And why exactly did Peter take Sylar's ability if he absorbs the powers automagically anyway? He never seemed like a murderer type and he's been warned about the price. Knowing how exactly the ability works from the start sure is an advantage, but still. Killing people now?
It wasn't so much the ability to take powers, as the ability to see how they worked. To put the pieces together. That's why he went, because future Mohinder told him that with Sylar's power he'd be able to put all the pieces together. Peter didn't pay attention to Sylar's warning about how the power affects the mind, making it go all Gorgulu and wanting more and more. He clearly dismissed the danger in the face of what he thought was a greater danger... and of course, that was a dumb move cause Peter is really dumb and has been from the beginning.

To build on what Noodles said,
Sylar's ability extends beyond just understanding how -powers- work, but other things too. Case in point, watches. He can look at a watch and see how everything is integrated and what makes it "tick", so to speak. One could then make the logical assumption that said ability of insight extends to seeing how events are connected and being able to make logical conclusions from what you know.
Oh, and I was royally weirded out by
SYLAR BEING A DADDY!?

I bet waffles are somehow the key to everything.
Just got done watching season 1. Is it bad that I'm browsing this for spoilers?

The show says monsters a lot, because that's the title of the episode.
They often say the title of the episode often.
This season is called "heroes/villains" so yes, everyone is going to be both a hero and a villain.
I hope that Ando is really dead. (lots of people on forums are saying that Hiro stopped time, and grabbed some ketchup packets, and hid them in his shirt. But other people are saying he couldn't stop time, cause then daphnie would see him do it) I'm just pissed that they lost Adam.

I thought that was pretty funny actually. But then I never actually expected them to be able to keep hold of him. You don't live for hundreds of years without eventually learning out to outwit a couple of goofs like Hiro and Ando.

Yeah, seriously. They've been in this mess from the very beginning, now it's the 3rd season already and they're still trolling around, clueless.
Also...
How come they open the coffin and Adam simply opens his eyes like he was just pretending to take a nap? He spent centuries in a coffin with no room, no air. I mean sure, he's semi-immortal like Claire so he's alive but, for one, wouldn't he go crazy in there, and two, Claire seemed to be affected by the lack of air just one (or was it two) episodes ago.

Well, I think he's mostly crazy anyway. And Claire's still relatively new to the whole nearly indestructible immortal thing. I think she freaked out more than anything. Obviously, he wasn't freaked out. Kind of looked like he was meditating or something. He did spend a few centuries in the orient and all.
That's my guess anyway.
