So Peter can only absorb one power at a time.
And Hiro can stop time, but he cannot travel through it.
The altering of various abilities has left a few Heroes fans confused; but in a new interview with TV Guide, Masi Oka tries to explain what the show is doing.
"There are basically two directions," said Oka. "A lot of people are getting new levels to their powers. Like Matt Parkman, who can now draw the future. But people like Peter and Sylar perhaps have become too powerful, so they're trying to scale it back down."

I understand it, but Peter and Hiro were my fave, and taking away their powers (which were the coolest on the show) was a bad move, writers. Bad move. Let Tough and Go Toddler give them back their original powers.

I meant, TouCH and Go Toddler. ;-)

I agree with you, it was a very bad move. Peter and Hiro should receive their powers back.

SMART MAN MASI!!!!!
FK TIME TRAVEL...Thats what FKD the show up in the first place. If Peter is to receive all his powers he better not get that back. I Like the fact that Hiro can only Freeze Time.
SMART MOVE WRITERS with Hiro!!!

Don't act like everyone wants Hiro and Peter back at full power :P
I love this choice by the writer's personally. They were getting too strong (especially Peter), to the point where any real plotline could be solved by badass Peter coming in and using all his powers to save the day. Same goes for Hero -- even stopping time is a huge power to have, but being able to go back and time and change anything just kills suspense in the show. It was cool in season one where it was used to set the stage for the rest of the season (going forward in that case), but I'm glad it's gone now.
Even if the majority doesn't like this (who knows if that's actually true), good for the writers for doing something that could potentially be unpopular for the good of the plot.

NO I DONT AGREE WITH U PETER AND HIRO NEED HEIR POWERS BACK AHORA!!!! :]

Simple solution, give Peter, Hiro and Sylar back their full powers. End up with Peter and Sylar facing off against each other in a huge showdown which looks to end in a New York type disaster as they both go nuclear. Hiro teleports in, stops time and zaps them back to the dinosaurs where they go boom in a mega explosion.... Hiro leaves to go wandering through history while Peter and Sylar survive cos' of their healing powers and influence history because of their immortality thus giving rise to earths legends of Gods and Heroes.
Then you can swing it back into the present day where Peter and Sylar are still out there, influencing what is happening from behind the scenes. Each with their own agenda...
Just a thought.
