Did I miss something between "Dual" and "A Clear And Present Danger" where someone pulled Sylar out of the burning building at the end of "Dual"? How is he walking around?

No, you haven't missed anything. They simply haven't revealed that information to us yet.

Obviously he got up and was like
damn its hot in here
went somewhere, showered, picked up some clothes that he always wears
and started on his quest

Sorry, I can't tell if you were joking or not. If so, then . If not, who pulled the glass shard outa his head for him to do what you described?

Maybe the glass shard melted? XD

lol i was joking
but i assume the fire melted it out of his head

There's also the slim possibility that Sylar has regeneration on a higher level than Claire so it pushed the glass shard out.

It was already stated in season 2 by the writers that people like peter and sylar that borrow the regeneration ability are not capable to be immortal like in claires and adams case.
The reason why is because the borrowerss only activate the ability when needed while the regenerators continually regenerate the whole time no matter if the ability is needed or not. It's always on.

I also don't think that the glass melted out but I'm sure they will find somehow a excuse to keep him alive as always as long as they want to keep him in the show.

I guess that the explanation will either be show in a flashback, be told in a talking scene or we get some past episode again like "2 months ago" or something.

do you have a source of where you got this info stating that they people who borrow the ability can't be immortal like claire & adam?

Thanks

My bet is Angela let him go and sent him on his quest.

Honestly people, I don't think the answer is that hard. Angela flat out told him she knew who not only his adoptive, but also his real parents were. Angela was left alone with him after Claire stabbed him (we know this because HRG was at Claire's side moments later). Angela and Primatech keep records on people long after they "dissapear". *cut to Volume 4* Angela is overheard collaborating with Nathan. Sylar walks into an Operation Peterelli trap at his real father's home/shop.
What explanation covers all of these things: The glass melting? The coroner pulling out the shard? Or..?
*edit* MrBAT523 beat me to it, but I used way more words...!

Angela did it.

Somehow, when no one was looking, before they left she pulls it out. She needs him for something, some future she has seen.

Only explanation that I can buy even though I am not happy about it. All the damn Sylar lovers out there get their wish but I think it is terrible that the one and only way they have shown from the get go to kill someone with that ability is now thrown out. He should be gone as he was dead with something in his head and then burned. Kaput!!

I'm gonna remove melting glass as an option

When glass melts it becomes a heated liquid of molten Glass, Liquids travel along slopes and ridges and would melt into and of of his skull. Regardless of it melting it would further damage his brain, and like arthur petrelli he too would not be able to regen as parts of his brain have been physically beyond the threshold of self repair.

Basically the melting of glass works both ways, it would equally flow into his skull and burn up his brain itself.

Christ with the nit-picks, Angela removed it. At some point we will see it but she was the only one there and they mentioned dental records found at the scene which would indicate that she also had someone plant the evidence so everyone assumed he died, not too complicated. Also the fact that Nathan and Angela are both in on this grabbing heroes plot should serve as an indicator that Angela is still up to her old tricks with or without the company.

It is?

Did I miss something? I could have sworn Sylar was stabbed, not shot, and that his head remained attached to his body.

agree! and plants evidence (teeth) I'm sure ..

QFT. Angela is a sneaky little PITA huh?

Wasn't Angela.

I have a sneaking suspicion the Taxidermy Gray is the one responsible.

I was thinking that maybe Claire thought she stabbed him wrong since she's so adamant that he's still alive.


But the theory that Angela removed it makes a lot of sense to me. That woman always has something up her sleeve.

Don't worry, I missed it too. The only one I remember getting killed beyond repair was Arthur Petrelli and Knox. Possibly Meredith.

However Heroes Wiki also states that Claire stabbed him in the back of the head with a shard of glass.

Although another thought occurs to me...

Maybe Meredith survived? And she took out the shard?

Meredith taking out the shard makes NO sense at all. She would save the man who tormented her daughter, tormented her? I don't think so.

She did.

Claire & Peter are both proof of just how permanent that is. It was never claimed to be a permanent death.

It was in a interview that float around in season 2.
Not sure if it was in beemans blog of one of the episodes or questions or if it was through other writers.

I know that no one is really immortal, I just wrote it the way they did before and because we know that the possibility is there as long as their head stays on its place.

As about the glass Shard: I highly doubt that Angela would do such a thing.
Most of all after she knows that if he survives, she is going to die.
He knows the truth first hand now and she knows she can't manipulate him anymore.

Meredith or Claire wouldn't make sense at all either.

OK, I have said this before..

THE GLASS WAS FIRE PROOF! I doubt very much it could have melted away. Not totally impossible but Meredith wasn't much good against it...

Definitely Lyle. He is so mysterious.

Here's a picture of Zach Quinto with on set of "Heroes" with what looks like a bullet wound to the head.

Now how is that going to be explained if he doesn't stay dead?

"Its just a flesh wound!"

"You've got no arms or legs and a bullet in the head!"

If it is a bullet wound, it's something that hasn't happened yet.

On the other hand, it may not be. There are a few hundred ways of hurting someone and leaving a similar wound.

I dunno, Synch. I think we should be getting ready for SUPER SYLAR!

The only thing that can kill him is audience apathy.

Which I don't see happening--yet.

prander:
Tnx a lot!
