What isn't explained, however, is the fact that all of Issac's paintings have come true, nothing has changed. So I believe that everything in future!Hiro's world, happened so far the same in the present, and they have misinterpretted everything.

1x10 spoilers:

Wrong! The picture of Claire in the stadium, alone, was different. They had the exact shot that was in the painting, but Peter was also in it. I'm not sure how this fits in, given that he also painted a picture of Peter dying, and why would Peter be there?

1x10 spoilers more:

Hiro can't change the past *now*, but perhaps in the future, he'll be able to. Remember, he said "I'm risking a rift just by coming here." I think the blood clot in Claire's brain thing is something that happened because of Hiro -- he was able to save her from Sylar, but then it just turns out she has a blood clot. He gets the blood clot detected early somehow, something else goes wrong. She's supposed to die. Or at least, he hasn't found a way to use more of his power (I'M ONLY USING 1% OF MY TRUE POWER) to actually *change* the past.

Alexander Hartdegen figures out how to travel through time, and attempts to save his girlfriend from a fatal robbery in the park. Unfortunately, no matter how many times he goes back and alters the course of events that lead to Emma's demise, something else equally tragic happens. If she's not shot by the mugger, then she's run over by a runaway steam-cart.

So now matter what measures are taken, the lifelines of some people may well be finite, even across multiple versions of reality. The circumstances surrounding the death may change, but the outcomes might just be immutable.

This does seem to contradict an eariler use of Hiro's power to prevent the bus from running over the girl with the yellow ribbon in her hair, though.

He wasn't travelling backwards to save her though -- he froze time. We know his time travelling abilities are a bit shakey. Perhaps it takes extra oomph to use "Edit Mode".

Also, The Time Machine was a terrible movie adaptaion of the classic H.G. Welles book

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually he looked just about the same, to me at least. It's amazing what dressing in all black will do for you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
