  It was nice to see all the Heroes together. But that Ando or Mr. Police mind reader could think they could take down multiple power Sylar was silly.

  Plus I think it's realistic that people who have new powers for weeks or maybe months like Peter and Sylar aren't masters with them yet, or only mastered one or two. Hiro still has problems with control with ONE power. Then Claire who just jumped out a window is afraid of shooting Peter then digging the bullet out? So I think she thought Peter would HAVE to die, otherwise it would just be repeat. Dig bullet out, go nuclear, shoot, repeat.

  Also, Nathan had to do something to redeem himself so a little self sacrafice instead of saying hey Peter, just fly already and risk him blowing up trying to fly? Is that a risk you would take with millions of lives?

  I was pissed that once Hiro ran Sylar through that he didn't cut off his head, sure, remind the audience that Hiro reads comics, then to not cut off the head was irritating, it was the writers saying sorry folks, we know we brought up a new big bad mystery, but we'll keep Sylar in our back pockets to pull out when we need a storyline. Just once, I would love it if a show was like nuh, uh, lets' make sure this bad dude psycho is deader than dead by acknowledging that when someone really scares the shit out of you, you make sure they are dead. Also, mind reality bender girl, yeah I was ticked that she alluded that she was fat and possibly a minority, but when she blacked out or Jessica killed her (not sure which) her illusion of dead Mika faded but she was still hot girl?

  But I'm not really disapointed that it wasn't a superpower off! I think it is perfectly all right to think while Sylar is choking Peter, and stopping bullets it's one power he's not focused on using the hearing, he had to learn to shut it off to not go nuts so Jessica was able to sneak up on him and really what superpowers was Peter going to use that are good visuals besides beating him senseless. Invisible, nope. Healing, nope. Pick him up and drop him in mid flight, um might not work with the telekenisis. But he's not invunerable, so punches work and being stabbed worked when he's focused on one person his powers aren't quite reflexes yet, or at least that's what I tell myself to suspend disbelief.

  Plus I actually hope that since Sylar isn't dead( I believe fully in the no dead body, character comes back rule of thumb in fantasy, comics, soaps, ect) he changes, while this show isn't really deep, I think that it was interesting that the two people with the ability for the most powers have manipulative mothers that think they aren't living up to their potential, one isn't "special as he should be" the other is "insecure and weak". So now instead of being "Special" he wants to prove to dead mommy that he's good too, but yet still psycho so it could be interesting.
