I find the mean and moody future Hiro strangely attractive
May Kasahara
take me to the feeling
Last night's was brain-twistingly excellent. Mean and moody Peter is hot

Seemed to compare Bush to Sylar
Aye, Heroes is a great feast for those of us who like textual analysis. The President is a serial killer.

OK - one of the first powers Peter absorbed was the ability to fly. So why didn't he just fly away on his own and then regenerate? Or am I missing something blindingly obvious?! Was it just being radiation boy was too overwhelming to cope with anything else?! 
Still, liked the end with Hiro landing in 17th century Japan

I was a bit dissapointed. I hated the Hiro in the past ending. It was a real let down. And I think sylar somehow slumping away was just a cop out.
I still want to know what evil granny petrelli's power is.
although i love Parkman, if either he or DL survive being shot, i shall be cross - now lindermann is a deader, surely they can't be saved? (although i did wonder if dl squishing lindermann's brain would help him to take his power, in a sylar stylee...)
Why didn't peter fly himself into orbit, huh? ffs... I hate plot holes.
I did, however, like the hint of someone worse than sylar, who knows when you think about them. Who was that, i wonder - new character? granny petrelli? Daddy Hiro?

Something I wish they'd explore more is the difference between Peter and Sylar's power absorption - why Sylar has to take the brain out to get at the power (and what he does with the brain too - /ghoulish), when Peter can absorb someone's power just by being near them.
I enjoyed it last night, but thought overall it was a bit weak. The best episodes were all mid-season. They could learn a few things about ending a season on a mental, frantic high from someone like Joss Whedon.
Still looking forward to series 2 though!

Kicks off a big S2 plot sequence...
Stigmata is right - PP can only use one power at a time, and most of them he has to concentrate on to make work.

Pretty much echo my thoughts on it although re Peter not flying away could be explained by the idea that when he's absorbed or under a new power he can't really control himself or use his other powers?

Bang on, he can only use/control one power at a time...

HRG is called Noah? 
Slightly annoying?! "Officer Parkman, YOU'RE MY HERO!" She should have been made to lose an eye or summat. Or Mohinder should have pegged it.zoooo said:
I was also disappointed with the ending. The three times Sylar and Peter faced off were so damn disappointing (esp if you like mortal enemy/ ultimate nemesis type showdowns).
I figured the denoument would be a mighty clash. Still, I liked everyone piling in to 'defeat' him, no one could beat him on their own. He was more than equal to the sum of their parts. Bah!

only because petrelli is such a wuss. "oh no! he's using his telekinesis to hold me by my throat! If only I had some sort of superpower! Uh-oh! Watch out for that lamppost!"
And then... then... once old jessica twats sylar he starts PUNCHING him! Yes! He's a superhero, so he PUNCHES him. I could do that! In fact I could have been Petrelli, he didn't use one power.
He is rubbish.

Not a great ending IMO
It just seemed a bit too happy and cheesy and various plot lines seemed too neatly tied together in a big group hug at the end. I felt like the Waltons had encroached into the plot. Or something.
With the Sopranos and 6 Feet Under, for example, we've gotten used to the idea that some things are left unresolved and that truth can be stranger than fiction, which any person with any life experience knows to be true
It just jars a bit that a show that invites you to believe in the evolution of people with superhuman powers, and does it so well that it does seem believable, then spoils it by making things fit together too neatly at the end of a series.
Also..
"what am I thinking now?"
"your last thought"
Boom!
Should realistically been
"what am I thinking now?"
Boom!
"your last thought"
small things like that irritated me

Well put!Im not a fan of Peter either, whiney and ineffectual and in need of a haircut. A superhero who cant do owt without his older brother's permission.
Not a fan of Parkman come to that, Future Parkman was rocking, but regular Parkman is shit. And since we are discussing this, Mohinder should DIE!
