recap: heroes "how to stop an exploding man"

*spoiler alert: if you did not watch last night's heroes, do not continue reading.*

so last night was the season one finale of heroes. we were promised that if they "saved the cheerleader" they would save the world. and i do have to say that although i thought the episode was good, the ending was a bit anti-climactic. there was no big super cliffhanger. i mean, hiro did teleport himself into the 15th century. but that doesn't make me squeal "omg i can't wait til next season".

so here's what happened:
-molly (the tracking system) did not die.
-the boring family (niki, micah, and DL) are still alive
-parkman was dumb enough to try and "shoot" sylar, and ended up getting his own bullets to the chest.
-hiro finally fufilled his destiny of stabbing sylar
-claire was reunited with mr. bennett, aka "noah"
-nathan came to peter's (and new york city's) rescue and flew away with him so he could explode in the sky, as opposed to manhattan

NOW, here are my questions:
-is parkman dead? he's kinda boring. now that peter absorbed his power, can they just kill him off?
-speaking of killing off characters, niki/dl storyline. please. spare me. we can save micah since he's a kid.
-who is this mystery bad guy molly speaks of that is "worse" than sylar? i smell a season 2 villain.
-did nathan die when peter exploded? is peter dead?
-how did NO ONE see sylar go down to the sewer. i'm assuming he's still alive.
-why did the writer's say reade street was on the lower east side? that's just lazy fact checking.
-and speaking of lazy, when peter was passed out on a nyc street, there was NO ONE ELSE walking down the street or sidewalk. really??
-what the hell is grandma petrelli's power????

all in all, a good finale. tonight, idol performances. tomorrow, idol results and 2-hour lost finale! eeek!
