I Am Become Death

Sorry it's taken so long. I've been out of town for the past week, so I only just saw this episode a few days ago. I should be back on track with tonight's episode, though. Highlight below to see my take:

Future Peter takes PP into the future to see what's happened. Amazingly, everyone there has powers. So far, we've seen a future with specials being hunted and caged. One with some kind of disease that was designed to annihilate them. And now one where everyone has some kind of power. All of these options ended in disaster, so what's it going to take to keep the world from being destroyed? I'm not sure it's possible.

Anyway, FP gets shot by Claire, who must be a seriously good shot to have taken him out with a bullet to the base of his skull seeing as how that's the only way to kill him. As a result, PP is on the run and is looking for Sylar. Sylar, now going by the name Gabriel, has apparently learned to control his hunger and is raising a son (Adopted or his? We don't know) named Noah. PP wants Gabriel's power so that he can understand how things are working together to destroy the world. Gabriel warns him that along with his power comes a hunger to always know more which is what led him to kill so many people.

After Claire arrives, still hating her uncle Gabriel, a fight breaks out and Noah is killed. Gabriel then destroys everything in a nuclear blast designed to avenge the death of his son. Presumably Claire and Gabriel survive. PP has actually teleported back to Sylar's cell and is looking for a way to control the hunger. Sylar reveals that they are brothers, but PP should have already known that from Gabriel. Perhaps this is the process that turns Sylar good? If he can be turned.

I'm wondering how the lines were drawn in the battle. Claire is working with Daphne and Matt and they are fighting against Peter. Who is working with Peter? Is this what ultimately tore Hiro and Ando apart? Is Hiro working with Peter and Ando working with Claire? And which side is the good guys?

Matt is still stuck in Africa and is in a trance of some kind that allows him to see the future. He's not painting it, he's sort of living it. Married to Daphne, they are raising Molly as their own. Molly helps them find Peter which is how everyone shows up at Sylar's house to try and kill Peter. So is Matt now a bad guy? Or is he a good guy? And what about Daphne? And why is he following a turtle around in the present? Please don't keep dragging us through this story.

Hiro and Ando are still in the custody of the Company. After attempting to escape the two seem to be on the road to recovery when the Haitian steps in and takes them to Angela. Angela basically tells them they are idiots for losing control of their half of the formula, and Ando steps up in Hiro's defense. Hiro's new quest is to find the formula, but he may just be playing into Angela's hand.

Mohinder is still changing into something else. He seems to have increasing rage along with his other heightened senses. But what is he turning into? Based on the title of the episode, and the way he dragged the abusive husband into the loft, I think he's losing control of his ability to keep from killing.

Nathan is President in the future, and he is married to Tracy. I guess flying a girl around town works for more than just Superman. On the other hand, I'd be nervous about getting her emotions wound up. You might turn into a popsicle.
