i was surprised that george tekei turned out to be a good guy. i expected him to be the all-powerful oz of the operation.
Yep I agree.

For anybody interested, SciFi is running an all day marathon Saturday, showing every episode.
I really like this one still, but I would say it's a tossup between this and Friday night lights as my favorite shows that started this season. My favorite show on TV EVER is Lost, without question. I really don't think there's a show out there that comes close to it.
I really hope this is a good season finale.

These writers have no clue how to build a mythology, no clue how to establish 3-dimensional characters, no clue how to wrap plot lines around 3-dimensional characters that we will actually care if they live or die.
This show is a good idea. It's being wasted on WB rejects, apparently. Will someone go find Josh Wheadon, Glen Morgan, or James Wong, please?

Yeah, not the fulfilling finale like you'd hope.
But I liked it...

ftfy...
I still think the show is awesome, although I was very disappointed in the last two weeks. I kind of don't understand why they just didn't shoot Peter--he would have regenerated. Unless the point was that he would continually be that way...but it's stupid for Nathan to die. I am guessing that Peter will be back, somehow. At least he should be. If not, then I will probably not watch anymore.

agreed whole-heartedly.
i wasnt expecting much out of the finally.....and boy was it a dud.
the past few weeks were built to keep us guessing....and in the end i think they just made the majority not care about what happened or who was affected.
WAY TOO MANY plot holes and SO MANY questions that NEEDED to be answered that just werent. and questions were just "what the hell's is going on" questions.
and Hiro? WTF!!!
and my BIGGEST pet peeve of the last few episodes are the episode cliff hangers.....and how they are resolved within the first few seconds of the next episode. its utterly laughable and just aweful writing.
Ditto.

That finale was so dissapointing, just awful. In my best Teddy KGB impersonation....I feel so unsatisfied
I still like the show, enjoy it tremendously... The only thing I can figure that would make sense (IMO) is that in it's infancy they must not have been sure if it would last all three mini seasons... There is no way someone wrote that whole story, like that, originally. I would guess, or rather hope, that it just morphed to that conclusion with poor writing that came after the shows initial success... (please tell me they did not write that entire plot as it was, in it's entirety, from the beginning)
And sadly - although Hiro was one of my favorite characters - they did not leave me "wanting" for volume 2.

yeah, I'll watch it still...I'm mildly interested to know who Molly was referring to when she mentioned the bad guy that can see her when she's looking for him.
At least Sylar isn't dead. I am betting it was originally intended for him to die, and his popularity made them change that.
Get Jocelyn Wheatstone in there to do some script doctoring and we'll have the best show ever!
The Hiro storyline was good, but I have to ask ...
Did anyone even understand Peter's uncontrollable nature? I realize we're supposed to take leaps of faith in a comic book storyline, but they never explained it. Syler's dead but Peter's still going nuclear. OTOH, Nathan's dead. I got so tired of his camera mugging and deadpanning. I think we were supposed to see a glimpse of his true heroic nature, but this actor apparently studied under Richard Gere and David Duchovny.
Did anyone feel good that Jessica survived? Does that mean we have to deal with another season of Jessica's confusing storyline? Does anyone realize she doesn't really have an ability, but she is in fact clinically psychotic?
Does anyone think Noah Bennet's anti-hero character should have died? I was rooting for it just so I didn't have to see those stupid glasses. Then, Claire could actually start growing up instead of the whiny school girl act that I found annoying throughout.
Lastly, they invested so much into Matt Parkman's undying love for his wife and they left that story in the dust months ago. Here's where I think better writers find a place to mine for emotional impact. Instead, they let Parkman swing in the wind between good side and bad side, only to show at the end his efforts were pointless. He had no power to affect change.

comments inside your spoiler...
First off let me say I was a tad let down by the none showdown between Sylar and Peter. That's twice that they teased us with a showdown. That just plain blew...PERIOD.
The other thing is that Sylar crawled into the sewer? With all the police and everything else that was going on....nobody...even our HEROES didn't think keeping tabs on Sylar's body or keeping an eye on it was important?? WTF????????
What about Molly saying there was a bigger bad guy then Sylar. The guy that can see her when she sees him. So now the Heroes have to deal with Sylar and another bad guy. Peter and the Heroes couldn't even deal with Sylar for the most part.
Oh and by the way, Jessica does have a power. She is really really strong. Did you see the punch, the tearing off of the door handle, the throwing of Parkman out the window previously? She has super human strength.
I did like how they Heroes came together to fight Sylar at the end by chance or not. However, when is Peter going to come into his own? I can only buy that line for so long.
