Bingo. I know time travel has always been part of the show - I just don't like it.

Ok dumb question....

If Hiro's destiny was to time travel back and from what we can see....start a 'company' that included his decendents (father included)...isn't he in a sense going in a circle doing the same thing over and over creating split realities?

This is one of the many reasons I think it was a mistake to bring time travel (TT) into the show. Who's to say that Hiro is the only one who can do it? If all the "good" heroes eventually win, there's nothing that says the victory won't just be omitted by the "bad" hero who can TT and fix things the way (s)he wants to.

I realize it's a science fiction show, and TT is just part of it. But because of TT, the story will never feel like it can reach an actual conclusion (unless all the TT-capable heroes are killed off).

"The battle for the future will be fought in he past"

...wasn't this a tagline from Terminator?

Well we've only just seen our first duplication in powers. Also I don't think it's all that easy for Hiro, even Hiro who can stop time easily, to time travel. It tends to happen accidentally under severe stress. But time travel can have different rules... clearly Hiro will fix things because nothing has changed in the present, or this is what always happened in the first place. If he caused his lack of existence, would he disappear or continue on with no parents?

Moving outside of time for (relatively) short instances, or moving short distances without changing time seems par for the course. Making those BIG steps and moving distances and time aren't as easy. (Who's read A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeline L'Engle... same idea)

Here you will find a blog by the director of the season 2 opener, 'Four Months Later". If you scroll down to the 7th paragraph, you will see this little bit:

"Nathan, who was so in control and determined as a political candidate last year, has seemingly lost it all and has no goals. He drinks alone in a bar and is haunted by a disfigured version of himself. Who is this vision and what is the symbolism behind his horrible disfigurement?"

Claire, You're so lucky your lil toe grew back. Otherwise the kids would have gotten mighty suspicious when you never wore flip flops.

I am amazed by her (and Peter's) tolerance for pain.

Whether I was going to heal from it or not I'd be screaming!

Closet masochists...and what was stopping Mr Muggles from eating that toe?

Does anyone think that we will see Claire's mom again this season?

And..what the HELLIE is up with the 2 hispanic kids on the run?

I love Mama Petrelli... I loved it when she screamed at Matt to get out of her head.....I hope they don't kill off Mama P..

I am thinking that her and Hiro's father were "elders" of the society that was started...and...I am thinking now that Hiro is the progenitor of that Society...did anyone pick up that dude had healing powers similar to Claire?

I wonder if he will be like a descendant or sumn?

Prediction: Hiro starts the 15th century version of the Japanese Justice League...hehehe

Does anyone think they have anything to do with the "company" that claire's dad was involved with, and that mohinder/parkman are trying to bring down?

Mrs. Patrelli already revealed that they "did something awful".....

The 'company' is probably a 'splinter' group..

This is kinda petty, but I'm going to put it out there anyway. What will happen to the toe Claire cut off? Surely it won't grow a foot, then leg, then torso, etc... right? I mean, we're not going to discover that Claire can essentially clone herself are we?

I'm not sure I'm a fan of Claire's new science buddy - Wes, is it? He seems pretty shady to me. I don't see him aligning with the right/good side in the long run.
