. The fact that they didn't have the balls to kill Sylar is only underlined by what a great villain Knepper is, yet you know it is inevitable that he will be killed by Sylar to make Sylar seem more B.A.. I don't get why the writers are scared to take risks. Danko, Adam, and now Knepper's character have all been great, yet they are always overshadowed by the ridiculous return of Sylar. Every volume is the same. Sylar is seemingly disabled, but then he's back, kills old villain and becomes the big bad. Until Heroes breaks formula, its going to continue its decline...sadly I don't think it'll make it past November sweeps so it may all be moot.
