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....?
Agreed. It as not explained well, and served no purpose.
-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?
My thoughts exactly. Nathan's suicide was completely unnecessary. He should at least have said something about not wanting to live because of all the deaths he was going to allow to happen, but even that was pushing it for motive.
"-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?"
You must be reading my mind.
-I guess there was not a single person in Kirby Plaza that night, save for all the main characters?
For all the millions of lives in New York that were at stake, you'd think we would have seen
ONE !?! It looked like they were on a soundstage.
-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?
Yep. Hiro should have pulled his blade and then spun around and sliced him in half.
It's like the writers carefully set up all these careful rules and situations, and then at the last second decided to change things around for the sake of the finale. I mean, yeah, the future is changeable, but up until this point, all the paintings have shown the future (except, perhaps, for the one I pointed out with Claire.)
If the future was changed, when, why and how did it become possible? There's no continuity here. They didn't even use a carefullly designed interpretation of an exisiting painting. All that foretelling as a plot device ultimately was for naught when it was
most important.
(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)
Well, as you pointed out earlier, without her, Sylar is still vulnerable, though apparently ultimately unnecessary as well based on the finale. These guys really wrote themselves into a corner.
The Charles stuff strayed into 'matrix 2 architect' territory for a moment there which was a worry. Maybe they were just planting more seeds for season 2 ala "there's someone worse than Sylar."
