Trivia question

So I figured I may as well put up the checklist, although it's pretty early. Anyways, I had a question on the trivia for this episode; (and I may be wrong, so correct me if I am) but should we mention the fact that this is the first episode that directly and blatanly refers to a character (Sylar).--Anthony Gooch 20:05, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

• Not sure if it is. I do know this is the first episode where Sylar and Nathan share a scene with each other for the first time. Aka interacting with one another. Also it seems that Ando is the first character to have a super hero name if you don't count Micah/Rebel. --OutbackZack 22:08, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

well actually there is an episode called hiros that could count as hiro`s name in the episode title

• Ah, good point! Scratch this.--Anthony Gooch 22:25, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
  • How about this being the first time Sylar can shapeshift clothes... wtf was up with that? --Action Figure 22:39, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
    • Maybe it involves both DNA and matter. --BoomerDay 22:43, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
      • maybe he's just getting better at using the ability... --Peter
    • So absorbing DNA allows him to shapeshift his clothing.... no, it was a matter of convenience for the episode. The writers even said in a recent BTE that Sylar CANNOT ss clothing and they made sure of that limitation at the writer's table... --Action Figure 22:54, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
      • Exactly. They took creative liberties here. Though it would have been crazier if he COULDN'T shift clothes, and that he kept changing between his mother's clothes and his own... that would make it even more Norman Bates-ish. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:56, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
      • They have told half truths (or changed their minds) in BTE's before. Besides, it makes it easy. Indeed, it would be troublesome for Sylar to have to change clothes EVERY SINGLE TIME he shifted. Especially to Micah or his mom. --Crazyaspie 23:00, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
    • Which is exactly what I told my friend they were going for, and I would have liked to see. Sylar traipsing around in his mom's sweater... :) --Action Figure 22:57, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Sylar + Super Speed?

How is sylar moving so fast? Super speed? --Peter

• Doubt it --BoomerDay 21:32, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
  • We're speculating that somewhere (off camera) he picked up some sort of teleportation...majorly b/c of the scene where he escapes Danko's car so quickly and was suddenly on the rooftop--Anthony Gooch 22:04, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
    • in this episode as well, however, he went from a ground floor to wherever Micah was in moments. Personally, I think something is up... --Peter
      • A question to be solved in much later episode or in a graphic novel...the writers attempt to taunt us.--Anthony Gooch 22:09, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
        • For the latter, he could just scale the building with telekinesis. He's done it before. --Action Figure 22:39, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
          • Escaping Danko's car (without opening or closing the door) and TK jumping to a building all within a spilt second, I doubt it...I think the writers are trying to lead us to something: Danko's car scene, appearing behind Micah, getting in Tom's apartment.--Anthony Gooch 22:55, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
  • I blame the Danko scene on poor editing. But Sylar has always had the Batman-Disappears-When-You-Aren't-Looking non-ability. --Action Figure 22:58, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Wierd...

...Nice episode, but how did Sylar survive the the knife? And what's wrong with Hiro? I guess we'll find out next week! --BoomerDay 22:39, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

• Maybe baby Parkman's ability has a statue of limitations....like an experation date. Hiro was rubbing his head through out the episode, and could Sylar rcr be evolving, or maybe Danko missed that "miniscule" part of the back of the head Sylar talked about.--Anthony Gooch 22:48, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

New ability

The guy that Sylar met (who thought he was Rebel - Tim Miller?) had a new ability. Wikipedia calls it Disintegration. I think that's an okay name.. --Peter

Describes it perfectly fine, I think... though for future reference, we shouldn't always go to Wikipedia for power names. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:50, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Wikipedia called him Tim...I thought his name was Tom?--Anthony Gooch 22:51, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Samson?

I'm pretty sure that in one of the recent BTEs, they said Samson would be returning again in this volume... and that it would be in this episode. But obviously, we didn't see him... mistake or what? -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:51, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

• He's on the IMDB cast list. He probably had a scene that was cut. :( --Crazyaspie 22:57, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
  • I hope he at least appears in the finale. His whole plotline was a major letdown... -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:58, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
    • IMDB is user submitted info. They probably just read that, too and made the entry. --Action Figure 22:59, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
