== 2-hour Finale ==
 
Line 6 ⟶ 9:
::It's a two-hour finale. I don't have any sources but I've seen the commercials. They'l;l only play the heroes logo once, so its only one episode. [[User:Redraf|Redraf]] 01:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 
:::I haven't found *anything* to suggest that the finale will be a two-hour episode. (In fact, ''Law and Order: Criminal Intent'' is scheduled to take over the 10 PM timeslot from ''Wedding Crashers'' on May 14th and 21st.) --'''[[User:Ckatz|Ckatz]]'''''<small><sup>[[User_talk:Ckatz|<fontsup colorstyle="color:green;">chat</fontsup>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ckatz|<fontsub colorstyle="color:red;">spy</fontsub>]]</sub></small>'' 02:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 
::::The MediaWeek link states that "How To..." is 1 hour, but my local TV Guide says 2 hours and has it blocked for 2, while the Austin TV Guide says 1 hour and blocked for one (with L&O right after, as you've described). I suspect there was some sort of mix-up in their decision to describe the finale as being a 'three part finale'. [[User:Nb41|Nb41]] 17:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Line 54 ⟶ 57:
:::Perhaps it was coincidental. Nathan could have seen Claire holding up the gun to Peter from a distance, flown in, and said "There's another way." [[User:camknows|camknows]] 22 May 2007
::::Except that, on second viewing, Nathan says "Yes, there is, Claire," indicating rather unambiguously that he was part of the conversation. So it's a blooper. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 00:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Not quite. A blooper is something that comes out that us (the audience) picks up that the director overlooked in the final editing. A blooper may be something like seeing a clock on the wall, and when it turns back to teh character, the time is 3 hours ahead all the sudden (continuity error). In this case, Nathan's words, while highily unlikely that he heard the earlier conversation before arriving, were meant to happen. His words were chosen and acted by the director to be part of the plot, and to drive the story, build character relations, and to have a classic "come at teh last minute to save the day" cliché that you see in so many other films. If it was meant to happen by the director, then it is not a blooper, no matter how impossible it may seem to happen in real life. Remember that this show is FICTION...which means that sometimes FICTIONOUS plot twists and events happen. :) imrumpf [[User:206.191.69.149|206.191.69.149]] 12:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::: Actually this thread is misnamed. See "[[Blooper]]" and "[[Continuity_(fiction)#Continuity_errors|Continuity error]]". --[[User:ToobMug|ToobMug]] 14:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Ooh! Ooh! I know! Sylar crawled away, killed Candice, killed Nathan, disguised himself as Nathan, projected a Sylar corpse onto the ground, and used his superhuman hearing. It's so obvious! It's consistent with [[Five Years Gone]] and everything. --[[User:ToobMug|ToobMug]] 14:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Theory page ==
Line 84 ⟶ 92:
:::Actually, theories can be included on wiki, such as the theory of [[general relativity]]. It just has to be a theory that is published and widely accepted. --[[User:Pinkkeith|Pinkkeith]] 14:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
::::...and which theories about Heroes would not be. I should've been more specific. [[User:Ultraexactzz|ZZ]] 19:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 
== Kirby Plaza ==
 
What or where is Kirby Plaza? Is it a movie set, or a cleared-out piece of some city? As I recall, the bomb was described as having gone off somewhere like "the heart of New York", so why is it so quiet there? And quiet outside Nathan's office, too. Is that what New York's like at night, or does it relate to the election or something? --[[User:ToobMug|ToobMug]] 08:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 
The real Kirby Plaza is Arco Plaza in Los Angeles. I'm guessing it's subbing for NYC's [[Rockefeller Center]]. IIRC, we're not told what time they all meet up in the plaza, so who knows if it's 7 PM or Midnight. [[User:Ttenchantr|Ttenchantr]] 21:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 
== "Generations"- possible references ==
 
There are a couple of possible references in the "Generations" section- firstly, Hiro landing with a thud on a grassy hill just after the title is shown, possibly referring to [[Star Trek: Generations]]. The other is the number of mounted samurai- although it's quite difficult to count, I think there are [[Seven Samurai]]...
