'Heroes' I Am Sylar recap

Heroes: Will the real Sylar please stand up!

Is it me or are Sylar themed episodes the best ones? Major props to Zachary Quinto aka Sylar for his acting skills, because they are just superb. In tonight's Sylar style episode of Heroes, we dive deep into the brain of our favorite villain and learn that yes the man is estranged to say the very least. We go back 18 hours before Sylar's address to the nation as Nathan just to see what Sylar has been up too.

Sylar is encountering some major problems from his shape-shifting power as his D.N.A. Always doesn't come back to normal and after changing into the agent he apparently has grown another tooth. Danko and Sylar seem to start getting on each other's nerves because Danko doesn't see Sylar as anything more then a toy for his own personal gain. Sylar goes on his quest to find people with powers before Danko does and encounters a man name Tom who has quite a unique power. He holds his hand and fingers in an apparent snapping position and once he snaps things just disintegrate. Pretty cool. So of course Sylar warns him that agents are on the way and offers him an ultimatum to join him or be caught.

Tom of course falls for Sylar's proposal and cue the saw your head off trick and Sylar takes his ability. Danko arrives on the scene to see 'I Am Sylar' written on the walls in blood and love the line that Sylar gives, 'The guy has quite an ego.' Danko and Sylar discover that Tom received a text message from 'Rebel' and then they turn their sights on him. Danko and his team learn the wear abouts of Rebel and set off to find him. I loved the first ever encounter between Micah and Sylar and just how interesting it was to see this young kid have such a profound impact on Sylar. He reminds him that he is one of then, a guy with abilities and that he isn't alone, something Sylar needs to hear because he doesn't have anyone.

Sylar allows Micah to escape by shape-shifting into Micah and drawing Danko and his men toward him where they open fire on him and then they assume they dispose of him. Another major thing I'd like to touch on tonight was the back and forth Sylar and his 'mom' had tonight. Sylar is really hurting because he has no one to share his life with and is all alone.

His mother forgives him for killing her, because she thinks it was an accident and Sylar says it was no accident and that he wanted to kill her because she looked at him like a monster. The struggle that Sylar goes through is quite sad in a way because deep down he can be good but he just doesn't realize it, but I think Micah might of shown some light on the situation but that is yet to be seen.

Switching gears for a minute, Hiro and Ando along with Matt Parkman are all struggling to discover what it is they should be doing next. Hiro of course wants to be the hero while Ando has grown very tired of being the sidekick to Hiro. Hiro and Ando set out to go to Building 26 while Matt decides to take his baby back home because he wants to be there as his child grows up.

Hiro again tricks Ando into being bait so that the agents will lead the two of them to their hide out. Hiro at the conclusion of tonight's episode seems to have something gone horribly wrong as when he tries to freeze time he gets a major brain pain we'll call it along with a nose bleed, so things for Hiro have just gotten very bad.

Back to present time Nathan flies back to his office where of course Nathan 2 is waiting for him. Sylar explains to Nathan that he has been a bad boy and knows he has turned on his own kind before. Just as about Sylar is to dispose of Nathan Danko takes him out with a stun gun and also throws a knife into the back of Sylar's head only to find out he has missed and Sylar wakes up and says 'That hurt.” End episode.

Other thoughts from tonight:

Matt has decided to go help Hiro and Ando which I think is the smart thing to do and it will be interesting to see how the end all plays out.

Someone is going to die next week and I just want to know who, because I can't wait.
There seems to be a big brawl scheduled next week involving Sylar and many of our heroes so that should be interesting.

Also, was Claire and Noah getting captured at the end of tonight's episode? Couldn't really tell, and watch out because the camera focused on Angela sleeping so you know she is dreaming!

With next week's episode being the season finale, there are still some deaths to occur. Who I don't know but I do have theories, one of them being Nathan or Hiro dying. The last few episodes of 'Heroes' have become just what fans deserve. I think this show is back on track and am dying to see next week's season finale. So stay tuned fellow Heroes fans, as the show is going to end with a bang.
