Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

90% of the episode was fantastic, and it is my no 1 show this year. thou just being nipicking

The last battle between Peter and Syler was a let down, way too short. After what seems Peter absorbed Nikki's super strength you would think he could beat the crap out of him. Also I would've expect Hiro to stab Syler more than once.

Why couldn't Peter fly away himself?
Why not just wack him unconscious, it's shown that will stop the radiation, already done earlier in the episode. Nikki would've done the trick with that parking meter.
Shooting him dead would've worked too, since taking the bullet out he'll live again so Nathan basically died for nothing (thou he might have flown away before he died but certainly got a good dose of radiation

End Spoiler Alert!

At a guess because this was a better ending. Maybe Peter couldn't have flown off because he wasn't exactly in control of his abilities. Also Peter has already absorbed Sylar's telekenetic powers so surely he could have just cut him in half. I think there's a lot of things that *could* have happened but that was a great ending. I still feel the Nikki / Jessica storyline was quite weak and they devoted too much time to it.

I had a lump in my throat at that ending. Loved it. Sugoi!

Aye, I watched this episode this morning. It wasn't my favourite episode of the series mainly for reasons stated by Raymond. Don't really understand why Nathan had to do that. It was a satisfying ending though, and wrapped up a lot of things quite nicely.

Also, why use the spoiler tag inside a thread that has **SPOILERS TO SERIES 1 FINALE** in the title?

Either way, fantastic series

Can't wait for the next one!

OMG, OMG, OMG, and another dose of OMG.

Thus summarises my view of that episode and that series

At least we found out Bennett's first name!

Edit: And thinking about it, it's explainable as to why he didn't just fly off:

"Nathan, I took his power. I can't control it. I can't do anything."

That pretty much implies that he's concentrating on trying to contain the explosion.

End Spoiler Alert!

Um, well that didn't work!

I'll agree that the climax of Sylar vs Peter was a bit of a let down in terms of length, but overall I enjoyed the episode. And the series for that matter, great start to a new franchise.

24 to finish tonight, and Lost tomorrow!

Well we caught up to episode 20 whilst we were away

Ok so I don't completely spoil everything for myself, can anyone that's downloaded all of the episodes so far possibly burn them to DVD and mail them to me? I'll cover costs...

It's just that with my sucky connection it would take longer to download them than it would to wait for them to come out on DVD and buy them.

sure thing mate, let me know your address and I'll copy mine
