Talk:Hana Gitelman

Name

There are discrepancy in the Name of Hana GitTelman there's an extra T in the Part two of the Wireless Graphic Novel. We won't Find out for sure till the Show starts. ~ Red Jan 4, 2007 4:49PM (EST)

• Considering they also misspelled 'Mossad' in that blurb, my money's on "Gitelman", but we'll know soon enough.--Hardvice (talk) 16:31, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • Gotta love NBC - they're flawless! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:22, 3 January 2007 (EST)
    • I suspect this is Aspen. Back in my comic selling days, I used to just cringe at some of the typos they'd come out with.--Hardvice (talk) 17:45, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Power

She does a one-armed pull up in the comic. Is it too big of a stretch to claim she has super strength? I guess she could be levitating slightly.

• I'd say definitely a stretch. :) Many very fit people can do one-armed pull-ups. We just need to wait a little bit before worrying about her power, I'm sure it'll become clear either in subsequent graphic novels (since we see her in part 1 of 4) or when she's introduced on the show itself.

• By the look of the comic she has been doing a lot of training over a long period of time. If she were super strong then I think she'd be beyond that - she just seems super dedicated to me. --Joshtek 15:12, 29 December 2006 (EST)
  • Isn't this fun, to watch how NBC teases us so! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:20, 29 December 2006 (EST)

Name that Power

• Well, now we know what she can do. What the heck do you call it? She can perceive electronic communications, but she can also send them, so somehting like "Communication (or transmission) perception" doesn't tell the whole story. "Electronic communication" covers both sending and receiving but isn't very clear. Any ideas?--Hardvice (talk) 04:41, 2 January 2007 (EST)
• "Technovoyance"? Nope. This one is hard to name. "Electronic Data Perception" perhaps? --Ted C 12:08, 2 January 2007 (EST)
  • I kind of like "Technovoyance", though it's not really technological clairvoyance. EDP works, but also makes no mention of the "send" side of the equation.--Hardvice (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2007 (EST)
    • With "technovoyance", I was shooting for "view into the technological", but I didn't really feel that I hit it very well. EDP is the same idea in plainer language. --Ted C 12:26, 2 January 2007 (EST)
      • Something like "Human transceiver" gets across the send/receive distinction, but isn't very specific about what is received & transmitted. Maybe "Data transception"? That has the added advantage of pissing off the language purists since "transception" is comm industry jargon and is (*gasp*) not in the OED.--Hardvice (talk) 12:38, 2 January 2007 (EST)
        • Haha. I was thinking "transception" as well. Part of the problem to me is that I don't feel they've made it clear whether she only picks up wireless signals or whether she can sense wired signals as well. I'd suspect both, but the name of the novel is "Wireless" so I'm not sure. For now I personally like "Electronic data transception". (Admin 12:46, 2 January 2007 (EST))
          • Yeah, I was wondering that as well. But then I got to wondering how many signals are really purely wired. Almost everything except an all-wire LAN probably goes over a satellite somewhere. The one I'm wondering about is voice communications. It makes sense that if she can "perceive" emails, she should be able to hear voice signals, right? In either case, she still has to decode it. In any case, I agree: "Electronic data transception" covers all the bases we know without making too many claims about things we don't know.--Hardvice (talk) 12:50, 2 January 2007 (EST)
            • New page created. --Ted C 13:52, 2 January 2007 (EST)
          • If she's somehow picking up wireless transmissions then wouldn't it be more digital than electronic? Another question is how she knew it was Thompson. Unless he signed his message, it would only give his phone number and the name would be added by the phone on the receiving end, right? --Joshtek 16:50, 2 January 2007 (EST)
            • I believe "electronic" is more vague which is what we need to be right now since we don't know the exact nature of her powers. Digital would imply she can't receive analog transmissions for instance. As for knowing it was Thompson, it could be that their phones send name information as well... or if not maybe her powers let her know the contact info on the phone. Or maybe she intercepted the electronic transmission of the text from the phone to its display. Much too little info right now to know for certain. :) (Admin 17:02, 2 January 2007 (EST))
              • I'm not the biggest fan of "Electronic data transception", but that's okay. I have a feeling we'll have a lot more info with next week's issue. Might need to make a change then. We'll see! :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:02, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Actress Portrayal

Does anybody think that Jessalyn Gilsig looks like Hana? (heh heh) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:24, 4 January 2007 (EST)

• I doubt she'll be playing Hana, based on the other spoilers.--Hardvice (talk) 21:18, 4 January 2007 (EST)
