Also, I'm pretty sure that making Ando happily in love with his sister would have changed the past. Would Ando have gone with him to Las Vegas? Would he have still been taken in by the giant, criminal showgirl?
YES. Thank you. I've defended the Heroes Rules of Time Travel in the past, but the idea that you can literally change ONE thing, especially something as major as a fourteen year romantic relationship for a guy whose entire character is based on romantic misadventures, without there being any other effect is frankly insulting.
However, I am loving Sylar-as-Nathan. Adrian Pasdar is doing a great job of blending the two characters. The confusion...the vulnerability...the underlying confidence and drive.
Agreed! I was totally surprised - in a very good way - at the way Adrian is playing this. (I don't give the writers any credit at all at this point, lol). I used the word innocence, but vulnerability is a good one, too - in some funny way, I think Adrian's Sylar-as-Nathan is the most interesting and frightening Sylar we've seen since S1 precisely because we are seeing that very human neediness instead of crazy!soulless!monster!Sylar.
I <3 you for name-checking Mike's Pastry. I haven't been there in almost ten years and I can still taste the cannoli :-)
For the sake of my sanity, I am pretending that these writers are all new and trying to overcome the pile of poo left by previous writers. They have to change Adno a bit. I'll give them the opportunity as long as they're consistent from here on out.
I just had Cannoli from Mike's last week. So delicious.
