Power Loop Hole

Each future they go to is on the timeline at the point where they jump, but when they jump back, they change it, either eliminating the future timeline or merely closing it off from travel.

If all Hiro/Peter did was jump to random universes, it would make no sense. There'd be no reason for them to try and change anything, because it isn't there universe, and whatever they do won't change that other timeline, and whatever happened in that timeline has nothing to do with their original timeline, thus shedding no light on how to prevent similar futures in their own timeline.

okay. so back to the original topic. Did Sylar lost his power through the Shanti virus from the other timeline? Did the other Sylar even suffered the same fate as the present Sylar? Meaning the season 3 future Sylar, did he go through the shanti virus moment as the present Sylar did in season 2 according to your theory?

OK, first let me say that this isn't a theory, it's the way the show's depicted time travel every time throughout these three seasons, and the numerous times the writers have been asked to clarify time travel, they've agreed. In addition to the show itself the CBR interviews and the nbc.com commentaries feature a massive amount of information about the way the show works.


Everything that happened up to the jump to the future happened to Future 2 Sylar. He discovered his power, killed Brian Davis, killed Chandra, went on the hunt for more abilities, was at Kirby Plaza, helped make Peter go splodey, was stabbed by Hiro, woke up in South America with the virus, went on crazy adventures with the wonder twins, got the virus cured, was captured again and attempted to reform.
