>>How long will it be before Nathan realizes that Sylar, who was cremated at the end of Season 4, cannot be cremated. Sylar was burned up at the end of Season 3, but regenerated when the glass shard in his head melted from the heat. Likewise, the metal piece in Syalars(actually, the dead meatamorph) head would fall out from the creamation, and then Sylar WOULD have regenerated. At the creamation, they would have seen Sylar regenerate. Plus, I'm guessing Nathan will start having some flashbacks to Sylars memories (ones that Parkman could not reach and stamp out). But hey, I'm only guessing!!

meatamorph.... creamation??? Shsssss... I need to use the spell-checker more!!!

>Since Nathan was actually the one cremated, I can't see him returning. However, the final ending of the last show already had Nathan/Syler being bothered by the clock being off, so I think more flashbacks and Syler traits are a given... :o)

I thought they used the metamorph to stand in for Syler to be cremated. But in that case, what of Nathan's body? I don't know. With Parkman around, they could've had him keep Nathan/Syler from seeing the dead body, and anyone else in the building, for that matter.... but I don't remember that being explained when they were discussing what to do at that critical point.

I have to say, the writers are doing a good job with the difficult material they have to work with (time travel, multiple story lines converging without too many inconsistencies and general goof-ups.)
