I appreciated it belatedly. I thought people not getting it was funnier :P.

Wikipedia quote coming up:

Bennet and the Haitian then rush into the cell and subdue him with a tranquilizer gun.[citation] In "Godsend," Sylar is seen lying helpless on the floor of his cell after being injected with powerful drugs used to help make special abilities manifest.

The citation refference sends you to NBCs Heroes Graphic Novel Section and on page 6 of 7 the picture does show as much. The story also shows Bennet telling Edens father she is dead.

I only found out about the graphic novels from searching for answers.

I also agree that Nathan was saving the city when flying Peter skyward, and he would've been too out of control to do it himself. But admittedly the gun thing did make things a little sketchy.

Hope this helps ^.^

P.S. Okay I'm not allowed to post links until my post count is higher, but its reference 4 on the wikipedia page for Sylar, you'll find them at the bottom of the page. And you can get to the online novel from NBCs Heroes site.

P.S.S. What I thought was weird was Sylars inconsistancy of being able to use his powers in his cell. Don't know if anyone else can explain this to me?

P.S.S.S. (this is getting rediculous) AND how Sylar managed to disobey Eden in the first place. And if he was who unfroze time when Hiro was going to kill him, this could have been a lapse in Hiros concentration of course.

OK, we can assume that the cell which holds Sylar incorporates some system to supress his powers instead of the Haitian always hanging around. I'm sure that the Haitian leaves to see Claire a few times while Sylar is in the cell. So, if Sylar can use his powers in there, he must have found a way around the 'dampening field' or whatever it is. Sylar's original power was the ability to understand how things work, so after studying his surroundings for a time he might have figured out how to use his powers despite the security systems. After Eden dies, he's kept on such a cocktail of drugs that he can't even move, let alone use his powers.

I also think that's how he's able to escape from Mohinder by stopping the IV drip. The drip prevents him from using his powers by choice, but it doesn't nullify them completely as Mohinder takes advantage of Sylar's super-hearing to torture him with a tuning fork. His ability to undertand things is a passive rather than active one (i.e. he can't choose whether to understand things, he simply does or doesn't) so, as that hasn't been nullified by the drugs, he can assess the situation and work out how to turn off the IV with telekinesis.

I don't think Sylar disobeys Eden, I think that he uses his ability to undertand how things work to exploit a flaw/loophole in her power: she never told him not to try to kill her. She says that she is going to put the gun in the tray and then Sylar is going to shoot himself in the head with it. I think the 2nd part of that sentence is entirely dependant on the 1st part and Sylar is under no obligation to do anything against his will until the gun is in his cell and the first part of the sentence has been completed.

Of course, a simpler explanation would be that he's just very strong willed.

i think you're right on the money about the room itself being used to dampen his powers, the exploitation he used, i thought, was the tray she was putting the gun in to... if it formed a link between his cell and where she was standing that may have allowed him to interact with her via slamming her into the glass. poor eden. i'm a sucker for those giant eyes.

Whatever the case, immediately after this scene, the Hatian totally disappears. He would have been PARTICULARLY useful in a showdown with Sylar, no?

From what I can tell, the Haitian is working for the company, but answers to Angela (Natan's mom). While she does have the same overall plans as linderman, she has her own agenda as well. She cares for her ganddaughter and does not want to see her harmed, so she hid clair from all those who would harm her including linderman. Why the haitian dissapears afterward, looks to be answered in season 2, his powers started to dissapear....

Hero's first trip into the future where he travels to the day of the explosion, the time the explosion happends durring the day.

But in the final episode of season one it is night when Peter explodes.

the events that transpired between the two changed the timing of the event. the bomb was a person, not a timed device.
