Heroes season one (book one) has come to a close and I hate to say it but I was disappointed in how it ended. Nothing was truly resolved and it was a lame episode.
Let's see if I can break it down real fast:
- Ando tried to kill Sylar and gets rescued by Hiro.
- Bennet and Parkman do not kill Molly.
- Nikki knocks out the illusion girl and saves Micah.
- Peter goes nuclear way up high in the sky. Why Nathan had to fly him up there (don't know if he died or not) is unclear to me as can fly on his own.
- Sylar gets stabbed but is not dead, evidenced by the blood trail to the man hole cover. I did not see the markings on the manhole cover but, if it is a telco manhole it only leads to a small room. Not just a small room but a small room that may be filled with poisonous gas.
- After the cops and EMT folks arrive no one seems even the least bit concerned with what happened to Sylar. No one!
- Hiro finds himself in 17th century Japan.
That is the quick breakdown.
I can't help but wonder something. If Peter had the chance to meet Linderman before Linderman's death could he have absorbed the power to heal?
What about Peter's visit with Charles Deveaux? Was that some sort of dream or what? It could not have been time travel because Bennet found Peter on the street and "woke him up" during the sequence.
All in all I was not impressed with the way the season ended. I found it lame.
I’m glad that you’re honest with your disappointment in the episode.
I don’t think that I really liked it, but I guess that I also wasn’t that disappointed in it since I wasn’t expecting it to be all that mind-blowing. Nothing extraordinary happened, but that’d be difficult to do with someone who can paint the future anyways. :P
I thought the way they just let Sylar crawl away was a bit…well lame. It’s not as if I expected him to die, but still that was fairly predictable to have him hurt but not dead. That’s like taking the easy middle path where things happen but really things just stay the same. And that is what it seems like they were doing with all of the characters. And that was probably done because they want everyone to get excited about next season. Eh.
I can deal with most of the lame ending of the show but, letting Sylar just crawl away with no one even noticing he was gone? He was the boogeyman of the show! How can no one even notice that his body is missing???
I heartily agree. Sure everything is bustling about, but almost all of the characters at the scene have been devoting significant energies solely to find Sylar!
So what were they thinking at the end “oh Hiro stabbed him so he must be dead.” So they just left him for dead even though he’s survived plenty other things before. And this after they all just witnessed the fight scene! Lame ending indeed.
I want to know who can see Molly when she thinks of him (did she say him?).
Why did Nathan have to fly Peter up into the sky when Peter could have flown up by himself. Peter can also regenerate so again, why did Nathan have to fly him? He’s already absorbed that power, it reflects the conversation of the dieing guy he took care of? He said that love will save you…
Also, Sylar escapes? How did no one notice him going down a sewer?
BLAH! So much…Also, when Hiro teleports to 17th century Japan – was that his father on the horse?
I found the finale kind of lame as well…It was pissing me off because there were commercials every 7 minutes aha

Nathan had to fly Peter because that’s how Peter saw it a few episodes back. Have we seen Peter fly? I know he can absorb abilities. Remember his first venture into flying landed him in the hospital. What if Nathan’s flying isn’t so much an ability as something else? Who knows what his plotting Mama did to him. I mean she was in with Linderman.
I think the dreams are Charles’ abilities. I mean if Linderman could heal then it stands to reason that others from that generation had abilities too.
I liked the episode. At least the “bomb” went off.
I think the main reason that Nathan flies into the sky with Peter is because -
when Peter had that premonition like dream in
‘Chapter 11: Fallout’, it showed Nathan telling Peter something along the lines of him being with him when he explodes. It turned out to be true, after he did fly off with him in the finale.
Its weird how the timeline of both the bomb and the explosion of the isotope satellite, the one in which Hana Gitelman had to explode seemed to be at the same time. (Graphic Novels)
There is also something going around that a character gets amnesia. The two most popular being Peter and Sylar. I think it is Peter. It adds up more. The whole thing about Sylar being mentored by this bigger badder villain is cool. Zachary Quinto himself said that there would be a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ thing for him. It may be David Anders who plays Kensei. The villain is said to be called Kane. He’s said to be immortal. That makes sense.
[...] last season ended we were left with a few big questions. Season ender [...]
Just so you know Sylar is not the boogeyman. I would tell you who is but it may ruin the second season for you.
