This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
That said, I really dig Sylar. He's a brilliant serial killer. (God, I watch too much Criminal Minds and Dexter.) Someone on a site for Heroes reviews expressed the thought that he was too boring, but I completely disagree; I think the degree to which he can assimilate and be convincing is fantastic, his purpose and drive is compelling, and the way he changes from random nice guy to killer is really well done.
He really is. I mean there were times when I started to wonder if he was going to reform, just from being with Mohinder, then he'd turn the creep dial right back up.
Well, I think that what Witchblade had was a very troubled lead - and that may have led to inconsistency in the series and ultimately to it's cancellation.
Juliebird:
i The only question I can think of to ask Paul Blackthorne is, "why are there no photos of you shirtless on the entire Internet?" And I'm not going to ask that.
I'll pay you.
Reaaaally? How... much?
evilly rubs hands together
SA: While I realize that there may well be two people on the Interweb going by SA, I need to ask if you're the SA who wrote the Panther/Chief Sentinel fic. Because that series
will not leave my head.
It was jarring to see her with long hair; I think it was a wig.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that! I'm suspecting the actress who plays Murphy is wearing a wig, too. It's a lot fuller/thicker on top than it looks in some of her publicity photos. But maybe I'm just a suspicious person. Since I went wig shopping with my niece, I've been looking at every actress' head askance.
I wish we were getting more than 12 episodes of Dresden Files this season. But that's usual for SciFi, I guess.
But I wonder if he can use his empathy to project the healing ability elsewhere?
I was wondering the same thing. It would be kind of cool if his being a nurse affected his use of his powers (or was an unconcious expression of his as-yet untapped and even un-acquired abilities, if destiny is involved).
Zenkitty, I was just over there and started laughing so hard and worrying that I'd actually have to pay. Thank goodness I didn't specify with
what!
Maybe Murphy has extensions (I'm beginning to suspect Claire's perfect long curls that drape over her shoulders are extensions as well)?
Or, wait--now I'm confused, did Claire use her power in front of Peter or not? I can't recall. But it would make it interesting if Peter had access to all of the same powers Sylar had.
I thought that peter just had to touch a person to absorb their powers. He touched Claire, he fought with Sylar. It may be that not all of Sylar’s powers have manifested in Peter because he doesn’t know that they’re there. I mean, I
could
be telekinetic, it just wouldn’t occur to me try to move something with my mind.
Of course, I hope it doesn't end up like Witchblade, which got unceremoniously cancelled after a confusing and poor second season (though it was a rocking first season!)
aww, I miss Witchblade

I really like the way that Sylar really took on Zane's personality and mannerisms.
I thought it was interesting that Sylar talked about murder when Dale asked what she heard in his heart (and was that foreshadowing?). Before, I thought of him as mentally disturbed guy who found some sort of justification or purpose in what he was doing. He seemed malevolent, whereas, I'd thought that he thought of his actions as a "necessary" evil. I'm not being very articulate.
I thought that peter just had to touch a person to absorb their powers. He touched Claire, he fought with Sylar.
He didn't have to touch Claude to see him, and I don't think he and Matt touched when Matt was trying to read his mind and vice versa.
I really like the way that Sylar really took on Zane's personality and mannerisms.
Yes! It really struck me how like his speech patterns were to what we saw of the real Zane's. There's no real reason for him to do that - Mohinder didn't know Zane and isn't the least bit suspicious - but it's a nice, thorough touch.
I think he enjoys the process of killing the other supers and taking their powers, as well as thinking he has an imperative of some sort to do it. He reveled in making Mrs. Bennett afraid.
I think he just has to be in their presence AND he doesn't need to be aware of it -- I mean, didn't he toss locker doors w/o realizing that Sylar had that power?
