Amazing casting on older Charlie.
Sincere Sylar is creepier than killer Sylar.
Claire is...Claire.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, she is very much Claire.
Casting on older Charlie was excellent.
But I am glad that HRG isn't dead. (Although, it is kind of weird to think of HRG and Claire swimming through Tracy more or less.)

Although it might have been a moot point, killing HRG would have put me off the show forever.

Casting on older Charlie was excellent.
I love K Callan, and she did a really great job sounding like Charlie.
I thought the finale was mostly very boring. Claire was definitely acting stupid at the end, but I loved the call back to her earlier videos.

Yes, I really enjoyed that. Also very much liked Charlie's life w/o Hiro. Kind of meh on everything else, though I feel like they are well positioned for next season, if there is one.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I take it that I'm the only one who believes -- while admitting it was melodramatic -- that Claire was right to out the fact that "specials" exist?

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, I think so - the only way for perceptions to change is for everyone to see that the "specials" aren't necessarily scary.

I don't think she was wrong, exactly. There was that whole dystopian future with Hiro and Peter both getting really hot that supposedly results, but (a) she doesn't know about that, I don't think and (b) I wouldn't mind seeing some more of that.

Also, it would be nice if this why saving the cheerleader saves the world. Because she needed to be the one to do the reveal, on account of the cute and non-threatening, maybe.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It seems like there was a critical mass on that side (with the carnival crowd ready to come out), but her decision seemed largely selfish, rather than really thinking about the larger Special community. Given the Lesson that Hiro learned this episode, that seems like an important point.
Also? I don't think Indestructo-girl is the power to start with. Not that most of the others are less scary...I suppose at least super-healing is fundamentally a defensive power.
