Lots of questions from this one, to be sure. Exactly when did Sylar kill Nathan and supplant him? Future Hiro told HRG he wanted help from DL, Candice, and Molly Walker, as he brought them to HRG. Sylar manifested both DLs and Candice's ability - is HRG in league with Sylar? Was his work compromised? Or is Future Hiro in league with Sylar/Linderman? What ability could Molly Walker posess that would make her the only one who can stop Sylar? (She was the little girl Matt found in Episode 2 if your memory needs a refresher). How could Nathan/Linderman have convinced/blackmailed Peter to blow up the city?
Micah (sp?) seems dead in this future. As does DL (as evidenced by Sylar earlier).
I'm curious how Peter got that scar as well - a heated confrontation with Future Hiro, perhaps? Maybe Hiro froze time after Peter got cut? Who knows...it was neat to see the scar after the reference from way back in the early part of the season.
I'm confused as to why Sylar would continue the masquerade as Nathan for so long...he spoke of "eliminating the competition" when he confronted Peter at the end of the episode. It seems after he killed Claire that he was satisified with the abilities he had, but I'm not sure what he would gain from quarantining the other Heroes for so long. Neat twist though.
I loved the blurring of the "good guys" and "bad guys" in this episode. Matt has taken a turn for the worse but is technically a good guy as part of Homeland Security. Hiro is considered a terrorist. Peter tried to save the world, but blew up half of NYC. HRG was helping refugees with abiliites after hunting people with abilities for so long. Very cool touches.
Peter is a badass.

Hmm... well I knew Peter was the bomb... and didn't mention any where that Sylar was the bomb.
What confused me was that Sylar is still alive, implying that he took Claire's regenerating power. If he did this... how was Claire still alive in the most recent episode, which takes place in the future?
As for Sylar continuing to take on Nathan's identity, I think it's because it makes it a whole lot easier for him to come into contact with heroes and take their powers, since he has a team of men in homeland security out there specifically tracking them down and capturing them for him.
