Argh! Sylar! Out of my head!!

[misachan]

I only remember bits and pieces, but there was one nightmare scene that stuck. The dream was set sometime in the future; Peter had a cool anime scar down his face. Peter and Sylar where facing off and in the context of the dream they'd clearly thrown down before and knew exactly what each other was capable of, and most importantly how each other's powers worked.

Sylar had apparently been threatening people Peter cared about, and Peter was upset, understandably, but in the dream he was confident he'd covered all his bases.

Then Sylar laughed at him. "You shouldn't be so sure, Peter. I've learned a new trick."

"I don't care what new power you've stolen. You need to be locked up, and I'm gonna do it."

"Oh, I don't know," Sylar said. "I think you'll like this one." Then he went invisible.

Peter freaked the hell out and telekinetically threw Sylar against the wall. I don't remember all of the fight, but I know at one point Sylar was mocking Peter and asking if Peter knew what a heartbeat sounded like right before it stopped. And I'm pretty sure he was mimicking Claude's accent, at one point.

Okay, subconscious? You can go right back to those nice Peter/Isaac dreams any time. No more Sylar in my brain, murdering my favorite characters.

As much as Sylar creeps me out, he's a great villain, and I hope we're not rid of him anytime soon.

Truth be told, he creeps me out too much, and I hope they kill him soon, because I get seriously unsettled when he's on screen. I suppose that's one reason I'm so attached to the idea of Peter going grey - like you say, he's so very powerful he's hard to balance against the others.

I must say, if this show becomes multi-season, I think it'll be very hard for them to keep Peter around at all.

I'm about done with Niki. She and D.L. can get killed, and Micah can meet Claude on the road somewhere and form a super-thieving duo

I have nothing against DL, but they haven't done anything with him yet. So far, storywise, he's been almost all reaction and no action.

Her story is still so much smaller than everyone else's, and I feel like the show treads water everytime she's on.

I'm not sure it is smaller, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's like they think, once they reveal what the hell's the deal with Jessica, there's nothing left to say.

But I got to say, while Ali Larter is a good enough actress, both characters are way too flat - they only get depth by playing off each other, not on their own.
