Exactly.
I’m almost wondering if Sylar let Hiro stab him. Maybe he saw in his paintings that it was a better option? Heh! Not exactly sure how that would be a better option though.
Hiro stopped time to actually pull that off? I’m assuming, as it sure didn’t look like it. Cause if not it would seem Sylar let Hiro stab him.
I’d echo what someone said above, that Nathan is alive as he let Peter go before the explosion.
And if Ted was okay after the explosion Peter doesn’t need healing to protect him from that(as said above) or the fall…as he can fly!
As for the guy worse than Sylar, I imagine it’s some nasty thing that lives in the sewers. But it won’t be.
The end fight was some what of a let down. However, I think it’s purely a setup for next season.[/quote]
Regarding Sylar letting Hiro stab him didn’t Sylar’s eyes flash with some images and than turn that grey color that Issacs always did after he was stabbed?
I still think Nathan died he wouldn’t have tossed Peter aside, he felt personally responsible and the weight/stress of what he was about to do finally got to him and he decided he had to be the hero.
I hope Peter lived, I don’t see why he wouldn’t I think the show will seriously suffer if Peter dies, for 1 he is the only real match for Sylar (if he stops being a pansy) hopefully he has that cool scar now somehow and is more like badass future Peter.

Ah, I didn’t think of that.
It really seems like they missed a few things towards the end, like Peter not flying out of harm’s way himself, or that Sylar or Peter wouldn’t have needed the healing power since Ted didn’t need it, and Sylar seeming to have more enough time to stop Hiro.

Have we ever seen Peter use more than one power simultaneously? I just assumed that since his radioactive power was involuntarily turned on, he couldn’t access any of his other powers.

Peter more than likely did survive, as his future self was able to live through a nuclear blast.
I’m thinking that Sylar, through his cunning, might still be able to make his way to the White House. All he would have to do is make it seem as if Nathan survived the blast and naturally take Candace’s power. But since NYC wasn’t destroyed in the blast, developing this plotline might be somewhat useless.
that’s the impression i got as well. most likely, he can only use one power at the time. but if this was so, i feel the writers would have elaborated on this. it might just have been that peter loses control once he goes nuclear. unlike sylar, it takes peter much longer to master his powers i.e flight, invisibility…
Memory
Freezing ability
Super hearing
Metal melting
or anything else other than telekinesis from Sylar? I do remember the doctor telling Bennett that they only ability they could locate in Sylar was the telekinesis… but still, seems thin.
Actually it seemed that Hiro caught Sylar by suprise, because Sylar’s head turns around just as Hiro is plunging the knife into Sylar - hence his ass got pizzazed by Hiro. I think Hiro accidentally sent himself back to Kensei’s time because he was getting thrown against a building, that was probably the first thing he thought about. What a n00b.

I’ve asked that before and I wonder if Peter has to see it in action to be able to call upon it. Another thing is Sylar has a lot more than those 4 above just because he has been killing for months and stealing powers the whole time.
The way Peter, right now that is access his powers is to think about the person and use the power he associates with that person. My guess is the potential to use the power is there BUT he doesn’t know it’s there.

From this I got more of it was a control issue at the time. Peter does seem to be a bit slower on being able to control/utlize powers than Sylar does. As in Sylars power is to see how things work. Peter is able to use the power but control is found through practice.

Other than the fact that Peter sucks at controlling his powers?
For those who keep complaining about the lack of action and/or the “anti-climactic ending”, I think that is what I like most about this show.
It reminds me very much of the some of the more “mature” books that have popped up over the years, most notably Watchmen but also Sandman and others, where the story and the emotion behind it is the real focus as opposed to the usual fluff fights that fill the pages of comic books.
Random thoughts in no particular order; also, some of these merely echo what others have said:
Deveraux’s power is controlling dreams for a particular purpose, a good guys’ Sandman, if you will (for those who are familiar with that old gem).
There was an old team of heroes that included Mr. Nakamura, Linderman, Mr. Petrelli, and Mr. Deveraux. Cool. Some of them lost sight of what they were doing, some felt despair and failure, and the team disbanded. There were most likely others.
Does Mrs. Petrelli have a power? And what, if any, are her real intentions, other than seeing her son elected?
I believe Sylar is dead. He was dragged, he did not crawl. As someone already said, the track marks are too even to have been a crawl.
I believe Peter had no control over his own actions at the moment he was about to explode, hence why he was not able to fly away himself. I also do not believe Nathan is dead.
We’ve seen how fast he can fly early in the series when he escaped from Bennet and The Haitian (essentially, the speed of light). It would have been easy for him to take Peter far enough into space to avoid danger to the earth and then have plenty of time to distance himself from the blast.
The post-apocalyptic future story would have been lame. There are enough of those already.
2 thoughts: we know Peter can live through an explosion because Hiro went into the future and saw him. Since we know Peter and not Sylar coused the explosion, then when it happened in the old timeline Peter still survived it.
Also, Mrs. Patrelli’s power is to be able to coerce anyone she’s touching into doing what she wants. If you look back, everytime she influences Nathan and Claire, and they make the wrong decision, she’s touching them.

Future Peter used invisibility and telekenisis at the same time, but it could be an issue of practice and control.
Nathan definitely could have survived, but why do that - it would lose all the symbolic meaning of his decision and sacfrice.
Letting Sylar live was a bad decision. He was a good first season villain, but his arc should have been wrapped up to bring focus on the new baddie.
Peter probably did survive, but again his death would have had a huge impact and shown the viewers that the show is unpredictable. And it’s not likethey couldn’t have introduced a new character to fill the ass-kicking quotient.

Ahhhhh sound right.
Here is another catch…I think.
Mr. Petrelli (ie: the father) is the guy more evil that Sylar that the little girl is afraid of.
Peter will have a showdown with his father next season.

This series does remind me of the watchmen. I felt that all along.

Hmm! Now that is an interesting theory!
I didn’t even think that the dad had a power just due to the online Novels. Hmmm interesting thought.
