for the record, its not your liking of the show that\'s got me riled up, its the piss poor quality of the finale. i only developed the disdain due to the finale, in fact. i do harbor a bit of resentment that it got way popular and studio 60 got cancelled. the difference in intelligence levels between those two shows was huge, yet the simpler of the two won out in the public\'s mind. but that\'s ok, like i said, i don\'t mind watching mindless tv sometimes. but this finale was insulting. we\'ve been watching all season but the finale treated us as if we hadn\'t been paying any attention. why spend an entire episode showing us peter learning to use his powers on his own (without the original power holder being near) then, for the finale, completely iognore that entire episode. i still don\'t get it. why couldn\'t peter just fly himself off?? it wasn\'t ever explained that he couldn\'t do that, hell, the season started off with him flying! now, all of a sudden, he forgets that he can fly??
to be honest, i feel like the ending was rushed - like maybe if they\'d had another half hour/hour then it could have wrapped up a bit more neatly. but as it stands it was insulting. everyone suddenly forgets their main purpose for being there in the first place (to get sylar and stop peter from blowing up) and just let sylar crawl off? nikki et al can be excused, they were there to get micah, but everyone else just stopped bothering to pay any attention to *the* bad guy of the series?? again, i felt insulted by that. i know that reality works a bit differently in comic book world, but really? the best they could do (with a damn fine premise going into it) was to have all the characters suddenly get a case of the dumbs?
i feel like, instead of hitting a home run and ratcheting up the intensity of the show, they bunted from a t-ball holder....
