We're all used to seeing Sylar as the bad guy right? I mean, Zachary Quinto seems to portray the evillest sexiest bad guy that I've ever seen on television. And he did play another evil warlock on Charmed ages ago (which is hilarious because he was so totally pwned by a group of cats that swarmed over him). As it turns out though, that's not all that's on Sylar's repertoire. I found out he's played good guys too! This shouldn't have been a surprise considering that Zachary is an actor, i.e. he is supposed to be able to act "good" as well. But I'm so used to Sylar the evil guy that it's amazing when Zachary plays nice!

Take for example, an episode in Crossing Jordan, wherein he plays this guy who finds out his parents weren't his biological ones. He was innocent in that one.

How about that episode of Touched By An Angel where he plays a loving son who's trying to find his missing dad. Cue the "Awwws!" Did I mention that he actually trimmed his eyebrows in this episode?

But the best "good" character he's played has to be that of "God" itself, in Joan Of Arcadia where he was one of the so-called "personas" through which God spoke to Joan. Kinda weird.

Something that's probably totally unexpected is Sylar as a gay director, in Lizzie Maguire. He's so funny! And he gets scolded by LIzzie's younger brother, too.


Good guy Sylar won't be too uncommon though, because Zachary's the new Mr. Spock on the new Star Trek movie! Sure he'll look alien-ugly, but he's still Sylar... right?

I did do something today, other than watch/ read up on Sylar. My cousins returned to Melbourne today... in the middle of a heatwave. God bless them. We sent them off at the airport, and decided to get some chow at 10.45 at Popeye's (yum!) before taking #858 back to Woodlands. And now I'm here at 4 am after watching tennis and American Idol and shizz.

Good night ya'll.
And good luck to Borge and Keed who are already in army! Haha.
