Heroes Season 1(#9)---11/20/06-'Homecoming'

[Felon]

I just watched that part, the cop says "That's the guy. The one in the overcoat that the janitor saw."

I just watched it too. I couldn't make out the whole line, but I definitely heard "janitor", not "senator". That's a throwaway line to explain why the cops showed up at right at that inconvenient point in time when nobody actually had a chance to call them.

 

[Felon]

This Sylar/peter/nathan thing is just getting more nonsensical. Its also very comical. Obviously the casting director should have cast a blond and red head for two of those roles. The actors have the same color hair. thats pretty much it. Why try to make the plot sound like giberish.

Hair color is about the only specific feature a body double is required to have in common with his character.

And if there's no reason for Sylar's face to be concealed all this time, then the plot's taken a nosedive into gibberish anyways. It's clearly a tease to get folks speculating, and I'm having plenty of fun with it, thank you very much.

 

[Felon]

Suppose to be awful, it's teenage talk.

"The only thing you'll regret is denying who you really are!"

Uggh. Meet Zach, the self-actualized fourteen-year-old.

 

[Felon]

Here's the shot of Sylar's face that Fast Learner refers to:

Pretty clearly not an established character, but there's no assurance that we're looking at the actual character or a stand-in. If that's the real mccoy, it's certainly a letdown.

 

[Fast Learner]

I just watched that part, the cop says "That's the guy. The one in the overcoat that the janitor saw."

Yes, I just rewatched the scene (prior to reading this) and that's exactly what I heard, and quite clearly.

 

[Fast Learner]

How come it took Syler so long to cut open the Bad Cheerleader's skull? (Assuming he actually did and killed her.) It only took him a few seconds to deal with Charlie.

I figure he was savoring it. With Charlie there were a ton of people around, making it a big hassle to be public about it, with actual potential for someone shooting him from behind, hitting him with a frying pan, etc.

In the school he just had the two cheerleaders to deal with, one of which he dealt with instantly. The other he got to "enjoy."

Or the healing thing.

 

[Felon]

Syler is NOT Peter. He is NOT Nathan. Live with it.

If you have inside info on the show, feel free to share, otherwise you're just another happy speculator.

How come it took Syler so long to cut open the Bad Cheerleader's skull? (Assuming he actually did and killed her.) It only took him a few seconds to deal with Charlie.

Maybe he felt like doing it slowly in one scene, and felt like drawing it out in another. Maybe it's something the writers just didn't put a ton of thought into. See, I find it odd to focus on that type of minutae while ridiculing speculation on Sylar's identity, which is something the show's creators certainly want to be the object of water-cooler schmoozing.

 

[DonTadow]

Whereas you can not determine sylar's motives from teh show you can certainly rule some things out, such as the peter/nathan/sylar thing. There's too much evidence to back up that this is just some wild speculation. There's not a shred of evidene that backs it up other than the wierd notion that if someone has the same hair color they must be the same person. I just think the director wanted to hide sylar until this and the next episode.

If your argument is that if they havn't said otherwise then its a valid speculation then we can make wild assumptions as to the city that blew up is hollywood and not newyork, nickie is clair and big bird will show up with the power to manifest snuffleupagis.

Which is why I claim that Sylar isn't Nathan/Peter/Niki/Elmo, and why I say that the slow death of the mean cheerleader was for pure dramatic license.

(besides, who wouldn't savor the death of Jackie, the mean cheerleader?)

That would be cool.
