Identity

So, never been an iStorier myself, but this sounds like an interesting concept. Any theories on L, W, and R? I'd go with Rachel, if I knew whether or not she was involved. :) W is tricky because there isn't that many W's that we know of, are there? -- Tristan0709 talk 02:34, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

• I don't think they necessarily need to be three people we've met yet. And judging from the story, I don't think R is Rachel... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:10, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
• As I already mentioned here, I would go with Ricardo rather than Rachel. If they are all first names of people we've already met, there is one W that sticks out, IMHO, but I guess it could be someone new.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Another thing: are we recycling plot-lines already? Not this specifically, but there are similarities between evsdropr and Libertad. -- Tristan0709 talk 03:13, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
    • An unidentified mystery person or group is very common in literature and other media. I'd say it's a reimagined storytelling device, not a recycled plot. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:16, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
      • I agree with Ryan. If you read into it some more, some of the similarities are explained in that Libertad knows about Evs Dropper. Thus, restarting things like the trojan intercept and the Primatech map makes sense (at least, imho).--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:23, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
        • Fair enough. I have a similar complaint with that they seem to not want to get rid of Tim Sale on the show. But hey, his paintings are incredible, so I don't really mind. -- Tristan0709 talk 03:31, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
          • I agree with you about Tim Sale. Fantastic art--the best! It's a style that really is unique and gives a very cool flavor to Heroes. But I worry that the prophetic paintings are a storytelling device that might be overused--they even become a crutch at points. When Matt became the newest prophet, I had mixed feelings. I was very excited by the prospect of seeing more Tim art (by the way, he never does the paintings--he does the art in black and white (he's colorblind), and then Dave Stewart expertly colors them, and then they're blown up onto canvases). I was psyched that there would be new Timmy art--and it delivered! But I cringed at the thought of more prophetic storytelling. It sometimes feels lazy, and sometimes there are loose ends with the art not being mentioned again. Worse, sometimes there's a big buildup and subsequent letdown of anticipation. This season is no exception on both accounts with the prophetic drawings--great art, muddy storytelling technique. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 04:33, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
