And I didn't interpret her suicide as a noble sacrifice, I thought that Sylar had already absorbed her powers, and was turning her power of suggestion suicide idea on her.
So far Sylar has been killing those whose power he steals by carving their brains out of their skulls. Whether it's to "eat" them or simply observe them to "find out how they work" he seems to need the brain to take the power.
Torchwood:
Wow, Ianto totally offered to have kinky stopwatch sex. Hello.
I felt like this week, they finally got the emotional feel of it right. The plot was still a bit of a stretch -- Susie set up all of these elaborate plans on the theory that she'd die and they'd not only bring her back, they'd find a way to keep her alive? But for once, at the end, I wasn't rolling my eyes. I loved the way Jack shot Susie without a moment of hesitation, then shot her again and again. And I *loved* Ianto's observation about gloves coming in pairs.

Ooh, good point.
Also, as everyone in the vision is running away from him, Nathan steps up and confronts him. ??? Is Nathan the only one who can save/stop him from going nuclear?
If Peter's about to go kablooey, Nathan might be the one who can prevent him from blowing up everyone else by getting him far, far away.
Am I the only one who got Nathan-as-a-bad-guy vibes from the flashforward?
Nope, Scola. Of course, Nathan's always pretty sketchy, so it's hard to tell.
Dana is me re: Torchwood. Which should come as no surprise.
Am I the only one who got Nathan-as-a-bad-guy vibes from the flashforward?
No, but then, I think that scene can be interpreted a number of ways.
If Peter's about to go kablooey, Nathan might be the one who can prevent him from blowing up everyone else by getting him far, far away.
oooh, good one. This saves the city/world, but they both die as a result. Which could explain the grim expression on Nathan's face. He can't save his brother, and in one last grand acceptance of his powers, he'll also sacrifice himself to save others.
