do you think Bennet would have done it? If there were no-one to stop him I think he would have. He would have hesitated (as he did with Claude) but have counted out the greater good, weighted it for Claire and done it.
Nathan gives Hiro the Petrelli body language treatment with the non-existence of personal space Yes! But it’s also practical because it allows Nathan to say something his entourage can’t hear and Hiro doesn’t know the Petrellis well enough to be sure of the significance. I mean, I think he can sense it but it doesn’t quite make sense to him. And that second screencap gives the whole thing a look of the betrayal scene in Gesthemane.
Thirdly, rethorical question, and leading me to the second part of my reply: what, if anything, do you think did not happen in the 5YG timeline?
Can I speculate about the answer anyway? Since Hiro is misinformed about Sylar’s role his attempts to kill him as a result of the trip are irrelevant. Also, so far the only people who know anything different due to the visit to the future are Hiro and Ando themselves. It could be that Ando now knows he will die if nothing changes, so his going off to fight Sylar may be important. Otherwise the only person they’ve spoken to is Nathan (Father Nakamura seems to know about the bomb but I don’t think he ever names the villain he expects Hiro to kill) and up until now all the people who seem to have knowledge of future events have been telling him he’ll make a good difference. So Hiro telling him he’ll be a bad man is something new.
Re: Linderman, I think what he missed completely was that Jessica's original reason of existing was protecting Niki.
Maybe he interpreted her purpose as vengeance and self-protection – her father killed/abused her not Nikki. Maybe Linderman was an only child :-)
