Oh, com'on. Sylar is awesome. And surprisingly empathetic at times. And there's a lot more to him than head-cutting (really). Quinto looks like he has a ball playing that role. Sylar has a sick sense of humor, which is a delight (I enjoy dark humor). He also gets some of the best dialog on the show. "It's all behind me now. Like a long night after a bad taco." "Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting." LOL.
This video does a good job showing two different acting modes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfTDs44-n5c
Plus, the fact that Quinto has managed to pull off both a role like Sylar and a role like Spock and play them completely differently and to aplomb really does say something about him as an actor. He's really good at character voices and accents, too.
Granted, my history of crushes in the sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural genres have included several repressed, but sensitive individuals with dual natures and a general tall, dark and handsome hunkiness factor (Angel fangirl, here--been one for years). Angel, Wesley and Spike are pure awesomeness. Max and Michael off of Roswell are favorite genre hunks of mine. Spock's right up my alley, really. Vampires are overall my favorite fantasy creature. Vampire/human, ghost/human or alien/human romance is a big theme in my genre viewing. Sylar fits my love of the magnificent bastard (Angelus is another magnificent bastard--always a fun archetype). Han Solo and Indiana Jones are other genre crushes of mine (granted, there's a Harrison-factor there).
I also happen to have Asperger's Syndrome, which means repressed, social skills-deficient and brainy is part of the package. I totally relate to Spock on that level.
I'm rarely into "normal". I like "different" because I naturally perceive myself as "different". Pine's Kirk is a bit too normal/bland for my tastes. I'd definitely pick a Spock over a Kirk any day. Though, in the original show, I actually find McCoy the most attractive, but prefer Spock's character (let's face it, the guy is different and interesting).

But my vote would be reversed if we were talking original Kirk and Spock here. Pine as Kirk, though...gets my vote.
Maybe not the handsomest in everyone's opinion, but sex-y? Oh yes.
I just understood "pinto".
