30 Days of Heroes - Day 11 - Best Death Scene - The Fifth Stage

[sylar]

Technically Nathan was already dead. I don’t care that Sylar had Nathan’s memories. Memories are not the soul/mind. Parkman couldn’t take those from Nathan before he died, because he was already dead. He shoved Sylar out - sort of - but no matter what Angela wanted Nathan wasn’t really in there.

But this scene hits hard because of poor Peter. He was lied to, cheated of grieving for his brother because of Angela’s lies. (I still can’t believe that Noah went along with it. He’s usually smarter than that.) Peter’s heart is broken. The most important person in his world is gone, and he’s got to face it. He doesn’t want to. He’s angry. He’s hurt, and he goes through all the stages of grief in one episode. It’s powerful and painful.

I felt so bad for Peter. He was the victim here, and he’s got to deal with the guilt of the biggest mistake he ever made-leaving Nathan alone with Sylar at the end of season 3 when Nathan’s the one who should have flown the President to safety, leaving Sylar for Peter to deal with.
