"I keep waiting for Sylar to get bored and kill him or for him to finally figure out that this is Sylar and stupidly confront the guy."
As to stupid confrontations, am I the only one who keeps hearing "My name is Mohinder Suresh. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" in their head?
What I don't get is why nobody else catches on to Sylar. He's way overplayed; he's so creepy it's just not credible that anyone would trust him. Maybe Mohinder is that dumb when it comes to people, but...well, this sounds strange to me, but it's like he's written that way but not played that way. Does that make any sense? I mean, genius-w/no-people-skills can be done right--Rodney McKay is a perfect example (is that who you had in mind when you mentioned quantum physics, s'kat?)--but here it's just not.
When it comes to the science, aycheb's right, but Mohinder can't be blamed too much for the stupidity of the science. The science is just written stupidly. I'd much rather they didn't make any pretense to being scientific. Even more straightforward things like medicine they can't get right. Like poor doomed Charlie: "There's a blood clot in my brain, & it's inches away from an aneurysm." If there's a blood clot in your brain? You're already having a stroke. And it doesn't matter if it's close to an aneurysm; either one could kill you, & having both is meaningless. They should've just given her cancer. And when it comes to any science behind the superpowers...they might as well just say it's magic, or some classic comic-book origin like gamma rays. Sorry for the rant, but this kind of thing just gets on my nerves. I try to ignore it & just let the stories be fun.
