Five Years Gone

What a trippy episode. Showing us how the future turns out if they don't stop the explosion is very interesting. Most of my questions remain, but a couple of new ones popped up.

At what point did Sylar kill Nathan and take his power? Was it before the explosion or after? At what point did he kill Candice to take her shape-shifting power?

Also, there's a paradox problem with the timeline. If Claire has survived in this 5 years forward, that means that Sylar couldn't have regenerated and would be dead since Hiro supposedly stabs him in the past. But since we also know that it's actually Peter that blows up, I wonder if Peter had been near Candice to get her shape-shifting power to make himself look like Sylar before he blew up? Thus convincing Hiro it was Sylar all along and making him believe he had the cheerleader's power?

I'm still convinced that they are trying to show it's impossible to change the future. But I'm guessing since we don't want the future painted in this episode to come true, that Hiro will have to find a way to really change it.

Only 3 more episodes for this to play out. It might be a late night.
