I enjoy the show very much. Despite the possible bad writing of the finale (which I think is up for debate), it's the best show on tv now.
On this point, I agree with you.
Stop trying to read so damn much into it. If anything, by your standards, the show was ruined before the finale aired. Sylar is so damn powerful now that the only thing he can't do is regenerate, turn invisible, and fly. Not much need for any of those things when you're a walking A-bomb. If the writers wrote themselves into a corner and Sylar isn't dead, than it's just going to get even worse from here.

So you're telling me I should just sit back and accept gratefully whatever gets shoved my way? I think the whole first season has been brilliant, even better than 90% of any other TV show's first season. A story can only work well when it plays by it's own internal framework. When that framework fails (see: Star Trek), the episodes become repetitive and plagued with inconsistencies, and I don't want to see that happen to this show, because it's too good. When the people writing the show start having crap like characters conveniently forget incidents in the past in order to drive the plot along, that worries me. Then again, killing off a supporting character in the comic series instead of just saying "We fired them" is another problem.
It was underwhelming. The episodes hype up a massive Sylar-Peter fight, and in the end, Peter just punches him a few times and the guy goes down. I didn't care for it.
