I dunno, i saw a point to it...it helped a few of them realize important things about themselves: Sylar, that without his powers he really isn't that special; Claire, that her father was right -- she was acting like a teenage girl who couldn't get hurt; Nathan, that the only way to stop seemingly impossible men is with special abilities, which led to his (apparent) accepting of his father's plan; Suresh, like Arthur said -- he'll have to vanquish the monster inside of him on his own, not with a cure or secret formula.
I know I'm probably in the minority, but I've really enjoyed the majority of this season. Sometimes I feel that Heroes gets picked apart and overanalysed and criticised for every little inconsistency (and yes, I do realize there are also some quite large ones). Yes, season one was fantastic. Yes, season two sucked big ol' donkey balls. And to tell you the truth, I think season two being shortened really stunted the growth and development of this show, and it'll probably take a season or two to right itself.
