Notes

(C-) Well that was a pretty anti-climatic season finale. It is the end of a pretty bad season. It saved face a little bit by presenting some interesting questions for another season. Now that the world knows Claire's secret what will happen to specials? Also can Sylar really be a hero?

Hopefully the show can reinvent itself a little bit in that regard. We will see, but I have been one for calling for an end to this show after a really poor outing in Season 3.

Still the final showdown between the heroes and Samuel was pretty lame. The writers did very little to make that fight interesting.

Hiro's endgame on his crisis was similarly embarrassingly bad. The whole season for Hiro was a missed opportunity. He was floating off in his little world with Ando, apparently providing comic relief. That is all well and good, that is part of those characters role on the show, but to have their hero quest so inconsequential to direction of the show was rather misguided.

I also am incredibly sick of the father-daughter relationship between Claire and Noah. That got old a long time ago. I was actually rooting for Noah to die when they were trapped underground in the trailer.
