But the fact that they’re chasing down people like him is just silly, I get it, they’re going too far, but for crying out loud…he’s not even as useful as Aquaman!

I’m guessing that nothing else has changed, other than the fact that Sylar now knows that Claire is invincible (as long as you don’t separate the brain from the body) and before he was still a newbie brain stealer.

Alternately, Claire’s power might have ripened, the way Matt’s mental powers seem to have been.

Alternately, he’s gotten soft and doesn’t want to kill anyone unless it’s necessary to feed his hunger. It would tie up nicely with him letting Peter and the Haitian live, even though the bullet that killed Arthur could easily have fatally wounded both Peter and the Haitian after hitting Arthur (i.e. via Sylar’s telepathy).

Or all the above.

The only thing I don’t get is how did Sylar kill Claire in the original future (twice), yet he thinks he couldn’t kill her now even if he wanted to.

i think heroes would be so much better if non of the heroes went to the future, becuz.. halo? future changes everytime you see it, one hair movement can change like everything. so yeah, heroes would have been somuch better WITHOUT future shit.

Why did they KILL Daphne?
