I love ZQ too, but the hoops they jump through to restart his character periodically so they can keep him around--god, I'm tired. I'd rather see him on a completely different project.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

I'm going on record saying the hoops they've gone through to keep Sylar around are far, FAR worse than the hoops ME went through to keep Spike around.
The demon on the shoulder bit would have been fun two seasons ago, but not at this point. Honestly, the best re-use of Sylar (after season 1) was when he was partnered with Noah, and they couldn't wait to end that one for some reason.

Franken,

this goes without saying. I'm not a Spike fan, but this Sylar stuff is ridiculous. I think he needs to be a guest star now.

Totally, Frank. It's beyond Spikely absurd, and I didn't think I'd ever say that.

Hmm. Greg Grunberg is saying that the Petrelli brothers are safe on the show, but that someone else bites it (12 minutes in). They better understand they can't kill HRG.

Didn't Grunberg blog some nonsense a while back? By which I mean wasn't there an earlier incident where his word was found to be unreliable, either by deliberate misdirection or being ill-informed.
Or maybe the "lay off" and the "saddening death" are actually two separate actors.

So, yeah... [link]
I'm still boggling over how this is shocking news, and how, if true, Adrian Pasdar could been let go that way. What, did they forget?

The shocking part would only be how AP found out. I wasn't thinking we'd see him again. Who is less surprising?

Now what I'm wondering is, did we already see Nathan's Shocking! Death!, or is there one "final" one coming up? Because I at least foresee Mindless!Sylar going through at least one last identity crisis before either dying or regaining his original self.
And how, what with all the copout deaths that Nathan or "Nathan" has experienced, how could AP have read the death as definitive within the script?

I guess it depends on if anything Greg said can be taken at face value--he said that person leaving had just finished filming their last scenes.
