Besides what the other people said, I often find character death for the sake of motivation really trite.
Meredith is going to be Phoenix.
Seeing as her bro couldn’t be burned I assume she can’t be either, She’s already survived one burning building anyway.
Her suffocating to death is another thing all together tho
She shouldn’t need to breathe since she wasn’t gasping when she burned the oxygen out of the room with Claire in it.
Which is another thing that should have killed Claire’s brain.

i request ando shall now referred to as boost lol.
and if he helps lil technonerd out he will truly be forge.
I’m going to assuming you’re referring to this:
The bolded part doesn’t really makes sense, at least with respect to an actual death. It seems more like they planned to kill someone off and then decided not to, but the wording is rather confusing.
Even though it says “after this episode”, it could also be in reference to next season and not Meredith’s “death” in this episode. So it could be any number of women: Maya, Nikki, hell even Candice. (I would still like to think that Sylar killed an illusion, but whatever.)
Not that I’m annoyed that Meredith died–I like her character but she can’t make up for the entire show being disappointing; I’m mostly annoyed because Mohinder and Sylar still aren’t dead (well, for good, since Sylar’s “died” twice in this episode). I mean, if they can kill off Adam, D. L. and Arthur in horribly stupid ways, it’s rather obvious that neither of them is going to die permanently due to (delusional) fans that want to jump their bones through the screen.
P.S. Part of that article made me both laugh and realize how horrible Ando’s power is a show where people’s powers are already really high-level/overpowered:

I also laughed because of how, even on E! of all places, the comments seem to mostly be about how the show is shitty.
Because she probably thought the explosion would kill Claire (and HRG and Angela).
Obviously, she hasn’t been the future and now she never will be.

Wait.
How did The Catalyst work? I realize it’s a MacGuffin, but – huh?
It gives you The Touch, which gives you The Power.
'Nuff said.
So peter’s power is flight now? no more empathy? God, this show sucks.
Nice. :woot:
What? I thought when he was near the fire dork, he was able to run through it without getting burned then, when near Nathan, could fly them outta there?
I hope that was just a typo on the part of the OP…
The article says he doesn’t have his original ability. WACK.
So his new power is EMOtic Mimcry?
at least he has powers. hiro’s more useless.
Hiro is at least mildly entertaining with or without his powers.
Peter’s a whiny bitch no matter what.
