"While he might have refrained from popping her top because he already has her power, it doesn't make sense that he'd kill her that way and not, say, slice her throat, like he was about to do to HRG."
Maybe Sylar wanted to slice HRG's throat because HRG slashed his throat--eye for an eye.
"Sylar/Gabriel/the viewers all think Elle's dead, only to have her show up later with a baby. I hate this trope. I feel that it reduces the ladyfolk to beasts of breeding that only serve the development of plot and other characters - never their own."--Agreed. This would suck and be so completely demeaning.
