Wow, what a complete and total letdown.
The entire season of this show has been stellar. But the last two episodes, they were just so forced. There was so many things wrong with this finale I don't even know where to start.
Peter can fly on his own, he doesn't need Nathan.
How is Peter punching Sylar, and how is Sylar letting him? How does Peter let Sylar choke him out while he fights off everyone else? Why does Sylar let Hiro run about ten feet and stab him in the chest while doing nothing more than saying 'You...' ? SUPERPOWERS people, superpowers.
If Claire had shot Peter, would he not have had to regenerate, and therefore calmed down a bit?
Did Bennett break his back or something, making it impossible for him to get off a shot?
What purpose did Nikki really serve, other than doing something that any one of Peter's numerous superpowers could have done?
We've been waiting all year for the Peter-Sylar showdown, and it consists of a few punches, Peter getting hit with a parking meter, and a choke move. WEAK.
Now the ending, it was really cool, with the mysterious symbol making an appearance and Hiro being in Imperial Japan. It set the stage pretty well for next year, but even the eclipse at the end seemed like a forced way to tie the Heroes opening into the show in a meaningful way.
I really liked the part on the roof with Charles and Peter. I wish they explained just what it was, time travel, mind trick, etc, but even without it, it was nice to see things come full circle, and we see that Peter really is viewed as the anti-Sylar, the yin to his yang, lightness to his darkness, etc...
Peter and Sylar are linked, and this better not be their last fight, there better be something epic coming, because Sylar's not dead, and neither is Peter.
It seemed like the ending was totally and completely avoidable, and not destiny at all. Everyone was forced to NY to get this meaningful ending that really didn't have to be.
I must say though, learning Bennett's first name, Noah, was pretty nice after all this time, might have been the highlight of the episode, and the only thing that seemed to make logical sense.
I love this show, it's among my favorites, and I loved the entire season, but this ending just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I think maybe peter can performe only one power at a time and that would be a reason why he can't fly while he is radioactive.
but... i think he could punch sylar because he absorbed the strenght of nikki/jessica when she kicked sylar...
the problem is peter was already radioactive when punching sylar... so, can he perform more than two absorved powers at the same time?
anyway, i think it was a forced finale, very week for what the series had been...
by one side you say "i can't wait for lost's new season" and with heroes is the opposite.
