Desmond Hume has always been one of my favorite characters on Lost. While he's the man who's had all these unimaginable supernatural things happen to him, he's also the one most grounded in reality. He can see the future, but longs for the past; longs to make amends to the one person he cares so much about.
And as I think about it, in all of Desmond's flashbacks, there has been one thing in common. One "constant."
I'm not the biggest Heroes fan. In fact, I've only seen the last few episodes. But I did catch tonights episode set 5 years in the future. In it Hiro and Ando meet the future Hiro after the bomb (Sylar?) went off in New York City.
Now, maybe I watch too much science fiction, and maybe I'm too much of a Dr. Who fan, or perhaps I've seen too many Stargate episodes, but what happened (traveling to the future as Hiro and Ando did) shouldn't/couldn't have the same results as the episode showed.
