Name Change

The name of this episode changed to "Five Years Gone" (http://www.herosite.net/)

• It's discussed on the Talk:Spoiler:String Theory page--Bob 16:52, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Future Characters

• I think the best way to handle them is going to be to add articles for those who actually appear as characters and add Notes to the current articles for those who are merely mentioned, but that's just me.--Hardvice (talk) 22:43, 30 April 2007 (EDT)
  • I agree. There's enough to make an article for each of the Future Characters. Good idea about the Notes. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:14, 30 April 2007 (EDT)
    • I added a Note to Nathan Petrelli. He should be the worst of them, and it seems sufficient to me. In the meantime, I copied some edits others made into Future Sylar and Future Peter, and I like the way they're coming along, too.--Hardvice (talk) 23:20, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Woman behind desk

Who was the woman behind Mr. Bennett's desk in this episode? It looked like Angela Petrelli to me but the more I think about it, it could be Hana as well.--The Empath 23:10, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

• That was Hana. She was in the earlier scene with the little boy.--Hardvice (talk) 23:11, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Well now I just want to die. Why Hana, Why!? :'-( --The Empath 23:21, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Timeline mashup

• After watching this episode a second time, the best I can figure is we are watching some kind of mashup of the timelines when Claire is and isn't killed by Sylar. Peter's scar should be gone if Claire was saved, and Future Hiro should not be surprised that our Hiro travels back in time if he had already experienced it. However, Claire is still alive. Nikki implies that D.L. died during the bomb, but Hiro says he turned D.L. over to Bennett, who handed him over to SylarasNathan. Ug. Maybe I'm just thinking about this too hard... but there are a lot of timeline holes in this episode. Awesome o watch though anyway. --Fcphantom 00:18, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
  • Was Niki implying that D.L. died in the explosion? When Peter tells her he was the bomb, he only mentions Micah. I think that she knows D.L. died, though does know the real truth (Sylar giving him the slice and dice). I dunno; this episode gives me headaches. :-) --~~
    • It's all one coherent possible future timeline. Alright to clear it up: Claire didn't die (until later in the ep at least, obviously). Peter exploded, but Sylar used Candace's power to fool the others into thinking it was Sylar himself. Thus Future Hiro had actually stabbed Peter thinking him to be Sylar. When Peter regenerated the wound, Future Hiro had presumed Sylar had stolen Claire's regeneration. Thus, "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World," (a presumption by Alternate Future Hiro) is actually incorrect. Saving Claire did not prevent Sylar from using Candace's power to survive. Future Peter's scar is due to some other unexplained factor. It's not clear exactly how Micah or D.L. died, or whether Nikki and Peter's perception of how it happened is correct. But Future Sylar demonstrates that he did steal D.L.'s phasing. --Glue 02:52, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
• Apparently, the writers have a reason why Future Peter has the scar despite having Claire's power. They talk in an interview (don't recall which) about how NBC keeps giving them grief about it, but they assure them there's a reason for it.--Hardvice (talk) 00:27, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
  • My thought on this is that at some point, Hiro will impale Peter across the face with the sword, and it will knock Peter unconscious. Peter can empathetically mimic Claires healing ability, but he has to be conscious to think about it to get it to work; therefore he can't auto-heal like she can without thinking about it. While he is unconscious, and before he bleeds-out, someone will heal Peter's face...either cauterizing it with heat, or perhaps a healer other than Peter will close the wound, leaving the scar. When Peter wakes up, he has been healed by someone else, and doesn't really have anything to heal from, so the scar remains. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/1/2007 11:43 (EST)

Minor Characters

• So my Tivo cut off right after "To Be Continued" came up. Does anybody have the closing credits? We need names or descriptions for a couple minor characters (there aren't many with speaking/significant parts ... the little boy and his family at Primatech and the bartender at Niki's casino are the only ones that come to mind off the top of my head.)--Hardvice (talk) 01:05, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
  • OK, the family of the evolved human boy is credited as mom, dad, and son. Not too helpful. We should probably list them under their assumed names then (Mr. and Mrs. Crane -- not sure what to call the kid.)--Hardvice (talk) 10:24, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
    • Hopefully better than red dot boy--Bob 10:26, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
      • I suppose we could call him "young evolved human", but that might be too vague. Heroe!(talk) 10:35, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
        • "Crane boy" sounds a bit like a super hero name (he should team up with Tiger Lass for a kung-fu book), but it's probably our best choice.

Oxygen boy

Ok, so is it safe to assume the boy who suffocated his middle school and the kid Mr. Bennet had are the same person? What would we call his power? Heroe!(talk) 09:47, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

• No, it's not safe to assume that.--Hardvice (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

Candace, DL and Molly

When Hiro asks Bennet for these people, I think he's referring to their blood samples since Sylar had already killed DL and Candace. So does that mean he also killed Molly?--Bob 11:16, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

• Hiro says "and they'll all be safe when we succeed". I think he's referring to the people, and just doesn't realize that they're dead. Incidentally, there's something a bit sinister about this: in his scene with Matt, Bennet discusses their arrangement as one where he gives Matt the "dangerous" ones and Matt gives him the "harmless" ones, so there's a good chance that Bennet turned D.L. and Candace at least over to Matt; they'd then be ripe for Sylar-as-Nathan to eat. As to whether Molly is also dead, I don't think we can possibly know.--Hardvice (talk) 11:33, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
