And the further neutering of Sylar continues. Now, instead of having to take powers by cutting off the top of a person's head, he can now, like former President Bill Clinton, feel another person's pain. Oh, and let's have the literal sparks fly between him and Elle, complete with each of them bathed in sweat and Zachario Quinto shirtless to get the female viewer all hot and heavy.
Even so, the way that "therapy session" was shot, especially the backlit of Sylar as he's being zapped was incredible...although very, very reminiscent of Watchmen.
Oh, and while we're at it, let's make Hiro even more annoying by giving him the brain of a 10 year old kid. Sure, it's funny seeing Ando teach Hiro how to use his powers, not to mention Hiro's reaction to the comics ("Captain America dead! Spider-Man reveals his secret identity! Hulk is red! What on Earth is going on?!") but you can be sure this gimmick will get old real fast.
Oh, and Tracy decides to work for Arthur, and Daphne switches sides, and MohinDUH! now feels sorry for experimenting on people. It's all about shifting alligences, i.e. character inconsistency.
Still, there was some good moments. Peter, for once, actually used his head to defeat the bad guys, so there are assets of him not having powers that he can be dependant upon and still come off as a hero. And the scene in which Matt is in Angela's mind and discovering the truth about Daphne has that touch of the surreal.
Oh well, at least we get two episodes worth of nobody having powers.
Elle hates Claire because Claire has what Elle always wanted, a loving family. Peter has nothing in common with Elle either.
