one other thing

So everyone knows what Peter can do, right? He absorbs everybody's power, which more or less makes him the guy with the coolest power, because he can do everything. And everybody, or at least everybody who thinks Peter is dead, knows that he was around Claire a lot. And in case you forgot, Claire can regenerate after she gets hurt and stuff. I mean, she got a branch stuck in her head, died, they took her to the morgue, cut her open for an autopsy... and she survived. She was lying on a table in the MORGUE. She was all sliced open and gross looking, but she lived. She was able to heal after they took the branch out of her head. So Peter has that power. Right? Following? Ok, so, fast forward to the episode last season where Mohinder brought a "dead" Peter to the other Petrellis. He had a shard of glass stuck in his head and looked completely dead. But we, in the audience, were all going "just take the glass shard out of his head! Come on! He'll be fine!" Remember that? And then Claire was like "oh, a glass shard, let's take that out" and she did, and then Peter woke up? And he was fine? Remember? Well apparently no one else remembers that. Because if they remembered that they would know that Peter could not possibly be dead. He can't die! Unless, I guess, he blew up into a bizillion little pieces, but we also know that didn't happen, because in the future, the messed up one from last season where the bomb did go off and Sylar was president, Peter had blown up, and he had lived. Okay... so where are the people on the show getting "Peter is dead, waaah" from. HE ISN'T DEAD! I mean, even without knowing that Milo Ventimiglia is still on the show I could have told you that!

I don't know why I'm so fixated on this. It is probably just a plot point, and nothing else. Kind of like "well, Spiderman got bitten by a radioactive spider, and that's how he got his powers" but really, how did the spider become radioactive? And what retard scientist let a radioactive spider run amok in a lab where high school students are going to be in the near future? Or like how the Fantastic Four got their powers from being in a solar flare, or something. Why wouldn't that have just... you know... killed 'em? I mean shouldn't it have just killed them? From radiation poisoning? I think maybe yes, it should have. At least that's more likely than all of them becoming superheroes. Anyway, it probably doesn't matter why they all think Peter's dead, just that they do think that. It just means that everybody is a lot dumber than I previously thought.
