How would shooting Peter keep him from blowing up if it wouldn’t kill him? If he got shot through the brain it would kill him, this was explained in earlier episodes - like when he had a shard of glass in his head and didn't regenerate until Claire pulled it out. That brings up this question… 2. Why was Claire worried about shooting Peter? He’d just regenerate anyway. Right? Did I miss some important piece of info somewhere? See above, she could kill him. 3. Why did Nathan need to fly him away? Peter could have just flown himself, right? He said when Nathan landed, "I can't do anything", the point being going nuclear meant he couldn't use his other powers. 1. How would shooting Peter keep him from blowing up if it wouldn’t kill him?

He’d just regenerate anyway." Exactly... I couldn't believe more people didn't pick up on this. I'm sitting there thinking, "just shoot him... just shoot him in the head, he'll regenerate in seconds... why aren't you shooting him in the head? Why are you flying away with him? Just snap his fucking neck!" “Why was Claire worried about shooting Peter? He’d just regenerate anyway.”

As a big fan of the show all season i expected a huge fight between Sylar and Peter, and well, it just 'Peter'd out'... It had the potential to be so incredible...

I'm a fan of the show, but I definitely felt that the finale was a clumsily plotted anti-climax. If anything, you’re not being negative enough.

It wasn't the season's best episode, but with NBC hyping it like that it was destined to fall short. Sylar vs. Peter, Nikki, Matt and Hiro? That was fun as heck. That alone made this ep pretty darn good. I know I'll be back for the next season, that's for sure. I liked it.
