What? Was there a Heroes last night?

My tivo missed it!

SYTYCD knocked Heroes off of my TV watching schedule last night, but from what I'm reading here and over at TWOP, I'm salty already. At least there was some HRG. That's something.

I love snarky head!Sylar so damn much. Maybe because I love seeing people take the piss out of Matt...

Claire went all Buffy! Parkman remembered to call Mohinder! (Unlike some, I could watch Parkman/Sylar read the phonebook together, squabbling over the pronunciation of names, etc.)

Parkman remembered to call Mohinder!

I thought that was great. So, if Mo calls back and/or comes-a-runnin', and Sylar's in the driver's seat, what kind of wacky hijinks ensue?

Hot monkey sex!!!

In a weird coincidence I watched this week's Heroes with the life/death kid, a day after watching the same kid on Dexter. TCG and I are watching S1 Dexter on DVD.

Finally got caught up. (I still hadn't seen the last two episodes of season 3 until last weekend and then watched this season so far this week.)

Apparently I'm the opposite over every one here.

Not interested in the carnies at all.

I really enjoyed "Acceptance" and thought it had the best dialogue we've gotten from Heroes in a long while.

I still like Hiro, though I'm not thrilled about his current storyline.

While I agree Gretchen is a little on the creepy side, she amuses the hell out of me.

And I'm loving the Parkman and Sylar show. Sylar as the devil on Parkman's shoulder is far more interesting than Sylar the supervillain.

So far I'm enjoying this season a lot more than season 2 or 3.

As for Nathan in Sylar (though it may be a moot point now) trying to find out what happened in the death of his old girlfriend and then confessing to her mother, and that being out of character for both Nathan and Sylar: I think this "Nathan" was more Nathan as Parkman saw him, than the true Nathan.

Parkman didn't have access to all, or even necessarily most, of Nathan's memories. He mentioned to Mrs. Petrelli there would be holes, and she countered that there were enough objects for him to read to fill in the gaps. Between the missing pieces and Parkman's own perceptions, I think the result was a kindler, gentler Nathan. More emphasis on the hero, the statesman, and the father coupled with no memories of the more questionable or ruthless things he had done. It (seemed) to be more of Parkman creating Nathan in Sylar's head than a direct brain transplant. (If Nathan had still been alive at that point to pull from, I wouldn't be surprised if Parkman could do some sort of transplant. Or at least create something much closer to the original.)

As for why Mama P. gave "Nathan" the baseball hat in the first place, I doubt her first association with it was his girlfriend's death. It looked like a box of stuff from when Nathan was younger. "Nathan" was struggling with who we was and it made sense to give him a bunch of stuff likely to trigger happier memories (like the plane did, and that trophy sticking out of the box likely would have.)

You know, I'd forgotten about the touch-power, so that explains to me why the objects. Thanks!
