Poorly phrased.
Noah is clearly not part of the photo team unless he is the photographer. Given his relatively low status in the company this is highly suspect. I suspect that the photographer is irrelevant to the show, the people In the photo are what matters, we can vaguely identify all of them.
OK, the Company ‘tagged’ Parkman, and they also tagged Ted and Isaac, and we now know that Parkman’s dad was one of the “Originals”, so does that mean that Ted was the son of one of that group? And Isaac? What about Hana ‘Wireless’? Was she the daughter of someone in that photo? Is the new generation of “Heroes” limited to the offspring of that original group? What about Sylar? One argument against this would be the Haitian, who appears to have no connection at all to the original group. I got nothin’.
If the killer was Claude, why would he have appeared at all to Nakamura? He could have pushed him off the ledge without being seen at all. Then again, he CLEARLY went over the side with him, so he would have to have some way of surviving. Maybe there are multiple killers? A Legion of Doom, so to speak? I say “Legion of Doom” in jest, since it may in fact be that these killings represent long-delayed justice for all of the horrible things that Mrs. Petrelli claims that she (and presumably others in that photo) did.
What’s Bob’s power?
Never mind I remember now. :smack:
The characters name is Kaito Nakamura. I am suprised you don’t know that.
The Company “bagged and tagged” any of the supers they came across. West is tagged and there’s been no suggestion that he’s related to anyone.
“Papa Sulu” is easier for me to type and you obviously know exactly who I was talking about. Get over it.
No, it isn’t known for certain. It’s more goofy conjecture, just unlabeled as such.
More plausible: he’s looking at Kaito, because Kaito is standing right next to his wife Angela, and they’d slept together.
Since Majjja and Alehhhandro managed to grow up as twins who have two completely different Spanish accents, it’s not too surprising that one of 'em learned English too, and the other didn’t.
Another daddy issue, didn’t Sylar’s dad also abandon him when he was a kid? Maybe there’s some super who just ran around spreading his super seed so he could see how many super offspring he could produce?
Why do you think Papa Sulu is dead? We saw a body…
If there’s a murder investigation, then there was an autopsy. And we know that Ando was there as a witness, so they had someone who could have identified the body. And it has been long enough since for Ando to have returned to Japan, returned to his job, and be slacking off from his job again. All during that time, no sign of Mr. Nakamura. And I can’t think of an instance on this show where the writers had a wild plot-twist that they hadn’t foreshadowed well beforehand. We’ve seen nothin’ like that.
Would Bob the Alchemist be able to transmute a random dead guy into Papa Sulu?
Wait, I thought Bobchemist’s power was just changing things into gold. Can he change stuff into other stuff?
True - its meant as ‘humourous’ conjecture - but it does nicely explain who took the picture!
(otherwise, in true mystery form - its the picture taker that doing the murdering!)
We know he can turn things to gold for certain, but are other transmutations possible?
Truly, there is nothing beyond his vast and plot-breaking powers. He actually transformed West into Peter so he could fly cross-country at supersonic speeds invisibly to look like someone Kaito knew while knocking him off a building for no particular reason.
And let’s not get into the unspeakable things he did to Nathan’s beard.
Leave Heidi out of it!
For Papa Sulu, yes, for others such as Mustache Man, I have no idea. Look Otto, you often have entertaining and informative posts. But you insist upon using the sill-asssed nicknames gleaned from another MB. However, that MB likes to confuse and confound outsiders, it’s members are seriosu TV fanwanks. They love stuff like knowing that a new character played a minor part on a obscure show years ago, and then referring to him by that name. But that’s them, not us. Here at the SDMB we are dedicated to fightig ignorance, not increasing it. There, anyone reading a thread will already know tons of obscure stuff about that show.* Here* we have dudes who have never watched the show, or are at best casual watchers, who would still like to find out what’s up. They can’t do that if we use silly obscure nicknames.
So I am asking you as a favor to me, as a fellow SDMB Charter Member, to please stop using silly confusing nicknames. Do it also as a favour to the casual watcher here on the SDMB. Please also keep on with your amusing and helpful posts. But Please, as a favour, stop with the nick-names. OK?
I assume you mean TWoP, and that is incorrect. I do not frequent those boards and I have no idea what nicknames if any are used there. The nicknames that I’ve used here either I’ve made up or have picked up from someone else here.
Well, you know what, no. I’m going to continue to do as I have been, which is to maybe use a nickname if I have no idea what the character’s name is as a convenient shorthand, and then once I know the character’s name use the character name and on a very rare occasion if it’s easier to type or if the nickname would be humorous in a particular context, use it. Honestly, I’m getting more than a little bit tired of being singled out and attacked for this. I’ve been taking shots starting with the first episode of the season over this and it’s bullshit. I realize that some may be more obscure than others (and I don’t use nicknames like “Mustache Man”) and I’m sorry if people can’t figure out that for instance “Papa Sulu” might be referring to the character played by the same guy who played Sulu for 30 years or that “Cheerbleeder” could possibly be a reference to the cheerleader character, but I hardly think it rises to the level of “promoting ignorance.” So with all due respect, I have to decline to do you this favor.
Eh. As nicknames go, “Papa Sulu” isn’t too bad. After all, Heroes deliberately cast Sulu, and have made in-jokey references to that fact (e.g., his lisence plate).
And – as with the Wonder Twins – Kaito Nakamura just isn’t a name that’s easy to bring to mind (for me, at least). That nickname at least has a good chance of identifying the character by association.
Now, “Smallville” is just trying so hard to be clever that it’s confusing. The character (West) flies, whereas one of the main points in Smallville is that Clark Kent does not fly. Furthermore, the actors don’t even resemble each other beyond “dark hair, playing an age they’re 10 years past.” Reading that in someone’s post not only adds confusion, it makes me inclined to disregard whatever they might be trying to say, out of annoyance.
Others of the (hopefully dead) nicknames were equally as grating. “Doppelbanger” in particular, mostly because people seemed to want to misspell it “dopplebanger” because most people know of the Doppler effect, but unless you’re German or played D&D you’re unlikely to know what a doppelgänger is. Stuff like that really detracts from the thread conversation.
