1. The Butterfly Effect

   Mmmmm..... Brains. 

   I figure that Sylar nabbed the brains so that he could do an inspection at his leisure - better than hanging around with the body waiting for the cops to show.  Afterwards he just tosses them.  I know, a mind is a terrible thing to waste....

   I still think that it would have been more clever to have the shooter by FNathan, but whateva.  I like the new evil Peter way more than last season's "mentally challenged" Peter.

   Mike - yeah I was totally taken aback by the "Fly" ripoff or whatever was going on with Mohinder.  The whole thing seemed cribbed straight from Goldblum's portrayal.  Now Mohinder is mutating - was there a fly in the syringe or something?  Jeez.

   For me the reboot was hit and miss, with the Mohinder storyline being the low point.  The Hiro plotline was not very compelling either.  I was relieved that Ali Larter's new character was actually not annoying, although it is only a matter of time before wimpy Niki is back.

   Again....

   Of course it would have to be Peter or Hiro that would bring Nathan back from one possible future - (see Hiro taking Ando thru time).....

   My thoughts on this when I proposed it a while back were the same as Neko's - the press conference alerts the world to the presence of hero-types and there is a terrible crackdown with the powers that be either whacking heros or trying to figure out what makes them "tick".....

   I realize that its an unlikely solution, but I think it is more interesting than many of the other possibilities.....

3. What Type of Villains do you want to see!!!!!!

   How about a villain/hero with the ability to permanently eliminate another hero's powers?  He/she touches them and they become normal.

4. What Type of Villains do you want to see!!!!!!

   I think it would be interesting to see a hero/villain with some horribly omniscient power, like the Billy Mummy character in that twilight zone episode (no, not the Walter Mathau episode, the other one with the Jack-in-the-box).  Just some crazy ultrapowerful menace that is out of his/her gourd.

   And to follow up to alushi's comment...

   If it were up to me, I would not have had any character with the ability to travel in time.  However, its a big part of the show - hell, Hiro was mucking around with Monroe in feudal Japan for half of season two.  So, as long as it is there, I say use it.  I think the idea of Future Nathan having to kill his old self off raises some interesting questions - why would he do such a thing?  What was the horrble consequence of Nathan's revelation that required such drastic action? 

   The only other options are:  1)  Pasdar is off the show - weak and 2) magic blood - lame.

   First, of course it is Hiro or Peter that brings him back - come on.

   Second, Heores plainly follows time-travel rules that allow for exactly this kind of thing - think about it.  Future Hiro came back to tell Peter to STC from a future that he wound up eradicating.  If we stuck to your logic, then Future Hiro could have never come back in the first place, as he would not have existed (at least in his grim, ass-kicking persona). 

   It is only an apparent paradox if you assume that there is only one possible timeline (see 12 Monkeys).  In most time-travel stories, the time-traveller is relatively insulated from the consequences of his meddling.  For example, in Back to the Future, Marty McFly's personality did not radically change as a consequence of his meddling (unlike his siblings).  Terminator 2 allowed for a similar apparent paradox (although T3 sheepishly backed off of this concept to squeeze out another sequel).

   I still think that it should be a future version of Nathan that kills himself.  It could work on so many levels.....

   Future Nathan would have some key knowledge about future events and he could drop hints, build suspense and be engaged in a mysterious, confusing agenda...

   Adrian Pasdar gets to unload, portraying a grimmer, more focused and determined version of his character...

   We get to see that future Nathan has developed his flying ability into something even more extraordinary...

   Best of all, we get to keep a solid actor and character on the show without using any magic blood..

   Anyhow, just my $0.02...

8. Support Nathan Petrelli!

   Another vote for Petrelli...

   Adrian Pasdar's portrayal of Nathan has been compelling and I feel that the show would be considerably less interesting without him around.  I wish that we had spent more time with his character this season.

   Anyhow, right off the top of my head I can think of a handful of ways to keep him on the show:

   1.  Peter uses his/Claire's magic blood to revive Nathan, but the affair is kept a secret.  Nathan ships off to Japan where he links up with Hiro and Ando where they begin to investigate the Company's past so they (and the viewers) can start to get a grip on what the Company's aims really are.  Their investigations also turn up some startling facts about Ma and Pa Petrelli.

   2.  Undeterred by the assassin's actions, Peter immediately turns to the cameras and says, "My name is Peter Petrelli.  My brother, Nathan, realized that it was time for the world to know the truth.  The truth is that there are people out there, people that are waking up to the fact that they can do incredible, impossible things.  We don't understand it, and I can't really explain it, but I can show you."  He then Sylar's off one of his fingers to everyone's horror and plugs the bleeding stump into one of Nathan's bullet holes. A shocked world watches as Natahn is revived.  It turns out to be a good thing that the heroes get the word out first, as Sylar and his team of baddies take their campaign of destruction public.  Pandora's box indeed.

   3.  My Favorite.  The shadowy assassin was.....wait for it....Nathan!  Nathan comes back from the future via Hiro or Peter where the terrible fallout from his announcement has convinced him that he must stop himself from giving his fateful speech at all costs.  Grim future Nathan steps in to replace naive Nathan on the show.  Future Nathan has a hidden agenda though, related to some of the terrible things that he learned in the future, and he pursues a mysterious course of action that makes for strange alliances.....

   I do agree that the magic healing blood has created some problems for the show.  Still, if you want to off someone, you can always go for the decap.  Gruesome, but Sylar has popped enough tops that it would not be out of character for him to "permanently" eliminate his enemies.

   Anyhow, just my $0.02. 

   PS - yeah, I know that Future Nathan killing off his past self appears to create a paradox, but all his actions do is eliminate his own future timeline - just like Future Hiro's timeline was eradicated.  Hey - the show plays loose with the paradoxes - get over it.
