Sooner or later Nathan!Sylar will find out the hard way that he can't just fly, no matter whether Matt's mindfix holds up or not, and that's going to lead to questions.

I'm really sad that Nathan is dead, but I'm looking forward to what Pasdar can do with the role now.

Is it bad that my thought is - whatever. Adrian Padsar's still on my TV.

Yes indeed, although I didn't always like the way Nathan was written. This was a very uneven season. I love so many of these people that I can only hope they do right by them the next time around.

Nathan had a conciousness and that died with him. No matter how perfectly Sylar can recreate Nathan, that conciousness can never be revived.

There's two assumptions here: 1.) that your (and, to be fair, my) assumption of what is consciousness jibes with the idea the fiction is going to explore. While there's been a sleight spiritual overtone to some of the story so far, we've seen little to nothing to indicate that there's any "afterlife" in the "Heroes" narrative. For all we know, on "Heroes," we are our memories, and that's that. That being said, I kinda doubt, but the idea needs to be put on the table until the story tells us something else. (And as it's heroes, it's possible that the truth is that we're neither our spirits, nor our memories, but rather we are, every one of us, a labradoodle named Daisy.)

And B.) This is, for all intents and purposes, a comic book. And if there's one thing a comic book can do, it's revive a dead consciousness. I'm placing my bets now on a Nathan ressurection by some means by the end of the season.

Isn't it possible that Sylar/Nathan will use his telekinetic abilities to fly? Parkman could have rigged him up so the impulse to use the one power triggers the other to approximate it...

Okay, count me among those (seems like a rare few here) who were disappointed in the finale and I was so disappointed in the season that I think it is unlikely I'll be back in the Fall.

IMO, the only possible good that can come from Sylar as Nathan is that there will be a scene next season where naked Sylar!Nathan sleeps in a cardboard box - which you know Sylar is likely to do given all his issues.

What a fabulous shout out that would be. I would watch that ep on Hulu, but otherwise...I want Pasdar to find another show with better material.

I think it's when his other powers start manifesting themselves under stress that he'll begin to suspect something weird is going on.

But yeah, I guess it's my understanding of conciousness. I believe that if someone slits my throat and I die I'm gone gone gone, no matter how well my memories are implanted in someone else, the me that was in my body won't wake up in another body- they will be someone else.

he doesn't have to, does he? Didn't he take Nathan's flying power?

Oh, that would be wonderful.

I completely forgot about Nathan being Flying Man and Sylar not picking that power up anywhere! That's pretty funny.

we are, every one of us, a labradoodle named Daisy

Except Mr. Muggles, of course.

I think I am just less sure of what identity and consciousness are than, perhaps, most people. In which case, maybe the writers better not listen to what I want.

I think that's precisely why they showed Sylar flying this episode.

You know, though, I want to see the look on Nathan!Sylar's face when he jumps off a building and isn't able to fly....
