Spoilers from Kristin @ E!:
* This statement is still true: A cutie-pie blonde in a new romance is going to die, and at first she'll seem to be done for, but then we will learn that it's all a cover-up—she's still breathing. Elle just got roasted by Sylar. Is she the blonde in question—or is there someone else who qualifies?* Peter will not be without abilities for too much longer. In fact, sources tell me he'll be flying high within a few short episodes.
* In the Fugitives volume we'll see that creating supersoldiers isn't Nathan and Tracy's primary objective. They're less interested in engineering than they are in command and control issues. Think Guantanamo Bay, only their version of Camp X-Ray actually has people who can do X-rays with their brains...
* Despite all the news today about NBC's reorganization, Heroes remains one of the Peacock net's biggest 18-49 draws, so it will continue to be one of the network's flagship series—and Bryan Fuller is back on board. Holler!
What did you guys think?
I'm sad we lost Elle... I loved her character... but it seems really obvious she's really dead now...
... so some other blonde dies... but isn't dead for long... Tracy?...
... and wasn't this episode supposed to be called "War"... some other sites had it also listed as "Duality"
Well while I still can't wait for Peter to get his powers back. If it's just Nathan's flight and not his original ability or just something else decent I'd rather he not even have a power at all.
Sorry I just always really really hated flight and see it as a nearly useless power.
And yes I realise its what saved New York in the season 1 finally but seriously how many ways can flying really make you a hero on its own without a planned story line like that? 😬

My guess is when peter gets his power back....it will be re-booted...so i think he will have no powers at first then Nathan is the first one he comes in contact with...or in the same area...i doubt he will just have flying..but who knows..
I dont think the previews help me to think the next episode will be a good one...but one can only hope!
Originally posted by starlockThat's my best hope. What sucks is there are still allot of awesome powers that died with Arthur.

Well until they feel the need for someone else to show up with them. For instance I'd always wanted to see Peter command someone to stop, and not even realising he'd had it use Eden's power of suggestion.
Originally posted by Captain REXAll I know is I completely understand where Peter is coming from with both points.
I'm not even sure if Peter will want to inject himself. He is trying to destroy the formula so that nobody can use it. But the temptation of getting his powers back might tempt him.
He wants his powers back to be the hero again and to try and prove to himself and especially his family that he's more than they've always seen him as.
At the same time stopping the formula is something that needs to be done dramatically. Why Nathan's retarded ass doesn't see this is beyond me. (Well its not since we all knows its just to farther their current story plot) I mean what if someone that got the formula turned into the next Charles Manson, Jack the Ripper or Adolf Hitler. I mean yea sure "Captain America" seems all great to Nathan now but who really knows what he'll become with that kinda power. I mean sure maybe he really will be the all American hero Nathan is dreaming of but what are the odds he's going to overcome all that temptation and be so good?
Sure just letting random individuals gain random powers isn't really all that save either but its not something they can really control. at least not without risking a huge pandemic virus that would nearly wipe out the entire human race all over again. But at least its not something they can control where as this is. I mean a Manson or Hitler is horrible no matter what but is a random coincidence nearly as bad as have actually been responsible for it?
So I guess what I'm saying is in Peter's situation I'd have to admit I'd be somewhat of the hypocrite. I'd fully realise the problems and risk in giving anyone an ability no matter how much you'd think you could trust them but at the same time after having had such power I don't think I could resist the temptation to take the one last shot before I destroyed the formula forever.
Now, if put in the situation of having to choose between the two I'd then realise in order to do what is right I'd have to sacrifice the thing I'd want the most. Hopefully thou in doing so I could gain what I've always wanted most after all. To become the hero.
