just a small comment on what raymund said, the actor playing nathan saying he’ll return for the next season might not necessarily guarantee nathan is alive - maybe just sylar copying nathan? as in the ‘five years gone’ episode :)

All the things you guys have said. Hiro sylar thing, not big enough fights and the whole claire shooting peter. From another watching i have a possible omitted piece of information (unless i just missed it). Fair enough he can't fly cos he's out of control and claire would not want to shot him if he died. But we established unless very accurate and lucky shooting him would not kill him and plus wouldn' he explode maybe. So why even have the plan to shoot him. SO HERES MY IDEA FINALLY what if in the gun was the same sirum or liquid chemical used to kill the haitian in '5 years gone'. That would kill peter for good and be an obvious reason why she found it so hard yet it being seeminly easy to just shot him. Also if you look at the gun when you just find out HRG's name Noah the gun looks like it has a chemical in it or something. looks a bit weird would have to go back and pause to check. so anyway thinking this has helped me out a little with dealing with the ending. hopw it helps you. let me know if you think is rubbish. just saw the episode again and although i loved it the first time just cos it was the finale and there were some nice teasers to next seson it annoyed the hell out of me.

"anything" I think includes flying. also, nathan HAS survived. the actor who plays nathan has already said he would return for the second season, so it's safe to assume that he hasn't died. besides, while flying he could just drop his brother , and after the "big bang" come get him down again. and i do agree trick. if she shot him he would problably die. you guys are all missing one little tiny thing… if you check the scene when peter is talking to nathan he says something like ” i can’t do anything ” or whatever. “anything” I think includes flying. also, nathan HAS survived. the actor who plays nathan has already said he would return for the second season, so it’s safe to assume that he hasn’t died. besides, while flying he could just drop his brother , and after the “big bang” come get him down again. and i do agree trick. if she shot him he would problably die.

I think it was always understood that life would go on after the bomb - only NYC would be taken out. The point of going to the future, from how I saw it, was the opposite what you say - it was to show just how awful things get after the bomb - that more than just killing millions of people it actually plunges the world into this terrible situation where the heroes are set against each other, hope is lost and the president (Sylar) is about to start a genocide. As for other problems. Sam, I'll give you that peter might have been to overwhelmed to fly. But this whole dead for good thing I just don't buy. How would anyone know what would kill Peter forever? The glass was stuck in his brain, so you pull it out and he's fine. Shoot him and maybe he stays dead till you pull out the bullet. You know what? Let's grant them comic book style license and say, ok, he's got an achilles heel. Guess what? When his life and the life of all new york is at stake? You find a baseball bat and hit him over the head till he's dead/unconcious. The glow stops, just like when he fainted. I stand by the whole Peter sub-plot, which was kinda the plot, was completely without any pathos. Amiri, you are an optimist!

However, if Claire shot Peter in the back of the head he would not regenerate in a few minutes. We learned from an earlier episode that there is a place on the head that will prohibit self-healing if it is punctured. That is why Peter needed the piece of glass pulled out of his head before he came back to life in the earlier ep. Therefore, if he was shot in that place in the head, it is safe to assume that he'd be dead for good. I'm with you on the Peter question, though. Why didn't he just fly away by himself? No need to get the brother killed. I agree with most of what was said. However, if Claire shot Peter in the back of the head he would not regenerate in a few minutes.

Or was it Saturday? On Sci-Fi. Not that I sat there drooling on my couch with three big bags of potato chips and a battery-operated six-pack soda sipper stuck to my bottom lip like Homer from the Simpsons, appropriately groaning or cheering with the action for an entire 18 hours of back to back Heroes action. I was talking to kirkunit about it, and my main complaint was that they didn't have to avoid the singular catastrophe after all. They had spent the previous several episodes moving the drama into the characters and their interactions, precisely to lessen the blow of the explosion. That's why they jumped 5 years into the future! To show that "life goes on after the bomb." I think they were keeping their options open, but finally just got cold feet.
