Episode 08 - "Seven Minutes To Midnight" - Discussion Thread

[ragdus]

I think her relationship to her son is greatly developed. It's a paranoid, over-protective kind of relationship. Normal Niki love her son and trys to take care of her the best she can...Jessica (was that her name) is the paranoid, over-protective side that will do ANYTHING to keep the kid with Nikki.

but that's all HER personality, not her relationship WITH her son. She has had very little screen time with him to this point, so there hasn't been time spent showing the mother/son bond.

So, my dvr cut off the last minute...what happened at the end?

Hiro went to Japan and got a Hanzo sword.

It kinda hints that Hiro can't change the future.

That, or that's another curveball.

 

[Magneto29]

I don't think he changed it. Cause if he did, the police wouldn't still be around if the crime didn't happen.

Did anyone hear when Mr Bennet said earthquake to issac, issac painted an earthquake am i the pnly one who heard it

 

[burning-robot]

Eden said that Bennet promised her she wouldnt have to use her powers again, "again" meaning he made her use her power to do something she didnt want to do once before. I think Eden might turn on him sooner of later. Do you think Bennet killed Claires birth parents with Edens help?

 

[Easter Lily]

Mohinder will be the Xavier to Bennets Magneto.

Interesting comparison...
Looking forward to it.

It could mean anything really. Did Bennet say that Claire's parents were killed? Can't remember.
Whatever the case may be, it does appear that Eden isn't the femme fatale that early speculation made her out to be.

I think the boy in the folder is the first victim of Sylar.Sanjog Iyer as a result of an incomplete transfer of powers or just cos it was the first time sylar had done it,it changed him causing him to take the name S.Iyer or as he calls him self Sylar.

The Sanjog Iyer will be the key to finding sylars weakness. I think he still "lives" in Sylars mind. He exists on the dreamscape and will start guiding Mohinder to set he free.

Or i might just have had to much coffee.

 

[burning-robot]

Sylar was the first super that PapaSuresh ever met then when did Papa meet Iyler? Assumeing Iyler is from Indian and Papa left India to find the "patient-zero"
and hasnt returned to indian since.

 

[Easter Lily]

I am more inclined to think that Iyer was one of Papa Suresh's early discoveries... is probably somewhere between 11-15 years old, a boy not Mohinder's "special" sister and has the ability to manipulate a person's dream state and show them images from the past. Unless proven otherwise, I'm not convinced that he is Mohinder as a child, considering the fact that Mohinder didn't know who he was and that there's a folder of Iyer locked up in P.Suresh's desk drawer.

I don't think he's Sylar... From what we saw in Sylar's apartment, young Paul was an altar boy of caucasian descent.

Well if you noticed the picture changes, the original picture of the girl at her own birthday party, and then again at the end you see hiro with he in the picture at her birthday party. So hes in the past, yet im not actually sure how far back he jumped date wise, if it was 6 months ago, or 2 weeks ago. Ill have to watch the show again to see what the dates are, to see if the say how long ago her birthday was.

 

[bulok]

If Hiro was there for her birthday then it's 6 months. She said she got the book for her birthday 6months ago but only started reading it a week or so ago.

He didnt say anything about Claire's biological father but he did say that they had been watching Claire's biological mother and the woman had interpeted their tracking her as a threat and in the end that proved fatal. But that left him and his wife with a beautiful baby girl to take care of since at the time they couldnt concieve a child.

It's an odd paradox. If she doesn't get killed and or she doesn't go to work that day, then Hiro wouldn't have met her and he wouldn't have gone back in time to save her.

Ok then thats settled. Yeah he did go back 6 months ago to her birthday. Ill post pictures in a bit.

update, here are the pictures

She does say that her birthday was 6 months ago, thats how she got her japanese phrase book, it was a present. She just started reading it a week ago.

*she also has the cutest lisp EVER *lol* *

and hasnt returned to indian since.

patient zero doesn't mean it's the first person he met with it, it means it's the first person known to have exhibited "symptoms." Sylar could have been the 10,000th person he met and still be patient zero.

 

[Decaramas]

Is Hiro wearing the same clothes in the photo as when he teleported? Aslo do you think this is how future Hiro he got his accent?

 

[-Æ-]

Yeah hes still wearing the same clothes, yet I would think he would need to stay longer than 6 months to develop such a rich accent. Yet I do think this is the basis of where he learns most of his english other than his friend.

 

[Fantastic Fan22]

Just a quick comment, people are talking about the kid in the file being S. Iyer being Sylar. Well the file folder said SANJOG, Iyer...not sure if i spelled the name right but regardless.... Iyer would be the first name of the kid not the last because of the comma in front of it, that is how the folder would have been filed so the kids name would be

Iyer Sanjog

 

[ragdus]

Hey I think I stumbled upon something that has been overlooked. When i was rewatching the latest ep after my iTunes season pass downloaded it, I noticed something during the opening recap sequence they run to kick off each ep.

First we all know where this and this picture came from. It was pretty obvious. But when I saw the recap sequencem look what I found.


Did Issac have a prior run-in with Mr. Bennett we don't know about yet? Hmmmm....

 

[-Æ-]

looks like they branded him too.

looking at that picture, and the other two, i think the mark on issac is more likely paint because the location of the mark is different

 

[ragdus]

It's in a different spot on Matt than Nuclear guy too.

 

[Fantastic Fan22]

i see that now, but they are still around the back base of the neck...and i dont think issac's mark is as distinct as matt or ted's...leading me to think it is paint

 

[ragdus]

Okay, then let me ask this.... what are the odds of someone unintentionally painting 2 parallel lines lines that narrow on the front of oneself that just so happen to look an awful lot lot markings showing up on other characters? let's face it, makeup would have had to put the "paint marks" on him for effect, so don't you think someone would have said "uh, that looks exactly like the tats we're throwing on matt & the other guy, so how about going with a single brush stroke?"


Or did he intentionally paint them on himself while stoned as part of a vision? oooo....
