Wow, that much discussion of this week's episode, huh?
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got nothing.

It's a moment of silence. Or perhaps a long sigh of relief that the end is nigh.

I will say, when the "good" guys go for vengeance, they seem to go to a very dark Edgar Allen Poe well to do so.

All I could think was, "Jeez. This is just dumb."
Both Sylar and Samuel scrunching up their emo faces and declaring, 'I wanna be good, I really, really do," concurrently just made me roll my eyes. Yeah, that's gonna take...NOT.
And BOTH Matt and Peter doing the stupidest thing ever...and each, again concurrently...Come ON. Have those guys not even WATCHED this show?
From this point on...or maybe a dozen points ago, really...I'm watching out of nothing more than morbid curiosity. And hating myself for it, because honestly, I'm not enjoying it. It's like watching some trashy reality show just for the completion of it while I feel sorry for everyone involved.
Yech. What does that say about me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was harder on Matt initially, but I'm guessing he knows how hard it is to kill Sylar. Peter I totally don't get.
Still, as far as not killing Sylar goes, I would try decapitating him and burying the head in a separate box. Little box.
Peter's just an idiot. They should at least take his clothes off more.

ITA. At least then there would be some reason for having him around.
Matt yelling, "Don't, don't touch him!" while Peter affects hysterical deafness and rushes into Stupidland...which is the name I'm giving that lame, 'empty city' metaphor Show uses to death...made me think of a baby walking up to a hot stove. Even a toddler would at least pause.
Then, I thought,"Oh good. Maybe now Peter will find Abandoned!Irish Girlfriend in Stupidland and she can kick his ass FOR us."

Yeah, this is me.
I mean, can these characters ever learn from the past? EVER?
Even the promise of some Claire-Bennet father-daughter time next week isn't really moving me.
I will say that Matt bricking Sylar into his basement was a bit of a surprise. I thought it was part of the trapped-in-Sylar's-head montage. (though it looks like a terrible job that would fall down if someone sneezed on it.)

Did he give him a bucket?
