ALso, depending on his department, he may have owned his. Either way, he'd have had to procure it during the long trip, which is possible, but unknown.What I meant was, if he assumed Sylar had a vest, he should have still assumed such now.My problem isn't specifically Parkman shooting, that's more of just an example of the trend. The trend is that none of the characters advanced through the season, they didn't learn. (Except Claire, IMO.)Are you sure you did that? According to DonTadow, people don't act that way. <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=":)" />It may be that she came out, saw Sylar toss Bennet and Parkman shoot at Sylar, then go down himself. She then reacted to attack the enemy presented. I haven't bothered checking, but I don't think that's it. I think she came down after Parkman was already down.She WAS moving DL. Just, slowly. His walking would cause more aggravation than being carried, most of the time.Right, The Dark One. <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=":)" />The "turns" phrasing I use is definetly overstated, but that's how the combat felt to me. Like an old FF game where the guy jumps up, uses a big power, the other guy has a little damage number above his head. Then first guy gets back in line, and second guy goes...ANd yeah, Sylar is fast enough to stop 5 bullets that travel at 850FPS, but not one Japanese Computer Guy.I think the writers have a general arc, and specific scene's in mind. The rest they make up as they go along (in advance of shooting, obviously). They don't have a good eye for pacing, since they're still catching their stride, plus they overuse Plot Devices, where they need something to happen (Sylar must escape) without feeling the need to justify it internally.Hopefully they keep the good stuff and manage to work out the other problems. It is the first season afterall.</blockquote>
