Someone talk to me about 'Heroes'

timepiececlockI need to converse with other people about the weirdness of this season.
1. What, exactly, is going on with Peter's power vs. PapaPetrelli's power vs. Sylar's power? Why did Peter need Sylar's ability in the first place, when he had the BETTER upgrade of the ability right off the bat?
2. What is up with Peter and Claire? I am getting mixed messages from the show. The series tells us they are uncle/niece, but the writers seem to go out of their way to make borderline insinuating moments between them. It's like watching Rogue and Wolverine from the X-Men movies...I have to wonder if it's coincidence, if it's the fact that the actors are dating IRL, or if it's the way they're being directed to play the scenes they share together.
3. It looks like the abilities of people are being more overtly proved to pass along family lines (ex: the pyrokinetics, the Petrellis), so I'm still waiting for the show to "conveniently" ret-con that Claire isn't actually a Petrelli child at all, but is the spawn of Adam, who had the exact same power. And is also blond. Besides this making way more sense than her being Nathan's daughter in the first place, this would neatly fix Issue #2 as well. At least, it'd be less icky.
4. I hate this show for taking the prettiest person on the cast, Mohinder, and making him both spider-goo-gross and unrecognizable as the same personality from season 1.
