What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I was just thinking "how did no one notice that he was suddenly wearing glasses"?
Heh, I know. I noticed almost immediately and was glad that it came up.
um, I was really disturbed with the Norman Bates stuff.
Yeeeeah.
Is Sylar suddenly completely unkillable, or does Danko just have bad aim? Hm.
I couldn't believe Sylar could actually shift into Micah. Geez, that must have fucking HURT.

Art Crawl!!!
I think that the shapeshifting combining with the invulnerability mean that the back of the head is no longer the place to kill Sylar.
I think now you have to chop his head off.
Of course, he may be able to regenerate and then you would have TWO Sylars.

sumi,

ooh. nice job putting things together.
if you cut off said head, froze it in liquid nitrogen, smashed it into pieces, and submerged all the pieces in lye, then mixed the solution with bleach, flushed parts of the solution in 5 different toilets across the world - I bet that Sylar doesn't come back.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yeah, Lea and I were talking about how this would be a great arc to put him down on. He's getting to be the big bad, with a plan bigger than "going boom," and he's had his moments of self-discovery. Time to put a fork in him. Let him go out with style, so long as he goes out.

well, now, that's the question, isn't it?
I think that the shapeshifting combining with the invulnerability mean that the back of the head is no longer the place to kill Sylar.
I think so too. Sylar says that shifting rewrites his DNA, so maybe that is some of it.

Doesn't that mean that he shouldn't have access to all his other powers while he's shapechanged into someone else's form?

Maybe it should, but he does, since we saw him write "I am Sylar" on his arm, then heal when he was Taub.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the rewriting, but to say he shouldn't have access to all his powers is a bit of an assumption. He's obviously got a couple of his powers, still, such as the healing and psychometry, but perhaps he doesn't have access to other abilities he's picked up. Who can say? We have no context to answer that question.
(It's a bit like the "why didn't the dead shapechanger revert to his real form?" question. We only make that assumption because the only shapechangers we've ever seen are fictional, and they tend to do that. But I don't see any reason why that would have to be the case.)
