If Sylar ate Mohinder's brain, do you think he'd become an idiot?‏

Because I am bored at work and I'm still annoyed about last night's Heroes, I though I'd share my annoyance with you. (By the way, if these emails that I have been sending are unwelcome, please let me know - I don't want to annoy.) So, I just really wish that Heroes was as cool and smart as it thinks it is. I get that it's a comic book masquerading as a TV show, I get that. But not all comic books are full of clichés and bad dialogue. A lot of them are, sure, but it's easier to get away with that in comic form than it is on a TV show. And taking poor acting out of the equation - how frickin stupid is Mohinder? If I didn't hate him already…good lord. How many brain eaten bodies do you think it will take before he realizes he is with Sylar? He's supposed to be a brilliant scientist! Speaking of poor acting though, with pointless Simone (possibly) no longer among the living - a twist that was obvious miles away - that's one bad actor down, only a few more to go. However, I didn't think that the gun Isaac was using was intended to kill, so I'm guessing Stupid Simone will stick around to swoon sadly some more. (And how stupidly melodramatic was the close-up on that key?) However, there were some things that I liked: - The end of the Hiro-Ando saga. While I like Ando, I wasn't enjoying the Hiro stuff the past few weeks and he used to be my favorite. He needs to find his mojo on his own.- While I cannot stand Peter as a character and Milo Ventimiglia fluctuates from ok to terrible as an actor, Peter definitely has the best superpower and I'm glad he's finally beginning to be able to control it. It is interesting how similar Sylar and Peter are though. (At least in their abilities; to me it's like good Rogue vs. bad Rogue.)- It's always fun to see Stan Lee show up, but how much is too much? I've grown a little tired of him. (Though I think he might be a robot or a hologram.)- I was very impressed by Hayden Pannetierre this week (as I usually am). She comes across as very real and not just a flat comic book character. Back to nitpicking: - Was it just me or was that comment by Sylar to Mohinder about Karma and Indian people bordering on an offensive stereotype?- They really have to choose a name for Claire's father. It is so awkward and irritating that they go out of their way to avoid using his first name. (Did you see last week or the week before when they showed his driver's license and it just said "Bennet"?) It was cute at first that no one knew his name, but now they're playing games with it and it's stupid. Unless his first name is Linderman, there is no reason for it.
