General Discussion

[S1L3N7 HUN73R]

He's ridiculously over powered, and for three seasons now, the show has revolved around him. He's bad, he's good, he's just misunderstood....

Deciet has a point. Sylar's been over powered in order to be balanced against all the other main characters together(Hiro, Anda, Nathan, Peter, Matt, etc). Yeah you're right Grim, Sylar does get much air time but that's because he's the villain. He's one of the main points in the show. What's so awesome about having super powered heroes if they don't have anyone to stop from killing? I have to admit though, Sylar's character has changed alot. I'm not sure if it's how the character is suppose to be or the writers are just messing him up, like they've done with other characters before. But I also think they should have another villain around like Adam, except that they don't kill him that easily.

Or give us a villain the heroes actually kill. Almost every villain that appears (no matter how big or small a role) just gets murdered by Sylar. I think he should be overpowered, but at the same time, he doesn't need to run around killing or battling the villains too. Hell, volume three had an entire episode based around Sylar's plan to pick off both the heroes and villains while they're trapped in The Company building.

Peter seems to have gained a new ability....common sense!

I thought that the scene where Peter shapeshifted into the president and then stabbed Sylar with the tranquilizer was absolutely genius.
Sylar's a tricky one to take down, but it shows that you don't need to have a multitude of powers to defeat him, just clever use of one.
I love Peter having a ton of powers, but it's also nice to see him having to use logic and not just jumping into ridiculous situations without thinking it through first. I think that Peter -and a bunch of others for that matter- really grew as characters this season, which is great.

I still wish they would have used Ando's supercharging on some more people (not even necessarily those who got nerfed), but that will probably come next volume.

Heroes fighting villains > Sylar fighting villains

Yeah, you're right. It's not that fun when Sylar kills the other villains and the heroes are only left to fight him like in every other episode. I'd say we need a few weak or somewhat strong villains like Flint and the other guy(forgot his name).

Knox?

Yeah. It would be cool to see just some other villains. Even if they would end up dead, they could mix the soap for some time.
And for me, it's okay if Sylar fights other villains...if those others would have a chance against him!

Every hero has a weakness. Why this doesn't go with the villains too? They can be cool and stuff, but like Mohinder said to Hiro: "Even if you're a superhuman, you're still a human." (Or whatever he said...)
And no human is perfect! (Although i  thin kthat being unperfect makes people perfect in a way, but you know what i mean.)

Well yeah, Sylar had some issues...after being three volumes totally and purely invincible and untouchable.

Which villains were killed by Sylar?
Only ones I can think of is Candice, Jesse, Bob and Arthur. Which to me, doesn't count as "almost every villain". I don't count Elle as a proper villain and the other level 5 guys were held because their powers were dangerous, not because they were villains (Echo for exapmle)
What about Adam, Linderman, Maury, Knox, Flint, Tracy, Samedi, The hunter, Doyle... just to name some.
You're just over-exaggerating.

The episode I assume you're talking about being either "The butterfly Effect" or "Duel" and in neither did Sylar plan to pick off both Heroes and Villains. In the first, he was after powers since he lost his and his assault in The Company was for this purpose, the people in level 5 that he went after, were villains.
In the later, Angela, Claire, Meredith and HRG were Sylar's targets. The fact that any villains were included at all was due to HRG sending them after Sylar. Again, it was no plan of Sylar's to "pick them off".

What you need to remember is that Sylar's main goal is for power and he doesn't align himself with either side unless he has a reason to. This leaves him to fight whoever he wants.
Life isn't black and white you know.

No spoilers here, but I just want to make everyone aware of one thing.

The list of characters (most-powerful to least-powerful) is going to change drastically this season. Those who saw the Comic-Con footage know what to expect. For the rest of you, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
