It was unfortunate that Maya was in such a sucky situation for the entire season. But she knew what she wanted, and was really quite enthusiastic about the journey to New York and the prospect of dinging Chandra Suresh... she made her own decisions, such as using her power to break Alejandro out of jail. She HAD a mind on her own. I honestly saw her as the one making the decisions, not Alejandro. There were several instances when they disagreed, and in the end they went with Maya's idea.
Yeah, she depended on him, too, mostly emotionally, but is that such a bad thing on a show that focuses so much attention on families? Peter and Nathan depend on each other a damn lot, too, so what?

Sylar manipulated her, yeah, even sexually, and it sickens me to the bone that the fandom as a whole perceives this as Maya's fault. Blaming the victim, way to go.
How Sylar controlled her, that was bad, and damaging, well, duh. It wasn't exactly shown as a healthy relationship. Sylar is a manipulative bastard, but around someone normal or nice, Maya is not the weak-willed little useless thing that people make her out to be. Or pretend her to be so she can be more easily dismissed and doesn't disturb their precious slash.

Dinging = finding. I really hate my typing skillz.

Well, shit. I really have to go back and re-watch Volume Two. You're right, she did make a lot of decisions on her own. I thought at the time that Alejandro was relenting to keep her from letting loose on another city--but he wasn't rolling over, they disagreed a lot when Sylar joined them. Reading this kinda makes me question what biases I was watching their scenes through. But to be fair I was all grumpy and unforgiving about a lot of the storylines... I suspect if I went back and re-watched the second season without all the built-up bitterness I'd like all of it a lot more.
