
P.S. Was pleased to see that the name of the site for the showdown was Kirby Plaza; can't remember if they had mentioned its name before now.
I think the whole NY bomb resolution was a little stupid. Then again it does allow for redemption.
As for the last couple of minutes with the preview for part two, generations, I mean who didn't see that coming.
Stray question. Is bad ass Japanese for constipated?
It was the best ending ever! Come on? no one cried? Seriously? Why was it so bad?
SPOILER:
Nathan was tiered up to be the villian all along, but him saving the City was what took it to avoid the future. Saving the Cheerleader kept Sylar from getting her power, but it also allowed for her to plant that nugget of insight into Nathan's brain. It was as simple as him flying Peter out of there. If Claire would have shot what guarentee was there that the bullet wouldn't go straight through? Peter would have blown up like Ted did when Thompson shot him. Granted everyone showing up and doing their part to slow down Slyar was a bit lame, and Niki discovered her power way to late. But Nathan sacrificing himself to save the world was touching. The only way to ruin it would have Nathan come back totally ruining the 'self-sacrifice' emotion response of the audience. Peter might come back, but that would ruin the second season because it would reintroduce the 'exploding man' dilemma. Sylar never wanted to blow up and he seems to beable to control it, less emotional it seems. So he'll defintely be back, perhaps as in another role. Teaming up against a stronger villian maybe

My hypothesis is that Peter can only use one power at a time. Or that he's too emotionally unstable. Claude was right about clearing your head, distancing yourself for him to use his powers.
I passed Sylar coming out of the subway today. I caught his glance and said "I'm excited about tonight and I just got off the phone with a friend and told her 'DON'T CALL ME DURING HEROES'. He paused, smiled said thanks and something like, 'That's the way to go'. I scampered off quickly and giggled for a few minutes out of excitement. BTW my friend called during the show. I had to answer to scold her and tell her about seeing a cast member.
That story line is closed. Now we know that other seasons will be open for new adventures.

I liked it even though the Hiro stabbing sylar thing looked fake.....the generations part was most interesting...well we will see next season.

agreed! i just feel i was short chaged. the slyar/peter fight, i was waiting for something great and nothing! it was just to mundane for my taste. i'm not waiting for next season at all. if that the arch for the next seson, it's a low arc.
