- The time travel thing is getting a bit ludicrous.

- Suresh's transformation... meh. OK, super strength, fine... but super strength, walking on vertical walls (spider man), and he's suddenly ripped and enjoys walking around without a shirt? WTF.
I agree the time travel is a little lame, just go back 5 minutes and don't get the stupid paper out of the safe or etc. I'd rather no time travel and just he can freeze time but oh well. Also the dual Peter's I don't care for.

I think the Suresh transformation fits, it doesn't just give powers it changes who people are, changes their nature. I see him going to the villians.

Well said Jake.

It seems that the characters only use time travel when it's convenient for plot line advancement.

Really, once futurePeter found out that things were worse after shooting Nathan, he could have gone back again and killed futurePeter... or something. It's funny that they finally acknowledge "the Butterfly Effect" after all this time.

And really, Suresh has been clearly inching towards the "dark" side for a while - shooting Noah, etc.

Time travel storylines are never a good idea. It's ruined many good movies and TV shows.

If I had to take a guess about Suresh... He will now start looking for a way to reverse the effects of the powers, "curing" both Maya and himself. This will lead him to find the formula that Hiro will utilmately get the other half of... Hiro and Suresh will then team up to get the stolen half of the formula and along the way Ando will get powers from Suresh's magic potion...

Just a guess

I lkied the first season, enjoyed the brief second season, but I thought last night's episode was kind of dumb.

It would be much better if they killed off a character once in a while and broght in new ones instead of everyone coming back to life. Stale.
Good god do I need to proofread my posts once in a while. Spelling is just terrible.

Oh well.

I predict the exact opposite, I think suresh will start making the formula wide spread because he thinks it will cure so many illnesses but causing pandemonium once normal people get a hold of such power and abuse it. It's hiros job to find the cure to eliminate people from that pandemic....the ando vs hiro scene shown is an example of what happens when people get powers and do not want to give it up.

Hmmm. Interesting also. It would explain how Ando got powers all of a sudden. Also explains his attitude. Sort of like the cocky new Suresh.
