Talk:Saving Charlie
You might want to throw an External Links section on this page to back up the plot section, and I'd say it's about ready to go into the main pages. Looks very nice. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:39, 30 August 2007 (EDT)
- I've been wanting this page for so long! :) Thank you, DocM! --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 20:23, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
- I also call claim to the Heroesclix. I claimed it, no-one else can claim it! I'm watching you all! I can seeeeee yoooouuuuu! --DocM 20:30, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
Novel template; new namespace?
There's a "Graphic Novel:" namespace, which allows the graphic novel sidebars to appear long or short, depending on which namespace they're in. Should there be a "Novel:" namespace, into which this page could be moved, to allow the same thing? --Psiphiorg 13:50, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- Is there any reason to believe at the moment that there's going to be more than one novel?--Hardvice (talk) 14:06, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- If the first book sells well, you can be certain that there will be more. Besides, nearly every science fiction/fantasy show that's lasted more than one season has had multiple novels published during their runs: Buffy, Smallville, Lost, Battlestar Galactica 2005, Roswell, Supernatural, and of course, Star Trek. I can't imagine that Heroes would be any different.
On the other hand, you do have a point that no decision about future books has been announced yet, so perhaps it would be better to wait until the publisher has a chance to look over the sales figures before assuming there definitely will be more books. --Psiphiorg 19:04, 10 November 2007 (EST)- I agree completely. Heroes novels are almost inevitable. Once we get an announcement that more are coming, I'd say then would be the time to worry about setting up a separate namespace & category. Till then, this article is probably best left in Category:Promotions.--Hardvice (talk) 20:07, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- I'd also rather just see a couple of variables like "Written by" or "Published by" added to Template:Infobox multimedia than create three new templates for a category we're not even sure needs to exist right now. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:51, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- As for a category, perhaps Category:Fan Creations? It makes the most since to me there...--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:53, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- I don't think it's a fan creation, I think it's actually sponsored by NBC, but I could be wrong. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:41, 10 November 2007 (EST)
- You're not, Ryan. This is officially endorsed by NBC, and written with the full co-operation of the writers. See this press release, which includes a quote by Tim Kring which confirms this. :)-- Lost Soul talk contribs 03:16, 11 November 2007 (EST)

Canonicity
So what level of canon should this be? I'm thinking near canon. --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 21:37, 13 December 2007 (EST)
- It won't come out until after Christmas, so I haven't read it yet. But I think you're probably right--it'll probably be on the same level as Heroes Evolutions. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:53, 13 December 2007 (EST)
- Yeah, the writers are working together with the author. I really mad it is coming out of the 26th and not earlier... hahaJason Garrick 22:27, 13 December 2007 (EST)
- So ask for a gift certificate to [insert bookstore of your choice] for Christmas. :-) --Psiphiorg 04:20, 15 December 2007 (EST)
Timeline / Inconsistencies
Possible mistakes? If anyone has any ideas about these:
• Hiro sees the date when he travels to New York on a newspaper? (I seem to remember him being confused about the date after he sees Isaac Mendez)? (21)
• James Walker - Date of Death: August 19? (169)
• Hiro's "mother was alive and well" ? (212)--Heroes360 (talk) 17:51, 26 December 2007 (EST)
- I'll probably not be able to begin reading this until at least next week, as I'm requesting a copy from my library and they're still cataloguing it, but here are my thoughts: Yes, Hiro saw the date on the Newspaper in NYC. That's how he knew he had three weeks to stop the explosion. I dunno about James Walker's death date, but we have it listed as October 2nd (that's when his frozen body was discovered)... Is it possible Sylar had kept him on ice for weeks on end? If Hiro's mom is alive and well, maybe Kaito remarried after Hiro's birth mom died?--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2007 (EST)
- I should have said on a newspaper at the newsstand that he pick up the 9th Wonders comic from --Heroes360 (talk) 21:10, 26 December 2007 (EST)
- Yeah, that would be different. In the episode, Hiro doesn't see the date until he is in Isaac's apartment.--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:23, 26 December 2007 (EST)
- I haven't read Saving Charlie yet, but technically, Hiro did learn the date to which he traveled (namely November 8) from the New York Chronicle, a copy of which also happened to be at the newsstand where he picked up the 9th Wonders! comic. I'm curious to know the actual wording of the passage--there's not much room to allow for what was shown onscreen, but I can certainly devise a possible wording that would mean that Hiro learned the date from a newspaper which also happened to be at the newsstand. (In actuality, the New York Chronicle was held by the NYPD detective, I believe.) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:56, 26 December 2007 (EST)

- Regarding James Walker's death, Mohinder tells the FBI on October 11, 2006 that "James Walker in Los Angeles was killed nine days ago" (Fallout). That puts James's death at October 2, 2006, which also fits with the other events of Don't Look Back, the episode in which James is shown dead. I have no idea where in the world August 19th comes from. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:01, 27 December 2007 (EST)
- August 19th was just what it said on the wall in James Walker's toe tag or something. It could of very well been his birthday or something, but Hiro took it to mean the current date. --PeterDawson 12:23, 28 December 2007 (EST)
