ya that killing didn't make sense to me either, my girlfriend just wrote it off as he had the hunger.

Now that I think about it, it was either

A to obtain the information concerning his file about his parents

or

B they didn't have any more use for Elle

(this show bothers me on how they discard characters they didn't even explain what happened with Jessica's family but then again with Hiro as a main character any story is liable to be able to simply go back and talk about it at any time)

I doubt Sylar cut Elle open to get info about his file that Noah was talking about.  His power is to understand how things work, and he hasn't shown that his ability includes thought dissection.  He'd have to kill/make out with Parkman for that one

I honestly don't know what to think of Sylar with all of the personality changes he's gone through.

Yep.

The show flirts with returning to season 1's standards and then quickly throws that out the window by doing stupid things like killing Elle and changing Sylar's alliegences constantly. Nathan is much the same, one minute he's turning into a pretty genuine and sentimental person like Peter then he's back to his political instincts.

I'll look for it. Thanks.

Peter could understand their intentions when he took Sylar's power. Maybe Sylar has it too.

EDIT: Typos

Why he did it after gaining her power already, I don't know and I doubt they'll tell us.

Word. They probably didn't have any use for that scene and didn't put any thought into it.

What's really annoying me is how there's no structure to this at all. There's a general plot each season (some Bad Event in the near future they have to stop), but there's no flow or reason for the things that happen in any given episode. Prime example is the eclipse. What the hell was that for? People lost their powers for a few hours, then... Oh, back to normal. Pfft.

I was thinking/hoping maybe the eclipse reset the powers of people who'd had them taken by Pa Petrelli. So Peter would have lost all his accumulated powers but would once again have his base power of being able to absorb others'. But I haven't seen him fly yet, so I guess not.

The way I understood it, Sylar's drastic change in personality stems from weather or not he is using his power, when he does use it he gets carried away.

I am liking this season, Elle is my favourite so far (along with Daphne and Meredith) so I hope they don't kill her off permanantly.

Eclipse Part 1 + 2 is on in a few hours for me!!

He realised she was lying, that she was involved in the cover-up of the Petrellis not being his real parents, that she could've told him at any time. Isn't that reason enough for a demented phychopath to kill, regardless of the fact he wasn't getting her powers?

Seams reasonable. It actually made a lot of sense, Sylar being a Petrelli, because he has the same power as Peter and Arthur.

Good stuff this week. Sylar's back on form alright - woo-ee! The look on his face when he says 'Got me' was absolutely priceless. Good levels of drama as well with the stand-off and Hiro's mum.

I feel compelled as ever to criticise, though. The effect of Hiro being flung off the roof was very dodgy, and the climax was pointless. (Some guy gets super strength after being injected - big deal. Suresh did exactly the same thing and look how he turned out.)

The catalyst... What the hell is that? With most of the series being grounded in some sort of science - however spurious - a shimmering, ghostly entity travelling from host to host doesn't fit. (Maybe they've been playing MxO. ) How did the Company create it in the first place? Or did they find it somewhere and build the formula around it?

*Draws breath.*

And how many people have owned that blasted rooftop?

yeah im glad sylar was back although im kinda shock that Sylar didn't try to take peters father powers  and the scene with Hiro and his mom was very good same with Clare and her father im looking forward to next week although the holiday break is gonna be a pain to wait for 

Another hilarious moment is when Sylar is just standing next to that guy covered in blood with the elevator music in the background. He says "Hmm... it does tingle" and the guy is freaking out.

It needed this.

Well that was a completely lame way to kill Arthur Petrelli.

The comic that released with the episode made the death of Arthur Petrelli seem more passionate, but I think honestly if you have to use another medium in order to explain the original work, then something's not really working.

I feel like the twists and turns through Sylar's personality definitely kind of ruined his whole serial killer personality, but eh, I still like it more than the daddy's boy personality.

two intresting Reads here

Lex Luthor's Dad on smallVille will play Sylars Father in a upcoming episode and a interview with the director both sound very intresting and looking forward to it.
