- Peter can only have one power at a time... so he just threw away Hiro's cure?

Yup, pretty much

- Mohinder has super-strength (last I heard anyways) but a psych-ward jacket can hold him?
|
Niki/Jessica also had superstrength in season 1 and was also kept in check by a straightjacket. The key here, I think, is that he was incredibly disoriented and then heavily sedated while in the jacket.

- Samual managed to collect all those people of abilities in just 2 months and convinced them to join the carnaval as a way of life?
|
Those people have been in the carnival before Samuel started recruiting other people like Tracy, Claire, Peter, etc. The carnival has always been a refuge for people with abilities to live a normal life where they don't have to hide their powers. I don't think Samuel quite understands that the more specials he has around him, the more powerful he is; though the business with the compasses and the sudden change in character for him (from when he met Mohinder) might indicate that he's starting to catch on.

- Syler knows how to put himself back in his own body when they firmly established that Parkman controls his power regardless of who controls his body? How now.
|
They also established that Sylar can also use Parkman's ability while in his body, and one would think that would especially be the case when Sylar is the one in control. Keep in mind that Sylar's ability always allows him to take other peoples abilities
and understand/use them better than the people he takes them from.

- Hiro can time travel again but instead of going back and grabbing Charlie off the set of Glee... I mean grabbing Charlie before Samual can abduct her he does the badguys bidding? Or travelling to the future and asking himself where he found her and then travel to whenever she is and bringing her back to the present if you insist on obeying causality (Time travel as a plot device sucks that way, they should really just limit Hiro's ability to freezing time).
|
It took Hiro almost that entire episode to travel again, and when he showed up in Mohinder's hotel room he had a huge nose-bleed. I think it's becoming increasingly difficult for Hiro to travel, so he figured it would probably be easier and had less chance of killing him if he just went back in time once to do this guy's bidding than try and go back to save Charlie AGAIN and all the subsequent travelling he'd have to do if he at all upset the timeline.
I think they've been pretty consistent with Hiro's power this season, but I agree that time travel is always really tricky as a plot device. I also think it's really funny to compare the Hiro from "Five Years Gone" with the carefully planned out timelines to present Hiro who just travels back and forth willy-nilly.
