Link goes to photo. Nothing about ‘Crazy Eyes’ staying on the show.
That must be short for “Crazy Eyebrows”.
Sorry, my attempt at a SylarRoll.
I was digging the peisode, especially when Peter tricked Syalr in the Presidential Limo. But the ending was beyond stupid. So the most dangerous human on the plane, possibly, with just a couple of issues in the moral grey areas (to be polite) is kept alive by the very people who know exactly how dangerous he is.
huh?

I just don’t think Ali Larter is that good of an actor to pull off some of the dramatic stuff they asked her to do. It seemed to me that in just about every scene, she’s got that one kind of blank/frowny look with the top teeth poking out.
I admit, she isn’t bad to look at at all and the strong woman with the dual personality was an interesting character (that sputtered and splatted like you said).
Here’s her third shot as the water woman, maybe this time it’ll stick.
The question is: How do you kill him? He just got shot up with horse tranquilzers, so you have a brief opportunity to hit “the spot”, but what if you don’t know where it is now?
Woodchipper.
Good plan - now where would they get a woodchipper at this hour?
Seriously. They shot him with the horse tranq, but since Sylar has Claire’s healing, there is no telling how long he’ll be out. They could start chopping him into tiny bits with a fire axe, but if he regains consciousness, it’s all over.
I think neutering him and keeping him on a short leash is the best plan, at least for the short term. I’m sure they have a long-term plan for him.
>snerk<
I think something fishy is going on with Ali Larter remaining in the show still. Is this incarnation still Tracy (who has morphed from freezing to waterworks for some reason) or is this the third clone, Babs? There’s been…4 Larter characters (Niki, Jessica…what’s her face who got D.L. killed and Traci) and all of them were snoozefests.
Now taking bets on whether Sylar’s ‘playing the game’ as Nathan. My guess is that he is and is waiting for the perfect reveal. Or he’ll realise it, and wait for the reveal.
There were at least 5 ways of dealing with the Nathan situation I can think of, they chose the worst way;
- Inject Nathan with Sylar’s blood (he is right there, after all). Since he has Claire’s ability, it’s worth a shot - he ain’t gonna get any more dead.
- Get hold of Claire and do the same.
- Get Peter to double as Nathan. This one only really works if Peter took all of Nathan’s powers; he’d need the ‘history of an object’ one to pull it off. Yes it’s inconvenient, but all he’d need to do would be tell the pres ‘about this ability people thing, let’s call it a day, eh?’ and then feign a tragic car crash, which would enable Peter to return (I doubt anybody would have missed him that much).
- What they actually did, but Haitian-whammy him too to be extra sure.
- What they actually did.
Options 1 to 3 would allow them to finally kill Sylar (chop his head off, put in a jiffy bag, buy woodchipper). I’d rather they technobabbled their way out of 1/2, have them try it but it doesn’t work for some reason (only works a certain number of times or somesuch).
Gah.
Both Adam Monroe and that one former company lady said that cutting off his head would do the trick. Of course, they had no way to know for sure.
I thought it was made clear at the end that Matt effectively Haitian’d Sylar, with the montage of Sylar memories fading away and being replaced by Nathan memories.
I think the ending was a pretty clever way of resolving the various plot threads going on. Throughout the whole volume, Sylar is struggling with identity, and goes in search of his father. Afterward, he gains a new resolve, only to have it screwed over by the shape-shifting. He’s finally hoisted by his own petard, and is knocked out. Death is too good for him, so instead, he undergoes a complete identity erasure. His worst fear through the last few episodes has come to pass: Sylar is gone, and has been replaced by someone else. It’s the perfect ending to the Sylar saga.
Thematically, yeah, interesting view but the setup’s for his death of personality to abate. Which is fine, as long as it’s interesting.
It probably speaks well for the show that I give enough of a shit to care that they killed Nathan, a misguided egomaniac, but a fundamentally decent person.
Please tell me you weren’t PWD on this one. 
Well, I dunno about Nathan, but I hate Sylar. And giving him every single fucking power is just too crazy. Of course he comes back next year. Boo!:mad:
About “creepy Zachary Quinto face” I read his interview in Playboy and he seems like a bigger asshole in person that his character is.
I am thinking about skipping the new Star Trek film becuase he’s in it. Man, what a stupid choice.
We learned in an earlier episode that Peter can only copy and hold on to one power at a time since being drained by daddy Petrelli. He’s been holding on to the ability to fly for a few episodes, and during the last fight with Sylar he steals Sylar’s shape-shifting power. This means he cannot have stolen any other power from Sylar, and cannot regenerate, fly, etc. At this point Peter is only able to shape shift (and copy another power, which is his native ability).
As for the episode itself, and in fact the show over the last few months, I can only say that I have rarely seen such a sloppy and uninspired bunch of cagal. There must be something seriously wrong when a show about superheroes and villains produces episode after episode of tedious snooze-fests and cheaply contrived plot twists that serve only to fill air time so the writers can reach the end of the season and go on holiday or something.
The perfect example of the incompetence and stupidity that has gone into this show over the last episodes is encapsulated perfectly in the scene when the Petrelli brothers fight Sylar. Possible spoilers ahead.
After several episodes of interminable boredom broken up by more entertaining scenes that involve Hiro and Ando, we are finally presented with a showdown between the ultimate villain and the forces of good (more like the forces of idiocy, but whatever).
We get a few seconds of classic Western-style showdown where the tension mounts rapidly. Here are the brothers at long last acting like a team and exuding deadly resolve. Here is a shot of Sylar standing wide-legged and confident like a gunslinger about to deal out death. Watch as the lightning begins to crackle from the fiend’s hands! The brothers launch themselves to the attack - look at them hurtle through the doorway toward their enemy! Sit on the edge of your seat as Sylar arcs bolts of energy at them - a brother is hit and hurled aside -
The doors slam shut, leaving the audience to contemplate the wood panelling and brass doorknobs. End scene.
What team of cretins wrote that? Talk about an anti-climax in the finale. In fact this entire volume has consisted of one anti-climax after another, strung together by the inane sub-plots of characters endlessly struggling with their moral compass and figuratively milling around aimlessly. This show has become as pointless as the childish and tedious teenage love story we were being fed in Season 2, which prompted the producers to issue a public apology for their ineptitude.
And never mind the obtuse plot, or trying to understand how two guys who can fly can be more than a microsecond’s work for Sylar, or the inexplicable forgetfulness of everyone regarding the healing abilities of Claire’s blood. This is probably the worst season finale of anything that I have ever seen.
I also thought the Volume 5 teaser of Nathan/Sylar fixing the clock (indicating that the removal of Sylar’s ego might not have been successful) was shamelessly ripped from the end of X-Men The Last Stand. At the end of that film, the arch-villain Magneto, permanently deprived of his powers, appears to move a metallic chess piece without touching it (indicating that the removal of his powers might not be permanent).
If the water woman is anyone other than Tracy, it would really surprise me since they showed shattered ice Tracy’s eye blinking, indicating that she’s still alive somehow, and of course she’d melt eventually. It would make little or no sense to make the water woman be anyone other than Tracy. Then again, we ARE talking about the writers for Heroes, so that is a definite possibility I suppose.
I think this could be explained a number of ways - Sylar’s ‘power’ is the ability to add more powers, but at the point Peter touched Sylar, Sylar had accumulated many individual powers.
So, When Peter takes/borrows a power - is he taking the native power or the cumulative powers?
Since, prior to Sylar, he’s only had single powered people to deal with, you can’t use that as evidence of “can only take a single power” - it hasnt been tested what happens when he takes a power from one such as Sylar.
What was obvious - the wounds on his forehead hadn’t healed yet - but that could be due to his not ‘using’ that power… or perhaps the makeup artists wanted there to be some lingering affect (reminder) of the fight.
Well even if he could heal himself, there would still be blood on his forehead. Was it obvious that it hadn’t healed?
Previously whenever Claire was shown healing, the blood got kind of sucked back into her body.
Honestly, the writing is so bad on this show that trying to use clues to figure out who has what powers or what they’re capable of or even who is who is like trying to use the book of Genesis to figure out the age of the earth. Not gonna happen.
