Anyway, the Sylar-body was the original shape-shifter that was killed as he was trying to escape from Danko and Sylar by appearing as Sylar. Then Danko passed him off as Sylar to look good and so Sylar could operate more freely. Remember?

Please help explain this to me.

Do we all remember Dr Zimermen from the first few episodes of volume 3? He confirms that tracey is one of three triplets, herself, Niki and never before seen ‘Barbera’. Well……..it could be her?!?

As so many people have mentioned already, a drop of Claire’s blood would have resurrected Nathan. Claire may not know this, but Noah definitely does. Extremely lazy or sloppy writing.

Secondly, why does Sylar even bother to use electricity to attack Peter and Nathan during their battle? A simple flick of the wrist and he could have slit both their throats without breaking a sweat.

Third, what’s the deal with Peter’s powers? Early on in the season, I thought that he’d be able to get his powers back if he touched Sylar since Sylar has the ability to capture other people’s powers. But apparently, when Peter touches a multi-powered individual, he can only choose 1 power to keep. If that’s the case, why did he choose to take shape-shifting? Wouldn’t taking another power (like TK or immortality) have been much more useful in taking down Sylar? But no…somehow, Peter had the forethought to know that Noah was coming with a tranquilizer, and secret service would let Peter touch the president (that’s the only way he could morph into him), and that Sylar would be able to see the secret service evacuating him…again lazy writing. Just curious, what would have happened if Sylar didn’t cross paths in time? Would Peter have remained the president until his next encounter with Sylar?

Lastly, Sylar has Clair’s healing powers. One of these days, “Nathan” is going to get hurt and when he sees himself heal, he’ll know something’s up. And shouldn’t that healing ability be working on his brain right now so that eventually, he’ll gain his memories back?

Now that “Nathan” has served his purpose, Noah and Angela really should execute him to eliminate the risk of Sylar ever resurfacing.

BTW, I don’t know if Sylar’s flight in this episode was due to TK or him gaining it from Nathan through empathy, but it seems a lot of you complainers don’t remember that Sylar was flying way back in Season 1 (back then, Zachary Quinto wasn’t even hired yet and they had a stunt double playing the character). He used his TK to fly off after the cops tried to arrest him. He used flying/levitating again in season 1 when he killed Dale to take her super hearing powers.

I was convinced the process of acquiring his first power was more fundamentally engrained in some way, that perhaps the process of integrating it was more sloppy. If you consider that back when the company had him in the first season and were checking him for powers, they only found Telekenesis despite knowing he clearly had more than that.

If his infection with the virus did remove all his powers, then this maybe how Telekenesis and his natural power alone survived and his neglect of painting in particular (which you’d think would be one of his favourites) adds up much better. Though the bomb incident in the trip to the future in volume 3 raises big questions with this still.

Anyways, for me this finale was easily the best episode of the volume, though it had it’s issues. Felt like some lost writer from Series One had shown up in office for once, because Sylar was on top form for this one, (they only seemed to include that badass clock ticking when he’s at his best; which again seems like it’s coming from a specific writer) plus there was actually a referrence back to a previous power he’d got, which they properly included over him sticking to like 2 abilities for all occassions as usual.

Sylar’s scene with Claire was one of the best things I’ve seen on the show, I think those two have had a great chemistry. I’m twisted with ladies like that.

I was convinced that thing with Ali Larter was a seperate one of those clone sister things. I didn’t mind the ommitted fight, as I’d rather not understand exactly how Peter and Nathan managed to survive more than 5 seconds in that room.

Obviously though, if this is intended as the definitive battle (for now) to take down Sylar, it’s largely anti-climactic and they might as well have saved it till they could do it full-on. Gotta lol if they really got screwed on their budget for it, coz they seemed to be spending big bucks left, right and centre in Volume 3; especially in the opening episodes.

There was a big thing that I found very confusing in this epsiode though. Admittedly, I missed “I am Sylar” inadvertantly, plus in the scene where they had the two bodies and were trying to work out what to do, I lapsed in concentration, though I’d gathered they wanted to trick Sylar using the memories he has of Nathan.

What I can’t work out is why the end shows them burning Sylar’s body. It doesn’t make any sense to me, and no one else here has questioned it.

NO BIG PETER SYLAR FIGHT, like i guessed nathan died, why didn’t sum poor looser die like Ando cz he is the “Crimson Arc” no he gives people adredaline rushes wth is that power.

my ratings are as follows

Volume 1 – 10/10
Volume 2 – 4/10
Volume 3 – 7/10
Volume 4 – 5/10

no as bad as volume 2 but certainly not close to the best
