Heroes Theory: Death of DL, Ando, & Sylar

Here is my big prediction for next week on Heroes: DL will be killed by Sylar. Here is my reasoning:
  1. NBC and Wikipedia have already stated that a hero will die next week.
  2. We saw last week (set 5 years in the future) that Nikki said DL and Micah die in the explosion. The online graphic novel also reveals that she didn't know Peter or Hiro, so she obviously gets separated from her family in the next episode. Especially since she doesn't die in the explosion.
  3. We see this week that DL can pull other people through walls with his powers.
  4. We saw last week that Sylar has this same power in the future. So far, the writers of Heroes seem to be showing that no two heroes have the exact same powers. So, Sylar probably killed DL sometime around the bomb exploding.
  5. This is probably why FutureHiro thought Sylar could heal himself. When he stabbed Sylar, Sylar got all sinister on FutureHiro and acted like he was hurt, when in reality the blade was just passing through him. He then knocks Hiro back and Hiro teleports out of there.
Because of this, here is what I would like to see:
  1. Hiro goes to attack Sylar, and 20 Hiros appear around him. Each time Hiro tries to kill Sylar, he fails, and then thinks of something new to try, and teleports back a few minutes in time to try his new idea. Each time he appears to the existing Hiro(s) and says "stop! that won't work. Try this ____" They then try the new idea. Finally, at the 20th time, we see the idea work and they stop Sylar. As the viewers, we only get to see the 20th time, and it works.
  2. During the season break, the online graphic novels explores everything that could have happened in the next five years if the bomb doesn't stop.
But, knowing how TV writers work, here is the lame thing that actually happens:
Hiro figures out that Ando dying is what set the bomb events in motion. He sacrifices himself to save Ando, and that changes the future, and somehow stops the bomb.
I want Hiro AND Ando to live. Actually, I want all of the heroes to live. Killing characters on TV shows is so cliche now....

I just posted another theory that I really like on U2Katrina's blog, so I want to repost it here:

"Maybe Linderman actually has an even deeper plan in mind. Maybe he knows that the bomb has to happen the first time around, to set in motion events five years in the future, that will change the way Hiro thinks, that will then get him to stop the bomb the second time around, and the events that stop the bomb actually set his REAL sinister plan into motion. maybe he really didn't need the explosion in the long run, but it had to happen in the first place to change something in Hiro that makes his real plan possible the second time around."
