I keep finding myself coming back to the Future Hiro scene with Peter, and asking myself why. If one tries to fathom the temporal mechanics of it, there seems to be no practical reason why five years from now, Hiro would have this need to go back in time and convince Peter to go to Odessa Texas when the present him is in Midland Texas. Now, Doctor Who has something called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinovitch_Limitation_Effect Blinovitch Limitation Effect] which I think is bogus temporal physics anyway, and there's no indication this series is going to hold true to that. Hiro coulda gone back in time and told himself to forget about Charlie she's dead anyway - focus on the cheerleader. However, he went to Peter instead. |

Let's say Future Hiro is from a timeline in which Peter didn't go to Odessa cuz he had no reason to know to do that aside from Future Hiro telling him, and Claire died at the hands of Sylar in that alternate timeline cuz no one was there to stop him, and so the Hiro who visited Peter was from that alternate timeline. He goes back, and tells Peter to leave New York and go to Texas. Save the cheerleader save the world. Be the one we need - as if he wasn't the one they needed. All that. Hiro from that timeline met Peter, they compared notes, and that Hiro determined that if he goes back in time and tells Peter to stop Sylar, it'll change Hiro's past, present, and future for the better. So now, where does Future Hiro go? His own future? That future no longer exists. He just changed it. He's now got no home to go back to. |
|||
That's what causes paradoxes. That's what makes rifts occur. |
|||
The present Hiro exists in a reality in which Peter does go to Odessa, does save the cheerleader, and becomes the one they need (presumably). Five years from now, when present Hiro becomes Future Hiro, he has absolutely no motive to go back in time and convince Peter to save Claire, because another him already did that. He's not that Future Hiro. He's a completely different guy now, with completely different life experiences. |

The Peter that Future Hiro recalled, was a Peter with a scar on his face. That scar might yet still happen, or Future Hiro may have changed events so dramatically, as to cause Peter to never have that scar. Our present Hiro is going after the sword that we know Future Hiro eventually aquired. However, we don't know if present Hiro will grow a soul patch, or get a cape. He presume he will just as we presume he'll get the sword in five years, but because events have changed so dramatically, the dominoes may fall in a completely different pattern, and a lot of things that Future Hiro took for granted will not be there when he goes back to his own time, if in fact he even can. |
|||
The only way that Future Hiro can go back to his own timeline, would be to go back in time to one second BEFORE he encountered Peter. Then he would have to immediately go forward to precisely the second he left his own present. Perhaps in five years he'll get that good, but I doubt he'll ever learn to be quite that precise. Something tells me the Future Hiro we met at the beginning of the series is now kinda stuck. It's inevitable he'll show up again, perhaps as a villain now, cuz he's going to have to undo what he did in vain hope to get back home. |
