Linderman!

You never see Linderman, he is always in the middle of things (the painting, etc.)

Thats my thoughts, add to it!

Hmmmmm good thought i was thinking that 2

Nope. Linderman seems too supportive of the Heroes at this point. Campaign contributions, buying paintings, helping out with debt. I'm thinking he's his own character and sylar is...sylar.

I don't doubt that he's somehow related (non-familially) to Sylar. He probably funded the project where Sylar is referred to as "Patient Zero".

Hmm, very possible. That painting is how he finds Claire, and learns about Issac who painted it...

This seems most likely. I would have to agree w/ you at this point.

What's wrong with being supportive of their careers? If anything, he's trying to get them to focus on regular life, rather than being a hero.

Be a painter, or a politician. Not a flying man or a fortune teller. And in Nathan's case, it's working.

Out on a limb but I have said it before. HRG= Linderman

While I'm inclined to belive that HRG = HRG, Sylar = Sylar and Linderman = Linderman if I was going to believe that Linderman was anybody elses alter-ego it'd be HRG.

It seems Linderman is trying to pull everyone to Sin City...
A possible Trap?


BTW Vogon Poet is probably the most awesome screen name EVER

The fact that Linderman is helping Nathan has nothing to do with him just helping Nathan for the hell of it. Nathan said himself that Linderman is giving him money for his own personal gain. He's helping Nathan as much as he's helping himself.

Also, HRG cannot be Linderman because Nathan must have already seen Linderman, in order to do a deal with him. If Linderman WERE the same as HRG, don't you think he'd use his money and power to capture Nathan, rather than a dude who can erase minds?

Speaking of MBG... since when did we discover he was Haitian? From what I've seen on the show, there was no proof of where he came from. For all we know, he could be Belgian. So where did we coin the term of him being Haitian?

i think sylar works for linderman, his henchmen
thats why sylar knows to go to odessa
im thinking Linderman is connected to all the heroes, because Sylar has a map of where to find them all. So he knows which people hes dealing with have abilities, and he has a plan for them.

Linderman is Peter and Nathans Dad. Their Dad is some hobo. The hobo is George Bush. George Bush is an alien. That alien is Sylar. You're right.

Linderman is rich. Sylar was living in a dump. Why would a rich mobster type live in a dump?

Sylar is not Linderman.

I think Linderman's character may be closer to someone like "King Pin" in the "Spiderman" and "Dare Devil" comics. He is a supposed mobster.

I can see Linderman and Bennett trying to put together opposing groups together. Kind of a X-Man thing.

Sylars appartment wasnt too bad, and anyways Sylars appartment was in Ny, where as Linderman appears to live in LA, so i dont see linderman being sylar anyways

I thought the same thing too when I was watching the show. We would be expecting some 400+ lb. guy in a grey suit to be revealed as Linderman and then watch them switch it on us and Mr. Linderman is played by none other than Verne Troyer (Mini Me)! Hey it could happen!

If that is true, then that means Linderman has a boss, because when HRG is in India rummaging around, he gets a phone call from someone who wants to know what is going on. An underling wouldn't call him, but his boss would.

Since it seems that Linderman is the big cheese, I don't see how HRG could be Linderman.

This isnt "Days of our Lives"!

Not everyone has an alter-ego!

geesh!

Sylar is Sylar, Linderman is Linderman, HRG is CLAIRES FRIGGIN DAD!

LOL!

If you are interested, there are some spoilerific pictures floating around of who might be playing Sylar.


That said, I don't know. It seems like Linderman could be Sylar, but I don't think so. I think Linderman is a completely different force to reckon with. If he was Sylar, why wouldn't he have decapitated Niki long ago?




Well, kinda..

Thank you. Not only is it awesome, but it reflects on the quality of my poetry as well.

After someone mentioned the idea of opposing superhero teams, I had an interesting idea.

This show seems like it's sort of going to develop into a comic book eventually, unless they keep it interesting. Now, it will be a more dramatic comic book without the wonderful influences of the CCA, but a comic book it will be. I think that right now what we are seeing is the first heroes developing. In other words, what the gen. 1 x-men went through. There are no organizations yet, apart from whoever HRG is working for. I can see there being a team of subversive vigilante heroes (funded by Linderman) and a team of government-sanctioned heroes (funded by taxpayer money, this advertisement paid for by the commission to reelect Nathan Petrelli, etc.). That way we could deal with complex political issues.

I can also see the group HRG (or Linderman, for that matter) is working for wanting to harvest the DNA of diferent people to examine it and see if they can make medical advances. Hence, they send Sylar around to collect samples of the DNA of various heroes. Then we've got another complex political issue--stem cells. Do we sacrifice the life of one person to regenerate another person's liver? I'm not making any judgements here--i don't want to bring politics into this forum, but it is interesting, isn't it? One of the reasons 24 has been popular is because of the political issues.

Sean Bean

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813715/fullcredits

Doesn't have him as anyone else so...

Sylar is 006

Sean bean has been debunked. His peeps have actually come out and said, NO, he isn't playing Sylar (although I bet they wish he was!)

As for Sylar, well, as you wish...

Thread with all the goods... VERY SPOILER FILLED

I think Sylar is a special hitman for people with superpowers. He had that map of all those superheroes. Perhaps he's stealing brains for a lab to study. He's also has the superpower to subdue most people.

Linderman is very wealthy, Sylar's apartment was not that of a wealthy man. It doesn't seem like Linderman's agenda is to outright kill superheroes anyway, just to use them for his own personal gain. Sylar may or may not work for him.

I just don't see a wealthy man like Linderman doing the dirty work of his operation. Linderman may, in fact, have superpowers, but I don't see him putting himself in a situation where he could be directly linked to a murder.
