Talk:How to Stop an Exploding Man

message: : Does anyone have sources that state whether this episode is two hours or a continuation of the last episode? And they both run at the same night. I ask, because that means in syndication there will be 24 episodes not 23. (152.8.134.102 16:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a two-hour finale. I don't have any sources but I've seen the commercials. They'l;l only play the heroes logo once, so its only one episode. Redraf 01:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't found *anything* to suggest that the finale will be a two-hour episode. (In fact, Law and Order: Criminal Intent is scheduled to take over the 10 PM timeslot from Wedding Crashers on May 14th and 21st.) --Ckatzchatspy 02:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The MediaWeek link states that "How To..." is 1 hour, but my local TV Guide says 2 hours and has it blocked for 2, while the Austin TV Guide says 1 hour and blocked for one (with L&O right after, as you've described). I suspect there was some sort of mix-up in their decision to describe the finale as being a 'three part finale'. Nb41 17:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Other than listing Tawny Cypress and Richard Roundtree in the credits I can't find any confirmation that they will be in the finale.  The preview for 'How to Stop an Exploding Man' does not show them, unless there is a preview I haven't seen, and I've looked.  Steveo9009 06:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, in one of the two previews available (I want to say it's the Canadian one but I am unsure), we see them both interacting with characters (new footage, not from previous episodes). Context does not indicate if they are flashbacks or 'current timeline'. Nb41 17:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: : I think there should be a reference to the fact that at other times in the series [It may only be once, but I might have missed it if it has occurred more than one time] Sylar appears to be dead and then a cockroach is shown. Specifically, this happens [If I recall correctly] in the episode "The Fix." Can anyone double-check this? 71.134.234.209 05:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a translation of the expletive that Hiro uses at the end of the episode? My Japanese is less than fluent, but i think the pronouciation on the word was (romanized) "tainpinchu" or something similar. i just think this would be an ammusing fact to work in if someone can discover its tranlsation. epocalypse 06:17, 22  May 2007 (UTC)
He said "Dai-pinchi" which he has said before if I rightly recall. Its not a swearword in Japanese, it just means "Big Pinch". No idea why they made it a "swearword" translation. 84.67.236.27 17:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: NASA lists four solar eclipses for 1671 - all partial eclipses. There were total eclipses in 1670 and 1672, however. The link to NASA's catalog of eclipses is Here. I doubt that this is truly relevant as anything other than trivia (which we shouldn't have), but wanted to add it here, in case. ZZ 13:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone wrote (Anyone want to start a theory page on wiki?) on the article. It goes here. — Daniel 22:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect. Wikipedia is not a forum or a fansite. If someone wants to post theories, i suggest they check out http://www.9thwonders.com/boards/ and http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page. dposse 22:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think he meant that the comment/question itself would go here, where it may quickly and efficiently be shot down. Regardless, I concur - there's no place for Original Research here, which Theories - by definition - would be. ZZ 12:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, theories can be included on wiki, such as the theory of general relativity. It just has to be a theory that is published and widely accepted. --Pinkkeith 14:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ...and which theories about Heroes would not be. I should've been more specific. ZZ 19:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: What or where is Kirby Plaza?  Is it a movie set, or a cleared-out piece of some city?  As I recall, the bomb was described as having gone off somewhere like "the heart of New York", so why is it so quiet there?  And quiet outside Nathan's office, too.  Is that what New York's like at night, or does it relate to the election or something? --ToobMug 08:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There are a couple of possible references in the "Generations" section- firstly, Hiro landing with a thud on a grassy hill just after the title is shown, possibly referring to Star Trek: Generations. The other is the number of mounted samurai- although it's quite difficult to count, I think there are Seven Samurai... MorkaisChosen (talk) 16:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
