Comments

Oh, I am not happy about this. Not at all. And this episode was going so well too.--Falcomadol 21:53, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Which part was that again? Dx Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:02, 8 December 2008 (EST)

The part where Mohindar looked like an evil underling as Arthur exposed the formula to the catalyst. They did some patching at the end, but the super soldiers bit is way too much for this show. Whoever has been writing and producing this show needs to have it taken away from them, for the good of everyone.--Falcomadol 22:04, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Hmm, "whoever has been writing and producing this show"... I believe that would be the writers and producers of Heroes. :P Mike 22:07, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Indeed, and they should all be fired. Or put in front of a firing squad. After this episode, I'm leaning towards the latter. Frankly, I'm starting to feel like an idiot for continuing to watch this season when so many other people have thrown up their hands and given up on the show. I'm wondering if there will even be any lights to turn out when I leave.--Falcomadol 22:31, 8 December 2008 (EST)

I'll turn 'em off, I'll be the last to leave the show. Dracomaster4 22:36, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Nope, I'll be the last. ;) I can't ever imagine not watching Heroes unless it was (knock on wood) canceled, or worse: if Claire or Hiro were killed off. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:38, 8 December 2008 (EST)

I'd stay even if they get killed off, so I'd be the last unless it was the Cancellation Future. Dracomaster4 22:43, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Honestley, i don't think its as bad as everyone thinks it is, i was one (if not the only) of the people that liked season 2, i mean, of course it has changed, but i think thats to be expected. Now i think the writers are kinda getting the Heroes formula back and are trying to revert back to first season, but we'll just have to see. Til then, i'm staying a Die-hard Heroes fan for life!--Anthony Gooch 22:45, 8 December 2008 (EST)

I liked season 2. Bloodbath 23:24, 8 December 2008 (EST)

I agree. I actually think season three would be the best season if it didn't have so many mini-story arcs, and if people didn't keep switching alliances so damn often. I'm not so sure what's so bad about it, other than that. And season two was easily the worst season, but it wasn't that bad by itself. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:46, 8 December 2008 (EST)

The thing is that I know I'll keep watching at least until the end of the season, but this is no longer a great show, and it's not even a good show anymore, this is a bad show, and I'm starting to watch it for the pleasure of seeing a trainwreck in action. The dialogue is bad, the characterizations are in no way consistent, the acting is bad, you don't know who's going to get killed this week, but you damn well know who ISN'T going to get killed this week, so there's no suspense. No one left from the first season is in any genuine risk anymore because they're afraid to lose the fans of X or Y character now that they've lost the mainstream. They're going to kill people every week now, but it's all new cannon fodder. The only worthwhile character they created this season was Arthur and he was obscenely overpowered to the point where they had to write him out. There are problems here, I know it, and I'm watching it anyway. Probably the worst sign is creating one-episode characters for the purpose of moving their one-use-only power to Sylar so they can have a 10 second scene. Doh! And if you count Hiro's mother, then we got TWO single serving characters this week. We've had a raftload of them this season. Black-hole-guy, metal-hand-guy, puppet-master-guy, and you can bet that super-soldier-with-no-morals-because-he's-suffering-from-PTSD-guy is going to be next week's single-serving character.--Falcomadol 22:51, 8 December 2008 (EST)

If it's any conselation, puppet master guy will be important in volume 4....--Anthony Gooch 23:16, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Also, Bryan Fuller will be returning to the show. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:17, 8 December 2008 (EST)

"Our Father" = Best. Episode. Ever. I loved the way Sylar killed Elle, I loved all the Hiro and Claire stuff, I loved Ando's reaction, I loved every bit of Arthur's final scene, and I love the direction the show is headed. The only boring part was the scene with Tracy and Nathan talking, but we got to see Flint and Knox haunting the hallway, so it even redeemed that part!--Mistyjo 06:55, 9 December 2008 (EST)

After checking the authors of this episode and seeing the list of other episodes they wrote (including "Homecoming" and "Angels and Monsters") I see why I liked this episode so much, these two are the best writers on the show. Did you notice not one cheesy line this week? Plus, the characters are acting more like themselves. I also appreciate the broadening of Sylar's character. He went from bad to evil, but his motives are so clear and he has managed to hold on to his humanity too. I think there's more to him not killing Peter than Peter's lack of powers. Also, before he burns Elle, he touches her, he loves her, he just loves himself more. These writers should write every episode.--Mistyjo 07:17, 9 December 2008 (EST)

I loved this episode. Technicly Peter was the one to kill Arthur: he fired that bullet, all Sylar ended up doing was letting it go letting it finish shooting Arthur in the head. Watch his hand and you'll see that all he does is lower it and not make any gestures that would indicate that he pushed that bullet along. Peter truly killed Arthur not Sylar and I liked that too. I think its about time one of the villians were killed and not just defeated and contained in some manner. Technicly Peter did kill before: he killed Future Nathan and if Future Nathan survived that, then he very likely bled to death. Also we got to see that people who have the power of regeneration can be killed for good and not just temporarily. Angela and The Haitian were right: Arthur was just too powerful and too dangerous to be left alive, he'd have easily broken out if he was just captured and it all would have started again. I would have liked a massive battle between all of the heroes and Arthur that ended with his death like in one fanfiction story where they all fought Sylar and Matt and Niki were killed before Hiro finally killed him by decapitating him (all of the villans were killed in that one: Sylar by Hiro, Elle by Sparrow, Maury by Arthur, Arthur by Adam, Adam by first Noah and then Mohinder, West (who was revealed to be really evil) by Claire, Angela by Ando, Sparrow by Noah and Bob by Claude) and then they later fought Sparrow who in that story had a combination of Linda Tavara and Arthur's absorbtion powers (she stole people's powers like Arthur but it killed them like Linda) and was finally killed by Noah who shot her in the head. Those are the sort of things that make shows interesting: a good battle that ends with the death of the villian. Although I suppose Arthur was just too powerful for that even if Peter (if he still had his powers) and Sylar teamed up to fight him. I guess assination was the only real way to kill him. If Arthur could be killed like that, then that means shooting Sylar in the head or decapitating him should finally kill him. Of course that will be difficult to do. From what they showed of Elle's body though, I think Sylar just cut her head open to kill her, not to gain her powers. He seemed to regret what he did though.--WarGrowlmon18 10:22, 9 December 2008 (EST)

• The Great Wall of Text hammers my brain. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:21, 9 December 2008 (EST)
• "Technicly Peter was the one to kill Arthur: he fired that bullet, all Sylar ended up doing was letting it go letting it finish shooting Arthur in the head." - I disagree. Remember, Sylar doesn't have any powers to freeze time or anything like that. The only way he could've stopped that bullet was to use Telekinesis and stop it entirely. That would remove all momentum from the bullet and mean that as soon as he stopped holding it there, it would simply drop to the ground and be completely harmless. In order for it to hit Arthur, he would have to actively propel it back along it's path. So though Peter did make an honest attempt to kill his father (and so from a psychological standpoint, he may as well have done so), Sylar prevented it from happening, and then killed Arthur himself instead. --Maelwys 11:55, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • As a note, in this week's graphic novel, Arthur seems satisfied that Peter is responsible for his death. Also note that the bullet is spinning as it hovers in front of Arthur: something it wouldn't do if Sylar was stopping it telekinetically. Of course, it wouldn't really spin no matter what was going on... --Gadfly 12:01, 9 December 2008 (EST)
    • The way it was spinning like that indicate Sylar probably just held it enough with telekinesis to stop it from going any futher, but didn't take it all away. If you watch Sylar, all he does is drop his hand and let go, he makes no hand motions that indicate he flung it into Arthur.--WarGrowlmon18 13:41, 9 December 2008 (EST)
• What are you talking about? A formula that gives soldiers superhuman abilities? That's totally original! I'm amazed at the writer's creativity! --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 14:10, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • • "Technicly Peter was the one to kill Arthur: he fired that bullet, all Sylar ended up doing was letting it go letting it finish shooting Arthur in the head." - Disagree. Peter pulled the trigger proving he could do what was needed. Events changed during the bullets path because Sylar used telekinesis on the bullet. At this time, the bullet in the control by Sylar, even though Peter intended to kill his father, he did not (he only proved he was capable of doing so). Sylar could've dropped the bullet to the ground, or changed it's trajectory. It was Sylars decision to make the bullet continue and kill Arthur which is why it makes perfect sense when Sylar told Peter "You're not a killer, but I am". Sylar killed Arthur. --Denali 14:39, 9 December 2008 (EST)
    • "As a note, in this week's graphic novel, Arthur seems satisfied that Peter is responsible for his death." I agree Arthur felt proud but disagree why. It wasn't for responsibility for his death since Peter didn't cause it; moreover, Arthur said, "I'm proud he pulled the trigger...Peter proved me wrong." By pulling the trigger, Peter showed Arthur that he is strong enough to do what needs to be done, that's why he said it's the best feeling in the world. --Denali 14:39, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Kinda fun to see how different ppl's opinions are on this episode :) Personally, I think that it was the best episode since season 1 - especially the director, the photographer and the editors did some stunning work! Jack Coleman, Zachary Quinto, Jimmy Jean-Louis and Ashley Crow did some of their best performances so far (save Coleman in "Company Man"). It was a treat to see Tamlyn Tomita and Chad Faust. For the first time in years (or even ever) I found Hiro as endearing as people claim he is (and his cliffhanger (façadehanger?) was also great) . The scenes with Claire & Noah, Hiro & Ishi, Peter & Arthur, Nathan & Tracy and pretty much everything with Sylar were absolute series highlights. The Sue Landers scenes might even reach my top three of Heroes moments. Angela did what she does best - ice cold commanding. Ando, Matt and Daphne makes a terrific trio. And the super soldiers story really appeal to me so far. Now - if only the writers could be more consistent (in pretty much every aspect) I would be nothing but smiling :) --Pierre 20:24, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Arthur/Lead Image

What a shame. He was a pretty good villain. I wish he stuck around at least until the volume finale... meh.

Also, my suggestion for the lead image is the bullet hovering in front of Arthur's face. Just my two cents. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:14, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• I, personally, like him laying dead on the carpet, but i think either/or would do the job!--Anthony Gooch 22:24, 8 December 2008 (EST)
  • I dunno, that image seems too spoilery for the purposes of introducing a synopsis. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:44, 8 December 2008 (EST)
    • Agreed, with the bullet image, you kinda know it's stopped, one could think it was Arthur holding it there, but with the carpet painting job picture...that leaves nothing to chance. Dracomaster4 22:46, 8 December 2008 (EST)
    • Point taken, ok, what about the fire burning in Sylar's eyes at the beach?...or should we stick with "fatherly" things, b/c of the title?--Anthony Gooch 22:47, 8 December 2008 (EST)
      • Or maybe a shot of when Noah was staring in silence (almost lovingly) at Claire, at the end of their conversation. Mike 22:53, 8 December 2008 (EST)
        • Nah, we had a Bennet last week, i don't think they should get the honor 2 weeks on a row lol--Anthony Gooch 23:17, 8 December 2008 (EST)
• Any picture of Arthur should work, other than the one with him head on the ground. Bloodbath 23:20, 8 December 2008 (EST)

OK Go

Oh gosh, here we go again. Sue Landers' ability looks to be a fun one to discuss! :D Her scene with Sylar was so cool, although admittedly at first I wondered why Sarah Palin was on Heroes.--Crazylicious 22:22, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Haha, when I first saw here, that was exactly what I thought - she looked like Sarah Palin. Anyway, I made pages for Sue Landers and her ability. Mike 22:27, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• So i guess it safe to speak for everyone and call her ability Lie detection....unless someone wants to add "super-human-mental-falsehood readings" or "Sue's ability" to the ballott, lol :D--Anthony Gooch 22:30, 8 December 2008 (EST)
  • "super-human-mental-falsehood readings" -- THIS.--Crazylicious 22:32, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Sandra

I just have to say, the makeup artists did a really good job at making Claire;s mom look younger--Cairoi 22:47, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• I thought the same thing! I picked up on that instantly and was like, "Wow! They did an amazing job!" (Admin 22:56, 8 December 2008 (EST))
  • Same here, although, I wonder if they used the same technique as the opening scene of X-men 3. Dracomaster4 23:04, 8 December 2008 (EST)
    • Thought the same exact thing. :O--Riddler 23:11, 8 December 2008 (EST)
      • What do you mean? I haven't seen the X men films.--Cairoi 23:17, 8 December 2008 (EST)
        • They just made Ian McKeller and...um...Professor X, look younger, like botox, only without the facial poisoning! lol--Anthony Gooch 23:27, 8 December 2008 (EST)
        • They used personal photographs from the actors possession and used it as a reference for digital regression of aging, here's a link with pictures. http://lolavfx.com/20060612_fxguide_xmen3.pdf Dracomaster4 23:35, 8 December 2008 (EST)
          • That's really cool! If only they did that for George Takei in 1977... no offense to Eijiro Ozaki, but he looks nothing like George... Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:39, 8 December 2008 (EST)
            • Yeah, I actually thought of it when I saw that episode, was a little disappointed they couldnt find someone who looks like George. Dracomaster4 00:07, 9 December 2008 (EST)
      • I really thought it was a different actor LOL --NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 10:43, 9 December 2008 (EST)

The time line?

So now that Hiro went back in time and took the catalyst from his mother, what does that say for the events in the time line this season that all involved Claire being the catalyst? Like when Sylar said that Claire was different and special when looking at her brain, and when Hiro's father made the tape telling Hiro to gaurd the formula and that there is someone out there with "the light" in them (the catalyst, Claire). Now that they made it so that Claire isn't the catalyst anymore did all these events even happen, or did the time line kind of loop around those people involved in the events, kind of like what happend with Ando in season one when Hiro went back in time to save Charlie, where Ando still recalled Hiro never knowing knowing Charlie in the past but everyone who worked at the Burnt Toast Diner remembered Hiro form the past? I bet what I said didn't even make any seance to any of you, haha sorry I'm trying to be as clear as possible.--Cairoi 23:03, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• I'm thinking what Claire said will make Noah guard her this time around, and if Kaito found Ishi dead in the chair, he's most definately make a tape telling Hiro to find it, because now he has no idea who has the catalyst. Dracomaster4 23:05, 8 December 2008 (EST)
  • Yeah thats what I'm so confused about, Why would he even bother making a tape if the catalyst is lost, unless he knows someone took it form her and the catalyst is still out there somewhere. --Cairoi 23:09, 8 December 2008 (EST)
  • Theory: Kaito finds Ishi dead. He knows she's given up "The light", and he knows she wanted to give it to Hiro. He knows Hiro has it now, and keeps it a secret just like Claire. Either way, all of that stays the same. --Riddler 23:11, 8 December 2008 (EST)
    • So then what's so special about Claire? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:12, 8 December 2008 (EST)
      • Exactly. But even if your theory is right Riddler, do you this the writers will even bother to explain this, or will the just let it go?--Cairoi 23:14, 8 December 2008 (EST)
        • My 2p is that with time travel I always just assume that events in the past will end up turning into a predestination paradox (i.e. the past hasn't changed at all because the present only exists thanks to the time travel) unless the present is noticeably changed. In this case that would mean that the catalyst has always been in the present which would still leave the problem of what Kaito thought had happened to it, unless he assumed that Ishi had given it to young Hiro--NichS 21:36, 9 December 2008 (EST)
• Remember, in this timeline we dont "know" that Claire was the catalyst, only that everyone assumed so. Sylar only said that she was special, that could be something entirely different from the catalyst. Perhaps Hiro was the catalyst all along. TexasHays 23:21, 8 December 2008 (EST)
  • Good point, we only assumed Clare was the catalyst b/c Claire said, "I think, i'm the catalyst", but what does she know, this is the girl that stuck her fingers in the garbage disposal...--Anthony Gooch 23:25, 8 December 2008 (EST)
    • Even if Sylar didn't tell Claire that, he likely still left her alive. My guess is Kaito is the one who rescues Hiro from falling and Hiro explains who he is.
      • The problem is you guys are saying maybe Hiro had it all along to solve any problems in the timeline... but he didnt have it all along either way, because Arthur took it. If anything, Arthur had always taken the Catalyst at that point, and it had been lost for 16 years. But that doesnt explain the special claire comment by Sylar. Id say events changed. --Action Figure 00:23, 9 December 2008 (EST)
• Oh, not to mention the fact that Ishi Nakamura was buried in 1990 and died in 1992 V_V --Action Figure 10:35, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • Our Father's time-travel scenes occur roughly "16 years" before ~April 2007, so that could be late 1990 (hard to imagine how it's '92). It's concurrent with the Company Man flashback set "14 years" before October 2006 (presumably just late 1991 and any of 1992). Really, at this point, I'd hazard to guess that Hiro was incorrectly estimating his mother's funeral's date in Cautionary Tales ("It's 17 years ago") and it occurred November-December 1991 (almost 15 years before Company Man, 15 years 4-5 months before Our Father, and 15 years 3-4 months before Cautionary Tales).--Tim Thomason 19:47, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Why not Hiro's sister?

I get that Hiro's dad didn't want to give the catalyst to Hiro because he didn't have faith in him, but why not give it to Hiro's sister? I mean Hiro's mom siad she wanted to keep it in the family right? Maybe its because shes a girl, after all he did have a problem with letting her be the head of his company or what ever it was, in season one. Maybe the catalyst can only be held by someone with a power and she may not have one. Or maybe the writers have just completely forgotten about her character. What do you think?--Cairoi 23:26, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• Hiro's sister is likely in Japan and Kaito was likely worried there wasn't time enough to track her down and get her to the USA before she would die.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:49, 8 December 2008 (EST)
• Plus they may have known that Hiro had powers (even if not sure what) and she didn't. They seemed to want to make sure someone with powers had it, thus Kaito's interest in Claire as the "perfect place." --Gadfly 23:53, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Ellephone?

Anyone catch the names on Elle's cellphone? I saw Sparrow Redhouse. Nice touch, props department. I'm also betting the cell was a Sprint phone doubling as a blatant product placement. As long as I'm on the subject of phone contacts, I gotta say that Sylar preparing to kill Sue's party guests and saying "Mmm... cake" was the most epic Heroes line ever, ince itmade me remnisce on the golden days when we thought Sylar ate the brains. Yay! Kortu 00:09, 9 December 2008 (EST)

• --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/9/2008 00:32 (EST)
  • That's not all the names. Sylar scrolled a bit more. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:15, 9 December 2008 (EST)
    • Yes it is; I merged three frames together into one for the shot so they'd all show. :) --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/9/2008 01:17 (EST)
    • Haha, "ellephone". I got the numbers written down to put on the character pages. I don't think Melvin Crum has a page yet, but his number was listed as 617-555-0145. Also, they misspelled Curtis's last name.--Piemanmoo 01:30, 9 December 2008 (EST)
      • By "they", you mean Elle misspelled Curtis's last name, right? Must be the blonde in her ;) jk. --Denali 13:08, 9 December 2008 (EST)

You don't have anything that I want

Of course Peter didn't have any powers that Sylar wanted, but what about The Haitian? Wouldn't his power be extremely helpful? It would have been easy to take it since Haitian was worn out from restraining Arthur. Bloodbath 00:29, 9 December 2008 (EST)

• I think Sylar wants what's in the next room even more than the Haitian's ability; also, with Arthur dead, the Haitian could more easily fight Sylar off and block his abilities.--MiamiVolts (talk) 04:06, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • What was in the next room? Nathan, Tracy, Mohinder and the formula, all of which he could take while drugged after getting the Haitian's ability. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 07:28, 9 December 2008 (EST)
    • I dont know, even after being exhausted holding back Arthur, the Haitian didn't seem too reluctant to chase Sylar immediately afterwards. Peter wouldn't have told the Haitian to go after Sylar if he didn't think the Haitian could defend himself anymore. --Denali 13:13, 9 December 2008 (EST)
• Don't have anything I want - what about Arthur? His head would be swimming with abilities, including time travel which Sylar hasnt yet acquired.
  • "what about Arthur? His head would be swimming with abilities..." - Who said that?? Please sign your post, thanks. Arthur took a bullet square in the forehead, his brain probably received massive trauma, maybe Sylar could pick up all the brain matter and put it back together like a watch and then figure out the abilities but I highly doubt it, nor would Peter/Haitian allow it right in front of them. --Denali 09:06, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Next week's episode?

"Duel"? Or "Duality"? "Duel" is currently listed... --Gadfly 23:50, 8 December 2008 (EST)

is there something else on this page that refers to next week's episode? :) But yes, a few sources list "Duality" as the title. --Gadfly 09:58, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Hiro vs Hiro?

I'm not pretty sure about this... but in the Duel preview I saw two guys and one with a sword... and they look like Hiro! what do you think?

• no when i saw it, it looked like ando against hiro.Gabriel Bishop 13:50, 9 December 2008 (EST) Gabriel Bishop

• It was Kaito versus Hiro holding some french bread as a sword. I saw it in a promo picture for the episode. Mike 17:53, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Daphne's Power?

Daphne can take people much too large for her to carry with her while she moves at super-speed. Is there precedent for this, or is the the first time we've seen it? (p.s. first time poster, hope I'm doing this right) --Robzen 13:45, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Ah, of course. Thanks. --Robzen 14:03, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Maybe the same way Nathan carries people hundreds of miles... --Dumpster juice 17:53, 9 December 2008 (EST)

I don't get how Arthur...

Don't get how Arthur went back in time to take the catalyst from Hiro, if he went back in time before he took Hiro's powers. Am I missing somthign here :/? - Mike N. 14:34, 9 December 2008 (EST)

• Peter had Hiro's power before Arthur stole it. Arthur had access to Peter's lightning, a mimicked ability, and thusly Arthur had access to Hiro's ability. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 14:41, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • Oh, so he just took Hiro's power to make him powerless.. i got it :) - Mike N. 14:48, 9 December 2008 (EST)
    • Have you not been paying attention recently: Arthur teleported to and from Africa. How do you think he did that??? The power of imagination??? He used Peter's copy of Hiro's power Dumbo!!!!!!! --WarGrowlmon18 14:58, December 9, 2008
      • Hi mystery person above me. The dumb ones are actually easiest to spot on a wiki because they are the ones who dont sign comments... Action Figure 15:39, 9 December 2008 (EST)
        • Lol actually i am dumb but i thought he just went on a plane to africa... w/e :/ - Mike N. 15:41, 9 December 2008 (EST)
        • They're also the ones who don't sign comments even after being told several times how to do so... with pictures. But Mike, don't worry about it. If you missed the part where Arthur teleported back to Pinehearst from Africa, then that's an understandable assumption to make, since we never saw him teleport to Africa in the first place. No worries! Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 09:41, 10 December 2008 (EST)
      • WarGrowlmon18, please remain civil. Thank you. (Admin 15:42, 9 December 2008 (EST))
        • And thanks for signing your comment ;) --Action Figure 17:46, 9 December 2008 (EST)
      • Wargrowl18 - The point of the wiki is for people to come and ask questions, get clarification and enjoy the Heroes experience. There is no need for insulting comments and/or name calling. Nobody wants any of that here. --Denali 09:14, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Quotes?

" I like teleporting better. Less windy"

   - Ando (referring to Daphne's super speed) 

Is there confirmation this was Ando? I distinctly remember it being Matt that said this.--Crazylicious 18:41, 9 December 2008 (EST)

No, it was definitely Ando who said it. It is the sort of thing Matt would say though... --Gothzilla 21:52, 9 December 2008 (EST)

That's a whole bunch, isn't it! I'll work on images after dinner. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:25, 9 December 2008 (EST)

• A few of those have spoiler pages that can now be converted. I've marked them as so such that no one such mistakenly duplicates the work (though it does kind of mess up your template format, sorry).--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2008 (EST)
  • I think they're all converted now, more or less.
    • Made party guest articles. Pictures would be appreciated. - Tristan0709 20:49, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Just out of curiosity, is there some reason the credited on-screen names aren't used for these? For instance, Ewan Chung is credited here as "Sue's Office Mate" but on-screen he is credited as Office Worker #4. Granted, the former is more aesthetically pleasing, but we don't even know if he worked in the same office, or was visiting, or what. Wouldn't "Elevator Passenger" be more informative and less speculative? --Gadfly 09:55, 10 December 2008 (EST)

• • • • Aesthetics is the main reason. I have no problem using "office worker (I)", "officer worker (II)", etc. but the party guest route was already being used before I got to it. We can go through and change links a bit if you want...but I do think that saying "male party guest" is a bit more descriptive than "office worker (what number was he again?)". Also, the elevator guy played by Ewan Chung was in the same office as Sue--she walked by him in the first shot of the office. You can see him in this picture (though the actual moving scene identifies him a bit better). -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:20, 10 December 2008 (EST)
