[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4770361, member: 115"] I didn't think it was a terrible episode like some here seem to, but I will agree that a lot of it seemed contrived. I literally yelled at my TV as if it could do any good when they didn't show the Peter/Nathan/Sylar fight. This is a serious problem the show has had since the first season that I know fans are in an uproar about. In the season finale, if you're going to show a battle, BLOW YOUR (*&^#*& BUDGET ON IT! :rant: There was [I]no[/I] reason that fight shouldn't have been shown. I'm still pissed off about it three hours later. I don't get why Peter wouldn't pretend to be Sylar either. If Peter only absorbed one ability, and it [I]wasn't[/I] shapeshifting... okay, I can see that. However, there was no reason to keep Sylar alive when Peter could pretend to be Nathan for a bit and then retire (maybe even in scandal). It just flew in the face of all logic, especially with regards to Noah. I've learned to ignore the Hiro Paradox - that is, why doesn't Hiro just stop time and kill Sylar. I'm glad they actually had him get to Building 26 and free the rest of the heroes though. What I'm not happy about - Ando not getting to use his power. He has the red lightning, he has the super-charging ability, none of them came into play. In fact, I think this really is a reflection of the season as a whole. There were so many plot points that had almost no point. While individual episodes were good or bad, the arc as a whole suffered from too much extraneous stuff. Anyway, back to this episode. I enjoyed the movement in this episode. That is, things [I]happened[/I], and they have consequences. I thought the writing was pretty solid (aside from above) and the dispatching of an uber-powerful person they literally can't kill was clever. I'd love it if Tracy went on a Kill Bill style revenge rampage next season. [/QUOTE]
