== Bloopers ==

Some articles contain some kind of "Bloopers" or "Errors" section. Here is one I saw while watching this episode:

* ''(Penultimate scene, in the square in New York City)'' Peter tells Claire to shoot him in order to stop his impending explosion. Claire says, "Tell me there is another way." Peter says that there is not. Nathan then swoops in out of the sky and tells Claire "there<s>There's another way</s> Yes, there is, Claire." It's obvious that Nathan was quite a distance away before he arrived, so how did Nathan hear the first part of the conversation? — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 14:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

:: It might be incidental, calling back to their conversation in the office (Future not written in stone, etc). It won't work with the article, as we're not adding trivia sections to these articles anymore, but it's an interesting point. [[User:Ultraexactzz|ZZ]] 14:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

:::Even if it was notable, it would probably be original research without proper sourcing. [[User:Dposse|dposse]] 15:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

:::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)

::::Staying in the subject, why Peter needed Nathan to come? Why didn't Peter flew far away by himself if he already had this power? Was it just an unconsidered option by him or a huge plot hole? [[User:Ultranol|Ultranol]] 23:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::A reasonable explanation/speculation for that is that Peter was too busy trying to contain the nuclear energy to have the concentration to tap into Nathan's flying ability. [[User:ArleneElizabeth|ArleneElizabeth]] 23:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

::::::During the entire time he was about to nuclear, he never used an ability - it might be he ''couldn't'' [[User:NasDestiny|NasDestiny]] 15:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::It looks like he was using all of his concentration and power to stop himself from exploding, so it's reasonable to assume that he couldn't use any other power. Also, unless I'm mistaken, no one has been able to use more than one power simultaneously, which could also have been a limiting factor for Peter. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 00:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
