Glad Sylar died the way the comic book did

Thought it was a pretty good final ep

I really wish they would have ended the "Sylar" story. After stabbing him, I would have shot him in the head, cut it off, burned him to ashes, and sprinkled them across 5 states.

Wow. Nice ending.

Next year will be interesting if it entirely takes place in 17th Century Japan.


I guess we got our answer about what Candice really looks like.

I think the last few episodes were a major let down compared to the first 15+.
Decent ending but could have been so much better.

Seemed like an anti-climatic ending once Sylar died. Why did Peter even need Nathan to help him fly away?

Before anyone tears into the fact that Peter could have flown away himself, gotta say, best one hour of my life this year. Awesome! So what is Mr. Deveaux's ability, any guesses? Kensei is obviously Sulu.

Didn't Sylar escape into the manhole?

He probably couldn't fly by himself trying to contain the explosion as long as he could.

My guess was either,

Peter needed to concentrate as to not blow up RIGHT THEN
or Peter can't do 2 powers at once, or couldn't fly for some reason due to almost blowing up there.

So Nathan is 99.9% dead, but Peter isn't necessarily

Huh. Ok, I'm glad to have a complete story done... at the same time, I'd have liked to see a little more fireworks... a little bigger battle to save the world, that sort of thing. This was a little anticlimactic, if you ask me. There was a bit of a feeling of "ok, we've already said this, this, and this will happen, now we've got to show them," a feeling of going through the motions if you will.

Sylar crawling away at the end of the night was a bit cliche... it's that thing about allowing the bad guy to get away JUST so you can have him kicking about for another battle this time next year or whatever. It's just as cliche as the bad guy taking time to explain the evil plan instead of just DOING it.

So, we have a complete name for HRG... Noah Bennett. Somehow it fits, dunno why. It just sounds right.

Right? The blood trail to the sewer threw me...
Wouldn't one of the other folks, waiting around for the ambulances and such, noticed him crawling away and put a stop to it somehow?

Excellent show, though! I loved every minute of it!!

Oh, and we were asking ourselves here how no one noticed if Sylar did slink off. I still do not think that Sylar needed to cut into the heads to get his powers. I think he and Peter have the same power. Sylar just didn;t know it. So when the Cheerleader came near, Sylar absorbed her power to heal himself.

I can't tell you why I'm channeling Bill Cosby, it just seems to fit.


All in all, a great finale, especially with Richard Roundtree back AND able to see Peter..

Like others, I agree this was a little anti-climactic, but I enjoyed it. However, I still want to know Mama Petreelli's power and what happened to the Haitian. Use the Haitian to contain Sylar's powers, and anyone could have killed Sylar...

End of Volume 1

Volume 2: Generations

Is it next season yet?

You'd also have to ask what kind of story Bennet et al came up with to tell the cops. I mean, they're standing outside the building where a major figure, Linderman, was just killed, and for all we know, someone may have already found Thompson's body.

Who wants to place bets on Parkman surviving?

Maybe Peter and Nathan's mom was right? It was nathan who saved the world, not Peter per se.

I'm not so sure, Nathan could have dropped Peter right before he exploded and flew off and saved himself.

It felt to me as if Sylar expected to be stabbed. Don't you think it plausible that he could have prevented Hiro from stabbing him?

I also wanted to know why Peter couldn't teleport out of there, but the explanation someone else gave that Peter couldnt' focus on two powers at once works for me.
