Hmm.
I have some reservations, a couple of which were actually wrong on my part (as in prev. post).
I think that, so far, it's better than season 2 at this point.
It's got a much faster pace than season 2 - hits the ground running, or whatever you want to call it - rather than being extremely long & drawn out for several weeks with sod all really happening.

Sylar's power isn't actually simply the ability to take someone else's power though - his actual power is "intuitive aptitude", the ability to know how things work & see how things fit together.
That's what made him such a good watch repairer, & it's why he used the watch as a demo for Peter - Peter used the power he acquired from Sylar to see how the watch worked & how to fix it.
Sylar, obviously, uses his power to take other people's powers. He studies their brains & somehow sees how their power works so he can duplicate it himself.
Future Peter, on the other hand, wanted Present Peter to use Sylar's power so he can see how the timeline works, see what changes have happened & what needs to be done to fix everything.
