Heroes Finale-- Full of Spoilers

Was a wee bit anti-climatic really. It was still good though, so here's my recap.

DL spends the entire episode bleeding dramatically and dying slowly.

Jessicki knocks out illusion girl in one of the cooler sequences of the night. Go Jessicki!! Although I was a little disappointed in the fact that when Illusion Girl was unconscious, she reverted to her "hot girl" form. In previous eps, she implied that her original form had weight and image issues, so I was looking forward to seeing what she actually looked like.

Molly is a Google Earth in Little Girl Form. She also sets up next season's villian, (apparently an evil Prof X) which pretty much tells us, with a half hour to go yet, that Sylar won't be around slicing heads and what not.

Ma Petrelli turns her creepy evil grandma dial up to 11.

Claire makes a dramatic stand, then leaps out the window to escape Ma Petrelli in the second coolest event of the night.

Peter has a really bizarre dream/illusion/time travel sequence where he talks to a dead guy from the first half of the season that even the writers can't fully explain.

"What is this?"
"Does it matter?"

Apparently not.

Mohinder remains in his corporate zombie brown suit, although his usual idiocy was overshadowed by Boring Psychic Guy, who became Stupid Boring Psychic Guy by engaging Sylar in a game of Catch the Bullets and losing.

He thought he could just walk up an shoot him? Seriously? This bit of suicidal mind-boggling stupidity continues to boggle my mind today.

Seriously??!! Right. Drop it. Moving on.

Unfortunately, SBPG seems to have survived, despite the prescence of four rather large holes in his chest.

Mr. Evil Glasses is officially welcomed into the Good Guy Club by getting a name: Noah. I'll miss calling him MEG though.

So the big fight was a little lame. Hiro sticks Sylar and kills him, which makes it all the more frustrating that he was this easy to kill THE WHOLE TIME and there were all those other times when multiple people (Mohinder) could have popped a cap in his brain AGES ago and stopped all this Sylar nonsense back at "Save the Cheerleader."

So Hiro sticks Sylar and kills him. This prompted my inner Queen of Hearts as I yelled "Cut his head off!! For the love!! He's not really dead! Off With His HEAD!"

But did they listen to me? No.

Before Sylar dies he tosses Hiro into Feudel Japan, where he meets a samurai welcoming committee, and looks at a solar eclipse despite the fact that he doesn't have a little box with a hole in it to protect his retinas.

Your retinas Hiro!! They'll burn right off! Or something!

Nate Petrelli finally stops being such a lame weasel, and flies slodey-Peter high up into the atmosphere, finishing the season off with a lovely radioactive fireworks display.

That part was atually really cool. I wish they'd spent a little more time on the two brothers.

I think Nate is dead, but Peter will survive. In fact, when Hiro landed, I thought it was Peter returning to Earth.

What did you guys think?
