Ah, NBC.com, bless you for airing your shows for free online.

A quick thing:

Thompson, the boss of Glasses-Guy (who is the adoptive father of Claire), is played by Eric Roberts, who is the pimp fellow in the video "Mr Brightside" (YouTube) by The Killers.

THERE.

Onwards.

- I grinned like a fiend when it turned out that Peter wasn't dead.

- Wait... how does Sylar have the Weirding voice?  Didn't Eden (?) kill herself before he could acquire it?

- OH GODDAMN this is why I hate watching shows in real-time.

I think I meant more "turned out to not be dead", which may also include "came back from the dead".

My understanding was that Eden went to force Sylar to kill himself, but he crashed through the window to get to her.  She tried to shoot him, but hooray for telekinesis, so she shot herself instead, hence the shot and the blood (the actual killing was off-screen).  Here's the TV.com recap (http://www.tv.com/heroes/fallout/episode/908610/recap.html), though I can't just yet find any official word on what happened.  (As in, it seems to be one of those obvious things, but since the shooting happened off-screen, it's hard to be 100% certain without writerly backup.)

Ah, OK. It seemed to me that he forced her to kill herself (forced telekinesis). In which case we can assume that he also forced her to do it in a way that allowed him to acquire her power, however it is that he does it.

But then, there are so many plot holes with regard to Sylar that I've suspended my disbelief there a long time ago. :)
