I dunno, crushing hearing-woman in that garage didn't show me much flair or grace. Fairly brutal, pretty pointless. I AM more interested in him with his power back and I like the socio-lethal aspect of his totally id-driven existence but the writers are going to have to work a bit to make me tingle for him again.

My second thought was that he needed a haircut.

The bumpiness of his hair distracted me, but when he got cleaned up for the press conference, I think I actually sighed out loud.

I was actually a little distracted by how slicked-back his hair was for the press conference. But I am a huge fan of floofy hair.

"Gee, Bad Guy! You have the same virus, guess The Company gave it to you! You're not even torturing me, let me ildly muse for a while and give you lots of valuable information."

In some defense, all the shots of him looking at the surveillance camera made me think he was deliberately stalling any way he could in the hopes that someone would come, rescue him and Molly and kill Sylar. Just like Elle tried. "There is absolutely no need for me to take your blood, but i'm going to act like it is necessary in order to stall." Actually, i was thinking there was some brilliant plan to kill Sylar while taking his blood, but there isn't quite enough smart for that sort of pro-action. But stalling in the hope of being saved? Totally Mo.

Shooting Maya like that makes him like any other cold-blooded killer.

As opposed to bashing a guy's head in or stabbing a twin? Sylar should have died in the Plaza, pure and simple.

Yes, sad but true. I love some Evil Sylar, but this half season he was wasted.

Re: Peter (not) walking through walls -- maybe he hasn't remembered yet that he can do that? I seem to recall that he still doesn't remember all of his accumulated powers yet. Although, huh, he did walk through the wall when he and Adam escaped from the facility, right? So, never mind.

Nathaaaaaaaaaaan! Noooooooooo!

Well, it's definitely a power he doesn't seem used to -- he definitely seems to lose track of what he can do, and favors certain powers over others, probably because they come more reflexively. Moreover, Adam had every reason not to remind him of the ability, because he wanted to be alone with the virus while Peter "kept guard" -- Peter would have moved to stop him if he saw him try to unleash it. So I can handwave a little.

This. It might have spared us the Blunder Twins storyline, and if they ever really needed him back the "President Petrelli" version could have followed Future!Hiro backwards in time and been a great surprise appearance at the end of a cliffhanger.

I still don't see what the point of the gemelos aburridos was/is. Especially the brother. In the end, she didn't even need him and his powers never evolved beyond an ability to suck up (and withstand) black eye goo. Most useless power ever! Although, now that Sylar's got his ability back, I bet he'd love to eat the pretty twin's brain and become immune to the black eye goo himself. I think Maya has a really good shot of taking him out. She doesn't even have to get that close. She killed the whole damn town from inside that cheater's shack in wherever the hell they were from.

Distance is not lending enchantment about the finale for me. So many contrived moments. Why, why would Matt, Peter and Nathan discuss their plan to expose the company (and their own powers) in the damn security vault? Peter and Matt have been prisoners of the company and Nathan for damn sure knows how dangerous they are. He's been in Tobby's office, for heaven's sake, with all that lovely surveillance equipment! And not one of them thought, "Hmm. Someone's probably watching this vault like a hawk. Maybe this is not the best place to divulge the details of our master plan to bring this place to its knees." Really? HRG goes home to let his family know about the secret deal he made to keep them safe and the first thing is does is . . . not hug Claire? Wuh-huh? The Mo stupid is a given, always, but as soon as you realize that Sylar has escaped, why not have Molly find him for you so that you can try, at least TRY, to reach him before he injects himself with the healing blood. He is still just a normal, killable man and he's wounded! He just got barbecued courtesy of Elle, so that means he can't move very fast. You're telling me that he managed to get out of the company and far enough away to find a junkie free, dark NYC alley so that he could shoot up? And even if he did, Sylar is now alone in a junkie free, dark NYC alley. Take black eye goo girl, park her at the end of the alley, run like hell and have her turn on the waterworks until Sylar is dead, dead, dead. I don't think the company would have any qualms about the collateral damage. Oh, Mo. You really are useless.

I like the way your mind works KatP. Of COURSE they could have used Molly to find where Sylar went, rather than sitting together in stupidity. Jeesh, you'd think Elle would have thought of that, if Mo couldn't. Then again, everyone in that room, apart from Molly, is severely broken in some way.

"Hmm. Someone's probably watching this vault like a hawk. Maybe this is not the best place to divulge the details of our master plan to bring this place to its knees."

I had some dim hope of a kevlar vest and squibs as part of some flushing out plan but it died with the sad waning of a match flame in a cyclone.

The MA-NA-PE triumvirate know who all the bad guys are now, but are clearly too simple to avoid them.

I remember Nathan, at least, being much more calculating and clever in the beginning. His earnest, "let's show THEM" action was rash and ill-conceived. I can't believe he didn't have the sense to protect himself.

Okay, the further away from the finale I get, the grumpier I become. Feh.

When you come back SHOW, be prepared for some pretty deft 'splainin' or you'll go the way of Lost...ie. dead to me.
