Sylar revealed - and more "Heroes" developments

One thing I like about NBC’s “Heroes” is that it doesn’t play all its secrets close to the vest: It really does provide answers.

Last night’s episode, for example, filled us in on the origin and motives of the villainous Sylar, dropped a key revelation concerning Niki Sanders' past and powers and showed how Nathan Petrelli’s wife ended up in a wheelchair. Next week we’re told to expect a death and a betrayal before new episodes take a break until January. Say it's not so.
