I think the writers painted themselves in to a bit of a corner with Sylar. I read somewhere on the 'net that their intention had been to more or less bring in a majority of new characters with each season - new stories, everything. I think their focus quickly changed to keeping the cast static more-or-less, which means the villian as well ... their intention at the beginning was probably to kill Sylar, but they figured they couldn't now. He is just an awesome villian.
Will be interested to see what happens from this finale. It wasn't bad ... but it wasn't GREAT like the previous few episodes had been.
