And you forgot Nathan's latest project: rounding up all heroes and lock them up. And this was from "give powers to everyone", "don't give powers to everyone", "give powers to everyone", "round them up". His motives changed faster than the changing of his shirts. And the timelines don't make sense. The action is continuous, and yet, it's 2.5 years passed since the show started. And yet, if you take one timeline into account, e.g. Claire's, it's not more than 2 months that passed. Or that speedster who won a normal speed racing, and yet we learn later that she couldn't walk. This show is the silliest show on TV. It sucks big time. The writers of this show are the ones who needs to be rounded up, locked, and never given a job again. Well said.
