Still the Geekiest Show On Televison

Sylar is Spock

It's been confirmed in several locations now -- and I'm thrilled that retroactively Heroes can become even more the geekiest show ever, by not only having Sulu, a Doctor Who, a Master, and Malcolm McDowell but now a future (or is that a past) Spock in Zachary Quinto.

I'm very content with this casting -- Zachary Quinto proved to be a fantastic actor in Heroes, showing quite a wide range so he should be more than capable to play Spock. I'm a little concerned that including Leonard Nimoy as well in the film will make this a bit too backward looking -- making some of the same mistakes as the last Superman film made -- but we'll see.
