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.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does HRG think Sylar is dead? Someone on WX suggested he doesn't because he looked for a bullet hole and didn't find it. But Danko knows about the required evidence, and he's only partially an idiot.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think HRG knows Sylar is only mostly dead.

Why do you think so?

Because he checked the back of his head. There was something there. I expected him to say to someone "make sure no one takes this out."

Hmm. I did notice that omission of instruction, but I figured he found what he was looking for and thinks Sylar's out of the picture, instead of roaming unrestrained.

there was a knife in the sweet spot on fake sylar's head.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
But didn't Sylar have something jammed into that sweet spot at the end of the last volume (plus a burning building collapsing on top of him)?!
I love Zachary Quinto, but how many times can they not kill him?
I do hope Noah smells a fish, because I love him being badass.

Ayup.
I didn't like this week much. Too slow for me. I get that the two family reunions had to happen, but a sentence or two would have stood me in good stead. And Sylar is back to irritating me--or, well, the writers' handling of him. Too much power, too stupid Danko.
I don't want Danko to win, but I don't want him to be moronic either.
