They didn't explain it, claire just said sylar store her life.

I think Claire ran away from home and sylar learned to control his hunger.

Sylar been to dat house so many times guess he just felt it to be cozy, ya dig?

They don't explain a lot of things like this whenever they flash to the future, you just have to use your imagination.

Here is an "out there" theory. Noah the child is actually HRG Noah. Somehow he met up with a hero who turned him into a child and his new partner Sylar is raising him. Or the blood that healed him is Claire's and not Adam's and it is making him age backwards.

NEO, you clearly have a lot of questions to ask (and that's great!) but surely it might be a good idea to combine them all into one thread?

Maybe Sylar becomes like a son to Noah.

I know it's far-fetched, but I wondered the same thing, except I thought maybe the child Noah would end up traveling back in time and grow up to be HRG. Then we'd have a classic "I am your father!" moment between Sylar and HRG.

"Noooooooooooo! That's not true! That's impossible!" - HRG

could it be possible that Sylar just simply had sex with somoene and was in a relationship (probably to keep his mind off the "hunger" and then had a Kid and named him after Noah because he grew close to Noah

This reverse Noah thing is too crazy...Sylar wouldn't have cared that much if it was mini-HRG, he would if it was his real son however though, it upset him enough to blow up

Did they say it was Sylar's kid? He could just be living there and taking care of HRG's new kid that he named after himself.

So you're saying that fSylar had grown close enough to HRG to name his son after him, but he wouldn't have cared for him if he actually was mini-HRG? You contradicted yourself.

A lot of things can happen in the span of four years. And living in the house of a girl you once wanted/managed to kill with a son named after her father is one of them.

(Little) Noah called Peter, "Uncle Peter," but with all of the mixed up families on Heroes . . . well, who knows. Those Petrellis get around.

Golly...it's been awhile! I had a new Heroes fan! She's two months old now! Anyway...I had the exact same thought! Maybe HRG met someone with the ability to control aging...either make them older or younger. It would be kinda cool..and you wouldn't have to fight a baby Because the kid is about 4 years old, and it's 4 years in the future so the mother would have to be pregnant already, or getting pregnant very soon..Go Sylar!

I think I know the answer.

The Bennets (excluding Claire) were killed by Sylar, without Claire knowing that. Sylar convinced Claire that Peter killed them. Claire decided to join forces with Sylar to go war against Peter. Claire and Sylar then get married, moved into the Bennet house and got a baby boy named Noah. Both of them day by day go and track Peter, but just couldn't kill him. When Sylar knows that Knox been banging Claire, Sylar turned from the dark side to the good side. Sylar eventually gives up, and he wants to be a daddy at home. Sylar and Claire divorce. They go to the court and the judge ordered the house to be given to Sylar. They become sworn enemies.

Gabe + Elle = Noah

Gabe n Elle live in the Bennet home with Bennet so as to keep tabs on Gabe so his hunger doesnt go unchecked.

Claire goes into the Special SS to hunt down Peter for something that turned her into a murderous brunette.

my 2 cents. lol

Er...no FClaire hates FPeter because he is the head terrorist of natural born specials like Magneto.

FPeter ordered a bombing killing 200 people in her office in Pinehearst.

Again she was traumatised by that.

She's doing this avewnge those who died.

This is one of the most "On Crack" (if you will) post that i have read in a long time and i hope that you are in fact NOT right.

nothing personal.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL REASON.

The writers wanted to show a kindly, gentler, domestic Sylar. In a house. The show has the Bennet's house as a set. So they used the set they already had instead of making a new one. It saves money. Why do you think Mohinder's lab is in Issac's apartment? Same reason - because the set was already there.

Thats kind of a kill joy attitude. I agree in theory, but its still kinda kill joy-ish.

Well I'm glad to know that the set is still around 4 years into the future. That means Heroes is going to be around a good long while!

Kill joy? It is without a doubt, the actual reason for why they used the Bennet's house. Or 99% of the reason why.

What's the matter, you don't like the truth?
Are you against extremely plausible and likely answers just because you find them boring?

No.

I'm against extremely unlikely and ridiculous answers because I find them lame.

There are over a dozen houses they've used on the show. They could have had the scene take place in any of them and have it work.

No... they pretty obviously had the scene take place in the Bennet's house fo *gasp* plot purposes.

I would say that house was used for the same reason the child was named Noah, to emphasize the lovey dovey relationship between Gabriel and HRG in the future. The fact that Gabriel was living there also indicates HRG may not still be alive, so it all seems to be just foreshadowing. That and they had the set already

Probably because Sylar and/or Elle bonded with HRG and one thing led to another and HRG either gave them the house when he died or they took it upon themselves to live there.

There is a DIFFERENCE between houses they've used and permanent sets they have on hand. They built the Issac's Loft set - they continue to use it. They built the Bennet House set when the family moved last year... now they continue to use it. They DON'T HAVE a dozen house sets on hand. They have the Bennet house. It would make no sense at all for them to go out to a real house and film there, or build a new set when they just as easily could use the Bennet House. The fact that it fits in ok with the plot is secondary (as observed by sorry excuse for a lab Mohinder has).

Doesn't really prove your point.

We've been inside several houses and apartments, and have seen the exteriors of even more.

Which means there was a plot driven reason to have Sylar in that house as opposed to any of the others they have available.

Do you have a reading disability? Or are you purposely missing my point? Sure, there are houses 'available' for filming because Heroes is a show which is filmed on.. Planet Earth. But gee, don't you know, that different options can vary widely in price. You seem to ignore the show's budget, which is actually a big deal. My point was they have a full house set on the lot. One full house set. If they wanted Sylar to be in a house raising a kid, in the future, there is no reason to spend lots of extra time and money finding a new location and traveling out there to shoot. Or spending lots of time and money building a whole new set. That's just simple freaking common sense.

The only reason that scene WOULDN'T take place in the Bennet house is if there was a story reason NOT to do so. So you have it backwards. The Bennet Set was merely compatible with the Future Sylar plot. That's all.

Agreed... In fact, if they want to use a random and more plausible home, they could have used Peter's apartment, since fSylar and fPeter appears to be closed enough for fPeter to let him live in there... Or even the Petrelli house itself...

Or, they could have just do some minor re-dressing of the Odessa Bennet house set and call it a new house...

So I think they used the Costa Verde Bennet house of a reason...
