I know. It's like they looked at Peter and Sylar and said "They're too powerful. Let's do something about that." And so last season, Sylar lost all his powers (which I still don't understand how he supposedly lost all his powers, but yet he still has telekinesis. That wasn't his original power. It was just the first power he stole...).
And now this season Daddy Petrelli stole all Pete's. And Pete can't even get them back, because he lost his MAIN power--the empath. He's pretty much a useless character now. I mean, I guess he could turn out to be like Noah and maybe even Ando, but Pete just doesn't seem to have the background for a life like Noah's, nor a good enough friend to be like Ando....Lame.
I must say, though, I love Sylar. I've always loved Sylar for some reason, even back when he was killing everyone in Season 1. I started liking him even more in the fastforward this season. "Peter, you should've told me you were coming. I would've made more waffles."...I thought it was hilarious.
I think the premise of this season is good--the turning of the heroes into villains. But the writers are executing it very poorly. I do like how they're making Sylar into a bit better of a character. I was hoping they'd do the same for Adam. Make the bad guys good and the good guys bad....But we all know how that turned out, for Adam at least. Still makes me mad. He had so much more potential.....
I'm hoping that if Daddy Petrelli doesn't steal Hiro's power (if he did, I would be FURIOUS!), Hiro will bring Adam back. Somehow. I don't know why he would, but maybe Hiro will see something in the future and he knows they need Adam...I hope.
