I agree with the lol episode theory.

I think this episode of heroes is meant to be taken with a f*ing big grain of salt. Everyone's pissed that Nathan had to sacrafice himself to save peter when he could have just pistol whipped him and blam, problem solved. But the thought of Nathan's sacrafice is very suiting. Yet the idea of the sacrafice is dulled by the fact that it was wholly unneccesary. Now be it that Nathan did toss Peter into the air and he flys away, then us, as the audience feels cheated into believing that Nathan was sacraficed and that's a no go as well.

All in all, Nathan should have just pistol whipped Peter.
