Episode talk:One Giant Leap

This is getting ridiculous. The images, beside swiss-cheesing the text and distorting blurbs, look horrible at different dimensions. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2007 (EST)

What power did Sylar use to escape from Parkman in this episode?--Anchovyman 00:24, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

He probably stopped the bullets telekinetically and only pretended to be shot in order to divert Matt's attention. Once Matt wasn't paying attention, he did his quick float away move.--Tim Thomason 00:35, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, from what we've seen and from hints revealed by the writers in interviews, Sylar stops bullets using telekinesis with the effectiveness depending on how much time he has to prepare. When he was shot by Matt he didn't have much time to prepare so stopping the bullets in time knocked him backwards like when Mr. Bennet shot him. To get away he also supposedly used telekinesis which he's used before to carry himself upwards long distances. (Admin 00:42, 15 May 2007 (EDT))

Not Sylar, but "Worse-than-Boogeyman"?

After having watched this episode a second time I find myself wondering if it is in fact Sylar who has come to abduct Molly? It seems to me that it is more likely the unseen "Worse than the boogeyman"-character.

Reasons:

The man uses both telekinesis and probably som sort of regeneration (when shot).

He then disappears instantly

He does not kill Molly by slicing her head open, instead he tries to drag her away.

Why would Sylar want her alive?

And the biggest reason:

Molly utters the words: "How did he find me?"

In "How to Stop an Exploding Man" Molly explain that the "Worse Than the Boogeyman"-character can find her if she tries to locate him. When she was held at the FBI-safehouse in "One Giant Leap" could have been the first time she tried to locate the "Worse than the boogeyman"-character.

What do you think? Daveihaku

• He didn't use regeneration. He probably used telekinesis and may have worn a bullet proof vest to ease the impact of the bullets. Telekinesis is Sylar's ability, so I don't see where you're going with that. The writers wanted Molly to live, so they made the process just a little bit slower. You can't kill off a little kid, can you? Sylar probably followed Molly, like he hung around after he killed "David" in Turning Point. Sylar found Zane Taylor and his home very randomly, but there is an explanation behind it. The biggest clue is that he wore a baseball cap like Sylar. In conclusion, I don't buy it.--Ice Vision 12:44, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
• Good theory, but not quite right. Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said confrirmed in a CBR Q&A that it was Sylar who went after Molly at FBI Headquarters. I don't have the link but can dig it up for you if you want. Somebody mentioned Sylar chasing Molly at the FBI building and the writers said he had insight. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
