Voyager didn't start off with a spectacular first season and then decline into mediocrity--it just started mediocre (with the occasional standout) and stayed there.
but I was an idiot child when that show started and progressively got smarter and more worldly as the years ticked by, while Voyager didn't. Meanwhile Heroes got worse while I didn't expect that it should be getting worse which made me think that I was getting smarter and more worldly when it's a certainity I got as good as I was going to get half a decade back.
That's called relativity folkes.

Noah knew Sylar's powers weren't working at the time of the throat being slit. He had no reason to believe that the power-loss was permanent, so it's reasonable to take the precaution of cutting up the body. It just seems out-of-character for Noah not to think ahead.
^There is absolutely no way NBC will tolerate Milo Ventimiglia having a big scar on his face for the rest of the series' run. One-off episodes are one thing, permanent scars are another. Don't expect Mohinder to stay the way he is forever, either. They won't stand for any of their pretty boy cast members not looking absolutely perfect for the promotional photos.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if he gets any powers back at all (and that's a gigantic if), then they will be one-off, single use powers and they will most likely be passive or at the most defensive in nature. I strongly doubt he will get his absorbtion powers back.

Yup. His purpose on the show is to be cute for the squealing fangirls. He sure wasn't hired for acting talent!
Also the scar is visual shorthand for "evil future Peter," as opposed to the "real" Peter who will continue to be on the show. I'd like to see a future Peter, evil or otherwise, without the scar someday. He doesn't need to have the scar in all future scenarios. It's actually getting kind of boring.
Five hundred beelion treelion quadreelion quatloos says he gets his original power back, to be a power sponge, and it will happen before the end of this season (tho I hope they hold off on it for several episodes at least). The open questions are 1) are the writers smart enough to slap some sort of limitation on him to avoid the overpowering problem; and 2) do all the powers he absorbed pre-Arthur-hug also come roaring back (doesn't really matter either way since it's easy enough for the writers to throw a mind-reader or invisible guy in his path again).
Sigh, I thought Villains would be interesting, but it's been a really mixed bag. Sure hope Fugitives isn't as big a disappointment. My hunch:
Everyone will be on the run. The gubmint will be chasing them. The gubmint should be chasing them now! These freaks keep almost blowing up cities and planets! When someone in authority finds out about these monkeyshines, surely they will put a stop to it. The metahumans, good, bad or otherwise, are a public menace and all need to be locked up in Gitmo. The question of course being...how?
Imagine how much cuter Milo would be if he didn't have lock jaw?
Or is that what women find sexy?
A man almost incapable of stringing together a couple sentnces each week.

Girl Power isn't really Girl power if your're not overpowering something trying to imposition the gender, it's just girl. Be powerful damn it, find a bastard and grind him down into a puppy.

On the perhaps mistaken assumption that I'm understanding you at all
, I think that's what Sylar is for...?
I'm thinking something big will happen in the mid-season finale, maybe a big dual between all the Petrellis and Sylar (who I still don't think is a Petrelli, maybe super-DNA testing will answer that!). I'm thinking Pinehurst will get nuked, taking with it Mohinder's magical formula thus keeping the future we saw earlier in the season safe. Peter will get his powers back, Nathan will survive but be forced to track down the X-men- sorry, heroes - after the damage caused to Pinehurst and surrounding areas.
On a side note - can Molly track Peter now that he's powerless?
I have never, ever found Milo Ventimiglia sexy. He's one of those people the media has branded as "sexy" that you look at and say, "I just don't get it. What are they seeing?" He's okay looking. That's the extent of it. I keep comparing him to present day Jared Padalecki in my mind, the boy Rory dumped for Milo's character on Gilmore Girls. Six feet six inch, big gorgeous smile, broooooad, manly shouldered, greek God chested Jared Padalecki.
If Peter looked like that, I wouldn't mind him doing the stupid things he does.
Well, Dean was dull. And the one time he wasn't dull, it was to cheat on his wife with Rory which kinda branded Rory with the scarlet letter, which is bad, and shook her up and made her sad, but that's to be expected since the littlest Gilmore Girl chose to ignore the guiding maxim for womankind: Chicks before Pricks.
Now, why did I watch Gilmore girls religiously?
Lisa Wiel.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
She's got three projects coming out imminently.
Yes Temis, Elle did grind that bastard down... Or she thought she did. Women always think they do, but the brainwashing just doesn't stick. You show us an inch of freedom at the end of some tunnel and we'll be forgetting about coasters, doilies, tucking our shirts in, pissing inside the rim and fidelity. It is our nature.
Worse than children.
She paid the ultimate price for forgetting that men are not people.

As opposed to surly, personality free Jess who treated her like shit as a habit?
I laughed my ass off when Luke pushed him in the lake.
I don't get it either.
I think the real moral is that Rory has awful taste in men.
Logan turned out to be a massive disaster too.
And that blonde lad from season one who ran away to One tree Hill?
Rory is like a cutter, but instead of razors, she slices open her life with god awful terribly stupid men.
Boys.
I think Wordgirl’s read Ruthering Heights one time too many because she keeps finding the most Heathcliff-like bloke she can and then beds him and tries to domesticate the lad with no chance of success until it all blows up in her face since she's all about the self sabotage and drama whether she’d admit it or not.
I liked the episode where Paris frenched Rory.

God, Logan was a hairless, bland little piece of nothing. He actually made Jess look good, which isn't a compliment. Rory was dumber than dirt. If you're going to go for bad men, at least go for the sexy ones. Jess wasn't sexy and Logan was....sexually neutral. The kind of guy who'd worry about waxing his genitals clean and getting a pedicure. All I can think about is how testosterone-y young Dean turned out once he started chasing ghosts on the same network. 
I am so glad that I wasn't young enough that Rory was designed for me to drool over because there was no dool and then later I was even more dry in Sin City when she was suited up to act out the role of a mean streets tough as nails sex worker.
I know why she killed the deer!
Because no one was going to be more doe-eyed than her on that show.
Is it so hard to find pretty people to stuff inside my TV to make it seem interesting?

Try Amanda Seyfried on HBO's Big Love. I'm a straight chick, and even I think Ms. Seyfried is totally bangable. Girl next door qualities with off the charts sexuality mixed in. My husband needs a drool bucket whenever he sees her.
Lilly kane from Veronica Mars?
I do like her Mormon friend teetering on the lesbian needs for Amanda in Big love, also from Veronica mars, but surprisingly also Waterworld (with Jean Tripplethorne. There's some wierd connections across the board with Big love that you'd think the casting was just a whole bunch of celebrities at a key party deciding to work together after a really successful orgy.) .
Unfortunately Mamma Mia has ruined Amanda for me, sure she has a lovely singing voice, but the role she took on is a character with the IQ of of a teaspoon of spoo, which we have decided it would seem is a turn off.
Xander Harris "Smart girls are sexy."
Willow: "Now why couldn't you have figured that out when we were nine?"

If you're looking for smart and cute chicks then Hayden Panettiere is definitely out of the running as Claire. 
No brains, just boobs. Adrienne Palicki from Friday Night Lights is pretty tall, luscious and awesome looking. She was formerly Sam's charcoal broiled on the ceiling girlfriend, Jessica, on Supernatural. Five feet eleven inches of therapy to wrap around a man. 
She was attending Stanford.
