I've been really impressed with the last few episodes (and the season as a whole), with a couple exceptions: Suresh and Peter. Both characters are really getting away from what makes them great. Like one of my friends said the other day, this is the third consecutive season that Suresh ends up working for the bad guys to "further his research".
Peter plays best when he's the innocent/naive "younger brother". For me, he's just been too angry and monotonous this season. I watched the episode "Homecoming" from "Genesis" the other day, and that particular episode is exactly what Peter is to me. The part where Claire comes up to him after he and Sylar have just fallen off the roof, and he asks "Did I do it? By saving you, did I save the world?"
I think that having Peter lose his powers was probably the best thing they could have done with him at this point. All the separate storylines are all starting to converge now, which is always really cool to see. I'm expecting a lot out of the last few episodes, and I really haven't been disappointed yet this season. Here's hoping for more of the same of what we saw in the last two eps.
