Hence "tried the failed tactic again". It WAS a while ago though, but since I came into the show around ep 14, it's fresher to me. <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=":)" />Right, but time DOES pass. They seem unable to process past events. Bennet lets Parkman wander off, neither of them seeming to understand the power Sylar has. Mohinder focuses on Molly to the exclusion of understanding that Sylar is on his way and that defeating him is important.They really do just kind of wander through life.Sylar was using powers while they stood there waiting their turn. Parkman was injured due to his own idiotic actions, Bennet wasn't even really injured I think. Claire just kind of stood there, Nikki runs over, gets in a hit and they just stand there.But, it truely was Sylar's incompetence that defeated him. Sorry, I just don't buy it. They're not normal folks anymore. They may not be Uber, or trained well, but they have been through a lot. As characters they haven't grown at all and their idea of how to use their powers is absent of any sort of progression.But seriously, lets deal with untrained folks in a stressful situation. Shouldn't Peter unleash his most offensive or defensive power as soon as Bennet went flying? Heck, Parkman's tactic was bad, but at least he acted quickly. Nikki punchs him, and they just kind of stand there, instead of beating the $*** out of him.I don't think anyone considers the "normal" human reaction to stand there calmly, but that's exactly what they did.</blockquote>
