I really don't know what to say, it was so kickass cool. This episode took place 5 years in the future. I love this show because it can so easily play with timelines. The past, the present, different possible futures. Time-traveling Hiro makes all things possible. This future is dark and deee-pressing.
The bomb has gone off and the government is rounding up Heroes as terrorists. Niki is Peter’s girlfriend and Peter has a nasty scar on his face and has loads and loads of awesome powers. Matt and The Haitain work for Homeland Security. Nathan is President, only eventually we find out it's not Nathan, it's Sylar - now with even better hair! Mohinder works for Nathan and he’s researching a way to reverse Heroes’ powers. They outlawed their breeding and track their movements. Damn! Nathan wants to exterminate all of them. Double damn! Bennet is working to help hide Heroes like refugees. Claire is a waitress, and her dad is also hiding her.
The story was great. I wanted to see more of the Peter/Sylar showdown, and generally some more of Peter kicking ass. I'd have been happy if they kept a couple episodes set in the future. Alas, it's back to the present with Hiro on a mission to kill Sylar.
