Sylar's powers were pretty office in the season finale.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what "office" is supposed to be.

I thought that the stuff on the floor of the studio was paint, not blood, left over from painting Kirby Plaza.

I thought it was funny that they kept Peter and Claire separated for great chunks of this episode. It is almost as if they were trying to avoid the chemistry!

Well, "Incest UST ignites human atom bomb on Heroes" sounds like a headline they want to avoid.

Dammit. Typo Queen strikes again! I mean "pretty off" (I corrected it).

I was actually having fun trying to figure it out.

I don't know if they were really that off. Sylar has been used to coming upon people generally unaware of his danger, who often don't know how to use their powers, and don't always have an offensive power. When faced with an actual challenge, he did okay. Plus, he was overconfident, I think.

Dude, he telekinetically shot bullets back at Parkman. That's not pretty off, that's pretty office, which is defined as "totally made of awesome and squee."

Though I agree with Vortex that he's overconfident as all get-out. I mean, I would be, if I were as badass.

I confess to having my mind go to a Sylar Vs. Michael Scott place. (But what IF Michael had Hiro-like powers, and Dwight was his sidekick?)

Gamma radiation is cosmic rays. Atomic bombs release neutron radiation.

Atomic bombs release EM radiation in the form of gamma rays, x-rays, UV, visible, and on down through the EM spectrum (in order of dangerousness, too). They also produce alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons), neutrons, as well as the elemental by-products of the fission reaction (i.e., fallout) that also release these same nasty things. The fallout is what lasts. The good thing is that if Peter is only releasing the EM equivalent of an atomic bomb, then there shouldn't be much fallout.

That's not pretty off, that's pretty office

heh.

Yes, he shot bullets back at Parkman. That was just fine, but why couldn't he have fought Niki/Jessica? I was looking for a kickass fight, is all. I wanted a telekinesis fight. Sylar shooting out ice and shit and then Peter coming back at him, until it turned to steam because he couldn't control Ted's power.

Given his track record, I can see some cause of overconfidence. Unlike Peter, he actually seems to master his absorbed powers pretty fast, and the one he's had longest is probably the most versatile physical power we've seen yet.

Still, since he's encountered dozens of people with powers, perhaps ignoring the slim woman who's striding purposefully toward him after watching him rip that parking meter from the pavement was an unforgivable error.

That was just fine, but why couldn't he have fought Niki/Jessica?

I think that he was just distracted and then she clocked him.
