I insist, however, that Hiro is and always will be the best character on the show.

I shall have to respectfully disagree here. Peter is the classic tragic hero in the classic hero story. He is the one who must defeat his father out of love and respect for his mother. Not to mention that his powers are super cool, he has a conscience which causes deep mental and emotional anguish, and is certainly yummy to look at, even though creepy Silar slashed his face
.
This show has Greek tragedy (not our greek) written all over it, which is probably as an English major, I love it. I do think that Hiro is a great character, even as an adult he approaches everything with the innocence of a young man/boy, and it's that innocence and belief in what is good that drives his actions. I do hope someone gets him off that flagpole. I gasped when he was zoomed off the building!
