Heroes has sucked since season 1 imo. Season 1 was interesting and pretty good, but ever since it´s just been ridiculous.

I'm almost positive you meant "feisty". I'm not sure NBC could get away with showing the other thing, even if they were young and in college.

And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I pretty much pretend season one is all there is. They saved the world, Sylar is dead, the Petrelli brothers are dead, maybe the research is continuing, Hiro is in the past training to be a bad-ass ninja samurai or something, and all is well and happy and not completely messed up. Yes.
Thinking so keeps me calm and not upset. Ommmmmmm...

LOL; Took me a few seconds to even realize what you meant. :P But yeah, feisty it was. The other thing, not so much.

I neve understood why anybody would think the Petrelli brothers wouldn't be alive. And the show did not handle it very well either.
Simple. Nathan takes Peter up, up, up, release and freefall. Nathan takes off. Peter can survive the blast, doing during freefall is fine. Then after blast, Nathan can come back to prevent Peter pancake landing. Even Peter can preent pancaking on his own. Why would either be dead?

Well, Peter went off like a nuclear bomb. It seemed like, for the healing power to work, the tissue had to be able to re-knit. If even a molecule was lost or blocked, it wouldn't work. So yes, he could heal, but that doesn't mean he could survive exploding, unless the exploding man himself would somehow be protected from the explosion inside him, which I'm not convinced of, though you're welcome to hypothesize on that, and maybe you'll convince me. And yes, he could fly, so why did he need his brother there?
Either way, I still like to pretend that's all there is. I haven't watched past season two, where everything became a tangled soap opera and everyone got kind of stupid. I didn't even watch much of that, and don't plan to. I really, truly think that the creators of the show didn't expect it to succeed, and didn't really have an idea of what would happen after the initial arc, and they messed up. Badly. If they did have a plan, and that was it, they messed up even worse.

PR, I'm right there with ya. I prefer to view Heroes as a one-season arc that ended tragically, with Nathan and Peter sacrificing themselves to save the world. It works better that way, instead of the wretched mess it's become. :)

I saw on DVD, never on air, so maybe I saw a different version. It was clearly stated that Peter would survive the explosion after getting Claire's power, but everybody including Peter knew that everybody else would die, and Peter would be the sole survivor, and that would haunt his psyche for all his days. So the key was to remove him from the population so he could survive, but everybody else could also.
Peter stated that he could not apply any of his other powers - he had learned that he had to think of them to use them, control them. He said he needed every bit of concentration to contain the explosion, or he would lose control of it, and if he attempted any other power, his concentration would be lost. Once the explosion occurred, he is free to use the other powers as his mind contorls them. It may be that Nathan would need to prefent his pancaking in the event Peter could not or would not regain senses and composure in time to prevent pancaking - in effect, helpless or weakened state.
Claire left lots of blood behind, and even her toe, and none of that stopped regrowing. Surely she left stuff on the autopsy table. I don't understand your re-knit theory.
My biggest surprise was when they acted like the Petrelli's were dead, they didn't have scenes with them at the end of that season - didn't understand why anyboyd would think they didn't survive - maybe the broadcast version was different.

We seem to be of one mind in this, kwicko

That comes from Claire being dead until the branch was pulled out of her skull, and Peter's request of her to shoot him in the head in order to kill him and stop the explosion. Perhaps the re-knitting only applies to brain matter. That still gave me the idea that going off like a nuclear bomb would possibly cause some trouble, beyond the whole destroying New York thing, but maybe I missed something there. If Claire's power would allow him to survive a blast of that magnitude, I think it would also allow him to survive pancaking, as you say. In my estimation, no matter how far you fall, nothing is going to match the devastation of a nuclear blast going off in your immediate vicinity, let alone going off inside your very own body.
But, if Nathan could let go fast enough and Peter could survive it, yay for them. I liked Peter a lot, I didn't want him to be dead. The whole mess with Sylar, though? Don't get me wrong, Sylar was a great villain, but... dude. The direction they took it, especially where he is concerned, still keeps the writer in me up at nights, if I let myself think about it. He was supposed to die. That whole save the cheerleader, save the world thing that was such a HUGE deal that season? That was supposed to be about preventing Sylar from absorbing her power and becoming nearly invincible, so that he could be stopped and not wreak all kind of havoc an' shit. When he lived anyway, it threw the whole thing down the drain. Not only allowing him to survive, but making him a Petrelli?
that. (I'm sure there was even more mess after, but I gave up for good when I heard that tidbit. Ugh.)
