Talk:Noah Bennet

Just writing too see if anyone had any theories on Mr. Bennett.

In Episode 11 "Fallout", when Mr. Bennett brought Claire to the jail to visit Peter Petrelli, Peter began a noticeable cough. Does Mr. Bennett have a sickness or is he ill? Is it one of his 'abilities'?

It also seems in the same episode in a prior scene that Sylar had no powers in the Primatech facility. Later when Eden came to suggest suicide, Sylar had his powers. Did Sylar learn how to manipulate them or was he blocked by Mr. Bennett?

Peter's cough: I believe as he's absorbing powers, he becomes more "ill" - but the details are still unknown, and it's all speculative. Feel free to add your theories here, though.

Sylar's powers: There's been a lot of back-and-forth about Sylar's powers, but it's the same idea - we just don't know anything conclusive quite yet. I'm sure the Haitian has something to do with it. You can add your Sylar theories here, or your theories about Mr. Bennet here. :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:35, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Re: Genesis

In the comment for HRG under "Genesis" it says that he overheard HRG in his father's apartment in Midras. This is not correct. At the time he overheard the phone call between HRG and his boss, Mohinder was in his father's Manhattan apartment. Also, in the unaired version of the pilot, the portion of the scene where Mohinder overhears HRG was not included (it ends as Mohinder glanses at the map). From the original context it appeared to me that HRG may not have originally known about Chandra's research (but did know OF him) - lending more evidence that HRG was originally supposed to be a minor character.

• I remember this being a little confusing to me, too, initially, but it was indeed Chandra's apartment in Madras where he overheard Mr. Bennet on the phone. He was talking to Nirand as he climbed up the stairs and then he enters the apartment. As he's looking around the apartment he ends up hearing Mr. Bennet and he rushes out.

  • It absolutely was New York, I just watched it two minutes ago.
    • So did I. :) He first enters the apartment in Madras which is where he overhears Mr. Bennet. Later in the episode he goes to NY and the landlord lets him into Chandra's apartment there. He finds that apartment ransacked. It's there that he tells the landlord that he's going to rent the apartment and that he has a job as a taxi driver. (Admin 10:05, 8 December 2006 (EST))
      • Ah, I see what's happened. The scenes are shifted. In the version I have here, we never see him at the apartment in Madras. It shows him talking to the landlord then going into Chandra's NYC apartment. The scene in the beginning ends with Mohinder talking to his father's friend int he street. - (Yoshie 10:11, 8 December 2006 (EST))
• It's also curious how HRG was in New York to meet with Mohinder and then a very short time later he turns up in Texas (before the sun sets!) to be welcomed home by Claire. What sort of budget does this guy have to work with that he can travel like that?!
  • When he appears in Mohinder's cab later, he makes the comment that he is going to fly out of JFK.

Wireless, Part 1

Is it just me, or is anyone else shocked to see HRG kick Hana to the ground. She is clearly a trained fighter, from the way she took down her superior officer (moustached guy concerned about her "heart"). Perhaps HRG has super powers after all? Maybe the Haitian is hidden around the corner, and he has nullified Hana's super strength. - AverageMan

• I think HRG just caught her off guard. And her power isn't super-strength. It's Electronic Data Transception. - Heroe
  • The graphic novels are considered "near-canon", I think mostly because they tend to slightly exaggerate the truth. I'm sure in reality (look at me, what am I talking about, "reality"??) they had an encounter and scuffle, but not as dynamic as in the GN. But who knows, right? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2007 (EST)

When his name is revealed...

It'll suck. Not the name itself, but if we decide to go back and change every single Mr. Bennet to a Name, it'll blow. (Just something I thought of the other day.) ---- 01:09, 9 January 2007 (EST)

I don't think we'll find out his name this season. Just my opinion - I think they'll keep it "mysterious" for quite awhile (like "Not Henry" on Lost's second season). But there's no need to go back and change his name - it's still Mr. Bennet, and even if we know his first name, he's still known as Mr. Bennet. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:29, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Plus, we can fairly safely move him to "Lorenzo Bennet" or whatever and let the redirect do the work. Since it's unlikely to move again, there's little danger of double redirects, and most of the existing links will need to stay "Mr. Bennet" anyway, since they refer to episodes in which we didn't know he was called "Boutros Boutros-Bennet" or whatever.--Hardvice (talk) 02:33, 9 January 2007 (EST)

"HRG's Diary"

Is the blog official? Because it makes a lot of radical assertions, and does not seem to be written in a very authentic style. If it is just a fansite, I feel it may be helpful to mention this next to the link, or people may end up using it to source unofficial material. Branfish 03:02, 18 January 2007 (EST)

No, the site you're referencing is not official (but neither are any of the blogs produced by NBC). It's a fan site about Mr. Bennet. Good point about the misleading link - I added that it's a fan site in the article space. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:08, 18 January 2007 (EST)
