I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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 thought this episode was more boring than it should have been

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.

Why wouldn't not!Sylar revert to his natural state when he died?

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That was a really good episode. Danko's a crazy idiot, but the plot is fun.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wonder if anyone cares that Claire is risking the frat boys getting alcohol poisoning because they're not really going to be able to keep up?

What's the age for alcohol consumption in Mexico, anyway?

Our wings are not tired.

Danko is crazy and arrogant and likely believes he is smarter and in control of Sylar. I'm hoping that Sylar doesn't enjoy the shapeshifting because of the effort.

I didn't really enjoy the episode that much. Didn't like the drinking thing. Want more Hiro, Ando, Matt.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm with Laura. I like watching Quinto and Ivanek bounce off each other, and felt that both the family reunion plots went on too damn long, even if they were necessary to the metaplot.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It does make it pretty clear that Danko's out-of-the-blue genocidal bigotry toward people whose existence he never suspected before this year was a sham, and he's been needlessly sacrificing his own agents' lives (and potentially those of however many innocent people Matt's "terrorist attack" would have killed in Washington) out of some pathological need to gain and abuse power.

Seems like he was born about 70 years too late, and on the wrong continent.
