The website on the card that Bennett gave to Mohinder was: www.primatechpaper.com right?

Interesting, you know looking at the link name now, is the first time I've noticed the PRIMATE in primatech. Could just be a coincidence, but with what they are involved with... But I have not seen any evidence that they created the heroes, but they have messed with, monitored, and done who knows whatelse to them. Maybe it is an experiment out of control. Guess we might know next week.

I was more asking if that was the right so that I can try and dig a little to see if it is just a random site or something that the studio might have set up as a sort of Easter Egg.

I believe the primatech site is set up by the studio. When Bennet first gave the card to Mohinder, Comingsoon.net reported the site along with Bennet's sign in number for the fans to check it out.

Sylar has done TK-jumps and levitations before, so him flying to the garage is nothing new.

Someone postulated earlier about Claude's invisibility being true invisibility or a kind of obscurity field. Bennet and the Haitian saw Peter and Claude with IR viewers.

The problem is that that doesn't definitively answer the question one way or the other; if it's a psychic effect, it presumably won't work on the (artificial) images in the IR viewers.

I wonder what the password is.

Hehe, I like the "Your IP address has been recorded, further attempts to access may result in legal action" if you hit that link and then cancel or fail the Authentication.

This one is even more awesome:
http://www.samantha48616e61.com/

Luke Starkiller · Post by **Luke Starkiller** » 2007-02-20 09:37pm

What's a little interesting is that those two domains are registered by different companies, with different registrars. GE owns primatechpaper.com and they registered with CORPORATE DOMAINS, INC.

SAMANTHA48616E61.COM was registered with GODADDY by Domains by Proxy, Inc.

They even appear to have different DNS hosts. Reasonable effort has been taken to make them appear, at least superficially, genuinly separate.

They both have the same mail host though (Google in fact).

CaptainChewbacca · Post by **CaptainChewbacca** » 2007-02-20 11:31pm

Well, to be fair I think half the earth has google as a mail host;)

NBC seems to be going VERY multimedia with Heroes, though, and I've gotta say I really like it.

And, in using the power Peter to slam Isaac across the room, he did the same weird voice change that Sylar did when he used he power. Is it possible it is more than dramatic effect, and is something like the Banshee sonic power? I suppose if it was it would suck for him to use it anymore with the new hearing, but he'll probably learn to turn it on and off.

I thought Peter was using two separate abilities when he tossed Isaac around. Obviously Sylar's telekinesis, along with Eden's ability to "persuade" people. Since that's exactly the sort of sound effect they used on her voice whenever she used that ability.

I just realized how massively overpowered Peter is now that he's figured out how to control all his various abilities. While the various things he's done in the last couple episodes are impressive enough on their own, we now have a character that can
1) heal ridiculously fast
2) fly
3) stop time
4) use telekinesis
5) turn invisible and
6) have people do whatever he tells them to, whether they want to or not.

And those are just things we've seen him do on command. He's also quite capable of seeing the future and hearing thoughts. And if he absorbed all the powers Sylar was carrying at the time, then he can freeze things and god knows what else.

On another subject, I'm worried about Mohinder. It's not going to take long for him to figure out what Sylar is up to, and since Sylar can hear his heartbeat, Sylar is going to know almost as soon as Mohinder. Barring some miracle, I think he's fucked.

When did Peter run into Eden? I don't remember that.

I don't remember it specifically but Ted C mentioned it in the thread for episode 14. Even if he hasn't actually met her he might have been in close enough proximity when Peter was in Mohinder's apartment.

One thing I just realized is that if Peter and Sylar meet up, Sylar will definitely win now with his super hearing.

By the time they meet up Sylar will have learned to control it, but Peter won't and will be flailing about in pain from all of the increased noise.

Too bad for Peter, it looked to be a relatively fair fight before that.

Peter met Eden in one of the early episodes; I'd have to look at the ep list on HeroesWiki to be sure which.

It could go that way, but Peter doesn't always spontaneously manifest abilities when he first encounters them.

When has he not?

He might not demonstrate the active ones, but the passive ones he has always demonstrated when in close proximity.

Matt's telepathy, Claire's healing, Invisibile guy's invisibility, all of the passive powers he automatically picked up when they were near him.

Agreed; however, it does seem reasonable to assume that, as he's learned to call them up, he will similarly learn to turn them off when he needs to.

Peter met Eden when he was at Mohinder's appartment. Immediately after, despite not at all wanting to go to Issac's place, Mohinder suddenly agrees to do exactly what Peter asks. Its not clear-cut, but it seems to indicate subconscious manifestation of Eden's compulsion ability.

Agreed; however I was referring to the initial meet between Peter and Sylar with the new hearing powers. Peter does not demonstrate control of the powers when he first gets them, and although he can now control the powers that he already has access to, I don't see any reason for that to suddenly stop happening.

It's up for call really. All things in the past, Peter had zero training and/or practice at controling his powers. If Peter goes up against Sylar now, or in the near future as he continues to practice his abilities, it's reasonable to assume he might have better control over what gets used when. However, it's just as reasonable that that type of control would require a 'breaking in time' and he'd have simular problems that Sylar is having.

However, with super healing, wouldn't the headaches be a non issue? Or the pain? Claire hardly seems to be in pain anytime she mangles herself, let alone any pain when she 'realigns' herself.
