Warning: If you have not watched last night's season finale of Heroes, go read our recap of "An Invisible Thread."
For those that have seen it, we have a few pressing questions from the decent installment:
- How could they not have shown the fight between Sylar and the Petrelli brothers?!? That was extremely disappointing.
- Couldn't Claire's blood have saved Nathan?
- Why couldn't Peter have simply shape-shifted into Nathan for the next few weeks, in order to speak with the President and ensure everyone's safety?
As usual, we were left with more questions of logic than with satisfactory resolutions to this volume's storylines?
Still, we'll certainly tune in to Volume Five. Will you?
Discuss the end of Volume Four in our Heroes forum!

I think this was a very satisfing ending to this series. I enjoyed the second half of this season almost as much as the first and the finale really let it all out. I know alot of people are disappointed about not seeing the fight between Zylar and the petrelli brothers but i.m not. It was like in season one when hiro went into the future and was with future hiro and peter and Zylar had grabbed peter through the door as nathan. When they went at each other you didn't see it either but the fact of the unknown i think makes it more exciting. I think having Zylar as nathan makes a interesting twist as much as i am going to miss Zylar. But overall looking forward to next season.

I loved the finale. I was so happy to see Tracy back int the picture. However, I do think Claire so take on more of an active role. Come on.... She cant get hurt. let her learn some type of fight style or be damn good with a gun because always having Peter save the day is getting a little tiresome. I want to see my girl in action, more like the bad ass Claire from the future. I wish they would Elle back. She was a damn good asset to the show. I love her.

I think you're trying to simplify to weak-ass plot devices that they're trying to get rid of. Nathan being around was more for Angela than serving the greater good. She wants both of her sons. We didn't need to see another expensive fight scene when the show isn't getting the necessary viewership. Claire's blood is a panacea, and as such NEEDS to be abandoned and completely forgotten. I think this finale worse perfect for the revival of Heroes. Less comic-booky fighting and more about characters with a whole new secret to keep hidden.

Heoresfanatic.com, i totally disagreed with last weeks assessment, but ur spot on here. It wasn't bad, but was not close to my expectation. If the plot outline had been as sharp as the script, it would have been great.
I was expecting the Sylar/Claire scene to be stop-start, uncomfortable and sluggish. But it wasn't, it was creepy, and interesting, and I kept up with Sylar's logic.
Episode: 7.5/10, season 3: 5.5/10 Fugitives: 7.5/10.

Man, I can't stand all this "claire's blood" BS.
I think the writers are smarter than you people on the internet.
There's going to be an answer to that, just wait for BTE cause you know that someone is going to ask about it.
Just like the answers and justification they give everything else that you people nitpick.

1. Not showing the fight was WAY more freaking than it would have been if we had seen it. There's nothing better than things we can only imagine. I thought it was a brilliant decision.
2. An infusion of Claire's blood would have been sort of an encore of Cautionary Tales. The threat named Sylar had to perish to keep the 'gifted society' save - nobody knew where hos moved to, nobody could have killed him. He would have gone on murdering people in order to become president, and, yeah, as Bennet phrased it, that would have produced 100 Dankos. 'Imprisoning' him by turning him into Nathan was the safest choice for everyone's sake.
3. Claire already watched one father die. Peter is a sensible guy. Parents DO tend to protect their children from emotonal pain no matter what. I'm not surprised Noah and Angela lied to their respective children.
It's very parental to lie. Srsly, how immature are you that you can't understand that? Next time, take a view minutes to REALLY think things true before you start your bickering. I've witnessed this kind of behaviour through the whole season - people miss things, don't pay enough attention, get impatient or skipped growing up, but they blame the show constantly. Or everything simultanously.
Plus: What the hell do you think will Peter do when he finds out about Nathan's death? Why waste a promising storyline now?
Goddamn. The finale was well and richly written, the actors were awesome, and Beeman did a fantastic job. I'm more than satisfied. And no, I can see no logic holes, on the contrary.

Whoops, skipped a word.
Wanted to say
'Nobody knew where his VULNERABLE SPOT moved to'
April 28th, 2009 1:05 PM
parkman could have forced sylar to tell of where his vulnerable spot was. claires blood could bring back every dead character so far in the series and peter was at nathan's 'funeral' so he knows of the plan. luved th tracy scene ...ooo tracy vs barbra maybe....
