I really like this section. The writers have said they purposely chose Biblical names, and this is the best place to list them. I'm not sure I'm buying the Thomas&rarr;Thompson or Benjamin&rarr;Bennet references, but I like the rest. Well done, Ice Vision. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 23:51, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Revision as of 23:05, 28 April 2007

Rename

  • "God and religion" seems redundant. Perhaps "Faith and religion" or just "Faith?" (Admin 12:42, 18 March 2007 (EDT))
    • I don't mind "God and religion", since they're not necessarily the same. Take the references to Kali in Monsters, for instance. But "faith" is fine, too. Doesn't really matter to me.... — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:27, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
      • I dunno. I can kind of see Admin's point. I mean, Kali is both a god and the subject of a religion, right? I just like "God and religion" because it abbreviates to Gn'R, but that's admittedly not really a reason to keep it where it is.--Hardvice (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
        • God is a part of some religions, but not necessarily all. Plus a religion is mostly a specific institution whereas faith is more abstract. I think the article could cover more material changed to "Faith and religion." For instance if one of the characters mentions a "higher power" without actually calling that power God then it wouldn't be accurate to assume that's what they're referring to. (Admin 14:41, 18 March 2007 (EDT))
          • Good point. Yeah, "faith" is fine with me ... unless Candace's nickname ever pops up. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
            • Yeah, that's why afterwards I didn't want to just go with Faith. Instant disambig right there. heh. But I do believe "Faith and religion" covers nicely the intention of the article and is not too unintentionally specific in its title. (Admin 14:45, 18 March 2007 (EDT))

Corinthian Casino

  • This is a good note, but the way it's worded right now makes it sound like the use of "Corinthian" instead of "Corinth" is necessarily meaningful, which it isn't. "Corinthian" is just an adjective meaning "from Corinth". In fact, my guess is that the whole casino is meant to be a nod to the "Venetian" (not "Venice") Casino in real-world Las Vegas, a similarly gawdawful casino which does to poor Venice what the Corinthian appears from its website to do to Corinth. I'm not sure exactly how to reword it to be less speculative, but we should be noting the coincidence, not implying a connection.--Hardvice (talk) 17:23, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
    • That's why I put it shares a name, and at the end the relationship is noted. I never stated it was a factual relationship.--Bob 17:41, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
      • That's just it: the wording (the relationship is noted) makes it sound like it Means Something.--Hardvice (talk) 17:59, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
        • Much better phrasing than mine. Thanks.--Bob 19:10, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
          • No problem. It's a great note; they could have gone with something without a Biblical connotation, after all, and given Tim Kring's background, I doubt they chose it haphazardly--Hardvice (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Lead image

Any one have any ideas for a good lead image? Heroe(talk) 00:21, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

  • Right now, no, nothing. I suppose you could put a picture of Claire talking to the Haitian, or something, but nothing stands out. After .07% airs, I think something like this Jesus imagery would work well. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:43, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
    • Jesus imagery? I though he was just filming a Creed video.--Hardvice (talk) 13:46, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
      • That's one messed up Creed video ... Looks like Salvador Dali gone bad. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:40, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
    • The one of Sylar's apartment (I'd completely forgotten all about it!) is a much better image than Isaac "with arms wide open". Less subtle, and quite disturbing. Disturbing is always good. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:01, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Names of Biblical Reference

I really like this section. The writers have said they purposely chose Biblical names, and this is the best place to list them. I'm not sure I'm buying the Thomas→Thompson or Benjamin→Bennet references, but I like the rest. Well done, Ice Vision. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:51, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

  • Thanks. I don't know about those two either, it seems kind of far-fetched. I just added because they have their similarities. It's probably just a coincidence though. -- Ice Vision
