(Now will Arthur and Sylar's stolen powers come back? Will Peter and Maya's powers restart and will Mohinder's transformation continue, perhaps just reset to stage 1?)

There are theories going around heroeswiki, that Peter will start with only empathy and gain the few powers. Maya's powers were also ready gone.
 
I'm popping in at the end here without reading the thread - has anyone mentioned the scientifivc preposterousness of the eclipse itself?
Well yeah but I also noticed Daphne lives in a rather mountainous region of Kansas. What is it with Hollywod that they can't remember Kansas is FLAT? :rommie:
But another twist that would put things over the top and make him and Sylar true arch enemies is if he could keep a power if someone died in his proximity. Would Peter kill someone to take their power in the name of the greater good?
Maybe they need to give Sylar that power. Because they've destroyed the reason he needs to kill people and how boring is he going to be if he becomes innocuous. Here's hoping his true power is altering the powers of others - he did seem to change both Elle's and Claire's powers when he stole them - because that could have terrible consequences. And he wouldn't even have to open any skulls to do it, just stand next to someone and WHAMMO! Either drain the power entirely or even worse, amp it up to destructive levels.

As for Mohinder, geeze, he just needs to realize what an idiot he's been and spent the rest of his life trying to compensate for the mess.

Here's a thought, since next Volume is
Fugitives. Guilt-ridden Mohinder runs to the gubmint to blab about everything, figuring it's all such a nasty mess that, Arthur, Angela, Pineheast, Primatech, who cares, they all have to be stopped. And that would be a pretty reasonable conclusion to draw given everything that's happened, even if a lot of Mo's problems were self-inflicted.
 
I'm just disappointed by how the ability draining powers have ended up. It's basically a pyramid with Arthur at the top (able to not only mimic but steal someone else's powers and presumably knows exactly what powers someone has and how they work; he's never once had to try to learn to use one as far as we've seen), followed by Sylar (who not only can empathically steal someone's powers but also knows how everything works), and with Peter taking up the rear (can only mimic powers empathically).

It was a lot cooler when at least Sylar and Peter's powers were similar but completely different. Now Sylar can do what Peter can do plus more... and that's the only real difference. Lame.

They had the right idea when Sylar and Peter were mirror images of each other. Sylar = rationality (he learns to use powers) and Peter = emotion (absorbs powers by recalling how the person who uses the power affects him emotionally). Both those rationales have been left in the dust.
 
Ok, here's the big question no one (As far as I could see) has asked yet...

Who the hell is now writing the 9 Wonders comic book? It looks like Issac is still doing it, since the art looks the same and the comics still tell the future, but Issac has been dead for over a year now and we saw him draw/send out his final issue (the one when Hiro stabs Sylar).

So, who is the hidden person with the same powers as Issac who took over doing that comic? And who draws the same style as Issac.

Is this just another, in the now long and glorious list of fu@k-ups the writers have been making?
 
Actually the 9th Wonders thing is easy to explain away. Some time traveller or other (could be Arthur, Peter, Gabriel or Hiro, or maybe somebody we don't even know about yet) goes to the future, draws a bunch of comic books about stuff he remembers from the past, and bops back to deliver each month's issue. Doesn't even have to be a precog.

Or some time traveller from the future grabs Isaac from the past, and drags him off to the future before Sylar kills him, and Isaac is happily drawing away in the future. Or the past, in his case it wouldn't matter.

Here's a far more important question: if Daphne lives in Kansas, where did the mountains surrounding her family's farm come from? ;)

African Precog Guy had an identical power and an identical art style (based upon what he painted on the rocks), and it's an ability that's apparently been in his family that's also apparently easily duplicated through the use of drugs.

In other words, the artistic style seems to come with the power... a power which is one of the most common ones we've seen in the show.
 
^ Hiro teleported a lot more than Ando and Matt there.

Maybe Daphne has a brother with the power to alter landscapes? ;)
Or maybe they know more about Kansas than other people. Mountain Peaks of Kansas.

That was still pretty obviously California. ;) The Coast Range doesn't resemble anyplace in Kansas I've ever seen.

I Googled up a couple photos of that so-called Mount Sunflower. Maybe they have a different definition of "mountain" in Kansas? :p

Mount Sunflower!

Woo woo, "highest point in Kansas!"

Honestly, I'm not trying to make fun of Kansas, this is just kinda cute. And until Monday comes, we're just blathering anyway. :rommie:

They are the gradual sloping kind of mountains that sneak up on ya!:lol:
 
Wow, even the Ramapo mountains in NJ are more mountain-like than that! I won't feel so bad any more when people in Colorado make fun of the Appalachians.
