How the Heroes Season 1 Finale should have gone down: (Protip: don't read this if you haven't seen the finale)
Everyone arrives in Kirby Plaza around the same time they normally do. Matt shoots at Sylar, Sylar returns the bullets at Matt. Noah Bennet hits the wall as usual. Peter and Sylar engage in something more epic than the one-sided fist fight that unfolds in the real episode. Peter doesn't tell Niki to leave, Niki stays and starts beating up Sylar while Sylar is fighting with Peter. Sylar uses telekenesis to hold Niki at bay, though her superhuman strength is helping her out. Hiro appears and steps in to help fight, but Sylar uses telekenesis to pick up a piece of scrap metal similar to a katana and begins to sword fight Hiro with it (thereby actually validating all that time we see Hiro training, rather than Hiro just appearing, yelling, and stabbing Sylar).
Even with all three Heroes battling Sylar, he still seems to have an advantage. Suddenly, Claire, with her gun, shoots at Sylar, who finally seems overwhelmed and barely has time to block the incoming bullets. He shoots them all back into Claire like he did to Matt, but the in the fatal distraction, he loses control of the "sword" he was using to fight Hiro, Niki and/or Peter punches him, sending him reeling backwards right in the path of Hiro, who takes the opportunity to finally stab him.
Now, Claire is in the process of healing and is incapacitated and can't stop the inevitable explosion (thereby bypassing the often asked question "why did she hesitate to shoot him if she knew he would heal"), Peter is freaking out, and mentions something about how he can't seem to use any of his other powers (thereby answering another question "why didn't he fly away"). Nathan shows up as usual and flies Peter away, this time making a lot more sense, because he would be the only one left that could really prevent devastation by flying Peter away.
This would be a better finale.
