Talk:Arnold

Is his ability space-time manipulation or just time travel? AltesUTC CH

• Probably just space-time manipulation - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | Vampirate68 12:09, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
  • Did he teleport, stop time? Or was it said his ability is the same as Hiro's? I haven't watched the premiere, that's why I'm asking =( AltesUTC CH
    • This isn't word for word, but I think he said something along the lines of: {"I know you're sick and dying, but could you use your trick one last time?" "How long ago?" "14 Years *smiles*"} From that I would say that he just has space-time manipulation. - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 12:15, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• I actually thought that it was one of the "Object Displacement" issue, like when Future Peter sent Matt Parkman to Africa or when Arthur sent Hiro back in time. But if its Object Displacement, then Samuel wouldn't manage to go back in time (when he was Fourteen years ago) without the help of somebody who is a "time traveler". So to conclude, Ronald didn't just send him there, he teleported him back in past time, and back in present; Which means he obviously has Space-Time Manipulation. .--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 14:53, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
  • And he probably can move them just is space as well, we don't know where the carnival is, so unless they're in Japan, he sent them 14 years back and to Japan. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:59, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
    • Maybe he has the ability to send someone's mind back in time, like the temporal displacement from Lost--Gibbeynator 17:33, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

His name

Im sure towards the end of the episode Edgar called him Arnold, not Ronald :S TracyStraussFan 15:52, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• You're right. That's also how Jack Wallace is credited. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:04, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

maybe hiro and arnold...

...have the same disease/problem. Arnold has that thing to help him live longer but now he is just old and dying, so hiro can just use that thing to help him and then can use his ability. Maybe all time travellers end up with this disease. --mc_hammark 14:45, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

• I don't think so. Hiro is sick because of Matt Jr. Arnold is just old.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 14:47, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Preventing Joesph's Death

Has anyone else wondered why Samuel was willing to both use Arnold to time travel and use time travel to fix problems in the past, yet doesn't seem to connect the dots and just have Lydia identify Danko, then use Arnold to send him and Edgar back in time before Joseph was murdered? Is this just a huge plot-hole or could there be other reasons for why Samuel didn't just use Arnold's ability to save his brother? Your thoughts? -Barbedknives (talk)18:50, 3 October 2009 (EDT)

• Who says Joseph was murdered? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:24, 3 October 2009 (EDT)

Hysterical Blindness

Jugding from the fact that we hear Hiro's Teleportaion sound effect before the carnival appears. I think it is safe to say that Arnold teleported the enitre carnival to that location. --D Toccs 04:27, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

• We don't know what the limits are from the ability, so we can't say he teleported the carnival. So it's not safe to say it -- (WaterRatj) 08:00, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
