I hate to say it, but I'm actually tired of Sylar. They've munchkinised, unmunchkinised, and remunchkinised him so often that I'm bored with this ride. I want him stuck one way or the other, and for everyone to just deal with it, or die trying.
Who was that in the bed of that truck at the end? And were they dead? I couldn't make out the face; not sure if that's a problem with the copy we downloaded, or the screen we were watching it on. (Or I might need new glasses. Haven't been to the optometrist since 2004.)
Ugh, yes. I was mostly liking (or at least, not hating) his storylines when half of him was dealing with Matt and the other half was alternately amnesiac or Nathan. Now that they're back together, it's just looking like season 3 all over again. Yawn.
The guy in the back of the truck was the angry dude who beat up Samuel. So either they killed him behind Claire's back and dumped his body in the lamest hiding place EVER, or possibly there's a shapeshifter involved helping them put on a show to win over Claire. I'd believe either.
New glasses might be good. Mine were about three years old, and I needed new ones when I got home over the summer. VISION!
I agree with just about everything you said. At this point I'm more interested in seeing what Peter will go through now - and I want to see Emma again! - and I'm pretty much over Sylar and seeing what he's going to do next. I mean, his scenes with Matt were pretty entertaining, and the action sequence between him and Peter was awesome, AND I <3 ZQ, etc. etc... but enough is enough. I think it would have been a great character and plot point for the writers to have somehow had Sylar die along with Nathan, because not only would we have been finished with Sylar for good, but the whole theme of redemption and sacrifice would have run parallel with Matt's decision at the end of Shadowboxing. Anyway, the Peter-Nathan goodbye scene was heartwrenching for me despite the fact that Nathan was already dead, but what you said about the slow-motion falling shot was right on. I was like "sobsobsob.... Um, what? LOL," during that whole sequence.
She might grow on me, but Emma - and even one-shot Madeline way back in "Hysterical Blindness

I'm okay with Sylar when he has shit to DO, like he did with Matt and the carnies. I'm over Sylar when he's being nothing but a cartoon show villain, since it's more or less a rehash of the more annoying parts of late season 3. I was sick of it then, and time hasn't sweetened it.
On the up side, yeah, at least Peter's compensating for it by actually being LIKABLE. Keep it up, Pete.
It was nice to see that Lauren and Noah didn't hook up right away and that she got time - very little time, but time - to try to process what Bennet was telling her, but I'm still irrationally hoping that things between them will turn out to be platonic. Otherwise it'll be like Daphne/Matt all over again, what with the "We were/are going to be in love, so therefore we should be now!!1" BS. Oh man, I didn't even THINK about the Matt/Daphne comparison. D: It'd be nice if Lauren

Hmm, actually, that's a good point. My first assumption is that he's going to go on another brain-hunting adventure, which would bore me, but if the writers go in a different direction and have him start doing what he threatened to do to Matt, Noah, and Ma Petrelli, that would definitely be more interesting.
Did they track him down and kill him after Claire was out of earshot, so he wouldn't talk? (If so, leaving his body out in the parking lot in the bed of a truck? Worst body disposal EVER.)I still think they did kill him rather than use an illusionist, though that's a good theory, too. I mean, there probably was more to it than keeping him quiet, because he got violent and called them freaks, plus it would emphasize their - or, at least Samuel's - more dangerous side
