so in the future that we see in that episode (the future where claire is alive, lets call this Future B), why is it that sylar is also alive?
hiro claimed that he stabbed sylar and he regenerated and the bomb still went off (lets call this Future A) but since he went back in time, saved claire and then returned to the future (now B), claire is now alive and sylar never had the healing powers (until the final minutes), so what stopped him from dying on the day the bomb went off?
...
oh wait, i think i got it while typing this: by saving claire and temporarily saving isaac, isaac managed to draw the comic book showing sylar dying by hiro stabbing him, which hiro didnt actually do....
oh wait im confused again. lol D:
edit: ok after a bit more time to gather my thoughts:
in future A, sylar kills claire and isaac, hiro stabs sylar but he regenerates and the bomb goes off, hiro then goes back in time and changes the future to future B, where sylar didnt kill claire or isaac, but the bomb still managed to go off.
so future hiro is future hiro from future A and is now in future B where (when?) sylar for some reason was never stabbed by hiro in the first place, but isacc manages to draw a comic book telling hiro from future A who is now in Future B to go back in time to change past C by stabbing sylar...which would in turn...make it so future A and B never existed...and...
oh fuck im lost again. someone explain. my mind has crumbled into a soggy, mush of confusion.
edit2: and if peter never saved claire why is it that peter didnt die during the explosion in future A? they seemed to suggest that the bomb going off wouldnt kill peter because of his healing powers (think this was the previous episode), but hiro from future A made reference to peter A and the scar on his face, even though peter should only be alive in future B and hiro A should barely know him.
