Ha. I went and made chocolate milk for myself during the show. :D I agree she's moody as heck (bad writers, bad!), but I thought it was a nice break from the monotony of angst.

"They don't give us stamps" -- bless you, woman.

Yes!

How rude and inhuman is that???

I was thinking about that, too! Gibson largely makes up for that appalling breach of etiquette and professionalism by getting Sylar uncuffed, cleaned, tea, talking nicely to him, and trying to save/help him later, but that talking about him in front of him was a bad move.

I love that she promises.

I'm seeing where you got the bit about Sylar seizing on promises and agreements.

Totally agree about Claire. I love the break in monotony - it's just...swinging on the other side of the crazy tree this time and that's what made me notice and dislike it ( ... )

Which evidence specifically? I'm not disputing - I just want to be sure we're thinking of the same things.

My mind's a little scrambled at the moment.

In a nutshell, in S3, Sylar's saved Peter's ass and held true to his (heavily implied) word and was betrayed by the Petrelli parents before he really made a move against them. Bennet technically blew the whistle (to save his own skin), Sylar came after Angela in Duel and Arthur in Our Father after going rogue for Sue Lander's lie detection. Even in the IABD verse, I think Sylar was honoring some sort of invisible pact he (mostly) imagined. I'd have to really think if there's any other times Sylar's done it noteably/at all; let alone if Peter knows about it. He stayed true to Danko (at least, he wasn't going to kill Danko on his way out or so it seemed to me) but Peter wouldn't know about that, neither would Nathan, really.

Considering the stuff Sylar's capable of, Peter got off pretty lightly physically at Mercy. I think Sylar held back there. Emotionally of course, Peter got nuked.

I think Peter would have picked up that 'role behavior' is a HUGE deal for Sylar. It's how Sylar defines his life, far as Peter can see. When his role is being Peter's brother, he has these ideas of what he's supposed to do, like come save Peter from harm, tossing him out the window to protect him, etc. It's ... well, Sylar's idea of what a brother should do is kind of weird to Peter, but he can work with it. Peter wonders if the IABD Gabriel was some sort of Noah's-father-role behavior.

It's a similar concept as the promise/agreement/pact thing.
