Chapter 41 - “Eris Quod Sum” – Discussion Thread 10/27/08

Peter looks way younger than both of them. He looks like ten years younger than Nathan and about 5 younger than Sylar. How could Nathan even get so far into politics as he has if he was in his late twenties?

His running for State Congress in Season 1 was his first time Running. You can be in your late 20's early 30's and run for Congress.

I just found this:

Peter was born on December 23, 1979, making him 29 years old.

War Buddies takes place in Nov 15 1968, And in WB2, Arthur has a Letter in his pocket that says "Our son took his first steps today". We can assume that would be Nathan, placing his birth sometime in 1967, so, he is 41 years old.

 

[LadyVader]

So Sylar should be in his early 30's. Ironically, Quinto is just one month older than Milo Ventimiglia.

So, then, we can assume that Nathan would be old enough to remember his mother being pregnant, and giving birth to Gabriel.

Good point.

Hatian made him forget maybe?

I didn't think about that. It wouldn't have to be the Hatian, it probably could have been Maury.

I also wonder, if the only reason Arthur and Angela were together were for a Breeding Program. To see how far they can take it. That would make sense to me, that they think of their children as more of Science Experiments than Offspring.

Great thought! It would also coincide with Linderman's comments about Niki and D.L. and how he was behind their entire lives, them getting together, and them subsequently having Micah.

The Company sounds like it was a huge science experiment/breeding ground.

Well, we have Linderman's Comments. And, Angela and Arthur don't really seem to have had a loving relationship. Kaito and Angela have hinted at having a relationship. Maybe more Breeding Experiments.

We know that Arthur, Peter and Sylar all share the same type of Power.
We know that Maury and Matt have the Same Style of Power.
We know that Niki (and Tracy) were Given Power.
We know that Micha doesn't share a power with his Parents
We know that Claire doesn't share a power with her Parents.

We can assume that if the "Breeding Couple" naturally had a power, the Children will be granted a similar power, and if the Parents were given the Power, the Children would have a different manifestation of the Power.

So, either Hiro was given the Power, or his mother also have Time/Space Manipulation type Power.

 

[PLAS]

True. I would've preferred another way of looking at the backstories, something akin to Company Man.

and that one wasn't a flashback episode?

 

[Gallagher]

and that one wasn't a flashback episode?

Well no not really, it had flashbacks in it but I wouldn't call it a flashback episode.

 

[November Rain]

it was a flashback episode.

 

[Gallagher]

it was a flashback episode.

If I remember rightly it was damn near 50/50. Episodes like '4 Months Ago' is what I would call a flashback episode.

 

[Spidey Rules 2]

I liked the fire/ice aspect of Tracy and Meredith's stare down.

If Elle goes to the company and Sylar takes her power, I will be pissed

I was kind of hoping they would shake hands when they met. Maybe Tracy's hand would still have been cold from earlier causing Meredith to warm them up or something.

Don't worry, Sylar won't take Elle's powers. He already tried that, it caused her to short out and slammed Sylar against the wall. All the other prisoners in Level 5 were then able to escape.

Did anyone think it was a little weird that when Maya said good-bye to Suresh, she left with a suitcase on wheels? I know she's going back home, but when did she pack up her clothes? Did Suresh pack for her on the way to Pineherst? Maybe Arthur decided to do a little shopping for her (cause he's a nice guy like that ) and gave her new clothes along with the money and passport.

Was it just me or was this a love letter to veronica mars? Lyle says 'The ***** is Back' which was the name of the last episode of veronica mars, the ***** being veronica and Elle says she's off to see the wizard. an Oz reference heavily used in the VM pilot.


as for the trailer for next week. Could this be the beginnings of the syler/elle relationship that leads to Noah. After all Elle seems to respect HRG a lot

 

[carrrnuttt]

His father at least needs to touch his victims

Not anymore, if he truly absorbed Peter's original power. He only has to touch people now, if he intends to drain their powers, and not just get them for himself.

 

[Sawyer]

This weeks episode was by far the best yet in S3. It's getting better every week.

Claire: Hey, Elle lets go to Pinehearst and see whats going on with our powers
Elle: Okay sure
Claire: Oh! What do you know, Peter just fell out a window! What a coincidence!!
Elle: Yeah, well I'm going in now, okay?...bye!


Someone a few pages back said he wished they just rebooted back to season 2. Same here! Everything is just so screwed and lame And I think Season 2 was better than season 3. I keep getting disappointed. Hopefully the show picks up before the hiatus.
I just want to get rid of so many people!
The Petrellis are soooo annoying, ugh...it makes my blood boil whenever one of those dumbass brothers show up on screen
The Bennetts, super annoying, just **** claire!
New charecters are NOT interesting: Daphne, Tracy, random annoying African guy, Knox....all annoying.

On a plus side: Maya has finally left! About time...but thats not going to save the show because practically EVERYONE has become what Maya was to Season 2

And sooo much for the Nightmare Man ....personally I don't care that maury died but why hype him up to be "even worse than Sylar" when he was really just a lame charecter who stole the spotlight for like 1 episode

You sound like a thirteen year old girl... just a little. With all your eye rolls and sad faces and lengthened "soooo's". If you come back with a better arguement, I'd be more inclined to listen to what you're saying, but instead you just called all the characters lame.

And you sound like a ****ing dumbass for trying to insult me because I don't agree with your opinion....just a little

You're the dumbass that keeps coming back into the FAN forum for a show you can't stand, just to try and prove that you're smarter than all the rest who still happen to like the show, flaws and all.

 

[Sawyer]

I wasnt insulting you because I disagree with you. Quite the contrary. I insulted you because you sounded like a teenage girl throwing a hissy fit because the show, in your opinion, had a bad episode. If you had actually had an arguement that didnt depend on constant eyerolls, I would have actually respected what you had to say, even if I didnt agree with it.
