Talk:Intuitive aptitude
Sylar using ability
There's a decent capture of Sylar using his original ability on Brian here if you need one.
Psychoanalysis
Nothing worth going in the main article, yet, but Sylar's statement to Bennet (quoted in the article) implies that he can intuitively analyze human behavior, not just physical systems. --Ted C 12:02, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- Nice point. Can't wait to see how Sylar's power plays itself out. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:35, 4 January 2007 (EST)
Examples from Distractions
How do we mention examples of Sylar's power from Distractions? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:31, 6 February 2007 (EST)
Unclear examples
So Sylar's power is pretty much in constant use, I'm assuming. This is a different power, one which is hard to chronicle examples. Any thoughts on how we document this power? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:59, 6 March 2007 (EST)
- I believe Admin suggested using the ticking sound-effect as a cue. --Ted C 13:05, 6 March 2007 (EST)
- I dont think it was me since I dont associate the ticking with him using his power. I think the ticking is just for effect, though I think they're using it less. Personally I think his power is similar to insight for instance. Sometimes you might have a random flash of insight or other times you have to concentrate on something and then it comes to you.

- Yeah, but are we going to mention every time we hear the sound effect? For instance, when he's lying on the table in his cell in The Fix, we hear a tick tock, and then Sylar wakes up suddenly. Is that using his power? Or in Unexpected, when he's sneaking up on Dale, the sound effect is used again. Another example? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:30, 6 March 2007 (EST)
- I think in Parasite, he says "I want to see how that works", a clear reference to this ability. Soooo, I'm going to remove the question mark from the checklist since no one has yet to even reference this particular episode. But the conversation of other episodes is needed. I just think in Parasite, he definitively mentions it like he does in Six Months Ago.--Baldbobbo 13:08, 9 March 2007 (EST)
- You're right, that's a very clear example. And he and Bennet talk about it in Distractions, but I can't think of other clear uses of the power. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)
- As to the question of the sound effect: I've always gotten the impression that it goes with the character, not just the use of his original power. It seems more like whenever he's being sneaky, or whenever he's dominant in a scene (Beeman talks about this a lot in the commentaries), his "theme" takes over the soundtrack, and his theme is the clockwork sounds.
- That's exactly how I always saw it, too. (Admin 14:04, 9 March 2007 (EST))
