I don't see how you can build a healthy relationship with someone who eats brains.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I was gonna say, from that angle, Mohinder's probably the least at-risk-from-Sylar character out there.

Actually, that's kinda awsome.

Which may be the attraction - forever pursuing what you can never have.
Or proabably what never existed is more like it.

But it's not, apparently, unless I'm misunderstanding Mohinder. He keeps saying things like "you would have been" or "you very nearly were" in reference to being dead. I suppose he might mean "permanently," but nothing in the dialogue specifically confirms that they're actually being brought back from the dead.
Maya might just be a case of resuscitation—flatlining, but her cells didn't have time to die before she was infused with the blood. Bennet, however, had a visibly substantial part of his brain destroyed and was also shown with the milky cataract eye of room temperature corpsedom.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it would be alarming to the average person to know they were dead and resuscitated from being dead for 10 hours through someone else's blood.
So it probably is Mohinder showing a bedside manner of sorts to tell people "you were nearly dead."

Yeah, I think "you nearly were" was just something Mohinder said to be kind. Bennett looked really most sincerely dead.
Did HRG saying "I made a deal" give anyone else Lando Calrissian flashbacks?

Just the way he walked in the door made me think he came back wrong. I had to double check that Candace wasn't a possibility.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Mohinder/Sylar is a very popular slash pairing in the fandom (with the portmanteau being, god help me, Mylar).
See tag. I love Mylar because it's wrong and twisted and dark. And some down and dirty hate sex? Bring it. But the last thing I ever would want to see is some woobified, twu wuv crap.
The fact that Claire and Adam (and maybe Peter)'s blood can heal people at all annoys me. (Jess speaks for me on this point) The fact that it may be able to bring people back from the dead makes me crazy. I can handwave and say, "Well, maybe Maya was just mostly dead." It's harder for me to swallow that HRG wasn't well and truly dead - if not in that parking lot, surely it would stand to reason that he croaked some time during the 5+ hour flight back to NY and the company's lair. Eh. I don't wanna be all hand wave-y and fanwank-y and it's only the middle of season 2.
I will be pissed if HRG is now powered as a result of the transfusion, or if Maya and Nathan are suddenly invincible.
