Loved this episode for Sylar content.

I get why Greg is wearing a shirt, but why Matt should be shirtless because Sylar is. To this day, that's still a weird picture - Sylar in Matt's body doing Sylar's "Hungry Like The Wolf" sex moves.

Sylar *really* liked getting fawned over like that...

Sylar/food. I ship. The end.

"Forbidden fruit" This is actually one of Sylar's kinks, wanting what he can't (or rather, shouldn't) have.

Someone pointed out that there was, like, three episode intros in a row where Sy was shirtless. This makes two to my count...Let's all play 'Can you spot the shirtless Sylar?'

This police officer. I forgot how much I hate him. The smiling with the dickhead attitude...wow. Great acting.

Bennet on the phone: "It's me" ooh, an interesting twist in this relationship. You can see why I can see why they can be shipped.

That car...in the south where Tracy probably had to fly to get there...or she took the sewage system. That car bothers me, though. Is it necessary?

I realized why Samuel pushed the 'you're not a politician/senator/fighter pilot'. He's pushing people away from Claire to make her come to the carnie. Sam's pushing occupations that may require Sylar to go back it or check in, preventing Sy from looking elsewhere and...keeping him laid with Lydia doesn't hurt, I guess. It has nothing to do with what Sam believes.

Damnit, but this ep has lesbians, lame plots and sweetheart Jeremy dying!

Ha! I hadn't even noticed the shirt/no-shirt thing until you mentioned it. And yeah, Sylar *really* liked that! A little appreciation goes so far with him (and with Peter ... but not, say, with Noah or Matt).

:D

Yeah, they're a great ship, much better than the later Lauren crap.

It's a Nissan. Probably necessary for funding. I'll take a few tens of seconds of exposure to the car in exchange for having money to do a few extra special effects.

And that is the frustrating core of what bothers me so much about the carnival. We never find out what Sam believes, or what his motivations are. He says what he wants, but we aren't shown WHY. Even the retrospective explanation of 'he needs a lot of specials around him to be powerful' doesn't explain why he needs that power or what he's going to do with it. It *looks* like he's a megalomaniac-in-training, but at what point did he decide to be that way?
