I tend to check my nitpicking at the door and just go along for the ride (while I'm watching, anyway), but I was grumbling about the pacing as well ("Don't give me a season-recapping montage! I've been watching the whole time, I don't need a montage, I need some stuff to happen.")
Also, either the Monologue was lifted wholesale from an earlier episode or it was the most boring and generic one yet, because I swear I've heard all that before.
But I like Molly, and don't really see her as any more of a walking plot point than, say, Claire was during the "save the cheerleader" phase of the plot.
Also not sure I'd call this a fail because the goal, essentially, was to keep the city from blowing up. Stopping Peter from exploding would have been nice, but when he cen regenerate, it's secondary.
Expectations/hopes for next season, though? I'm right there with you. I think most of this season was for them to find themselves as heroes, and now I hope we get to see what they can really do once they have.
