Okay, totally and completely in love with the frames and angles and editing. Peter's plea to God in the cathedral was awesome.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

I was enjoying the Nathan starts a drinking bet and Claire having to finish it, until I realized it was merely a set-up for Nathan's drunken "confession" and change of heart. Which ended up being a bit weak sauce.
Has Sylar ever looked so hot? I was never a Sylar-gal, but he's totally working every inch of the screen tonight. And the shots of him in the rain were verging on iconic.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I thought this episode was more boring than it should have been, but Sylar was hot.
Why wouldn't not!Sylar revert to his natural state when he died?

Is Danko so blinded by his desire to capture/wipe out all the gifted peoples that he doesn't see or care that he's helping to create an unbeatable, unstoppable supervillian who is taking on all the powers of the people he is seeking to neutralize? Does he think that having all the dangers in one person will be easier to take out than in many? Divide and conquer, anyone? Methinks there is much more to Danko, because this is just crazy talk.

I couldn't tell, I was too busy eating up the poetic visuals.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Because?
I agree, it's not really consistent with how we've seen other character's powers behave following loss of consciousness/death.
On the other hand, the change did seem to require a lot of physical exertion (including Sylar returning to his normal form) so I would guess that the way the power works is that each form is a new natural state (it doesn't require concentration/an active power to maintain) and the power involves the actual shifting between shapes.
Is Danko so blinded by his desire to capture/wipe out all the gifted peoples that he doesn't see or care that he's helping to create an unbeatable, unstoppable supervillian who is taking on all the powers of the people he is seeking to neutralize?
I think Danko has an over-inflated opinion of himself and believes no matter how powerful Sylar gets, he can still take him.
Or maybe he is just completely batshit.

I think that Danko thinks that he can control Sylar. Has he realized that he has just subscribed to the "one of us, one of them" concept?

Also, love Claire's new look. Hooray for bangs!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Claire had freckles tonight. I swear they haven't always been visible.
Danko's crazier than I'd thought. Narratively I hate the idea of shapeshifter Sylar. Too much. Especially since they've hamstrung the good guys.
