Peter as Dawn I hadn't thought of the option of letting Claire shoot Peter once Nathan arrived and was very torn about his intervention in that moment when he arrived (although less so afterwards) because Claire having to shoot had felt like an ending (the Becoming ending) and I wanted it but didn't because, as you say, of what it would do to Claire. BtVS had an easier job with endings I guess because it was always clear who the big story was about whereas Heroes is much more of an ensemble show.
I was glad that they backed down from the Peter vs Sylar showdown, which is partly what I meant by calling Peter Dawn, in the end he was the damsel rather than the hero. In fact plot wise Sylar's involvement was a big red herring in the end it all came down to whether Peter could control Ted's power, which I definitely liked for taking it away from good-versus-evil towards good versus itself. You know, the final cockroach shot was neat but in as much as it implies the return of Sylar I wish they hadn't done it - he has his moments but The Company is a much better villian.
