That was the most fun I've had watching this show in a long time, largely because Milo and Zach can each generate sexual tension with scrap paper on their own, but they spent pretty much the entire episode alone together in their own little world.
What is it with Petrellis and inappropriate sexual tension anyway? Seriously, Peter is trapped alone in Mauryspace with the guy who killed his brother, a guy who happens to be a stone cold sociopath who's tried to kill Peter before too (and succeeded once), and what happens? First of all, Sylar gropes Peter while trying to determine if Peter is real. Then Sylar worries about Peter being lonely and brings him comic books and tries to get him to eat. Then Peter lays in to Sylar for passing off one of Nathan's memories as his own, and the whole time the two of them are talking (okay, Peter is yelling), they're standing about an inch apart and Sylar is inhaling in Peter's personal space like Peter just took a bath in AXE body spray. And then Sylar helps Peter work out his grief over Nathan after Peter gives him a birthday present. They even had matching emo bangs by the time they broke free of Mauryspace. You know, I've never slashed Peter/Sylar before (see above references to sociopaths and attempted murder), but good God, people, I'm not made of stone.
Who knew that the cure for being evil was to be trapped alone with Peter for a couple of years? Peter must be contagious. I bet if we locked Samuel in a cave with Peter long enough, he'd come out using his power to mine for precious metals and donate them to charity.
I love that Peter is still so optimistic and unable to hold a grudge that even Sylar's level of crazy crumbles helplessly before him, so why do I think that Violent!Peter is so ridiculously hot? Yes, my ultimate fantasy is 5YG!Peter with the long black coat and a nail gun. But I'll take my sledgehammers where I can get them.
Hey, Samuel? People who live in fun house mirror houses shouldn't throw stones. Why don't you sit in the chair and let Damian show us what your memories look like? Oh, that's right, because you're a lying liar who lies, that's why.
I'm so glad someone finally called Samuel on his big bag of BS. Who'd've guessed it would be Claire? For awhile there she was so upset that her father had worked for The Company and killed Specials that I thought maybe she hadn't been watching the show all along.
And in conclusion, please please please don't let the Peter & Sylar vs. lots of Eli fight happen off camera next week. I'm begging here.
