Just some things I was think about.

   People accounted for in the company photo: Angela Petrelli, Bob, Kaito Nakamura, Charles Deveaux, Mr. Linderman, Maury Parkman and Victoria Pratt. Who are the other people and which one is daddy Petrelli? 

    

   The Haitian is wearing the same necklace he gave Peter in the cargo trailer in the company man episode during the 17 years ago scene after clearing Noah’s wife’s memory.

    

   Nikki and Peter have the same symbol as Kensei’s sword and the Haitians necklace. What does the symbol represent? 

    

   Claude quotes Adam “For the Greater Good” in season 1.

    

   Why did Kaito think Adam wouldn’t be the one to kill him? Kaito is the one who took the virus and put it away.

    

   Charles Deveaux last name is French, which could tie into the New Orleans story line with Nana Dawson.

    

   How come Mohinder doesn’t realize he used the Shanti virus on Nikki; was it the Shanti virus? Shanti virus is supposed to be under lock and key at this moment, if that’s what strain 138 is.

    

   Who dosed the Haitian and why did Mohinder’s blood cure him and not Nikki? What virus was he given?

    

   Nikki hasn’t really shown any signs of sickness from this Virus at this time. Is it the Shanti virus and how come no one else is getting sick since this virus is suppose to spread and kill 93% of the population.

    

   When Claude tried to tell Noah about The Company in season 1 Noah didn’t listen. Now Noah is telling the same thing to Mohinder but Mohinder doesn’t listen or is he?

   Where to start?

   The questions about the original 12 are good ones, but we may never get the answers because they copped out with a blanket statement from Matt Parkman that the rest are already dead and therefore inconsequential. Mr. Petrelli is the one standing beside Mrs. Petrelli, with his head turned sideways.

   Ths symbol, I believe, is a half-helix (think of that twisted ladder shape of DNA). It is also the symbol of Takezo Kensei and we are told it is interpreted as Godsend. It is prominent throughout the show, from the Haitian's neckalce to the logo of Linerman's company and Mr. Petrelli's law firm. It also appears on the cover of Chandra Mohinder's book, over the door of the antique shop in Montreal. It's everywhere.

   I'm guessing Kaito wasn;t expecting Adam to be his killer because last he saw of Adam was 30 years when he locked him up and threw away the key.

   The Shanti virus is actually named after Mohinder's little sister, who was killed by it. Mohinder's blood is the antidote or cure. Strain 138, I think, is a mutated version of the Shanti virus to which Mohinder's blood is no longer effective (but Adam's and Claire's is). The Haitian was infected with the Shanti virus, but how he was infected I have no idea. It was in Niki that Mohinder realized there is a mutated strain of the virus and that he was no longer the cure.

   Since Adam or Claires blood can cure the mutated strain by regeneration, could Peters? Just a thought....

   Good point kilbasa. It should be able to. No reason to believe Peter would absorb just the regeneration ability without the curing properties of the blood.

   In most instances, the symbol can merely be traced to Adam/Kensei. Since he was integral in bringing the founders of the company together, it simply became the symbol of the company. We've been told it's also been used as the symbol of Arthur Petrelli's law firm. The Haitian may wear it as a sign of his loyalty to the Petrellis (particularly Angela), which seems to override any other loyalty, including to the company. His working with HRG to protect Claire is an extension of this. The company has been experimenting with the virus for 30 years. Strain 138 is the most virulent in that it is airborne, lethal, and incurable. The original strain came from Mohinder's sister, Shanti. Molly and the Haitian were infected with this strain or one close enough to it. This/These strain/s are curable via a transfusion of Mohinder's blood. It does not appear to be nearly as virulent as strain 138 which apparantly can infect the regular human population, not just those with powers. Niki was infected by a mutated strain resistant to Mohinder's blood. We know the Haitian was healthy and in possession of his powers a few weeks prior to being cured by Mohinder. It's possible that symptoms take a few weeks (or even months) to develop, so Niki's symptoms may not have kicked in yet. Alternately, Niki's strain may be closer to Bob's stated goal of developing a strain that merely removes powers, and isn't lethal. It's still lethal, but takes much longer to kill than what the Haitian had. Part of the problem is that we don't know when/how the Haitian was exposed, so we don't know its progression. Was he already infected when he wiped Peter's memory or after? I don't know if it was ever revealed when/how Molly was infected in season 1.

   Good point Carl...it seems that there has been 3 levels of Infection shown so far...

   Molly/Haitian and maybe Sylar - probably all got the first version of the virus - Curable by Mohinders blood.

   Niki and maybe Sylar- were infected with a different strand virus...but its not super lethal i suppose but capable of permanently surpressing powers..

   The last virus is the 138 one which will wipe out the whole population.  Which Adam and Peter are going for. 

   I keep getting lost in how many viruses there are...

   just a quick one,

   Claire's, Adams and Peter's blood CAN'T cure the virus!!!!!

   There blood made Mohinder's blood stronger and therefore made the antidote stronger.

   There are many virus strains but it seems that 138 is the real bitch, the one Adam is hellbent on getting.

   Just because its "the real bitch" doens't mean they cant cure it. Pete's might not be able to, but Claire/Adam's can for sure. He wouldnt' risk killing himself...

    I agree with Random Dude..Adam/Peter and even Claires Blood has to be able to cure the new 138 killer virus..why would Adam unleash it upon the world and himself if he didnt have that capability.  Thats Retarded I think!!!!!
