I think that he was that big of a douchebag in the very beginning. We thought he had seen the error of his ways. Now we know that he is not only a douchebag, but a hypocrite.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

That's who that was! I just couldn't place him, the voice was tickling me, but we didn't get to see enough of his face - especially his pretty, pretty eyes - for me to recognize him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The characters on this show have extremely malleable and convenient personalities. I realized tonight that the only reason I'm still watching is I'm a sucker for SF worldbuilding. Even really, really crappy SF worldbuilding.

I watch for the occasional flashes of brilliance like last week's Hiro and his mother scenes. Or the entertaining bits like Kaito chasing Hiro around the kitchen with the sword, or big and little Hiro nodding at each other, or the Hiro, Ando, Daphne and Matt team.

Sylar's House o' Fun falls in that category too. But then they had to ruin it with the "running from the fireball" cliche.
And, yeah, exactly how many personality reversals have Nathan, Mohinder and Sylar (just to name the three most egregious) gone through this season? I'm hoping Bryan Fuller can make something coherent out of this mess.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
A few notes:
- OK. I really shouldn't have been as amused by Hiro punching out Not!Nikki as I was.
- I see no reason why Meredeth has to be dead. Even out of control, she's immune to her own powers. I suspect, once the adrenaline burns itself out of her system, she'll simply hightail it out of there. (Superhero trope #1: No body, no death. Alas, this probably holds true for Sylar, too. Sigh.)
- As annoying as most of this episode was, the team of Matt, Daphne, Hiro and Ando was pretty neat to watch. And I've seen much complaining about Daphne being able to time travel in two directions, which I admit is bad science, but y'know, if Barry Allen could do it, I'm OK with it.
- "Fugitives," despite being more of an X-Men ripoff than usual, has some potential: Instead of "It's the end of the world as we know it," it has the potential to be an actual character-based story again. Of course, as its the arc that Bryan Fuller returns for, I'm a bit heartened.

At least Peter will always have Stupid.
Sylar's body was in that building when Meredith went all Drew Barrymore, right? If he's currently dead/unsconscious, unable to regenerate, and gets caught in a thousand degree inferno, there shouldn't be enough left of him to grow back from when the fire burns out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I see no reason why Meredeth has to be dead. Even out of control, she's immune to her own powers. I suspect, once the adrenaline burns itself out of her system, she'll simply hightail it out of there. (Superhero trope #1: No body, no death. Alas, this probably holds true for Sylar, too. Sigh.)
I think someone said something about the building collapsing. That'd do her. Of course the collapse will probably knock the shard out of Sylar's brain pan, and he'll be back in February.
