I'm talking mostly about big brother (was it Nathan?) coming in to sacrifice himself to save the day by picking up Peter and flying off before he detonates... despite the fact that Peter could have simply flown away himself, then regenerated, no harm done. So what was supposed to be a heroic sacrifice really was a pointless suicide.
I can't find it now, but one of the people in charge (producer?) in an interview shortly thereafter countered this argument by essentially saying: "Well you're not supposed to think about that. We just wanted Nathan to save the day!"
That let the steam out of the series for me... when season two started so lamely I quickly lost interest. It was a shame because I enjoyed most of season one.
Eh, they explained that pretty well. Peter was trying everything he could to control the ability that would cause him to explode, which meant he couldn't use any of his other abilities.
I hadn't heard the other "explanation", though I fully agree that it is utterly ridiculous.
