Previous showing of the Boogeyman?

Some Truthers and I were having lunch the other day and I started a discussion about how I think that the 5 years in the future vision we've been shown could still happen given everything that's happened. All the elements are still there for it to occur. But, I digress to the real meat of this post. During that discussion, I remembered a scene from the 3rd episode of season one. In it, Parkman is being taken down to Molly by Audrey. As they exit the elevator, they realize something's not right and Audrey yells "It's Sylar!" And we're taken on a chase and certainly led to believe it is this mystery man the show has been giving glimpses about up to that point.

Fast forward to what we know now and how that scene played out. When Audrey comes around the corner and tells "Sylar" to freeze, the man turns around and forces Audrey to hold the gun to her head. Then Matt runs around the corner and plugs 4 shots into the chest of the man in the shadows and he drops. This releases Audrey and after Matt turns around from checking on her, "Sylar" is gone seemingly vanishing into thin air.

I present that this man wasn't Sylar at all and is the Boogeyman we're looking for now. My evidence is 2 fold. First, Sylar has no way to survive 4 bullets to the chest. Before you use that he could have stopped them with his TK, I say that they certainly hit him and they knocked him down. Second, Sylar hasn't shown a way to escape like the man in that scene did. The only time we've seen that escape style since is when whomever went after Angela in the police station. That presumably being the Boogeyman. Also, the Boogeyman would definitely have a use for Molly. Oh, and Molly says in that scene at the FBI, "How did he find me? How did he find me?". Given what we know about what happens when Molly thinks about the Boogeyman, I think that's even stronger evidence.

I have another theory that the Boogeyman is possibly Takezo Kensei since we don't know if those who can regenerate can ever really die. I mean, if my organs can constantly regenerate, then they'll never wear out and I'd be immortal. That theory is pretty far fetched, but I feel pretty confident in my theory about us already having been shown the Boogeyman. What do you guys think?

Catching up with Heroes

My wife and I both missed the boat on watching Heroes while it was going on last season, but with all my friends here at SnaggleTruth talking about it, I decided that we should give it a try once it hit DVD. That time has come and in the past week, we've watched the first 18 episodes of the series. We're both hooked and were so after about 3 episodes. The writing is great and gives an excellent story to follow and guess at. I can now see why Heroes was being talked about way more than LOST.

I got a suggestion from a couple of others here at SnaggleTruth to write down my predictions and observations from my first watching of the first season since I have no idea what's going to happen or anything like that. I thought that was a good idea, so I'm going to run with it.

Up till this point, I've gotten a few things right after some clues where left around. At first, the show wants to make you think Mr. Bennett is Sylar, but I recognized he wasn't ( even before the Sylar reveal ) because when he took in "special" people, he sent them back home and didn't, you know, chop the top of their heads off and eat their brains. I also noticed pretty quickly that Peter's power was to absorb the power of those around him without that nasty need to eat their brain.

The most stunning 2 reveals for me were that Nathan is Claire's father and when Hiro stops time to give Peter the "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" message on the Subway. That scene was awesome and also ended an episode! So we had to watch the next one.

The last episode we watched last night was our first actual view of Linderman, Claire's dad has had his memory messed with, but at the same time, the Company knows that he might now where Claire is after using the shape-shifter ( which I called her power when a now alive Simone walked through the door ).

Questions remaining:

Why is that the only name Mr. Bennett has is Mr. Bennett? Even when they reveal his license, it just says "Bennett" on the name line. Also, the writers made a point of pointing it out when Sylar asks Mrs. Bennett "when she expects Mr. Bennett home?" and her reply is "You all call him that? I just knew him as..." and something interrupts her. Very strange.

Did saving the cheerleader from Sylar at Homecoming save the world? I don't think so, I think she needs further saving. I think Isaac was painting the future we saw play out and that there's something else that she needs to be saved from. Maybe the Company?

Who is The Company? Who runs it from the top? My guess here is Linderman, but for what purposes, I don't know.

Can Hiro use his power to change the future by making changes in the past? The show has gone to a couple of great lengths to show us so far Hiro hasn't been able to make any changes. I'm guessing that the answer here is "maybe".

Will they be able to stop Peter from blowing up? And what ultimately makes him blow up? He's currently training to learn to control his powers, so I'm wondering what might go wrong.

So now, I'm going to try and post after each episode my changing thoughts and questions.

Harold Perrineau returning to LOST

I'm a little late on this, but Harold Perrineau ( Michael ) will be returning to his role next season on LOST. ( link )

This brings up a lot of interesting possibilities. I wonder if that means he's in flashbacks? Or if he and possibly Walt are going to come skipping back to the island? Or maybe there's some "post island" stuff we'll see much like in the season finale.

So many more questions...
