I was just rewatching the end of the show. Some people are wondering whether DL will turn intangible and the bullet will go through him. But I just had a thought.
What happens if you’re shot, then you turn intangible and the bullet falls out? You’re still injured I guess, but maybe less injured, assuming the bullet didn’t hit something vital? How would that work? Would the bullet turn intangible with him, like his clothes evidently do?
Or maybe she is just going to miss.
Well, I don’t understand why so many people think this episode was so good. I found it srangely unsatisfying. It felt like it was building up to something spectacular or earth shattering, but most of it was a bit ordinary.
Still, it was entertaining enough.
Isn’t it great you asked that here?
Here’s what ol uncle Cecil has to say on how bullets kill

Essentially unless Ghost dad’s powers are automatic he would be killed the second the bullet hit him: High power rifle+speedy bullet+hydrostatic shock= real ghost dad.
Now he could get lucky and she could be a lousy shot. Or somehow when impacted his body will change… allowing the water within to expand freely sparing his organs.
Here’s a thought I had, and maybe I’m just being crazy here.
What if they saved the wrong cheerleader?
Everyone’s assuming that “Save the Cheerleader” refers to Claire. But Jackie was also a cheerleader, and she’s dead - they didn’t save her. Maybe she was the cheerleader they were supposed to have saved.
Because not everyone shares your tastes and preferences?
Isn’t this show produced by Brian Fuller, the same guy who did Dead Like Me? If so, I’m not surprised that the music is good. The music in DLM was pretty awesome. I haven’t noticed it quite as much in Heroes, but it’s still good.
Coming in a little late here, but no one else has mentioned it…
When Eden told Sylar, “You don’t want to hurt me,” did anyone else pipe up with, “These aren’t the Droids you’re looking for”?
Yup, and my husband witnessed me do it. 
Nope, I’m still locked into the whole Bene Gesserit meme, reinforced by the fact that they did a David Lynch’s Dune-style distortion on her Voice.
Is AED immune to Eden’s powers? She argued with him about Isaac rather than just looking at him and saying, “You don’t want me to do that.”
Interesting. I suppose there must be some kind of limit to what she can do - or perhaps, if you are aware of her powers, it’s easier to resist them. Or maybe he has some kind of power over her, or she feels indebted to him - they did allude to the fact that he saved her from a life in the gutter.
Who the fuck is “AED”? 
My husband did. I’m not that quick.
AED = Ambiguously Evil Dad
Could it hurt to write "Claire’s Dad or Mr Bennett? Please, no impossible to figure out silly-assed nicknames and such.
If you read the thread(s), you will find that people also didn’t know who “Mr. Bennett” is.
A few thoughts after just watching it a second time:
There was a glyph spot no one caught on the Greyhound bus sign where Micah was hiding from DL in Utah.
There have been comments that maybe the supersmart waitress is not dead, just missing. A slight wrinkle comes in where AED shows Eden pictures of Sylar’s victims without the tops of their heads, and the waitress is in one of the pictures.
Yes, I was a big nerd who freeze-framed the show on the computer screen Mohinder accessed with the list of names. On it is DL, Niki, Isaac, Nathan, Matt, Hiro, and then cut off at the bottom is someone from Midland, TX. There are 7 people whose names are shown completely that are not in the show (yet?) including one from Frostburg (woohoo! Maryland!). Notably not shown were Peter and Micah (since both have a family member on the list).
Look I know some folks get pissy about the use of weird nicknames for the characters in these threads, but could you please just move on? Sure they can be as confusing as using the real names, but no one seems to hesitate to explain who or what they’re referring to. You’re not going to change, say, Otto’s mind, and people quickly resolve any confusion that results, so won’t that do as a satisfactory compromise?
Unless you get some kind of perverse enjoyment out of useless, circular arguments.
Agreed. I used to be in the “don’t use initials” camp, especially when Mr. Bennet got two initials (AED and HRG for “horn rimmed glasses”). But then I noticed the closed captioning also called him HRG. At least we’re not using the OWI, OWOI acronyms around here. (Organization Without Initials, ironically given initials now) My philosophy is: when in doubt, spell it out. But let it go if others don’t do likewise.
