Hope this is better then last episode. Although any medicore or bad episode with Bryan Fuller is watchable at most. If Loeb or someone was still on this season, thumbs down.

I hope we get something out of, what is the penultimate episode

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 08:22 PM

Let sylar scream his name out ala Beowulf style.

 

I.....AM.....SYLAR!!!!!!!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 08:58 PM

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:00 PM

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:01 PM

What house am I in?....What state is this!?-man

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:02 PM

Ewwww.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:02 PM

Wait... what was with the tooth?

'Come on kid, act like you mean it! Your pay isnt worth it....'-Director

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:03 PM

wow that was gross

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:03 PM

Is it as good as a plan of killing yourself?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:03 PM

Oh this speech matt is doing is a lot of forshadowing his death

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:04 PM

I have a friend like Matt Parkman who we only refer to be their full name.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:05 PM

All problems can be solved by sitting at the park

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:05 PM

i'm late. night boys

 

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:05 PM

That makes me sad. I like Matt Parkman.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:05 PM

Okay so if there is security cameras on the street......not on in the park though?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:05 PM

Hm. Liking the new angle they're playing with Sylar. That's an interesting thing to do with shapeshifters.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:06 PM

It would be awesome if Sylar woke up as Spock.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:06 PM

Here we go....what I called for when this plot line kicked in...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:06 PM

oh man sylar...just keep being aweosme

@conor; YES!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:06 PM

wow grosssss but awesome!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:07 PM

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:07 PM

Wow, creative use for the title

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:07 PM

scarification=creepy=sylar?

 

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:07 PM

So now Sylar is a cutter with identity problems. Is Bright Eyes gonna start playing soon?

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:08 PM

Its been done with lots of shifters. Mystique comes to mind immediately.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:08 PM

@Anson: He's gonna put goth gear on and read the next issue of Sandman...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:09 PM

i lvoe that commercial

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:09 PM

the parkman one

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:09 PM

@TNC Goth Ron should totally be on this show.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:10 PM

If John Malkovich didnt have a career....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:10 PM

Hey! Clint Howard! Awesome!

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:10 PM

wow sylar...hes so awesome

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:11 PM

Aw, crap - Micah is in this one again.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:11 PM

I'm gonna blow your mind....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:12 PM

So it's basically the melting power, but vibrational based.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:12 PM

Crazy like a fox...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:12 PM

Micah > Daphne.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:12 PM

Shenkar?

Shenkar :)

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:13 PM

@zombox: Daphne > Micah

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:13 PM

that powr was so cool

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:13 PM

Alright I'm confused on why Sylar is going AWOL here....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:13 PM

well so much for Clint Howard

Posted by piscespaul on 04/20/09 at 09:13 PM

Bah! Jeph Loeb is still in the credits....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:14 PM

Awww man?  Micah?  Why couldn't he have died?

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:15 PM

'I'm sorry could you repeat that? You kinda mumbled there'-Sylar

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:15 PM

Heh. I finally read Identity Crisis last night.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:15 PM

Hunter is a caring, nurturer.

 

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:15 PM

identity crisis

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:15 PM

This pocketwatch story is not as compelling as the one in PULP FICTION.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

wow sylar is truly amazing. i lvoe this ep

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

@conor: Or in Watchmen

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

i didnt like identity crisis.

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

rofl ando as bait

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

This is a shitty plan-Ando

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:16 PM

Well that plotline with Ando not trusting Hiro is back in full gear....unexpectingly

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:17 PM

whoa awesome!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:17 PM

Well, that was a cool little twist. Interested to see how they explain it.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:18 PM

Oh, I think they've had it in the background the whole time. They've been a little fractured since the whole death thing.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:18 PM

@zombox: Not the last 3-4 episodes I've been watching...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:19 PM

i hope sylar kills the hunter soon.

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:19 PM

I think Hiro is a little jealous of Ando (much like Ando was early in the show of Hiro).

 

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:19 PM

zachary quinto not in star trek trailer...hmm

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:20 PM

Yeah, Hiro and Ando haven't been the same for a while.  They keep up appearances, but they are not as close as they once were.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:20 PM

sylars mom...another throwback to season 1

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:22 PM

'Alright my Beatles albums have come back to me!'-Sylar

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:22 PM

Haha - that was *not* a NYPD uniform.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:22 PM

@conor: I thought this was DC?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:23 PM

@TNC: Yeah, you're right. They gave that cop a weird regional accent, then.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:23 PM

'Why did you lie about Santa being real?'-Sylar

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:23 PM

I'm loving this episode!

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

SO badass!! talking to themselves

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

sylar seeing dead ppl

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

'But what a memorable day we had together'-Sylar

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

I'd totally watch a buddy show with Sylar and Ando!

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

wow this is a real deep profile into sylars mind. its so awesome!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:24 PM

'No one can make graham crackers like you ma!'-Sylar

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:25 PM

Boy howdy

Real lucky that Hunter was on the other side of the door and not the other 3 million living in DC

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:26 PM

Ugh...

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:26 PM

'Our time....to be alone....'

*cue porno music*

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:26 PM

HOLY SHIT!

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:27 PM

Holy Shit!!!!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:27 PM

The first thing I would if I was frozen in time like that would be to move those darts so that would not happen.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:27 PM

What a dickhead move... I'd wanna kill him for that too.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:27 PM

wow hiros being a rel dick. now i see why they are fighting in that FUTURE SCENE

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:27 PM

Again this fraction between Ando and Hiro seems pretty forced if you ask me...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:28 PM

I saw him lining them up and I knew what was coming. That's one of the first times in a while this show has gotten me to say "NOOOOO!"

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:28 PM

wow still not over that sylar psychic profile thign...so sick and nwo he just wants to kill

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:28 PM

Kill him Sylar!

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:28 PM

someone's getting their brain eaten

Posted by piscespaul on 04/20/09 at 09:28 PM

@TNC: Aren't you the one who has skipped half the season?

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:29 PM

Will this show up stage Lost by killing a kid in a more horrible way? Stay tuned!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:29 PM

i smell a micah pwning

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:29 PM

I will clap happily if Sylar cuts the top of Micah's head off.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:29 PM

@conor: Well I caught up with the season.....heh not very good until Fuller got on board.

But I know this whole Ando/Hiro thing has been building up. But ever since I started watching this again, or when Fuller came back on board, this plotline seemed to have been dropped. I just dont see Hiro being this much of a dick to Ando.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:30 PM

I miss Daphne

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:30 PM

@TNC: HE's jealous. Their relationship was always one way - he was the hero and Ando was his sidekick. That relationship shifted and became equal. Some people can't handle relationship paradigm shifts.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:31 PM

@gobo: Me too.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:32 PM

Oh god this promo for Southland is terrible

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:32 PM

@conor: AGREED!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:32 PM

@conor: No I understand what your saying.

But they dropped this plotline a few episodes back. They became the lovable, comic relief again with the Parkman baby. Again it just feels forced to bring it back

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:32 PM

Kill the little bastard. Kill him now.

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:33 PM

so is sylar really the Hero?? cuz that would be awesome!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:33 PM

@TNC: They didn't drop it, it's been constant. It just hasn't been emphasized in a while because they have been focusing on other characters.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

wow idk whether to punch Hiro or say thanks

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

@conor: Well then I cant explain why I didnt see any of this tension in the last 4 episodes I've seen them....but whatever we'll agree to disagree

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

LOL since when do you wear glasses.

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

I know I've asked this beore, but how is Ando's power offensive?

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

@rayclark: That would be decidely not awesome.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:34 PM

World's Finest right there

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:35 PM

Poor, poor jerri curl Micah.. so hated... heh.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:35 PM

Wow.....Sylar is swayed really easily...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:35 PM

SYLAR IS MICAH!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:35 PM

Well at least I got to see what Micah getting killed looks like

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

Sylartried the Hero thing before. It didn;t work out.

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

god dammit no brain eating for Micah

Posted by piscespaul on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

Saw that. Dammit! Making Sylar a hero is gonna drag this show through the mud again. Also, since that was Sylar, that means that Micah isn't dead. DAMMIT!

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

wow Sylar is totally a good guy now....

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

welll....almost lol.

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:36 PM

Alright we got 20mins to go with this and one more full episode....Where is this season going!?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

hmmmm.....still being creepy.....

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

Wow....that's fucked up....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

I'm still a bit cnofused on this whole speaking with Mom thing. Is it that his object reading power got an imprint of his "mom" and used his shapeshifting to manifest?

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

Sylar is haveing wierd Bates thing going on

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

Oh... I think good guy might be an exaggeration.

 

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:37 PM

Sylar's mom sounds a lot like Frances Conroy. It's freaking me out.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:38 PM

im still creeped out....

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:38 PM

You see when I talk in a different voice I dont play dress up I....

well I've said too much

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:39 PM

@Anson17: If he absorbs people's DNA (did he just say that?) then hers could have been on some of those objects in the box.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:40 PM

agh this is such a good episdoe. it puts great insight into sylars head

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:40 PM

mabey thats why he was sniffing the shirt.......

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:41 PM

It looks like a mixture of all of his abilities is starting to drive him crazy. The combination of shape shifting and reading memories and stuff from objects seems to be mixing and giving him like a multiple personality disorder. The Healing thing is probably messing with his shape shifting too, like the extra tooth. Its an interesting idea that too many abilities or the wrong mixture of them would have bad side effects.

Posted by Devastron on 04/20/09 at 09:41 PM

I'm getting tired of seeing Sylar torned on being a good guy or bad guy....Choose a side and stick with it!

We've seen it for 3 straight seasons now

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:41 PM

@Devastron

 I hope the writers go down that route, its an awsome idea

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:42 PM

@conor: hers was on those scissors he was touching so thats how he absorbed her DNA (cuz he did say he absorbed DNA)

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:42 PM

He touched the scissors he stabbed her with, there was probably some dried blood on them.

Posted by Devastron on 04/20/09 at 09:42 PM

I still dont understand why no one has ratted out that Nathan has abilities.

You would think that is Hunter's first priority before becoming leader

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:43 PM

hmmm i have a feeling sylar wants to be nathan......in order to be successful

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:43 PM

@TNC: maybe the hunter just wants to hunt...right? =)

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:44 PM

'I just thought all boys go threw this stage'-Mom

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:44 PM

@TNC: LOL ahhh mom so funny

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:44 PM

ok completely creeped out by this sylar mom scene ..and thats not easy to do

Posted by piscespaul on 04/20/09 at 09:45 PM

it dosent help the creepiness  factor when Sylars mom looks like a crazy witch

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:45 PM

Season one. It all goes back to SEASON ONE!

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:45 PM

wow...mom knows how to really get her kid to succeed

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:45 PM

Moving closer to season 1's future.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:45 PM

they just corrupted the "you can be anything" speal in ways I never thought possible.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

ITS A TRAP!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

Man I forgot about that future I thought the Heroes stopped from happening.

Great call backs

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

yeah its def a trap

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

This is the same guy that 4 episodes ago tortured Noah almost mindless... talk about MPD.

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

so this part of the season has a lot of throwbacks to season 1 i have noticed

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:46 PM

Hmmm.........i love season 1 and this part of 3...looks like Sylars finally taking matters into his own hands

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

ooo the epic word "change"

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

Don't like how quickly Parkman is getting over Daphne.

Posted by gobo on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

Have they been sitting in the same diner for the whole day!?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

in season 1 issac mendes drew sylar as the president, they are revisiting this. cool. it happened 3 yrs later instead of 5

Posted by boutux on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

@TS4P: but you need an Admiral Ackbar voice when you do it LOL

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:48 PM

@TNC: The episode flashed back 18 hours after the opening scene.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:49 PM

Oh noes! Not Obama!

 

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:49 PM

The episode started out with 18 hours ago. The end is just now catching up with the present, where the least episode ended.

Posted by Devastron on 04/20/09 at 09:49 PM

@conor: Oh thats right, forgot.

It is a nice little writers touch to basically say:

'You just prolonged the future of Sylar becoming president, not stopped it'. Kinda like the Terminator 3 plot.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:50 PM

@rayclark

Admiral Ackbar: The Shield is down! Commence attack on the Death star's main reactor.

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:50 PM

Mmm... I want a milkshake.

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:52 PM

I like that parts of the future are coming true while other parts can't. Certain characters are dead and the explosion didn't happen. Everything is happeneing for different reasons.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:52 PM

'Okay didnt understand a word you said Nathan'-HRG

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:52 PM

*cough*Retard*cough*

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:53 PM

He just left his milk shake!

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:53 PM

I guess we have to pay the bill....cheepskates

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:53 PM

So did he!

Posted by conor on 04/20/09 at 09:53 PM

i want milkshake too now ><

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:53 PM

Nosebleeds are never a good thing....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:54 PM

I think this episode has been fairly strong because of the lack of involvement of the Petrellis. I feel like they've been present in most of the weakest parts of this season.

Posted by Anson17 on 04/20/09 at 09:54 PM

how come ando cant just supercharge hiro??

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:54 PM

@TS4P: wayy to steal that quote but still its awesome rofl

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:55 PM

'Alright boys we were just here a couple of hours ago'-SWAT

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:55 PM

wow sylar...

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:55 PM

Well they're gonna have to kill Sylar....they cant just hold him back forever for touching the president

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:56 PM

@rayclark

 yeah imbd.com ftw

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:56 PM

Will Nathan die? Or will Peter save him?

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 09:57 PM

WOW so EPIC......I DONT EVEN KNOW!!

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:57 PM

Sylar has heard this 'your pathetic' speech 1,000 times

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/20/09 at 09:57 PM

@TS4P: lmao always FTW duhh

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:58 PM

Wow, I almost thought Nathan was going to die

Posted by ReiMehari on 04/20/09 at 09:58 PM

caring friend my ass

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:58 PM

welp that was a sick ep cant wait for season finale next week. im out PC

Posted by rayclark on 04/20/09 at 09:58 PM

good epsisode, makeing me excited for season finale

 the season needs an awsome cliffhanger

Posted by TonyStark4prez on 04/20/09 at 09:59 PM

Posted by piscespaul on 04/20/09 at 10:00 PM

Ruh roh Raggy!

Posted by zombox on 04/20/09 at 10:00 PM

Holy crap!

1. Micah is a WAY more interesting character than Daphne ever was. I for one like the idea of a character who actually wants to be, you know a hero. Having him play a digital Harriet Tubman was a cool idea.

2.  They really need to kill Sylar. This show has been on for three years and they are basically rehasing the same plot points with him. I do like that he wants to be President, not to help people or even the power of the office, but to be someone "special". In fact it would be cool if for whatver reason Sylar became Obama and the other heroes had to live in a world with Sylar at the helm.

3. These guys need to sit down and exchange numbers. Maybe email adresses. I still can't believe all these characters don't know each other.

This was.....a better episode? I question it because last week wasnt that great. While this episode was better, it wasnt by much.

I am getting tired of the writers deciding to make Sylar just suddenly second guess every season. Either he's the anti-hero or just plain villain....not both. You cant suddenly decide to show a guy murder all of these people and then put a interaction with his mom to show 'oh he's really torn inside'. Doing it once in season 1, that's fine. But doing it over and over just gets old.

Plus the stuff with Micah was just plain boring and useless in the long run. Ando/Hiro was more entertaining of the 3 plots going....Hiro just letting Ando get 6 shots of tranqulizer in him was badass, But as I said earlier; bringing a plot point back when it was completely dropped the last 5 episodes doesnt make much sense. Finally, it got annoying they showed the same shot of the Petrelli's and HRG 3 times (first happening last episode).

@TonyStark: Your right, he is a film star now. So why would he wanna stay on a show when he can get bigger money on big sci-fi films? I really think this is Sylar's last season. If I'm wrong, then great, cause I still like Sylar even if he's written as a 'woe as me' guy every season finale. But how are they going to stop him from not taking over the presidency? They cant keep that storyline up forever if he still has those mimic powers. Plus the previews indicate, at least in my eyes, that Sylar is gonna piss someone off that gets him killed.

Again it was a decent episode, but overall I'm hoping this has a strong finish. The episodes with Fuller back on board have been great so far....But with these last two episodes it seems like 'deja vu' all over again.

Just finished it. Thought it was a great episode. I like how Sylar got the DNA off of the scissors and picked up all the memories off the sweater and individuals globes. Re-asserting his mother issues and giving it a Norman Bates, Pyscho vibe was pretty cool. 

I also enjoy his decisions in this episode. It wasn't a good guy/bad guy decision. It was a Bad Guy....Really Bad Guy dynamic.

As much as I like the Hunter, I hope Sylar rips him into pieces. I doubt they'll kill Sylar unless the series is ending, otherwise they'll keep him even if Quinto leaves for a bit, Sylar is a great device to pull out of the box to add tension in a later season.

Great episode.  I don't see how keeping a character consistent is a problem.  Sylar has always been messed up and messed with and now his absorbed powers are affecting him, making his inner turmoil much worse.  When Sylar was first introduced, I thought he was boring and one note.  That all changed when Angela started messing with him.  Having him try to be good was genius, it was something he wanted.  But he sucked at it and when he learned his new family was a lie it twisted him even farther.   A bad guy who always kills is boring.  An unpredictable villain is always better.

I have no problem with Micah.  An inexperienced kid trying to help via technology is a solid addition.  I LOVED Daphne largely because of the actress.   The only real gripe I have with this season is Parkman forgetting her so soon.  Evidently, some of that was due to time cuts.

If someone has to die, I wouldn't mind waving goodbye to Nathan but not before he realizes that Peter is a better man, and greater hero, than he could every be.

 That last scene with Sylar was awesome.  I didn't flinch when he went down and thought, "They'll just have someone remove the knife when they need him again."   But having him unaffected.... awesome.
