A big fight scene only Claire gets to look at? Really? Is this a radio show?
Yep. That was the low point. "Heroes'" ongoing inability to choreograph a fight scene is becoming more and more an aggravation. Seriously, people. Hire someone. I've heard tell that there are people with such skills in Hollywood.
If Chuck can do kung fu, Heroes can stage some kind of fight scene.

Heh - I just assumed they ran out of money.

If Heroes fight choreography is as convincing as Chuck's I don't mind them keeping it behind a door.

this is what it felt like to me. Like a B movie.

ha. mean.
In the interest of full disclosure- The longest time span I've spent watching Chuck was the last seven minutes last night.
I was struck by how Chuck's fight was ripped frame for frame from the Matrix. Which made me laugh way before the "I know Kung Fu" line.
I assumed the fight was behind the door so we couldn't keep track of Sylar.
Remember the big final fight against Sylar in Season 1, where everyone took an individual turn against him like a football practice dummy while all the others stood around with their mouths open? Even if they hadn't run out of money before the big fight, that show's stunt coordinators aren't capable of putting on a good one.

It was a cop out, but I give them credit for cleverly hiding a weakness. Not much credit, but admitting they have a problem is the first step ...

Exactly. I think, when they put the "Heroes" team together, they never brought in anyone who could put together a fight scene and special effects well, and it always ends up ... flat. Either one on one fights, or quick cuts where we don't fully see what's happening. (Take Peter and Hiro kicking ass in "Five Years Gone." Hot scene, but upon examination, we see very little of the actual fight.)
If they want the show to improve (and I think they do) they need to fix this.
It doubly annoyed because I liked the finale. But I found its strengths all in small things, which is good, but the big things need to hold up, too.
