I really hope it is a sign they're killing off Sylar and soon. Samuel I'm not interested in or impressed with. His plans are nonsensical and unclear, I don't get any sense of motivation from him let alone any menance. Arthur was quite scary, Adam had a straightforward - and horrific - plan, and Maury was both scary and had a weight of interesting emotional baggage. Samuel has none of that, at least so far as I can see. PAH :P
