"Are you in my head again?" *chuckles* "Calm down Parkman, that was so two months ago." So this means Sylar was in Matt's head? This always confused me because sometimes I couldn't help but to wonder if it wasn't really Sylar but the projection of Matt's subconscious and powers screwing with him.
Yes! Personally, I like that theory better than the weird soul-split one, but you're right that Sylar's comment (and probable stories he was telling) strongly backs up the idea that his current consciousness is the same one that was in Matt's head before.
"You've become the empath to replace Joseph." So was this why he wanted Peter? He wanted another empath? I'm curious if this means Joseph was an empath like Peter was in the early seasons with "all the bells an whistles" as someone suggested before in one of the previous rewatches.Apparently at some point that we didn't get to see, or that I don't recall, Samuel was told that Joseph's replacement would be an empath who would join them very soon, or be revealed to them very soon.

Apparently at some point that we didn't get to see, or that I don't recall, Samuel was told that Joseph's replacement would be an empath who would join them very soon, or be revealed to them very soon. So he went out and tried (kind of badly) to recruit Peter Petrelli, but did such a lousy job of it that I wonder if he was being insincere.
That would explain some things if he wasn't really trying. He seemed to give up on recruiting Peter more quickly than he did on Claire.
After all, Sylar's "mind" had to go somewhere (stored inside Matt). Matt's BODY was the one to touch SYLAR'S body (as Nathan) at the hospital in...Texas. I literally went "Oh, crap. My whole thing of Sylar in MBU knowing about Matt's life and what went on when Sylar's body-mind were separated might be not only really dumb and inprobably, but not-canon?!" It makes sense to me that that same consciousness (memories and all) would transfer over to the (Sylar's) body.
It was stated that Peter would be the ideal replacement for Joseph and that Joseph had a power (although both were quite late in the season, urgh!) I think the tie-in we were SUPPOSED to draw was that Peter=empath, Joseph's position requires an empath therefor Joseph must have been an empath...Question mark? I do not recall it ever being said that Joseph was an empath on the show. I had to check Heroes Wiki. Good grief, show. Good grief.

Sylar's lines and ZQ's delivery are so phenomenal in these scenes with Matt. The best.
I bet they are true stories.
