Heroes Season One Finale Recap Episode 23 "How to Stop an Exploding Man"

Well, I have to say, although I thought I might be disappointed, I was not let down by the finale at all. Would the Heroes be able to stop the events already prophecied and set in motion? The episode begins with Matt working to convince H.R.G to let the little girl, aka the tracking system, live. In this task Matt eventually succeeds. Hiro is able to rescue his friend Ando. In the end, the showdown did seem to be a little unbalanced. We have Sylar and several main characters meeting in a public square in the city. Matt first shoots at Sylar, but Sylar stops the bullets and send them back into Matt's own chest. Sylar then gets a grip on Peter, which luckily is stopped by Niki. After this happens, Hiro teleports in and gets Sylar with his Samurai blade. Now by this time, Peter is about to blow and is not able to stop it. He asks Hiro to help him but Sylar throws Hiro with one last burst of energy. Claire aims her weapon at Peter, but then suddenly Nathan swoops in and grabs Peter and flies into the sky. Shortly thereafter there is a bright flash of light, and in this we must assume that at least Nathan did not make it through it. Im not sure though honestly, because we are left to wonder about the fates of Peter, Sylar, Nathan, Matt, and D.L. The very end was a preview into next season, in which Hiro finds himself in a field surrounded by Samurai warriors!! The finale gave us just enough answers, but left enough story for at least another season to come.
