I never got any of this from Sylar. I always got the impression is that Sylar wanted to suck up all the special so he could be the most special special person in Earth. No one can say the dude wasn't loved – his mom loved him, but that wasn't good enough for him. He wanted Daddy love, too.

BTW, if the writers and showrunner had done their job well, there would have been nothing for me or anyone else to pick apart. The four seasons of Heroes do not fit together is a natural, reasonable way, Just because I notice that doesn't me that I'm the problem.

Sylar always cared. He didn't want to be the bomb that killed innocents. He didn't want to kill his mom. He tried to go back and STOP. He tried to commit suicide after his first kill. Even in S1 finale, he wanted to stop Peter and be the Hero. It was sick and demented and twisted, but all he ever wanted was to be special and loved. Its why he fell for the Petrelli ruse in S3, and its why life as Nathan changed his psyche forever. This show fits together so much better then all the HATERS have ever given it credit for, and all the needless picking apart of its characters for not matching our expectations, rather then thinking deeper to understand WHY… now the show's cancelled. Thanks. Lol.

I missed S1 Sylar, too. The few seconds they spent with him being all faux-cheerful were some of my favorite in the episode, and his of the season. Much preferable to the "But I want to be good!" stuff since.

I wondered, too, if it wouldn't have been more interesting to see what if something had gotten through to Sylar sooner. Would it ever have been soon enough? You're right–it aaaaalmost seemed like he cared.

As for Mohinder, well, I'm just hoping he doesn't get a chance to talk much. He's so much prettier when he's not talking.

You know. . . . if Mohinder is the big death of the season, I'm gonna be pissed. I hardly even noticed he was gone, except when pausing to appreciate the lack of a Mo voice over. Samuel has it all wrong: killing Mo wasn't a mistake. It was a favor to science.

For a second, A SECOND, I thought Heroes was going to have ovaries. Upon the news that no one gave a $h1T about his death, Sylar's face twitched in a very Spock sort of way – it bothered him a little. But, not enough to stop. What was really out of character for him was to keep his word to Hiro – Sylar would have taken care of the aneurysm, heard Hiro's piece, then killed them both.

That said, I didn't realize how much I missed S1 Sylar.
