Message: <blockquote data-quote="F5" data-source="post: 3553258" data-attributes="member: 4607">As for Bennett coaching Parkman on how to take Sylar down, Bennett HAS shot Sylar, and injured him.  When he confronts Sylar in his house, he fires several shots which connect, and put him down, even though they don't actually kill him (or, even incapacitate him to any real extent).  Still, in Bennett's confrontation with Sylar, the gun was NOT completely ineffective, so it's fair to assume from his own experiences that he wouldn't have coached Parkman not to bother shooting.  The reason it worked for Bennett and not for Parkman was that Bennett took Sylar by surprise; he just burst in the door shooting.  Sylar knew Bennett and Parkman were there (he had just TK-thrown Bennett across the plaza), so he had plenty of warning before Parkman started shooting, and was able to TK-grab the bullets.Still, I agree that the editing and direction on that final scene were not good.  Coreographing that kind of FX-heavy fight with multiple participants is tough.  They should have brought in a guest-director or consultant for that scene, someone with cinematic experience, butt hey didn't.  Hopefully, they'll get better in Season 2...Last, I have a theory as to why Peter didn't stop time or use any other funky power in his fight with Sylar.  He had just absorbed Nikki's strength.  Like he does whenever he encounters a new, innate power for the first time, he uses it without thinking (Claire's regen, Claude's invisibility, etc).  His empathic instinct at the moment was to pummel Sylar with his new, mighty fists, so that's what he did.</blockquote>
