Mohinder and Rene

They were credited as appearing, but where were they?--Ratclaws 22:07, 23 November 2009 (EST)

• Mohinder was 8 wks in the future and Rene wasn't there... ~~IHH—Talk 22:11, 23 November 2009 (EST)
  • Mohinder was 8 weeks in the past. Just saying... --King Zach 03:37, 24 November 2009
    • In the original version of the episode (circa two or three months ago) Rene was supposed to be in the episode...but I can't say much more than that. I don't know if there was a scene that was filmed and cut, if there was a scene that was written and cut, or if there was a scene that was moved to another episode. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2009 (EST)

I didn't see Rene listed in the opening credits... --CourtesyofTVRage.com 01:47, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Redemption Timeline

Well, we already had a pretty good idea that this season takes place in 2009, and this episode took place on Thanksgiving, so this episode would be November 26, 2009. Time to start placing Volume Five events... --Ricard Desi (t,c) 23:54, 23 November 2009 (EST)

• Although you're correct that this takes place on Thanksgiving, and almost definitely correct that it is meant to take place in 2009, if we place this entire season in 2009, it would automatically negate other canon sources. Since the timeline is off and canon sources contradict each other, we won't be able to place any events for Volume Five. See here. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:16, 24 November 2009 (EST)
  • While I agree the timeline's a mess, since the start of Volume Five, all signs point to 2009 as far as I've seen. At the very least, The Caged Bird (a Vol.3 GN) takes place in October 2007, so this would have to at least be 2008. During Thanksgiving break, I'm going to be looking through the old episodes and see what I can to do reconstruct some kind of timeline out of it (already starting with the comics on User:Ricard_Desi/Condensed_timeline). But stuff that is related to this episode (some of the surrounding episodes, Slow Burn, Part 9, and details surrounding Suresh's, Joseph's, and Danko's deaths) would fall in late Autumn 2009. --Ricard Desi (t,c)
    • The most maneuverable split is between volumes 3 and 4. The only in-series time that a date was stated between there was Tracy saying that she hadn't seen Nathan in 2 months. That's not necessarily the night of the Pinehearst fire. It's the only thing that works. In fact, even if this season is taking place in 2007, there is more than a 2-month split between volumes 3 and 4 anyway. Also, please somebody do something about the dumb thing where October 1st is the date of the eclipse. You realize that means that Claire and Zach went to school on a Sunday, right? Not to mention the fact that Sylar's watch tells the day of the month (September 24 + 4 days = September 28, the day of the eclipse--and not a school day!). And not every episode takes place only on one day. That whole timeline is a nightmare. NileQT87 00:45, 24 November 2009 (EST)
      • There are other sources that point to 2007...but this is not the place to discuss the timeline. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:28, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Hiro/Angela/Sylathan

Hiro loses his memory once again and Angela near gets killed the sylar-way for the third time. Lol @ Hiro thinking Lydia was trying to seduce him. When "Nathan" changed back to Sylar I thought that was it but "Nathan" was able to resurface?? I thought Sylar was the one in control. --JLYK

I'm assuming Nathan and Sylar will duke it out (or nathan will be killed somehow, as evident from the firing of Adrian Pasdar), and Sylar will gain control fully. As per the Hiro story line, I believe now that the "earth splitting" future is set in motion, with the Hiro that was killed by Ando in season 3 being the one that just lost his memories and travelled to the past or future somewhere. I really like where this season is going. It's dynamic for the first time in a while. Instead of focusing on every character in one episode, there are a select few during each episode, which is exactly what I had hoped for. I also like that the story line is unpredictable. I am surprised with every episode that airs. This by far has been my favorite season. Dean 01:16, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Agree, Dean. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:29, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Damian

So can we conclude from this that Damian's powers include more than simply memory restoration? He made Hiro forget various events that occurred to him since he came to the carnival, or rewound his memories, or... something more then merely projecting/restoring lost memories. And the events we saw in the memory flash were things that Hiro hadn't forgotten, so they weren't "restored." --CourtesyofTVRage.com 02:42, 24 November 2009 (EST)
