		<description>This goes back to the age old paradox questions raised by the antics of Doc Brown in the Back to the Future films where the 2015 Doctor gets stuck back in 1885 when his  mision to 1955 goes wrong. The 1885 doc writes a letter to Marty to be delivered in 1955 moments after he disappeared specifically asking him not to come back to 1885 to help. However, hours later, Marty seeks the help of the 1955 Doc to get back to 1885 to help the 2015 doc stuck in 1855. In other words, come 2015, the Doc would already remember that he had helped Marty to save himself back in 1955/1855 and wouldnt bother writing the letter... But also, why would he let himself be sent back to 1855 by accident if he knew he wasnt supposed to go there...? Too many questions

What i am trying to say is that if Hiro and co's actions in the present, that resulted from his jump to 2012 and meeting himself in a future where Sylar isnt dead and the bomb went off, have altered the future so that the bomb didnt go off (but sylar is still alive) - would future Hiro and co and the resulting events that happen in a second alternate future (with no bomb) be enough to make Hiro come back and still do the same things he did in the final episode? Or would that change things to a third alternate future and thus a perpetual loop of alternate outcomes and ever changing futures?

You know what, its only a TV programme.</description>

		<description>The many chances Sylar has had to escape death are starting to piss me off and stretch credulity even of a comic book inspired story line to the breaking point. I am tired of seeing that weird face and frankly the character makes me want to wretch, it is sick and perverted and it has dodged the death bullet one time too many for my taste. Lots of other characters with interesting plot lines to follow and play with, end Sylar's NOW!</description>

		<description>Let's see if I can explain this. When "future" Hiro says he tried to kill Sylar but was unable to because he regenerated, he was talking about a timeline in which no one was there to save Claire at Homecoming. But, since he went back and told Peter to save her and he did, Claire is now able to be alive five years in the future.

When "future" Hiro is surprised that "present" Hiro is there is because he is actually the future version of Hiro from the timeline where Claire is not saved. He must have gone back in time to before the events leading up to the explosion began then gone forward in time again to be able to be around in the current timeline. You say he pushed himself out of the current timeline. I think it's more like he is from an alternate timeline and he pushed himself into this one.

Concerning Charlie, again it's because he goes back in time that he changes the timeline. The Charlie that they meet at first is essentially not the same Charlie that he goes back in time to save.</description>

		<description>I've gotta go with Magneto on that one.  He's behind a lot of evil, and there's no way the Professor X that I know would be party to such crimes.</description>
