Sylar's powers were pretty off in the season finale. That's what kind of made it so-so for me.
First, I do believe it should have been 2 hours. Second, are you telling me that someone as skilled as he has been - couldn't have been able to keep his eye on Hiro AND Ando at the same time? That was really weak writing.
I have to agree with comments I've read elsewhere: the fight at the Plaza really needed to have a lot more intensity. I think this ep was suffering from the BSG disease whereby they spent all their $$ on "Five Years Later" and did what they could to wrap up the season.
Perhaps somewhere offscreen, Sylar killed somebody with superspeed?
there was that unexplained fresh blood smear on the floor of Isaac's studio
Isaac had only been killed a day or two ago, though. How fast would it take a large puddle of blood to dry?
edited to add: Ah, about 46 grams, which could either be irrelevant if taken from specific unused portions of the body, or could have serious fuck-you-up consequences if removed evenly from all the body's cells.
Hopefully it was just a big lunch, and it used up the contents of his stomach. With that equation, a little over a pound (1.01) would yield a 10 megaton explosion.
Whee.
Gamma radiation is cosmic rays. Atomic bombs release neutron radiation.
However, the Heroes world is clearly one step to the left of Spiderman 2, in which you can save New York from an atomic bomb by dropping the bomb in the East River, so presumably Heroes-world me isn't dying of radiation sickness even as this-world me types.
Heroes science is not our science. That is why a geneticist does not recognize the building blocks of DNA but makes a perfectly good EMT.
I kind of want to watch the whole season over again.
No "kind of" on my end. I've already pre-ordered the DVDs.
Atomic bombs release neutron radiation.
The show never gave any indication that Ted emitted anything but EM radiation.
What about Ted's wife getting radiation sickness?
Well, I sure hope Peter will be back, because I have been selling my cow-orkers (all nurses) on the show based on the fact that Peter is a non-lame, non-effeminate, male hospice and palliative care nurse whose "superheroness" comes from the same qualities that make him a good nurse.
