I did like Sylar's comment to Claire when she asked if he was going to eat her brain, though.
The pretentious literary reference really upset me because I am a huge Yeats fangirl and I hate seeing that poem used for a cheap effect.
I want to like the African Painter, but they need to be careful about not falling into the "exotic people are more naturally spiritual than the majority" trap--and we may have cracked wise about him being a Magical Negro, too.
And! The bit after Mohinder and Maya got it on where bits of skin were coming off his back? I was all THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR SLEEPING WITH HER. (I don't like her character, although she was definitely less annoying this time around so far.)
