Heroes finale

You know, that might have been more shocking had I not already seen dozens of fic in which the exact same thing happened. So I'd like to take a moment to point out a few plot holes:
1 - Shooting Peter wouldn't actually kill him. Seems like the best plan to me.
2 - Peter can fly. On his own, without Nathan's help.
Also:
3 - Fallout
4 - EMP. There should be planes falling from the sky.

Yes, yes, I know it wouldn't be so beautifully tragic if they paid attention to these things, but I like my shows to work for their angst.

The final minute was certainly unexpected, but I'm not all that interested in this apparent new direction. We'll see when the new season starts up if I want to follow it.

At least we finally know what Peter's power is, thanks to Mr. Deveaux. He has the power of heart. (Yes, that sound you hear is the sound of me rolling my eyes.)

I guess it's because I've seen a lot of the behind the extra stuff like the commentaries and interviews where they noted that if Claire's brain was destroyed or if she stayed with something lodged in her brain too long she would die (several days I'm guessing). I do agree they should have made this clearer on the show so we wouldn't have these questions. (I think she could only survive Sylar's attack if she was forwarned or he could only kill her if he knew her ability well and knew to just cut her skull/kill her as soon as possible so she'd stay down while he got at her brain.)

Oh god medichlorians! >_< *shakes fist and George Lucas* Maybe the trait for powers is genetic but the specific power is determined in the brain? (I know, don't try and apply logic.)

I agree about the amount of fanwank required. I'm hoping they'll manage to improve this next season.

Yeah [livejournal.com profile] mclittlebitch and I were speculating on that Peter/Nathan idea yesterday, but I'm selfish and I want Nathan still alive and well. Cause I want some "Claire's two dads" scenes between him and Mr. Bennet. (Noah! Eee! I'm such a Mr. Bennet fangirl.)
