Yeah, too good is what I thought too.
Concern: does the catalyst thing disappear into the ether? Or does it disappear into Peter?

And what happens to all the powers that Papa P had stolen? Do they all go flying back through the ether and a whole bunch of heroes get re-empowered?
(And how mad will Maya be?)
At least there will be only the 49 doses left of The Formula, instead of a limitless supply of new heroes. A downside: new heroes are likely to be whitebread Marines who might as well be clad in redshirt uniforms....
PS -- I hope Ando gets superpowers, at least for a while. He deserves some fun, too, after all the faithful sidekicking he's done.

I thought for sure we were going to see the cut on Peter's face heal as a sign he had his powers back.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

At least some white characters will get croaked for a change.

I don't think that they would have shown golden light emanating from Arthur Petrelli's corpse if it was all used up.

Masi Oka nailed it last night -- he has the chops to play serious if they'd just let him. The moment where he got his adult self back was nice acting, and then the transition into tears was exquisite.
Plus Hayden P got some good work, too.

Yes.
I also loved it when the 10 year old Hiro and the grown up Hiro did exactly the same thing - tilted their heads and pushed up their glasses identicially. That was nice.

EXCELLENT POINT
Maybe it all went into Peter's cut.

And even w/o that it would be difficult to believe that Arthur would give it all up.
I thought that when Tracy showed Nathan their little squad of future Super Soldiers/human guinea pigs - that he showed a little misgiving at being confronted with the reality of what he had agreed to. (As well he should have.)

Ah crap, I'm liking this show again. I think it's directly proportional to how little screen time Suresh gets.
I agree with the point above that taking head-cutting Sylar, turning him into a quasi-good guy, then turning him right back into head-cutting Sylar is a little weak. At least give us some change. Though the "you have cake?" line and the subsequent elevator scene both made me laugh out loud.
One thing is bugging me. How did Arthur know to find Hiro in the past? Was it just Peter's paint-your-future power?
Okay another thing - shouldn't Arthur come back from the dead as soon as the Hatian leaves the scene? Peter and Sylar have both pulled that stunt with their "borrowed" Claire power. Or maybe Arthur's hold on the powers was less strong, so when he died he lost the invulnerability in that shimmer.
