Heroes: Sylar's Character (Season 3 Spoilers)

I have to say that I dislike what they've been doing to his character. The suicide attempt, sure, I can accept that within everything we know about him, but I take issue with the snap acceptance of Angela as his mother, and the "New and Improved Sylar: With Camp!" style his character has taken this season.


  • I feel there's friction between Zachary Quinto and the lines he's being made to speak.

    Back in first season, we saw passion from the young actor, and why not--He had some great lines and some great scenes. The forcefulness in his voice when he asked Mohinder who the real parasite was (Parasite); The weakness in his body language when he was around his mom, begging her to say he could be normal (The Hard Part); The way he mocked Claire's mom as he told her straight up how he might kill her first (Distractions); And the way he sounded and looked lost and dazed as he whispered on how he could be president, all the while painting with his mother's blood (The Hard Part). Zachary Quinto's shown that he can act well.

    But really, how much can an actor do? He's been faced with lines like "It made me into a killer... A monster..." That made Sylar fans cringe. What happened to the bad ass who looked out upon New York City and whispered "Boom," with a wicked grin on his face?

    Now this is where I find our reason:

  • He turned into a pansy after one unsubstantiated claim by Angela Petrelli that she was his mother. Maybe he's been blinded, what with his mother's recent death, and only recently being cured of the Shanti virus, but he's a driven individual, and he's not that fucking stupid. The Sylar of season 1 would've lolled at her and sliced her fucking head open.

    Some of you would say that his sheer desire to be special would have him accept this so readily, but that is SHIT. He asked no questions, made no inquiry as to how he ended up in the hands of the "normal people," made no remarks. He simply accepted, contrary to the logical mind that has been presented to us within his character, through his watchmaking skills, his lack of sentimentality or emotion during his kills, and his very ability, reffered to as "Intuitive Aptitude."

    Also, what of his father? His father was the very reason he went into watchmaking, and, you could say, the reason he became the man he is. Without being able to understand the watch, he never would've understood his power, as he explained to Peter when transferring it to him. How, then, can the show's writers simply "write off" this important, albeit unshown, influence in Sylar's life?

    Not only that, but I mean, fuck. And I mean, fuck. Wasn't the reason Sylar became the way he is because he felt his family, and by extension, he himself, was not special, and this gift, this power, was the one way to latch onto the extraordinary?

    Fuck if there's a way to ruin that motivation, by granting him a place in the Petrelli family.

    Someone needs to hire them a few seasoned writers.

I havent seen that. Maybe they have a plan for him for something else. A few days ago he was going to get shot. Maybe theyre going to let him be a good guy and then get rid of him.

Yeah, I saw it earlier today. NBC's useful...

But yeah, he's been quite bad ass as of late, but they need to return to the tragic villain he was in first season.

Oh fuck he's gonna take down Mr. Hatey Mc I Hate Everyone Face

I know, so win.

Personally, I would rather like to see Milo Ventimiglia and Zachary Quinto just go off to make their own movie, 'cause they're the only good actors on Heroes. >.>
