Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 3542834" data-attributes="member: 18182">Sorry, but you guys are still armchair quarterbacking the characters.Everybody saw Hiro run Sylar through with a sword and then Sylar drops to the ground, dead or dying.  With all else that is going on, dying Parkman, families reuniting, huge bomb going off in the atmosphere . . . I'm okay with nobody thinking, "That Sylar is one scary dude, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's not really dead."  Heck, if I was there and thought Sylar might be still alive, I wouldn't go anywhere NEAR him!!Parkman is a trained police officer.  He's also shown repeatedly a major personality flaw, he's rash and emotional and doesn't always do the "wise" thing.  Just going after Sylar was a stupid move, as Bennett tried to tell him.Mohinder wasn't there to "fight" Sylar, he was there to ESCAPE from Sylar.  He was also distracted by the shot Parkman.Peter is not a fighter.  He is there to confront Sylar, but certainly doesn't go about it the best way.  Besides, the only reason why Peter DIDN'T kill Sylar himself is he started to lose control of "the bomb".  And knowing the prophecies, Peter was understandably a little freaked out about this.And you're complaining about Hiro not checking if Sylar was dead?  Hiro is in medieval Japan at this point.  Hard to check.Bennett has a pretty good idea of what powers Sylar has.  He knows regen (Claire's powers) isn't one of them.  He just saw the dude run through with a sword.  He's focused on his daughter, the only thing that matters to him anymore.  While he can be a frighteningly efficient dude, he is a man who's life has been turned upside down and he's not up to his old super spy self.Come on people, these guys aren't the Justice League, they are just regular folks given crazy powers that they haven't quite figured out what to do with yet.Now if only someone in the group had been dorky D&D playing, comic book reading dude (or dudette) like us, Sylar would've been history long ago.  Actually, probably not.The only problem I had is that I too wanted to see more WHAM! BANG! action between Peter and Sylar.  I feel how things went down fit well into the story, but would've liked the cool fight to please the 14-year-old boy inside me.</blockquote>
