[QUOTE=AuntiePam] How is a super memory going to help save the world? I don’t see Ken Jennings in the State Department. [/quote] She seemed to extrapolate to some extent on the knowledge. Note that she spoke some Japanese that wasn’t in her phrase book. > [@AuntiePam](#): > > Where did the cops get the name Sylar (or Syler or Siyer, or whatever it is) in the first place? I don’t think we know. Matt read it from FBI agent Clea Duvall, who said that there were only (some small number of people…6?) who knew the name. > [@Auntie Pam](#): > > So do we think the child – S. Iyer – is a killer? But it’s not S. Iyer. Iyer is the first name. There’d have to be some Yangs and Comms-level mangling to get Sylar out of that. > [@AuntiePam](#): > > (We need a Lost-type questions thread.) Naw…questions on _Heroes_ actually get answered sometimes. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] Agreed she’s a Bene Gesserit but I thought when she was saying she knew what it was like she meant she knew what it was like to be an addict. That better explains her reaction when Mr Bennet prepared the needle. She was upset that it would undo the work Isaac was doing to try to kick his addiction (which, actually though, was he really?). [/QUOTE] Hm. Claire’s dad did mention something about her being in bad shape when he first met her. I suppose she could be referring to a former addiction. _makes note to watch episode again_ What exactly is Claire’s dad doing, anyway? Trying to find Sylar? Trying to locate supers who can help him do so? Is his “research” supported by the government, or is he doing this on his own? ---

Hmm…except that “Iyer” is actually an Indian [surname](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyer). And [Sanjog](http://baby-names.adoption.com/search/Sanjog.html) is apparently a first name, and male. I’m confused. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] The name on the Dreamy Kid’s file is SANJOG, Iyer. I assumed it was a boy but s/he is retty androgynous. [/QUOTE] IMDB has the character’s name as Sanjog Iyer, and the actor is a boy. It’s weird that his name is so close to Syler/Sylar, but maybe it’s just a coincidence. **Otto** , I forgot about that part, the extrapolation. Cool! I’m losing track of everyone’s location too. Where are they? Where are Clea Duvall and the cop and Atomic Man? ---

BTW, Midland-Odessa, Texas, is not known for having a vast forest around it for making large quantities of paper. Could be a wholesaler, I suppose. ---

[QUOTE=E-Sabbath] B: He’s going to come back the long way and learn english. [/QUOTE] How exactly is he going to come back the long way? You mean, he goes back to the past and just waits until it becomes that point in time when she was supposed to be killed? Isn’t that positing an alternate timeline branching out from the point in the past he travels to? I’m not quite sure what would cause a delay in his return, whatever the case. No matter how long he stays in the past, it really shouldn’t matter since all he’d have to do is jump back to the same point in the future he jumped from. His friend (Ando?) would experience it as a few seconds regardless of whether Hiro was gone for five minutes or five months. ---

So help me, I laughed out loud when Eden commented on the face Hiro makes when he concentrates. Per IMDB: Paul Sylar (played by Sean Bean, whoa) vs Sanjog Iyer - so maybe it is just coincidence. Now a whole week til the next episode! ---

Just to clear something up I went to IMDB and looked at the castlist. S. Iyer is indeed male. It appears that any similarity to the names S.Iyer and Sylar are coincidental. I really hate when writers give characters similar names (Robert Jordan I’m looking at you). By the way … I was surprised to see who was cast as Sylar! I didn’t think he did TV. Go see for yourself. ; P ---

[QUOTE=Wile E] … I was surprised to see who was cast as Sylar! I didn’t think he did TV. Go see for yourself. ; P [/QUOTE] Or you could just read the spoiler in the post above mine. Should have previewed. I thought of another question. Mysterious man (the bald black guy in the bar and Mr. Bennett’s helper) is now The Haitian. How did Radioactive Man and Telepacop know he was Haitian? Did I miss something there, like was her wearing a “Kiss Me, I’m Haitian!” button? Oh, and in regards to the waitress getting killed. I thought the bit with her opening the can was foreshadowing what was about to happen to her, so maybe she was killed with a giant can opener? ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] That wasn’t Eden. What was her name again? Miss Know-it-All. [/QUOTE] Oops - I read all the comments and got confused as to who was who.
