Why is this up?

This airs in a week, why is this up already?--Bob (talk) 16:39, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

• The redlink was there, and I had a comment to add. I have since moved the comment to spoiler section, but I don't see any reason not to have this already made so we can get an early jump on things and, if people want to, perhaps spend more time on the Bionic Wiki after they finish here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:48, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Though it doesn't hurt to have this page here, I think we should try to avoid setting up the talk pages too much before the episode airs (the day of is generally a good time). Especially now that we have the navbar at the top of each talk page, I would hate for somebody to click through, get to the last talk page, and begin working on it instead of the current one. There's nothing wrong with having a red link, but if it's really bothersome, it can be commented out. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:07, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
    • Commenting out checklist to avoid confusion.--Bob (talk) 17:30, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
      • Changed the nextprevioustemplate to not display those redlinks in the future.--Bob (talk) 02:18, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
        • I made it so if "Next" is entered, it displays a link to add the next checklist but doesn't create a red link. Hope you don't mind.--Hardvice (talk) 18:51, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
          • That's a very smart solution. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Synopsis

• My internet is lagging big time, so I won't be able to do the synopsis. Any takers? Hopefully it'll speed up later tonight so I can help.--Bob (talk) 18:29, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Mind if I take this one on? You guys can always revamp it.--Riddler 20:43, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
• Speaking of divvying up responsibilities, I'll go ahead and do the appearances. Anybody else who wants to double check, that's fine with me. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:47, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

I missed pretty much every Hiro section.

My brother kept changing the goddamned channel to watch "I Love New York", the most god-awful show ever. =[--Riddler 22:07, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

• Your brother is evil to highest degree. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Anyhow, Hiro's storyline had him trying to convince Yaeko where her father would be found but she doesn't seem to trust him, asking him why he's staying with them. Kensei shows up talking in his usual heroic bluster and says the same thing Hiro did, but Hiro covers it up by saying Yaeko suggested it, bringing the two closer together. Kensei leads them into the camp and lets a guard stab him, promptly knocking him out after shocking the guard. They find Yaeko's father (New character!) who tells them White Beard's got thousands of muskets and is planning to overthrow the Emperor (the musket plot reminds me of Nobunaga Oda). Kensei and Hiro vow to destroy the guns and free the swordsmith. Unfortunately dawn has broken and a musketeer fires a shot at Hiro and Yaeko, mainly at the latter, while they're running. Hiro teleports them way away from battle. Hiro denies his powers but Yaeko puts it together and even realizes Hiro was pretending to be Kensei at the battle of Seven Swords. Yaeko asks Hiro if he loves her and he admits it. Right before they kiss Hiro stops time, worried about ruining time, but gives in and they kiss. The scrolls end there but Kensei witnessed the kiss. Later on Hiro finds Kensei who argues with him about the kiss. Hiro admits he accidentally fell in love with Yaeko but agrees to stand aside. Kensei says he'll destroy the muskets but then instead knocks Hiro out, a band of White Beard's men and most likely White Beard himself (though he wasn't wearing the trademark mask) appearing with Yaeko and the swordsmith captured. The group's leader, who is probably White Beard, promises Kensei whatever he wants. Hopefully with that we can get the Hiro plot written up somewhat decently. --PeterDawson 01:59, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Lead image.

I suggest Mohinder initially turning down Bob's plan on injecting Monica - They've reached "The Line" in what they can morally do. OR Sylar, Maya, and Alejandra passing "the line" (the border). =P--Riddler 22:38, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

• If there's a good shot of Mohinder and Bob I agree that'd be a good choice. (Admin 22:40, 29 October 2007 (EDT))
  • Bob and Mohinder are a good choice. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:19, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
    • Yeah, I figured they would do the borderline and the morally-gray line, but I wasn't expecting the crime-scene line of where Rick died in the Irish pub, and I think that would be the best shot for the title. My second pick is the shot of the fence of the US-Mexico border. Bob and Mohinder is a give-away/spoiler to the main story, and it's not as obvious.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
      • Not as spoilery only because we know Mohinder is working with Bob and the company as of a few episodes ago.--Riddler 23:27, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
        • On second thought, the border-line is probably the most important of the at-least four references, so my pick would be that one.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:37, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
        • Yeah, Mohinder and Bob aren't automaticaly associated with lines. The Rogue at the US border would probably be a better choice. Although I'm still thinking that there could be some better one out there yet. --Piemanmoo 01:23, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Credits

• Roberto Sanchez = Costa Verde officer who talks to Debbie first
• Irina Maleeva = Katarina, Ivan's wife
• Elya Baskin = Ivan
• Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa = swordsmith
• Beau Dremann = Ray, the officer who comes to CVHS second
• Shane Woodson = border patrolman, credited as "cowboy boots" -- I don't know which one he is.
• Rachielle Jacoby = cheerleading hopeful #1
• Ilene Perez = cheerleading hopeful #2
• Nicole Clifford = cheerleading recruit
  • I don't know which is which; are they the ones who try out with Claire, or the ones who get numbers written on their heads? In either case, this is about the only info on Rachielle Jacoby I could find, and I don't even know if it's the same person.
• Versatile Darryl Chan = Whitebeard's guard
• Kolya is Ivan's grandson; portrayer unknown
• Incidentally, the episode was dedicated to Tim Susco. He was a "key assistant location manager" for Heroes. He died 15 August 2007. IMDb. We should probably have an article about him. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:50, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Concerning the cheerleading girls, if any of the credited actors portray the girls who have the numbers Sharpied on their heads, we could probably identify them by the numbers given to them by Debbie. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:23, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Preview for next week

During the preview's I noticed that DL was still alive and talking to Niki.

Don't know if this is the right place for this but hopefully it will spark some discussion as to what happened. --Thehoodie 01:04, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

• He's scheduled to appear for Four Months Ago, so maybe it's a clip from then that they aired early.--Bob (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Unless you're talking about the Global TV promo that I haven't seen yet, DL was nowhere in the US version. D: --AvadaNella 02:25, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
