Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vocenoctum" data-source="post: 3542932" data-attributes="member: 2477">As previously mentioned in this thread, everyone in NY had gone on vacation and the city was actually deserted. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That said, these are not normal humans, half of them went there expecting a nuclear blast, all of them went there planning murder of some sort (okay, not Mohinder & the kids, but still), quite a few of them have had someone they love killed by Sylar when they thought he was dead. The thing isn't so much that they didn't check the body right away, the thing is that they never checked it. We don't know when it disappeared, we only know that it did, at some point before Parkman was loaded into the ambulance.It was a Plot Device, pure and simple, a dramatic moment for the audience to wonder about Sylar and how he escaped.See, if he had gotten Ted's powers right away, that'd be something with me. Instead, he got Ted's powers, almost lost control then said "oh, wait, I'm better". Then he started losing control again and passed out in the street, then finally, at the climax, he starts losing control and his response? The moment he has been training for since his first prophetic dream?He gives the same hopeless response he's been giving us all season.IMO, his character has diversified, but hasn't grown at all really. At least Claire came to grips with being Ms Abbie Normal, Peter still had the same insecurities as he did at the start. He wanted to be special, and when he IS special, he still just wanders around all goofballish.</blockquote>
