Asterisks
- I believe they're dashes, not asterisks. On the image here I can see it being a little more difficult to discern, but watching the actual episode I'm pretty sure they're dashes. Anyone confirm real quick? (Admin 09:31, 29 November 2006 (EST))
- In Seven Minutes to Midnight, the image is much closer and clearer and they're definitely dashes. They probably got bloated by the gamma filter, which would emphasize any luminence. See this cap.--Hardvice (talk) 12:22, 29 November 2006 (EST)
Specials
On and off screen the show has started refering to the people with special abilities as 'Specials' so why aren't we?--WolvenSpectre 22:09, 7 March 2007 (EST)
- I'm sorry, I haven't noticed that. I'm not so interested in the off-screen references, but when are people called "specials" on air? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:03, 10 March 2007 (EST)
- Actually one of the occurrences was my ears playing tricks on me. As far as I can find there was one occurrence, and when I went searching online for help to find more, I found that some people in production are saying this was the first step to bring in the term they are pushing for people with special abilities as "Specials". In Episode 18 ("Parasite") when the police leave Isaac's Apartment HRG says it. Keep in mind this file has been transcoded 6 times from the original then cleaned up later. HRG says "is a" but it is run together with the emphasis on the "is".--WolvenSpectre 05:34, 10 March 2007 (EST)
- Hmm, I'm not hearing it on that audio clip or on the original program. I hear Mr. Bennet say "is special", using the word as an adjective, not a noun. Jack Coleman usually has pretty clear diction. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:50, 10 March 2007 (EST)
