- It probably better belongs with the first batch as you have it, but we need to keep the episodes in order on the portals, so I put it in "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World".--Hardvice (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2007 (EST)
Next Batch
FYI, for those interested, Tim Kring said there will be a story arc called "The Quest for the Sword". Don't know when or which episodes - unfortunately, I have a feeling it will happen concurrently with the Are you on the list? arc. How to distinguish ... hmmm ... wait and see ... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- Well the quest is obviously over :D Company Man and Parasite seemed to open a lot of new doors.. Claire is no longer in TX, the house is gone, Hiro got his sword, Nathan learns he'll be veep, Mohinder is mohistory and Simone got Simoned, Peter gets emowned, lots of new characters, etc etc.. new arc time?
- Yes, most definitely. We'll take our cue from the advertising and promos that NBC shows. (My guess is it will have something to do with the explosion, or with the "Save the World" part of the message.) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:59, 7 March 2007 (EST)
"No one is safe"
The last two or three episodes have had "No one is safe" whispered at the ends of the previews, whereas "Are you on the list?" was used maybe twice. I know that the list is still prominently used, but what role does "no one is safe" play?--Baldbobbo 18:39, 1 March 2007 (EST)
- Spooky advertising? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:42, 1 March 2007 (EST)
Capitalization
It strikes me funny that each arc is capitalized except "Are you on the list?". I know we originally decided to keep it lowercase, but now it looks even funnier than if it read "Are You on the List?". — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:25, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
- Right. I think the prior decision to keep it lowercase was in a different light. It was to name that article after its subject which (originally) was the tagline/catchphrase itself, and hence normal capitalization for quoted sentences (capitalize only the first word and proper nouns) applied. In contrast, when the tagline is used as a title (for the collective arc), capitalization ought to follow normal practice for titles -- capitalize all nouns, pronouns, etc. In this case, the You and List should be capitalized I think. --Mercury McKinnon 22:16, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
