Did anyone else think "slash!" when Nathan put his arm on Mohinder last night? When I realized it was actually Sylar, it made me laugh even harder because those two were sort of slashy to begin with. I was kind of wondering if it was supposed tobe a clue to Nathan's true identity although I certainly didn't get it at the time. I just noticed it and thought it odd.

I loved the episode, but a lot of it (DL's death, why certain Heroes were rounded up, the dead chick who i guess was Hana) didn't really click until later.

Adrian Pasdar has chemistry with anyone, apparently. But yeah, in retrospect, it's even better. I imagine Sylar looking at Mohinder with little hearts in his eyes.

the dead chick who i guess was Hana

Hana was working with HRG. Which dead chick are you talking about?

But I was wondering why Matt, in the five years he worked for and with Sylar as Nathan never picked up any hint that Nathan was really Sylar.

maybe he had some other power that blocked it out?

Yeah, I think there are a couple of wanks for why Matt never picked up on Sylar.

1) Sylar acquired a power that let him block or shielf himself from Matt's telepathy.

2) Matt was never in the same room with President!Sylar.

3) Matt picked it up, but for reasons unknown, either didn't believe it or kept it to himself.

4) Sylar's mind is so fucked up that Matt couldn't pick his thoughts out.

Also, is Sylar knows what makes the brain "tick", he may have been able to figure out what it is that "broadcasts" the thought. But then, if I were Matt, I would have been suspicious that I didn't get anything.

Also, the first time that we saw Matt and Sylar in the same room, he exhibited powers that should have made it clear that he was not Nathan. Plus, he abandoned the illusion for the fight with Peter.

Same dead chick. I just didn't recognize her, having only seen her once, I think. Honestly, I just now after reading your post, put together that the dead chick was the one who had been working with HRG.

Hana was shot when Matt and his men stormed HRG's underground HQ.

Thanks, Sumi, I didn't remember that.

Was anyone else reminded of the end of "The Wish" with everyone dying left & right?

I kind of think Sylar has had a weird affection for Mohinder since Sylar was Zane.

Heh. Other Buffy fans who are now heroes fans are totally calling it the Wishverse.
