Heros Finale
 

OK so I watched the finale last night and I have mixed feelings about it. I liked it but i have some questions about it:
- Why didn't Claire just shoot Peter which would have stopped the explosion and Peter would have just rejuvenated and lived? Instead they got Nathan to fly them to space and killed the both of them.
- Why didn't Hiro just lobbed Sylar's head off when he was standing there after being stabbed? It would also have been the true Samurai/Bushido's way

Anyhow despite those few weird things, I liked it and I look forward to the Volume II.

I selected "Liked it" only because there was no "Liked it, but with mixed feelings" category!

I have the same problems you do. Why didn't Peter himself just fly away? Why didn't Claire shoot him? Why did that stupid cop think he could kill Sylar? And if a cop with a gun couldn't scratch him, how's some tough chick weilding a parking meter able to beat the crap out of him?

All this said, I still loved it. How can you not?! I'm also looking forward to Volume II. But here's the REAL question!....is Sylar truly dead? For good?

I find it hard to believe the Sylar is still alive ... I mean seriously. He would have to have some wicked repair done after being run through with a sword. It went through an area with MAJOR organs. Kind of hard to survive that if you ask me.

Though, if that is possible, then I guess it is also possible that the Petrelli brothers may still be alive.

at the end it showed sylers blood and a trail leading to an open man hole i think he went down there

I'm betting the Petrelli brothers are still around, and will make a reapparance next season. Syler will probably regenerate even given his injuries. Remember Peter survived after having a shard of glass imbedded into his brain and skull.

I liked that the episode somewhat ended and mostly gave closure to the storeline. The preview for volume two was a nice touch.

Agreed, re: preview for Volume II!

But Catherine, I don't think he has the power to regenerate. However, in the true vein of the superhero/mutant genre...anything is possible! I'm just interested to see how they spin it if he is still alive.

Your right, Sylar didn't steal the Cheerleader's power, so he may not regenerate, but I'm thinking someone will bring him back or something.

I liked it but there were better episodes earlier in the season. I was disappointed with the end fight between Sylar and Peter that they hyped up all season, I mean come on they have all these awesome powers and we basically see a fist fight! Anyone can throw a punch. I would have liked to see some more team work with the other characters to take Sylar down too. And one thing that really bugged me was why did Nathan have to fly Peter away? Peter can already fly on his own. I'm still excited about next season and I'm sure that Peter and Sylar will be back, maybe not Nathan though.

Does anyone know if they will be re-airing the episodes from the beginning of the season, or will they be putting them out on DVD this summer?

It was great if you had not watched the season from beginning to end. They must have fired the original writers before the last episode or at the last minute tried to create an ending that could carry over until next season. Peter can and has flown. How is Hrio able to hit Syler with a sword and the hot blond chick with the street meter. But Syler is able to stop bullets. Left me with a lot of questions that do not fit with what I had seen throughout the season. Maybe Nathan was able to fly into space which is why Peter could not do it himself. I could swear that Clair can heal others. But maybe I am wrong. And who in their right mind would have taken their eye off Syler and not noticed him going into the sewer.

Next season should be good. Hiro is in Japan. And there is that really scary guy that the tracker child is scared to locate. What is up with that.

I cannot wait until season 2 and for that matter to buy season 1 on DVD.
