I don't give a skit about that. The best fantasy stories don't bend and alter the rules of their universe, or use improper logic/reasoning for a given character simply to move the plot along and get people out of or into jams.

 

Peter had his scar "a year and change" after the bomb, and I don't think that I would wanna help a guy that damn near cut my head off, so I don't think it was Hiro that gave him the scar.

 

Hiro could have thought that Peter was really Sylar morphed into Peter or someother misunderstanding that was later worked out, Peter seems like a rather forgivable type of guy, especially for Hiro. Or maybe someone stole the sword and gave that scar to him?

 

or maybe it wasn't a sword...could be shrapnel, could really be anything.....except a shaving cut.

 

Nope, has to be something special, can't be some random piece of shrapnel, otherwise it wouldn't be a scar.

 

or, the episode we saw, was a different dimension entirely, and peter never got claires power

 

Nope, at the point of Hiro's jump on the timeline, he had already acquired the power. It wasn't an alternate universe/parrallel dimension, it was a jump 5 years to the future.

 

He could have had Claire's healing powers. He just took the slice to the face when the Haitian was standing nearby.
No powers, no healing.

 

I thought of that too, but I couldn't figure out what would keep it from healing up once the Hatian was out of range, or for that matter, what kept him from dieing from the initial impact that left such scar? So far, when Peter or Clair get "killed", whenever the instument that killed them is removed, they heal perfectly.

I'll leave it as a possibility, but remote w/o more info.

Let's keep the ideas flowing, hopefully someone will come up with something that can't be dismissed, and then that's going to be one of the most likely scenerios.

 

Haitian took him into custody?

 

And then what? Need more. At some point he got away from the Hatian.

 

Yeah, but it's not like the healing power has to work retroactively.

If the Haitian was present at the time that Peter got diced up, stayed with him during the initial healing time (Like they were left unconscious some where together), then maybe the wound wouldn't have been healed at all.

 

I think that would be one of those plotline stretches. ;-)

I'm going to have to watch it again to see if I can pick up any clues, I've got the DVR set for this Friday's re-airing.

 

I don't know if it's a stretch or not though. I can see a healing factor working to fix something after it happened, but not something that happened pre-power.

 

I still stick to the notion that if there were no healing power in effect due to the Hatian being around at the time that wound was inflicted, then he would have not survived the trauma that inflicted that wound.

 

good episode last night. i just wish hiro would man up a little bit. oh well. 2 hours next week though, so hell yeah i cant wait.

 

I think that the reason they are making Hiro not man up is for the mere story line.
If he did, imagine how unstoppable he'd be. What would he NOT be able to fix.

 

a bullet from last week's episode.

who's starting to get tired of how lame everyone is becoming? People's reluctance/inability to commit any action is starting to make the show draaaaaaaaaawwww on. sylar should quit talking about killing people and just do it. what is peter doing anymore? consoling people?

 

Ok, if peter is starting to go nuclear, the choices are this: 1) Claire can shoot him anywhere, and it would either shock his system into stopping as it focuses on repair, or 2) peter can just fly like the wind and shoot up 3 miles and take off out of harms way in a second.

The characters reluctance to "take care of business" is part of their human development. They aren't killers, and have no experience with the cloak and dagger stuff, so this is what we get, frustration. The deal with Hiro is getting to be a bit annoying. I thought after he saw Sylar kill his own mom, that it would help trigger enough emotion to get the job done, but the writters obviously have another plan to take care of Sylar, and it must revolve around the new little girl.

 

i think it revolves around using this new girl to chase sylar around for another season.
