The more I reflect on it, the more I realize the season finale (and all of Heroes), is a cock-tease. They have beings with neato-cool super powers, and finally the two super-powered brothers square off against the Uber-super villain...and the only fucking thing you see is flashy lights reflected in Claire's eyes!! WHAT. THE. FUCK. It's like they blew their budget wad on the morphing for the retarded shapeshifting and Ali Larter as water-girl, so they just threw some sound FX and bright lights in the episode as "cool fight". Fucking LAME!
But, Heroes always does this. Remember when Peter threw down against Sylar in the future, when Peter still had multiple powers? All we saw that time was flashy lights too.
Or the 1st season finale, when there was supposed to be a massive fight at Kirby Plaza, and all you got was the fat Japanese guy running Sylar through with a sword, and Peter getting all glowy and blowing up OFF SCREEN.
I'm done with Heroes, regardless of whether or not Chuck comes back.
