yeh, it was pretty obvious peter wasn't gonna be dead. we saw how he died, and we knew that claire had gone through something similar with the root through her neck in one of the early episodes. just took someone finding the glass.

and yeh, i don't understand why peter was just standing there, he could have ducked or moved somewhere else in the room. i was expecting to peter to start moving around and having sylar use the super hearing he stole from that one lady to track him. i really hope those two have a bigger fight scene in a later episode, cause that would be CRAZY.

as for the oldies, i think it's great they have powers. it opens up a huge window of storytelling with the history of the powers and stuff. i could see them making references to ancient myths and how they could have some truth to some of the things people did. i was itching to know what peter/nathan's mom can do though. it seems like whatever it is could be pretty amazing since she's still hiding it.
