Okay, I'm just going to go out and say it:  I'm going to have a really hard time rooting against the newly de-shadowed villain Sylar on Heroes because, well, he's way hot.  Sure, he cuts open the heads of the innocent and, presumably, devours their brains in some fashion to absorb their superpowers.  But I've been on dates with people with bigger personality flaws.  I'm serious.

You might remember Quinto as Tori Spelling's gay pal on the VH1 comedy So NoTORIous. Yes, I did watch it.  And yes, I fucking loved it!  

With Sylar, though, he's wearing less trendy duds, sporting some cool thick frames and becoming the biggest V.I.L.F. in recent memory.  And, for the record, if anyone were to cut open my head and eat my brain, I'd want the culprit to be as pretty as Quinto.

In other Heroes-related news, an actor from two of my favorite movies is going to begin a recurring role on the show.  Christopher Eccleston, who was in 28 Days Later and my all-time favorite Shallow Grave, will play an as-yet-unspecified character.

And in even further Heroes-related news, if you haven't been watching the show, then fire up your TiFaux because the Sci-Fi Channel is doing a marathon at 6 p.m. EST tonight.  They'll be airing the first six episodes.

Last night completed Veronica's first mini-cycle mystery, unveiling the HEARST RAPIST. I'll try not to actually name the rapist in this post, although it's much less important to be surprised in this case than it has in previous mystery conclusions.

I mean, remember Aaron Echolls? Anyone? Now that was a dramatic finale. When he appeared in Veronica's rear-view mirror, all creepy-looking, I will admit it: I screamed. Out loud. Alone, in my apartment. I had no idea it was going to be him — but it made so much sense.

But Aaron's dead, y'all. So it couldn't be him. 

I liked the episode, and I think this mini-mystery concept might be good. If there are more excuses to do big, full-cast extravaganzas, I think everyone wins. 

And I think we can all agree that Logan Echolls has the worst taste in friends/worst luck in relatives. Aaron? Trina? Dick and Beaver? His fake half-brother? This Mercer kid? 

But at least he's not afraid to punch some dudes. Though it's obviously not the best way to go about things, especially with his record, getting himself thrown in jail so he can kick the shit of some rapists: Awesome. 

And it's not too soon to start thinking ahead! So let's start the speculation here…
