Sylar has always been a lame character on Heroes, but he almost had a chance to get interesting last night when his special friend the illusionist offered to let him have sex with her in any body he chose. Pretty nice offer, actually, especially when Sylar is being such a whiny bitch about losing his powers. Still, the sex fantasies she offers him are pretty cringe-worthy, especially when she turns into a Geisha and asks if he wants "something exotic." Hm, maybe she should have pretended to be the "exotic" Hiro instead? Anyway, the best bit is when she actually offers him a chance to have sex with himself while dressed in some kind of pseudo-Trent Reznor getup. Too bad Sylar ate her brain before doing the double nasty.

We're learning more of the deep backstory on
Heroes — there were superpowered mutants back in Feudal Japan, for example, and Mama Petrelli was naughty enough in her youth to piss off a Big Bad-style supermutant who now wants revenge. But let's face it. The big standouts from last night's episode were two grossout scenes involving heroic body parts. Claire gets it into her head that she's a lizard and can regrow her limbs. So she cuts off her little toe with a pair of scissors, only to discover that YES she can regrow it (though she can't regrow nail polish — dang). Meanwhile Peter is trapped in an alternate reality full of Irish people and must go around half-naked and wet. Nobody wants to see that, and thankfully he uses his super-powers to find a flannel shirt.
