I just finished watching this and I must say something about it.
Season 1 of Heroes was a great show, I recommend watching it. I even cried once, and I don't usually get emotional about shows. However, there is a large plot hole at the end of the season. It makes me imagine what season 2 must be like since I've heard horrible reviews of it. I'd like to post it here.
Spoilers:
Peter Petrelli can absorb other peoples super-powers and he spends several episodes learning to control them at will. Now there is one power he absorbs that he cannot control. An ability to explode like a nuclear bomb. It's a central plot of the show. Now he has to be prevented from destroying New York. In order to do that, they have his brother Nathan Petrelli who can fly lift him above the city, but he is destroyed by the blast. Peter is not destroyed because he has regenerative powers.
This all seems kinda lame in general, but the real kicker is Peter can fly. He absorbed his brothers power earlier and can use it at will. So why does he need his brother to fly him above the city and be destroyed? Heroes is very thematic with an engaging plot, but I think the writers overlooked several important details in the show.
