Did anyone else notice that the guy in the future told Peter the first case of the virus was in MARCH 2007? What's up with that. I assumed that this was taking place in the now, Fall 2007.

Any ideas, or am I just missing something?

A few tidbits: the current story arc will be ending by episode 12 :) So only a few weeks left to resolve it all, thank goodness!

Also next weeks episode will answer most of the questions oustanding currently about the characters...

Anyway onto the discussion/predictions. I think Alejandro will be the one who saves the plague from happening by absorbing it into himself. Well that's my guess anyway.

I don't trust West at all, and think that part is going to end badly. Then again, I don't trust Bob's motivation either. I'm wondering if Bob is actually doing what Adam wants.

Anyway, that's it for now, jumping into this discussion mid thread and all (since MsG and I just barely finished getting caught up on the entire series last night).

2 decimal places. I think it's just coincidence, personally.

Like the rest of y'all, I was really happy to see Matt stepping up and learning more of his abilities. I am glad that he could save Molly and neutralize the threat of his father.

Kensei as Adam was a bit of a surprise, but oddly enough, we had just had a discussion in out little watching group about the cellular regeneration and whether Claire would live a lot longer because of it (Wolverine was heavily used in the discussion, since he lived for about 600 years or so). I can't wait to see the connection with Peter in the next episode.

I think the show is indeed happening in the here and now, but the first documented case of the virus might have been one that the Company was able to contain. That could account for the discrepancy.

I think that Caitlin is lost to us, lost to a future that people are now going to have to try to prevent. We had a lot of talks about other space-time anomalies as well.

Noah is still one of my favorite characters, but then again, I know I'm a sadist.

It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.

Everyone loves a violent sociopath.

Actually, it makes sense that the first documented case takes place in March 2007. Remember that the season finale was on Election Day, and that's always in November. Four months after that, when the show picks back up, would be in March.

A thought regarding Caitlin: when the future she's in is erased, she may just get shunted into the "fixed" future, with her memories intact.

[TREKNOBABBLE]
Her temporal signature won't match the timeframe. She's out of synch with the spacetime point she's in, so any changes to that timeline wouldn't influence her.

YOUNG LOVE STINKS Kring regrets sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ''I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''


Wow. Such Joss-like humility. That's refreshing, and gives me faith in the rest of the season!

If only more show runners could be as Tim. Someone admitting they're wrong in Hollywood, perish the thought.

On the other hand, I don't think all of the things he mentioned were horrible. West has some potential (they could, I don't know, make him evil ). Maya and Alejandro aren't bad characters, and I was always fond of how their powers worked in conjunction. I think the biggest problems so far have been execution.

I will agree that they kept Hiro in Japan for too long. They could have managed most of that storyline in three or four episodes.

I think their only real problem thus far for me has been the pacing- but now they're gonna switch gears, so COOL!!!

Is it just me with the hunch that West works for Adam and / or if he doesnt now, he will soon?

my reasoning for it is twofold, one, did you notice how he skirted the question about his parents? two, he singled her out the moment she stepped onto campus, and doesnt seem to interact with anyone in the halls except Claire.

Reading the comics that take place in around around the show, I get the impression the haitian is looking to make amends, but for whom is beyond me.

I too kept thinking Linderman when I heard whitebeard!

and I have to agree with everyone here that Mohinder is acting like an idiot, also, why did the company have soo much of that vaccine on hand? A full fridge of it, that mohinder destroyed, and then learning there was even more of it? also, if it was a new strain, why since they had him there did they not test his antibodies against it before guineapigging it on folks?

things are not adding up. Also, why hasnt Matt tried to read gold creating company mans brain yet? that would quickly get them an answer.
