A few questions:
-Why were Parkman and Ando so obsessed with going on what was obviously a suicide mission? I'm not sure what Sylar was doing to Ando before Hiro showed up, and Parkman got three bullets in the midsection, so as far as I see it, they're both idiots.
-What's up with Richard Roundtree's character (Charles) yammering on about love and not bothering to explain what the hell is going on? He says something to the effect of, "Does it matter why you're here? The important thing is you're here." So..Peter has the ability to have flashbacks now....?
-Why DIDN'T Claire shoot Peter? Doesn't he still have a regenerative ability? Couldn't she have kept the bullet in his head until they figured out some way to control the power, or moved him to another place? Or better yet, why didn't Peter just fly out himself? Is it because of the nuclear power superseding all other abilities?
-So, Sylar didn't bother to TK Hiro when getting impaled? He didn't bother to stop Hiro, even though he's acting so smug and confident and sees Hiro right in front of him?
-I guess there was not a single person in Kirby Plaza that night, save for all the main characters?
-Why bother stalling with a cliffhanger? Of course Peter is still alive, as he can regenerate, AND is still alive in the possible future (as seen in Five Years Later/String Theory). And what about D.L.? Wasn't he practically dead in the beginning of this episode? Now he's able to walk around without feeling much pain?
-Here's a thought: in the last episode, Candice (the shapeshifter) alluded to being a different shape entirely, as suggested by her comments/actions about being fat. Yet, here, when she morphs back to her natural form, it's still an illusion? Huh? What was with the dialogue in the last episode, then?
-Again, with the goddamn "don't bother to check if Sylar's dead" situations. First it was Mohinder taking Peter out of his apartment, and not bothering to shoot Sylar again, now it's everyone being present when Sylar gets knifed, and no one bothers to check if he's dead? Then, if he already has the power of a cockroach (see episode with him faking his death), why does he need Claire's brain anyway?
However, I really liked:
-the reveal of Mr. Bennett's first name (which makes his role in Five Years Later/String Theory all the more ironic)
-the throwback to the pilot episode with Claire's swandive
-Hiro saving Ando, and their subsequent dialogue back at the Japanese workfarm
-the foreshadowing of the villain, as indicated by Molly
-the fact that Niki/Jessica actually did something really useful for a change (wailing on Sylar)
-Nathan doing the right thing, and helping his brother out (although, how Claire factors into this with the whole "save the cheerleader, save all of us" thing, especially since she had NO involvement at all in the final fight with Sylar is still anyone's guess)
-the fact that Nathan doesn't even care that Linderman's dead
-the ending, which I admit has me jazzed for the next season
