I've noticed a few plot holes, and I'm disappointed. I thought the writers would have been a little more careful.
First plot hole - Peter's ability to use his learned abilities after losing his memory.
Peter stated in season one, after Claude throws him off the building and he lands on the cab that he healed by thinking about Claire. This is in line with his power of empathic mimicry. It is implied that he shares some sort of empathic connection with individuals in order to mimic their specific power. If he can't remember these people, he shouldn't be able to recall their powers.
Second plot hole - Adam or Claire's blood can heal any ailment or injury.
Adam's blood completely heals Nathan's radiation burns in "4 Months Ago." It was stated in Season 1, by Suresh, that his father Chandra believed that the evolution takes place in the brain. This theory is further backed by the fact that Sylar needs to study the brain of an evolved human to learn their power. If the evolution is in the brain, the blood would have no affect on somebody, as the evolution isn't in the blood, rather the brain. To further prove this point, Claire cannot regenerate if something is obstructing her brain. When the tree branch is lodged in the back of her head, her chest is cut open and does not heal until the tree branch is removed. If you only needed the blood for regeneration, it would have been possible for the rest of her body to heal with the tree branch still lodged in her head.
I wish the writer's would take into account premises they developed in season one before re-writing the underlying concepts of the show or characters.
