Sylar is really Kergan from Highlander and he gets his 'quickening' from brains instead of chopping whole heads off

Same deal with the experience perhaps.
The cheerleader adoption at least was explained, they killed the mum (accidentally, of course) and stole the kid as a puppy, sweeeeeeeeet.
That mac n cheese woman has the power to tell you to squat and how high etc., like the girl from The 4400 who was running around with the 'father of the 4400' same dynamic here, shocker. Hi, here's a waitress hero, oops, she's dead. I guess most story lines have already been done elsewhere so originality gets harder...
At least in this show we are wondering whether Hiro has got his stuff together to tell her not to come to work. Of course, then Sylar will just dedome her at her house, since he had obviously sought her out. Hiro will have to be careful how he handles it.
Another incredible coincidence that Hiro and Nikiluvboy were in the same restaurant (in Texas) as the other hero at any time, never mind actually at the time when Sylar whacked her.
Maybe that's another Highlander
ripoff homage?
They get the pull for the quickening or the 'prize' so they keep getting drawn together.
It seems that Bennet and his boys are able to activate the genes that make them special, and they have a perversion for tats.
Still watching, for now.
