Was he going to walk in, take the virus, overpower peter and release it outside, or was he going to release it in the room with him and peter, where peter would probably nuke the room to destroy it?

Maybe say he was going to go somewhere and destroy it..?
Or fight Peter. Aha. Adam annoyed me anyway.

The whole story arc of the second season was annoying at times. Re-writing the season to match the writers strike was not the best thing to happen to Heroes.

Didn't we see Adam drop the phial containing the virus before Hiro teleported them elsewhere? My thoughts are that that was Adam's attempt to release the virus, but he was thwarted by Peter who caught it and nuked it...but was he really thwarted?...I've also been thinking that Peter could've gotten the virus airborn by "nuking it". We last saw it as a fine powder that sorta blew away, right?

I thought about that too. 'Cause it seemed like when he destroyed the virus, the power dissolved into his skin. Maybe it's in his blood now.

well, once the virus is out there is no stopping it, even if peter nuked the building, the virus would still exist. Then there would be that many more people's lives lost.

Did anyone notice that when Hiro and Adam were talking, the camera pans over to Adam's hand holding the vial and we could see him slowly pushing the cap off. It was already halfway off the second time the camera panned over. But when Adam dropped the vial just before Hiro teleported him away, the vial was completely sealed. Heh, inconsistancy.

I don't know about you, but I believe the Heroes will find some way to stop the virus if it's not already destroyed. My friends and I were working on a theory about how the bomb in New York could still happen and co-exist with this virus plotline that's going on. We haven't quite got all the holes worked out, but something that could potentially happen is if the virus is indeed airborn Peter may take it upon himself to stop it by any means necessary...even if it means blowing up a city? I know what a lot of you could be thinking but what's the lesser of the two evils? 93% of the world's population dead or a whole city with millions of people destroyed?
