If folks like the stuff, then it's easily explained away with;1) You're using knowledge they don't have. (Sure, most of the powers are used via instinct, and they've had a year to work with them, but it's perfectly understandable that Peter would read everyones mind except Adam during the long boring drives with Adam. Because we as an audience know Adam is bad, but Peter doesn't know anything about him, so it's normal human intuition to blindly trust folks.)2) It's a comic book, dummy! (This is used to explain all the bad and inconsistent stuff, it's all comic book tropes.)3) Well, it coulda been... (This is where they find an explanation that was never in the show and there is no evidence to support, but it's perfectly possible that Sylar vacuum sealed the vault when he was off-camera to keep the virus intact for when he needed it. He did this all through his future self that eventually gains Hiro's power.)As for missed plot elements, there is a symbol that continually presents itself with no outside influence. God Send apparently is not interesting to any of the characters. Hiro has encountered it a few times, 5 Years Past had no mention of it, and it was blood inked on pictures without a question. Is it just Adams Mark or something? They don't say, and apparently none of the characters care.Suresh's found that certain genetic markers showed the potential for powers, are these markers "the Adam trait" or simply show descent from the "Great Heroes" of some mythic age or something? Are the powers based on genetic code, or is it just the ability to manipulate some energy source that permeates the world?Apparently, that all seems to take a back seat to researching the non-contagious virus and building strains that can wipe out all life.</blockquote>
