Why Didn't Peter Die?

[Karafan1]

Why didn't Peter die after a 7 story fall? I'm thinking he got the indestructable power back from Sylar somehow. Anybody else have any theories on why he didn't die??

[thedarknight]

Uhhh cause Sylar lightened the fall.

[dru-zod2501]

Uhhh cause Sylar lightened the fall.
correct

[Karafan1]

I never thought of that..

[Vasser]

Uhhh cause Sylar lightened the fall.

Exactly! Gabriel cares for Peter/Angela and I'm sure he is working for Arthur to
help Peter in taking down Arthur's company. Inside man everyone. YES!!!

[doomvskal86]

Yup, in a way I think Sylar is playing everybody but then again who knows sucks we have to wait two weeks for the next ep. I'm thinking sylar found out everything about his mom and dad by using the ability he has on knowing how everything works. Angela said he was powerful I mean he used his abilities while he was on that machine.

[spicyblark]

yeah, I can't figure out what side he's on...

[silverdragon]

i did think of that idea of sylar lessening the fall...and yes it would be awesome if sylar decided to act as a double agent...

[LuthorKent90]

I was so glad to learn that Sylar didn't really end up trusting his father.
At first it seemed like he was way too easily manipulated by Mr. Petrelli..
Go back to Peter, Gab!

[Yoshua]

he said in the episode he didnt hit as hard as he should have.


Gabriel saved him.


I won't call him Sylar unless he is a villain. Right now he is Gabriel.

[Litle bit more bizarre]

Mr Grey is double agent and I hope that he will be still loyal to his mother:)

[clickclack24]

yeah sylar deffinitly lightened the fall but arthur i think knows he did too. i remember him saying something about how peter didnt hit as hard as he should or how he shouldnt have walked away, something to that sort. im glad tho, the good sylar is the man.

[Novak Fan]

I'm loving Sylar more and more :D Also I thought that he was too easily manipulated by Arthur but I'm pretty sure that he's just playing along. When Arthur said why Peter was alive after the fall he was like "eeeeerrr, I don't know" .He was totally faking lol Go Sylar!

[Queen Of Krypton]

Sylar knows that Arthur is only out to use him for who he is and what he can do. It is so obvious that I think a blind person would be able to see it.

While I am not too keen on Angela, deep down as a mother she cares for all of her boys even though she fiddled around with their DNA. She was gentle and caring when talking to Sylar and had him work with HRG to help show him that he doesn't have to be ruthless and a constant killer - that he can use his abilities for good. Sylar is smart enough to know that. Hell... maybe he was sent away and adopted as a way to keep him away from Arthur because in a dream she saw Arthur exploit and use her son for ultimate evil?? It is a possiblity....

[Sweetie]

Gabriel wanted to get Peter out of his Arthur's reach so,he threw him out the window without warning.Of course,he lightened his fall.Isn't he a good bro or what :)

I guess Peter figured it out,he explained it to Claire.

As Arthur said that i wonder why how he survived and that sylar doesn't know all the secrets yet and is still missing some information. It kind of went as Arthur knows something sylar doesn't and arthur helped him out.

my cousin said that it was arthur who could of helped him out but i think it was sylar who really helped him out and is pretending to be bad to take down the evil coporation and the big daddy hehe :)

Sylar save Peter you can see a litle smile on Sylar face when he was standing back to Arthur and he was playing a dump kid ( i dont know what are you talking about dad ) lucky that Arthur cant read Sylars head:D

which is strange, you'd think he'd have taken Maurys ability wouldn't you? He didn't because he's waiting for Matt? doesn't make much sense to me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we are to believe that Gabe slowed his fall

Maybe it's because he already has a mind power of own, perhaps superior to Maury's/Matt's? He did enter one of Angela's dreams afterall...he likely does have some sort of mind ability. Which would explain why Maury was so terrified of him.

[Cychotec]

This is true, he also seemed to be able to communicate with Adam before he killed him without talking.

[loistickyfingerz]

I think Peter didn't die because of a combo of factors (personally). Mainly, Sylar lightened the fall.

But there's a tiny part of me that wants to believe Peter's powers are natural, and therefore they sense they have been "injured" so they are beginning to re-build themselves (DNA does do this naturally anyway).

His true power is to absorb other's powers without stealing, so let's say his power was beginning to manifest itself again, and Claire just happened to be standing right there when he fell? Ok, so it's reaching, but a girl can dream.

Ok, so it's reaching, but a girl can dream.Not reaching, that's definitely a possibility (one I also considered). If this is indeed the case, it might mean that Arthur will gradually lose stolen abilities as well (ie. he doesn't permanently have them). So that as Peter gets stronger, Arthur will similarly get weaker. This would explain why he keeps other freaks around and doesn't just steal all their powers, as he needs help given his stolen powers gradually fade. (Maybe if the original power holder dies, Arthur has them forever? That might explain why he apparently wanted his own son Peter to die in that fall...)

[rocana]

Also, remember, he got the mind power again from Peter anyway

[Lex'sLover]

I never thought of that..

They pretty much say it in the show lol. ;)
