Although I love this show, I am starting to get a little irritated about the big concept that has been referenced so many times. Everyone remembers when the future version of Hiro came back in time to Peter and said “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” So what does Peter do? He goes and saves the cheerleader. Hiro, in his past version, is all about saving the world and all the heroes themselves are trying to save a bomb from exploding in New York and thus, the world will be saved. Um, I don’t think so. I am sitting her scratching my head and wondering what they are talking about. The whole series, up to this point, is attempting to stop Sylar and to stop a bomb from going off in New York. NEW YORK!!! Even if they fail to stop the bomb from going off, New York is blown up, not the entire world. I fail to see how the world is in peril from the bomb going off nor do I see how saving the cheerleader saves the world. Sylar might get powers to regenerate his wounds if he kills Claire, but it has been proven that Claire can still die. Sylar, in the future, is pretending to be Nathan and therefore is the President of the United States. He still had not killed Claire and yet, he still had the capacity to cause the world problems. Claire is very minor when it comes to the world being in jeapordy and the bomb going off does not cause the world to suddenly be in danger.

So unless, Hiro has seen something happen in the future that has never been revealed to us, I fail to see how saving Claire saved the world from disaster. I think they should be trying to stop the bomb to prevent New York City from exploding, granted, but even that is not going to put the world in danger. It’s confusing, also, how Hiro has to be the one who kills Sylar and that by doing so, the bomb does not go off and New York is saved. Um..once again, that is not true as we have learned from flash back, and Peter admitting it himself, and the pictures painted that foretell the future, that is is actually Peter who explodes. Therefore, killing Sylar is not going to stop the bomb from going off. Also, the pictures have always come true exactly as they are shown and it has been painted that New York is going to explode leaving me to believe there is no way to stop it. If they do, there will be yet another inconsistency in the show. As tight as they are trying to make everything seem and how important they are attempting to make the heroes themselves, they need to be realistic. Even Linderman wants the bomb to go off so apparently Sylar is not the only villain attempting to make sure these disastrous events occur. So once they can manage to save the bomb from going off, if they can, they need to take out Linderman as much as Sylar. Sylar, on the other hand, should be dealt with before he gets Claire or even afterwards as the world is not going to change as a result of either event happening. Instead of saying, “Save the cheerleader, save the world” it really should say “Save the cheerleader, save New York City!”
