I liked that he blamed others and was delusional about what he was doing, but this affirmation of his lack of responsibility is just not good form, not at all.
I'm not crazy about the "hunger" thing (entertaining as it was to see Peter go brain-crazy, LOL). But it seemed to me like they're not going quite so far as to make Sylar blameless. (Yet. Time will tell...) Judging from his conversation with Peter, future!Gabriel still feels responsible for his actions as Sylar. Despite the fact that the "hunger" gives him the perfect excuse NOT to take the blame.
Maybe he decided that if he's blameless for his actions, that also means it's something he can't CHANGE. And if he couldn't change, he would never possibly have been fit to be a dad to Noah Jr.
Jessica never existed? What the hell? Someone please explain this to me.
The real Jessica died when Niki was a kid. The "Jessica" in season 1 and 2 really was Niki having multiple personality issues, pushed to extremes by her powers. So Niki, Tracy, and Barbara are the triplets, and

Yeah, he does feel bad about it in the future, but I'm almost afraid to go down this route because I like Sylar for being as unapologetic as he usually is when he's killing people. If he actually does turn into Future!Gabriel and constantly emos about all that he's done, it would remind me too much of either Angel (or season 6-7 Willow). Ugh, I'm just really disatisfied with it right now, but I'm waiting to see where the writers will take this. I do agree with you about Peter, though. LOL HUNGRY HUNGRY PETRELLIS :D

And if he couldn't change, he would never possibly have been fit to be a dad to Noah Jr. Hmm, you do have a good point here. Why would he put his own kid to risk when he knows how dangerous he is? I guess this could be chalked up to another instance of Sylar being selfish and needing others to validate him, and it would make sense for a kinder, gentler, or brainwashed Sylar to want to raise an innocent who's

That's why they're exploring it in a future-plotline, I guess: they don't intend to have Sylar turn out that way (not completely, at least), but they want to show that he COULD if he had the proper motivation. Though personally, I didn't see Gabriel being THAT emo about it. He admitted he struggled with the "hunger" and regretted what he did to some degree, but he was doing his best to keep it buried so he could live his life for his son. Peter's the one who brought it up.
I guess this could be chalked up to another instance of Sylar being selfish and needing others to validate him, and it would make sense for a kinder, gentler, or brainwashed Sylar to want to raise an innocent who's ignorant of Sylar's past. There's definitely that selfishness and need for validation, but he DID genuinely love the kid. Enough to turn his back on "Sylar" and his powers,

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, and I don't really think TPTB are going to totally rewrite Sylar. It did seem like he was putting on this front because of his kid - and I'm sure he was happy in his situation - but you're right, Gabriel only started being angst when Peter made his intentions clear.
There's definitely that selfishness and need for validation, but he DID genuinely love the kid. Enough to turn his back on "Sylar" and his powers, and try his best to be the kind of dad he thought Noah Jr. deserved. I get what you're saying, but what throws me off so much is the canon possibility that Sylar is capable of actually loving someone. It does seem like the writers wanted to put this idea in our heads to throw us off, and I do think it's interesting, but I still don't want this to come to fruition in the near future, if at all. He's got a loooong way to go if he wants to achieve true redemption, and I'm very interested to see how the writers will have him go down this road (because I'm assuming that they are

cookie_simone actually came up with the theory that Sylar gained the ability to bear children and that the father is Mohinder, but he couldn’t visit them anymore because he was scaring Noah Jr. too much. Hey, is it more ridiculous than what might actually take place in the future? I rest my case.
No, no, Ang! Noah's the father. It's why the kid is blonde and named Noah!
Oops! Wait, but then what happened to HRG? Did Cockalizard!Mohinder eat him because he was jealous?! These are the types of questions TPTB should be answering on the show!
WELL, I'm inclined to say that HRG died tragically in the line of duty, but that one's no fun, so let's go with "Mohinder got jelass, so he decided to steal HRG away from Sylar, and then accidentally sexed Bennet to death."
