I just wanted to comment on the theories that Hiro can jump around time and fix his, or others', mistakes. I think they clearly showed in Season One that this is beyond his capacity -- that basically events are pre-ordained and he can't alter what has already happened. He tried to save that waitress from Sylar, but found out she was going to die anyway. So while the method may differ, the outcome is still the same. Yes, the Heroes were able to avoid the prophecy that an exploding man was going to demolish New York, but if you remember Hiro had to come back from the future and have someone else enact the chain of events to avoid the catastrophe. There must have been a reason Samurai Hiro from Five Years Later couldn't have saved the cheerleader himself, and it is likely the same reason why he couldn;t save the watiress and why he can;t change what has transpired between him and Kensei.
