Heroes Season One: Major Spoilers

Sylar should have died at least 3 times

Paul doesn’t buy the cheap way they let him live

They work so hard to make all the situations work, except when people leave the bad guy alive

The writers didn’t put enough effort into leaving Sylar alive when the characters in the scene should have killed him

Sylar’s regeneration powers haven’t been completely defined

We think the writers paid too much attention to the fans. Sylar was kept alive because the fans on the ‘net wanted it.

Better ways to handle Sylar’s survival

We’re passionate about wanting to fix it because it’s so good and we love it so much

How Neil Gaiman handled a similar situation in Anansi Boys. Anansi Boys audio book was written for and read by British comedian Lenny Henry.
