What a frakkin' mixed bag this show has become.
The Good:
The stuff in the hospital room - yeah, that's pretty much the juicy confrontation I expected to happen eventually, and handled reasonably well and with minimal confusion, stupidity and sketchy logic.
I don't care what you Mo-haters say, I've missed the gorgeous goofball.
He's a pretty good character to have in the mix when in full Mad Scientist mode. He just needs to stay that way and never, ever have superpowers (btw, did he somehow lose them?)
The Bad:
Why are Claire, Hiro and Tracey on this show? Snoooore.
Nice going, Rene. Tell Peter bwahaha, here's a clue to something that will blow your tiny little mind. Give me a break, either he needs to just tell Peter the truth (which of course would be clunky drama) or shut the hell up entirely. What's with the BS mindgames? He didn't predict that Peter would go running right to Nathan?
Matt isn't really just going to go back to LA without trying to do something about the very likely fact that Sylar now has mind-control powers. Is he planning to hide under a rock for the rest of his life?
Don't tell me they missed out on the chance to have Mohinder reunite with Matt while Matt still has Sylar in his noggin. Another missed opportunity in a show that's had entirely way too many!!!!
The Ugly:
Peter's reaction to discovering that his beloved brother may have been murdered: that's okay, you look just like him, and that's good enough for me! And I'll ignore the fact that you happen to be my brother's murderer, because either I'm co-dependent to a truly depraved degree, or stupider than anyone's ever imagined!!!
Nope, not buying it. Peter's reaction should be a dig-in-his-heels denial of any possibility that Nathan is dead. The corpse in the public storage place is a trick. Sylar is dead, Nathan is alive, end of discussion. Peter should be on edge and slightly hysterical, because of course he knows it's not the end of the discussion. The one thing he should not be, is calmly entertaining the thought of accepting Sylar as his brother!!!
And speaking of the public storage place - that's where Angela chose to store the body of her first-born son!?! Jeezus, lady! A public storage place???
Presumably he got just flight - and who knows what the "rules" are for picking up powers from Sylar? - but it would be a cinch for him to tell whether Nathan is really Sylar - just touch him and try to get the seeing power. (And then switch quickly to something else before it makes him squirrely.) It's very unlikely that Nathan would just naturally evolve that particular power in addition to the TK, picking up memories by touch, etc.

Ah-HAH! That certainly would make Peter's bizarre reaction suddenly reasonable. It's hard to tell whether it's a clue or just more terrible characterization.

Screw Nathan and the "you look and sound like my brother so it doesn't matter" bit (and I thought the Sim story on ENT was messed up that they could accept him). If Sam or Dean were replaced (which they'd never do) it would matter to the other one. Big time.
