I loved Sylar in this episode.
Killing Alejandro,
kissing Maya with his dead body in the room.
Shirtless goodness.
The conversation with Suresh!
The whole Molly thing.
Awesome

I'm so glad Sylar was in this one. I can't wait for him to rise in the next episode.

So awesome.

Sylar at his best!

Sylar..oh..yes...Sylar.., And that wonderful fan service

Well, it's a neccesary topic to start.

Obviously, his new moto is "When it doubt, take off your clothes and jump in the shower".


And I think I speak for many when I say I'm fine with that.


*Cough*


Did uh, everyone like the...scene?

well, im not sexually excited by sylar like the OP, but he did raise his Badassery level a few notches, and is a mad pimp now.

I'm still so happy he is acting all evil again.
I can't wait for next weeks episode to see what happens with him.

Yeah, Sylar can now add "Pimp" to his list of powers.


And "Ultimate Badass".

Sorry Anton Chigurh.

he was so sexy this episode... but... he's so evil D:

Did I like it? Is that even a question?

Anyone like Sylar with Molly. The Syhindlar family will be complete... as soon as Maya's out of the way.

god ZQ is AMAZING! his screen time this episode ALMOST makes up for his lack of it in the past 25929007.60236 episodes

but holy, could he have a more stupid and annoying love interest?\

I could take or leave Sylar but, in episodes like this it reminds me of how much he brings to the show. Evil. Deceitful in everyway. l LOVED how he used his sexual prowess to hide that her brother's dead body was three feet away.

I was by myself watching it and said "nice" out loud haha

He is truely a villain of all villains, I hate even more now and will be glad when someone kills him.

I don't think it is really a love interest on his part. She may have fallen in love with him, but he is just using her.

LMAO! i can imagine it now..

... and where is your SArmy banner?



... a SArmy banner would look great... and there are lots to choose from

Sylar has become a joke... a caricature of what used to be cool about him. I am so done with his character and his uber 'cool' casting of his sinister steely gaze from under his heavily plucked eyebrows.

All we needed was him twirling his mustache and laughing bwaaa... haaaa... haaa.

His character has done nothing this season to warrant the bobby-socks swooning over him. A very good actor, yes. Important to this season story arc, no.

Sylar Haterz Unite!

Yes, indeed, Sylar's badassery has skyrocketed more in one episode than in the past ten episodes. I admit it was weird to see him kill Alejandro with an actual weapon. (Well... it was more of a weapon than the legendary “Have a nice day” mug.)

And since no one bright it up... The picnic... It was... beyond description... Nice to see Sylar's name on the screen again, though. It was awesome how he put his life at risk in order to make Maya control her power... The bigger the risk, the bigger the win.

You know what, I haven't joined yet.
I kept on forgetting.
I'll do it now. =D

Mohinder needs to come home and shoot him in the eye, too.

we iz excited !

a poll was conducted ..haters vs lovers ..haters lost in a landslide..
As SArmy Member 49 my job is to defend him and I shall !

The only response I can muster for this is when he was talking about his mother.

All of the sudden, you see this beaten down character. This horribly, horribly crazed man, who suddenly seems to be opening up and crumpling right there. The emotion with which he spoke brought me instantly back to that night in his mother's apartment, and the look on his face when she was stabbed.

This is a guy who I have watched kill, and kill, and kill, and attempt to kill character after character. Characters I loved dearly! And I couldn't help but sympathize because he was so genuine. All of the wrong melted away, so that it was still there, and you couldn't forget it, but you could see the reason in his madness

And then, after all of that, a single look of his eyes, and you just know. You can just see him change by his expression.

If that's not damn fine acting then lord help us, there is no hope

Zachary Quinto is an AMAZINGLY creative actor which is why he was 'promoted' to regular status.
...and thanks for defending him and his acting as Sylar... We Are Sylar's Army and Proud

mmm...shirtless Sylar...
Even better than shirtless Peter! And guess what? I didn't suddenly want Maya to get ran over by a bus when Sylar kissed her! LOL I hated all of Ireland after the Irish Girl/Peter ship started!
Oh and why so many Sylar haters? Hate is a bad thing...

Next week, anyone else think its the end of sylar?


I think he'll get killed next week, because of star trek he doesnt have the time, i really hope they don't kill him

i think i wouldnt watch ne more

Okay, I know we're all big Heroes fans...but let's be honest. No one on the show is going to win an Oscar for their performance. Even Ali (bless her heart), the most accomplished, seems to be just phoning it in. I miss the guest starts...Charlie (memory girl)...Ellen Green (Sylar's mother)...even Charles Deveaux...now these people could act. Kristin Bell really raised the bar for acting on the show. She's that good.

If you want to see Sylar acting fairly well, watch Zach when he was on "24." He was pretty good on that show.

Heck, I'm a straight guy, but I got to say, shirtless Sylar looked pretty damn good. And ZQ's performance in this episode was absolutely amazing. It makes me proud that he is from Pittsburgh.

I totally agree! The guy can act! ..he deserves the exclamation points

I have a feeling Sylar might not be in much of next weeks episode. At least I don't see how they are gonna tie him in with the other plots going on. They have alot of ground to cover in just one episode.

Can Elle kill him already?
Great way to go writers.. now nobody can reverse Mayas power strikes anymore so when she kills someone, they stay dead. -.-

He risked his life to gain her full trust. The picnic scene explained why she believe in him when her brother accused Gabriel of killing his mom. That's understandable.

Yea, I'm hoping they won't try to tie him too much into the finale. It will feel like last season, with the Niki/DL storyline near the end.

I'm glad to see Sylar all villainy again. He was definitely being his bad self in the episode. Glad to see his story taking a significant step forward.

For real?

Sylar is in Mohinder's apartment with Maya, Molly, and who ever else decides to stop by (Niki is expecting to hear from him, and I'm sure Bob keeps him on a tight leash to start with). Not only that, but the only cure is in that apartment as well.

mo's actions in cautionary tales may actually be redeemable if he kills sylar.(which I would be most happy with.) plain and simple:

sylar is a ******

I mean I could see alejandros death coming from a mile away but it just really ****** me off. doin the same god damn thing over and over again. the character is dull and his story is moving down a very preictable, bad, path. In fact its BEEN on that path for quite some time. Its time for him to go.

dont get me wrong though, zach quinto is an AMAZING actor. I wouldnt even be able to watch the show if it was any other actor playing sylar.

along with that and all the other crap "duh" moments this episode, I would have to say... this is the first and I hope last time Ive ever been dissapointed with heroes.

Im glad this finale is coming up. give the show a chance to recover and get back to season ones old ways, once it comes back. that would be good. and hell.. maybe even give sylar a purpose until peter kills him! that would be crazy.

**Deleted**

Why all the Sylar bashing--I think its jealousy. He's hands down the most popular on the show. Why do you people like the bad guy?! Because he's hot!

Thinking about and re-watching the episode--Sylar was and Maya was... and I can't catch my breath. It was A rhaphsodey, a poem, gorgeous and gorgeosity! All in HD--damn I don't have an HD recorder--but soon.

Applause to writer Jesse Alexander! And of course the actors ZQ and DR and SO.

Also to all in the episode great episode 5/5 for me!

(Me doing Kriswell from "Ed Wood") Says I: I predict! This is the episode which will launch a thousand new fan stories! And hundreds of new fan videos!

question: So he's binding Maya to him because he doesn't have his powers back yet?



Kristin Eonline Some hints at spoilers for next week.

I also hope Sylar can have a change in the future. (If he could come back...)
The same behavior (killing) can not go on forever. It will bore people even if they like the actor and his performance.

We've seen that Sylar will get bored with collecting powers eventually. And he will let minions with powers work under him if they serve his purpose. We've seen that he can be a great manipulator. He's also the only one that can balance against Peter, whom may have more powers, but can't use what he has very well. Sylar masters his powers. We need a force to counter all the good.

I'm still surprised so many people think he's good looking

Personally, I can't get past the eyebrows.

He's not just good looking he's FANTASTICALLY GORGEOUS!


Why do you think he's being asked to do FASHION SHOOTS for GQ?

Not every lady out there is digging the Brad Pitt look.

Saying this as a straight man thats about 78% secure in his sexuality, I can see why alot of women dig Zach as Sylar, he's got the whole dark starving artist thing going on.

yeah i hope the writer strike last long enough til when its over hes on the way over to film star trek.

last season, sylar was a bit of a simpering ******. basically peter but evil.

and I really wasn't feelin' it.

this season he's been more laid back, and I've been intruiged. and in the last couple of eps he's been in, he's just upped the evil badass by MANY levels. his manipulation (and empowerment, to be fair) of maya is brilliant and the subsequent romance has been written so well.

he totally outshines adam as a villain. I really hope he kills adam actually, and takes his power. that'd be swell plus he has to balance peter out so he should be immortal really.

LOL they're like caterpillars.

SYLARPILLAR!

This thread is cracking me up.

While I wouldn't say that ZQ is conventionally James Dean, he is very charismatic & is still a visually appealing person. That combined is why so many people love him. The Sylar character just multiplies that because he has that whole dark & sexy thing going on. Although incredibly creepy. It's fun to say so from afar but in all honesty if I met Sylar in person I'd run in the opposite direction.

Anywho, after I allowed myself to be sucked into that conversation I'll get back on track. I think that this years Sylar and last years Sylar are different. I had been extremely disappointed prior to last night. I felt there was very little character growth. Last night it just dawned on me that the problem wasn't the growth it was the lack of screen time and story line.

I love that he doesn't have his powers. I really like seeing the more layed back side of him, it makes him more "serial killer."

He still hasn't risen back to the top of my bad guys list. Anders is rocking that out this season.

As for the acting on the show in general. Well, some of it is not that good,... Who am I kidding, bad. Maya is so over acted it makes me gag.

Some of it I think is excellent. I think the following characters are usually always well played: Nathan, HRG, Sylar, and Elle. Claire, Peter, Angela, Hiro.. They all do a good job of portraying those characters. I haven't seen anything stand up and clap yet but... Well, Hayden did a really good job on last nights episode.

I'll kind of have to agree with this assessment. I don't get why Sylar is on the show this season, except for the fact that he's popular. His story is more of a distraction. Adam is much more of an evil character and I would have liked to see more attention paid to his evil-ness in the last century. We're on episode 11 and Sylar hasn't done anything.

I'm guessing that since we heard the tick tock sound, he has his powers back but now what? What's the point? I'm hoping Peter or Hiro or anyone just finishes the job and gets that guy off the show. His story line is forced because of his fan base. He's not on any side, trying to do anything except to regain his powers so he can go on a serial killing spree again. He was basically a decoy much of season 1, with Peter ultimately becoming the bomb and the virus story is much more compelling than a serial killer. This is not a detective show, where they all work for the authorities and try to stop a murderer. It's a comic book show and they need "end of world" scenarios to band together to stop. It works best when it's a good vs. bad match-up, not a selfish villain murdering everyone he sees. Plus, I can't imagine that any "hero" would want this guy around, since all he would want to do is kill them to steal their power. I think it would take about 15 minutes of any episode to have a few heroes get together and exterminate this guy.

As for ZQ being a "great actor" - I'm not so sure. Maybe for TV but in my opinion he's a bit feminine to be the "big bad guy." I can't stand his high pitch, whisper like voice when he's trying to be sinister. It's almost laughable. The HRG actor is the best on the show - or like in a previous post, the guest actors have been the scene stealers.

Wet and shirtless Sylar made my week last night.

Sylar is great. I can't wait for him to die already.

Hmm, how would I kill him.

Hiro - Slice him, and dice him.
Elle - Fry him like a fish.
Niki - Rip his arms off.
Mikah - Elevator crash, or exploding laptop battery.
Matt - Trap him in a nightmare where he is hunted and has his brains removed, over and over.
Bob - Turn him to Lead, and dump him in the ocean.
Maya - Cry him to death.
West -Fly and drop.

Yes, he must die soon.
