[QUOTE="BraveSirRobin, post: 3540695, member: 3590"] The proper analogy would be to knock my uncle out to save millions. Yeah, I think I could do that pretty easily. A bullet to the head wouldn't of killed him, just temporarily immobilized him. That was always their plan and no reason for them to feel conflicted about it. Claire knew this and Nathan knew this. Nathan's sacrifice was for no good apparent reason. Even if he didn't want clair to shoot him, just take the gun from her and shoot him yourself. This isn't monday morning quarterbacking either, it stupidity of their actions were clear as they were happening. I can buy that he is struggling to take control of his powers. Sure no problem. I can also buy that he knows how to go invisible/paint/heal because he has practiced them. But if you knew that you were destined to blow up the city with a power you recently obtained, wouldn't you practice that power until you had control of it? It is just plain stupidity. Not me. As soon as Hiro stabbed him, I was looking for the carry through to cut off his head. Everytime they cut to his dying form I thought the same thing. Somebody shoot, stab, stomp or burn him. Something. It was like a bad horror flick. I think it would be pretty obvious that someone should just make sure the SUPERVILLIAN, you know the guy with all the crazy powers, was dead. Heck, DL was fine after being shot in the stomach, why would anyone expect Sylar to die after that. Especially since he continued to use his powers to attack Hiro AFTER he had been stabbed. KILL HIM! Now that would have been fine, but there wasn't enough information present to make that determination other then pure speculation. I hope that is the case but we won't know that for months. I would have been fine with something like that for a week but months without even a hint to indicate such? Unacceptable. And yet he was standing up at the end of the scene as if he was getting better not worse. Plus, as mentioned before, Sylar had a similar wound. If it is logical to think that DL could still be alive then it would also be logical to think those around DL wouldn't automatically assume that Sylar was dead either. I am fine with character growth instead of action, but then it needs to be sensible. If there is no action and the character growth is extremely flawed then you are left unsatisfied, as I am.
