Buffy ,'Lessons'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
he of all people should realize that smashed keyboard != unrecoverable data!
Bwah! Yeah, that part struck me as funny too. I was all oh noes, we'll have to replace a 5 dollar peripheral! But then I decided that it could be *symbolic* of damage taken.
Was it really just the keyboard? I figured the entire computer was smashed; I thought I could see bits of drive.
Mohinder came flying (running really fast, not Petrelli flying) at Sylar with his map and SLAMMED it into him, knocking him over.
That was my take, too. Then, after making the smart decision how to stop Sylar from killing Peter, Mohinder became deeply stupid by not killing Sylar. Mohinder knew that Sylar needed to be killed and even had his big farewell speech already. Idiot.
Yeah, but there's a big difference between shooting someone and beating him. Plus, when Mohinder was going to kill him before, he thought that Sylar was disabled.

It was a laptop, if I remember correctly, so smashed keyboard pretty much = smashed computer.
As for Mohinder, he's pretty and has a lovely voice, but I am not at all impressed with his brainpower. Apparently that frickin' brilliant tuning-fork-torture was just a fluke (maybe he read it on the intarwebs somewhere).
Gorramn y'all are making me want to read the comics. I don't have tiiime, I have three weeks to write my dissertaaaation.
Re: the comics whitefont, who is Au Co??
Una, you can read the comics AFTER your dissertation is done. They'll still be new and different in three weeks.

Mohinder had the presence of mind to smash the computer but not Sylar. dumb as a rock.
Kate, Au Co is a Vietnamese woman with the power to make crops grow. Linderman and Petrelli's group was ordered to take her out (they initially thought "Au Co" was a village to be destroyed).
Thought: is Mohinder's dumbness just due to meta needs? Is it possible he was intended by the writers to be dumb as a box of rocks from the beginning? Academic talent does not necessarily keep you from acting in extremely stupid ways in every other area of life. Some of Mohinder's choices in past episodes don't show the greatest judgment. He makes smart moves on occasion, but they are usually outnumbered and outweighed by bad choices. Which fits well with someone with the capacity for intelligence who fails to use it.
