Grr.

It's one of those episodes. It's moving too quickly, unless these last ten minutes are epic, I'll feel unsatisfied.

So what do you guys think, Sanjog?--Riddler 21:50, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Definatley not satisfied. I feel that having Nathan fly him away and Sylar's death were cheesy. =\--Riddler 22:04, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Only somewhat satisfied. Peter's punches could have at least been super-Niki punches. I was hoping for a more 'ability' filled fight, or a coordinated heroes fight. But hey, according to Molly, someone much worse than Sylar is around. This could be interesting (for next season). OUChevelleSS 23:31, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

• a. I saw that the only way to save NY was Peter or Nathan flying a few episodes ago, so no surprise there. b. who's to say we haven't already met the 'someone much worse'. I could think of a bunch of people (Angela, Haitian, Claire's bio mom) that could fit that bill!! Disney42 23:45, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
  • There were a number of possibilities even pretty early on during the season (such as Peter/Hiro time travelling out of there). I think the one used was more dramatic and fit Peter's early dream though. I personally felt simultaneously thrilled (typical of each ep) and dissatisfied. I suspect it's because there was so much less closure than we were probably all expecting. Everything is very open-ended, likely for lead-ins to season 2. It's not clear what exactly happened to Nathan and Peter. And Sylar isn't killed off. (Although they kinda set themselves up for that since whether finishing him or keeping him could be argued by some to be a sort of cop-out.) Regarding b), well.. Molly says the person is much worse but isn't a bad person. And then we see the really bizarre vision that Peter has communing with the dead Charles Deveaux. Hehehe... --Glue 01:39, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
    • Oh. And the later punches did look stronger than normal, so.. not sure what you're referring to.. --Glue 01:51, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Did anyone notice that it appears that Hiro's dad is Kensei?
