Wireless/Hana Gittleman (real name Stana Katic) was not in this episode according to imdb. But supposedly she was in Godsend which I have no memory of her being in, so maybe it's wrong.

Repeat the dialogue in a different tone, last week, parkman said it with authority...
"I bet you have a lot of questions... we all do..."

This week, he said it as if he was scared :P..

The scenes are re-shot from different perspectives. At the end of last weeks episode, we were seeing Ted and Matt's invasion of the Bennett's home through the eyes of the Bennett's, so from their perspective he would have sounded cold and in control.

Then this week we see it from Matt's perspective and we see that actually this was not his plan and he is completely winging it and doesn't want to be there. I think it's an impressive way of story telling.

How did Claude survive that? Am guessing Christopher Eccleston will be around for a couple more episodes to explain it.

Just a guess, but if I was standing invisibly in someone's office while they were told to kill me I would take the precaution of aqquiring a bullet proof vest.;)

Great

This show seems to be getting better and better by the minute!
Anyone else notice that the Haitian's necklace thingo is the same shape/design as Nicki's tattoo? Whats that all about?

I'm thinking it's some kind of a symbol for the Genome Project..

.. the same symbol was also embedded in Chandra's scrolling cipher-code on his computer.

AdMMM

Great

That was amazing! Such a fantastic ending. I haven't been that emotionally involved in any episode of any show for a long time! It will be interesting to see how this episode ties in with the New York explosion. It's on a 5 week break now though, isn't it?

It's like a stand of DNA really

Not Niki's tattoo. It's Jessica's tattoo.... it only manifests itself when she's about.

Sh*t cool necklace though... bring on the Heroes merchandise please.

More like RNA




We were also told that it's a combination of two Japanese characters that resemble 'Great talent' and 'Godsend'

I'm pretty sure it was also on Hiro's sword. I didn't realise it was on so many things.

EDIT: Holy ****, it's on a hell of a lot more things. Check out this page http://heroeswiki.com/The_Symbol

Goodshape

Okay

Yeah, that symbol is everywhere.

I've been noticing it but not paying it too much attention as I don't like those silly easter-egg style 'clues' in TV shows (like OMFG!! a DHARMA SIGN ON A DOLPHIN!!>11). But it really is everywhere.

Tbh, the only person who we've directly seen the haitian nullifying the power of is parkman, and that could be just blocking specifically matts power, not overall power removal.

Remember Parkman was also drugged by that point.

And as has been raised before how did Nathan fly away if the Haitian could nullify his powers... and how was Peter able to use his powers on the roof top confrontation.

Goodshape

Okay

Maybe it is the facility then, rather than the person.

Sylar was unable to use his powers while locked in the room, but the Haitian wasn't always hanging around.

Probably the best episode yet. Loved it.:p

I love the way there are no good/bad black/white obvious positions in this show.. it's all about shades of grey.

yeah I too like this, I mean the Haitian was first introduced with Matt as a bad guy, now he's good and helping claire... or is he? lol

Goes to show, you never know how it will end. Peter could lose control and become the bad guy and Sylar might jump on board and help the good guys.... then eat their brains.

Actually, something has been bothering me. How did sylar manage to use his powers to escape?

L31mr0d

Okay

I'm thinking they have some way of dampening whatever this genome mutation is, and as Sylars original mutation was his ability to see how things work maybe thats all that was dampened, maybe powers he absorbed from others aren't dampened the same way as those born with those powers?

The one time he wasn't Sylar did use them.

Another reason I don't think it's the facility is that Parkman couldn't use the ability on the Haitian in the bar.


I know there have been arguments about these but I don't agree with them. Parkman wasn't able to use it on Bennet either during the FBI raid(are people saying the entire paper factory is protected) or in the station, when the haitian was there.

Great

I'm after watching Heroes, all 17 in the one week and I can say that that was by the best episode, Its answers a lot more questions than Lost and I'm looking forward to the next episodes:)

Overheal

Great

I've never watched LOST but as an outsider to it I get the idea that the titled has nothing to do with a Desert Isle

im...LOST

Great

That was amayonazing!!!!

I loved every minute of it. Poor Claires dad

ArmaniJeanss

Great

Brilliant ep. For me this is the first time I've watched a Heroes ep the same way i watch Lost, with constant rewinding over scenes and eventually taking 90 minutes to watch a 42 minute episode.

I think it really worked just concentrating on a few characters rather than the continuous hop from one to another, and hope they do this more often for the rest of the series.
