LOL on the sexual chemistry between Claire, Noah and Peter (in any combination). You're not kidding about how close Noah and Peter were standing - I was half expecting them to start making out. I read too much slash fic. Maybe Peter has been missing the Petrellicest he used to have with Nathan - though he got a little dose of that too.
Speaking of which, Peter's total lack of reaction to Nathan suddenly having Sylar's #1 freaking signature power was weird. I mean, really. Whether it's been 1 year or 3 years since season 1 (with Heroes, you never can tell), the point is that Nathan has never had those powers. Does Peter think his brother absorbed Sylar's powers at the hotel last season? Or is he just dumb? (Well, given his past characterisation, I think I know the answer...)
I understand what you mean about ZQ taking over the show, but I suppose they have to give the audience some of what they want in order to keep the ratings. With loads of fangirls squeeing after him, ZQ is flavour of the month, so they're milking him while he's theirs (that didn't quite come out right...). I just hope it doesn't test the limits of his range too much - I've seen that happen on other shows and it's been cringeworthy. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next week.
I know that power thing really really bugged the heck out of me. Peter should know much better, but I think the lack of getting laid is getting to the poor boy.
The only thing keeping me interested in Sylar/Nathan now is knowing Adrian is coming back soon, we have the pictures and tweets from Wendy saying he's been on set a lot.
I just hope they don't blow off the fallout from this, Peter deserves to say goodbye to Nathan properly, Claire too.
Glad to know that Adrian is coming back. Maybe they will go with the Sylar-knowing-he-is-Sylar-but-still-playing-Nathan angle I was hoping for originally.
Agree on Peter and Claire needing closure on Nathan's death!
So was I when they talked about the Jekyll and Hyde angle I thought we'd get a lot of scenes of Sylar and Nathan doing mirror conversations. It makes more sense for Nathan to have a Head Sylar then Matt.
Urgh, yes. I'll withhold judgment until I see how that plays out, but if they're going to once more try to cack-handedly "redeem" Sylar, this time by pretending that there's been a Good Gabriel and a Bad Sylar cohabiting in him since season 1 - the latter being conveniently removable - I'll be throwing things at the computer screen. I've read some fanfics like that and it's annoying.
The whole point of Sylar in season 1 IMO was that Gabriel, while no doubt mild-mannered and law-abiding, had some "wanting to be special" issues, a nasty temper, and an OCD nature which all led to him becoming Sylar. Sylar *is* Gabriel, just minus the social niceties - which is incidentally the point of Jekyll and Hyde too. (Plus it makes no sense for actual bits of Sylar to be inhabiting other people anyway - what, is Sylar Lord Voldemort all of a sudden?)

I'm still upset about what JK did to Remus.
