I love Sylar. He's given me the tag that I've had for the last ever. I loved the Mo and Sylar Cross Country Hoyay Caravan of Death. I hung in there when he was driving around ole Mexico with los gemelos aburridos. I kept going when the show asked me to believe that Sylar and Elle were a viable couple when Mo was right there for the taking post 3M. I even hung in there through Sylar/Delko because that was creepy fun if nonsensical. But this Sylathan and the Sylar in Matt's head is killing me. As much as I enjoy Sylar getting his bitch on and making Matt mildly interesting again, he really, really needs to die now. Or at least to go far, far, far away for a very long time.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

I think I want full-out little Sylars and Matts appearing on Dark Parkman's shoulders and arguing with him what he should do next.
I am perverse and I love cliches, what can I say?

Be sure to let me know if they actually do that, as it might motivate me to start watching again.

Would you please get a job writing for the show?

Let's see, how can we make Hiros storyline less annoying? Add Groundhog Day and make suicide funny!

So Samuel didn't give Peter his power, but actually tattooed him?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People don't give Peter powers--he takes one when he sees one he likes.
As for the Hiro subplot, I guess Ando's never going to get to do anything useful or interesting again, huh? Hiro...well, it was just a way to get him to the next stop on his angst train.

Um...since when was Sylar psychometric?
Keep Tracy the hell away from Bennet, writers. *stern glare*

Worst. Episode. Ever. Was anyone else as bored an annoyed as i? What happened to Hiro's nosebleeds? He seems to be doing a lot of time travel with very few side effect this episode which does not bode well for the rest of the season.

Sylar did gank the psychometry from someone--I do remember him having that.
The idea of Tracy with Bennet is the only thing that makes her palatable to me. I FFed through the rest of her scenes.
And wasn't the point of Hiro's last scene that he was in the middle of a scare/power glitch? I don't think they've dropped it, although I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.

Here's an idea. Take the least interesting, least likeable characters on the show and build a whole episode around them.
Bleagh. That episode was painful. And didn't Hiro learn the lesson about not being able to change the past when he was wandering around feudal Japan for elevnty million years back in season 2? Why do we need to see this again? Gah. I frikkin hate Hiro.

Mama P fed him a girl who had that power when she was keeping him on Level 5 and making him think that he was her son. Back when they used to let her do interesting things. Good times.
The Nathan-centric parts of this episode were the least bad (though still far from good). Mama P obviously knew about Sylar having the psyhometric power, so I'm wondering what she's playing at. Was she trying to get Nathan killed? She had to know that old girl (Swoosie Kurtz!! More Swoosie Kurtz!!) was a couple bricks short of a full load and capable of putting a bullet in Nathan's ass. Although, knowing that Nathan was really Sylathan and that Sylar can't die did take a lot of the HSQ out of him dragging himself up from the grave, no? I think I may have yawned, which is not exactly what I imagine the producers were hoping for.
Other thing I liked this episode: Petrelli-cest. The brief Nathan/Peter hug and the mili-second of Peter/Claire was just not enough. Need more Petrelli-cest.
Other things I hated: Pretty much everything else. I don't care to see HRG in saggy jeans and a black t-shirt going through a mid-life crisis. And Claire as life coach? The girl who jumped out of her dorm window in full view of Gracie Sheffield and anyone else who might've happened to be passing by? Yeah, no. I'll pass. I don't care at all about Tracy or anything she does. She's even worse than Nikki and I did not even believe that was possible. And where is Micah? You want to help someone, Sweetie? Try finding your orphan nephew who was last seen on the run from Company assasins. You could start there, you know? Maybe he knows where Molly is, since her two daddies have clearly abandoned her.
They need to bring back the Carnies with a quickness. At least they don't bore me to tears.
